We’re bidding farewell to the spooky season, which can only mean one thing. No, not Christmas. Stow away the trees for now. Thanksgiving is just around the bend, and Aldi has a handful of seasonal staples headed our way; one item, in particular, completes the celebration so perfectly that you might not crave anything else—it’s practically the definitive Thanksgiving dish they’ve introduced so far. While more are likely on the horizon, let’s dive into the new (non-Thanksgiving) offerings arriving this week.
Appetito’s Buffalo Style Chicken or Spinach Artichoke Dips (10/28; $4.99)
The season for game day snacks is here, making it an ideal moment for Aldi to roll out these two dips. There isn’t a more classic pairing than Buffalo-style chicken and spinach artichoke. It seems these frozen dips have been waiting in the wings for cooler days and football to take center stage. Welcome to Aldi’s dip lineup, ready to chill in the freezer.
Pumpkin or Salted Caramel Cheesecake (10/28; $12.79)
This week brings two standout cheesecakes from Aldi: pumpkin and salted caramel. The pumpkin option blends pumpkin pie filling into a vanilla cheesecake perched on a graham crust, finishing with a generous scarf of caramel drizzle. The salted caramel cheesecake leans into sweetness, topped with caramel sauce and a light sprinkle of salt to balance the flavors.
Park Street Deli Thanksgiving Bake (10/28; $9.99)
If you had to pick just one Aldi item for Thanksgiving, this would be the pick. It packs all the essentials for a Thanksgiving spread into one dish—herb stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey meat, and cranberry sauce. It’s a convenient option for a small gathering or a quick heat-and-serve solution when your schedule is full.
Breakfast Best Breakfast Pita Snack Sandwiches (10/28; $6.29)
Are these a snack or a sandwich? To me, they feel a bit more than a mere snack. And you can certainly treat a sandwich as a snack if that’s your vibe. This week, Aldi’s Breakfast Best line introduces pita snack sandwiches. Each pocket comes with either egg and cheese or sausage and cheese. Apparently there wasn’t enough room to fit both egg and sausage inside.
Specially Selected Top Crusted Flounder (10/28; $7.29)
Aldi is adding three new Top Crusted Flounders to its freezer lineup this week, featuring coconut, macadamia nuts, and tortillas as toppings. Yes, tortillas. In practice, that means tortilla chips with Southwestern seasoning. It’s a somewhat inventive choice, but given Aldi’s track record, it’s reasonable to expect it to work well.
