Wow, Aldi, you’ve truly outshined yourself this week. Was all of this crafted just for me? I’d like to live in a fantasy where that’s the case. As I survey this week’s lineup of new items, I’m inclined to believe my fiction. Two standout breakfast offerings (my preferred meal of the day), a tribute to my roots (cheesy Minnesota), and several meal kits (I often skip cooking from scratch). They’ve covered every angle. I’m nearly moved to tears by the spectacle. Anyway, I’ve gushed enough. Let’s dive into these deals!
Morning Delights: French Toast Meatballs (5/27; $6.49)
I’ve already raved about these in our Aldi May preview, and I’ll keep singing their praises here. These feature pork meatballs with maple-infused French toast pieces stirred in, delivering a complete breakfast spread in a single package. Is it a bit odd to eat meatballs for breakfast? Perhaps. Nevertheless, I’m willing to give them a try.
Mini Sausage & Pancake Bites for Breakfast (5/27; $6.29)
If the idea of breakfast meatballs feels a touch unconventional but you still crave something playful to start the day, Aldi has you covered. They’re also rolling out bite-sized sausage and pancake morsels this week. Though not a brand-new concept, pancake-coated sausages remain as exciting to eat as they’ve always been.
Appetitos Breaded Cheese Curds (5/27; $4.99)
I’d trade to see Culver’s reach Los Angeles, or any eatery that serves cheese curds, for that matter. This city is seriously lacking in crave-worthy fried cheese bites. Fortunately, there’s an Aldi nearby, and with these freezer-stable breaded cheese curds on the shelves, we can satisfy the craving with ease.
Bremer Basil-Parmesan Chicken (5/27; $4.99)
Admittedly, basil-parmesan chicken isn’t groundbreaking, but it promises to be a delicious, easy-to-fix dinner option. Add this to the lineup of meal kits you grab while shopping, and you’ll have a reliable choice for those occasions when you’d rather skip cooking from scratch.
ALDI Asian or Szechuan Stir Fry (5/27; $4.29)
“Asian stir-fry” isn’t particularly descriptive, so here are the specifics. Aldi is releasing two stir-fry varieties this week. The first consists of broccoli, carrots, baby corn, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, and red bell peppers all tossed in a savory sauce. While a more detailed description of the sauce would be welcome, this option is worth trying at least once. The Szechuan version provides a bolder profile, with a familiar blend of sweet and tangy heat and a hint of numb-spice. These could benefit from a protein addition, so be sure to pair them with something to complement them.
