A fresh week arrives with a slate of big-value picks from Aldi, as you might anticipate. One thing’s for certain: this list will leave you satisfied and well-fed. There are sturdy, budget-friendly options that also bring a sense of novelty, enough to make you look forward to the meals you’ll whip up with them. That kind of balance is hard to come by nowadays, but Aldi’s newest offerings this week are ready to deliver just that.

ALDI’s Seasoned Sweet Potato Tots ($3.99; 6/17)

At first glance a minor detail, but what I appreciate most about Aldi bringing in these seasoned sweet potato tots is their irregular shapes. The uneven pieces feel oddly fresh and give off a homemade vibe, which makes them seem comforting and approachable. With the summer chaos likely meaning a lot of kid-friendly meals like chicken nuggets, these sweet potato tots make a perfect side when you’re feeding a crowd or simply keeping things easy and tasty.

Fusia Asian Inspirations Bao Buns ($4.99; 6/17)

Thanks to Aldi, snacking has become much more straightforward. You know the kind of hunger that’s there but isn’t quite lunch or dinner—just enough to satisfy. Frozen bao buns are an effortless solution. This week you can pick up either teriyaki chicken or BBQ pork bao buns, or opt for a four-pack of each if you want to mix and match without fuss.

Breakfast Best Apple Cinnamon or Blueberry Stuffed Waffles ($4.99; 6/17)

Aldi is introducing stuffed waffles this week, featuring buttery brioche waffles filled with either apple-cinnamon or blueberry centers. They’re satisfying enough on their own, though a touch of syrup—especially the real thing—never hurts. You might enjoy sampling both flavors to see which bite you prefer and for a richer tasting experience overall.

Specially Selected Multilayer Gelato ($3.99; 6/17)

There’s a lot of chatter about Aldi’s birthday cake gelato, so the store expanded the line with additional flavors. This week brings three new options: salted caramel peanut crunch, Dubai chocolate, and mint chocolate. About $3.99 for a treat of this caliber is a deal you’ll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.

Specially Selected Frozen Multigrain or Sourdough Baguettes ($2.99; 6/17)

Cooking for one can be a real hassle when shopping for bread. The dilemma is either finishing a loaf almost instantly or wasting the remaining portion once it starts to go stale. These frozen baguettes from Aldi are made to live in your freezer until the moment you want them. You can even cut one in half before baking to tailor portions more precisely. Aldi offers two variants in this line: multigrain and sourdough.
