If you know me, you know I love a good trip to Aldi. And if you’ve ever walked into Aldi for just a few groceries…you probably ended up walking out with a candle, holiday decorations, and something you didn’t even know you needed. 😂 Just last week I met two of my girlfriends there & we had the best time perusing the aisles!

Between feeding seven people, keeping up with busy schedules and trying to save even just a little bit of money…Aldi has become one of my favorite places to shop.

Of course I love the prices, but it’s the seasonal finds, household staples, and cute decor pieces that keep me coming back.

So I thought I’d round up some of my favorite Aldi finds! A list of things we enjoy and some things we always end up rebuying. Nothing fancy… just the good stuff worth sharing!

Easy Meals & Family Favorites

Mama Cozzi’s Take & Bake Pizza– an easy dinner go-to!! I usually buy one plain & grab a bag of pepperoni to put on half for the kids. The Supreme is delish too!!

Kirkwood Red Bag Chicken– I always make this in the air fryer! I use this for salads, copy-cat Chic-fil-a sandwiches, and easy chicken parm.

Specially Selected Asiago Cheese Bagels– homemade pizza bagels in the air fryer! I make these almost weekly after school as a before-baseball snack.

Never Any! Chicken Sausage– I make this one-pot meal with sausage, orzo & zucchini. It’s so good! I’ll have to share that recipe if you want it!

Chicken Salad Cups– these are Matt’s favorite! His go-to quick snack or lunch during busy work days.

Cheese, Dips & Charcuterie

Champagne Cheddar Cheese– okay…. this stuff is AMAZING. It’s so good on its own or I like to put it on sourdough & broil it for a minute when I make my favorite breakfast.

Charcuterie Favorites– there is literally no shortage of cheese and meats in their deli section. They truly have some of the best to pick from and you can make an extremely decadent charcuterie board for such a good price. From meats to cheeses, crackers, olives, pickles…. they have it all!

Something Sweet

Choceur Sea Salt Caramels– these are to die for. It’s truly hard to have just one.

Cannoli Dip– this is Peyton’s favorite sweet treat! He likes to eat it with vanilla wafers. So good!

Specially Selected Sea Salt Caramel & Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough– another one of the kids’ favorites!! Whenever I see their cookie dough, I usually buy one or two to keep in the fridge for an easy dessert.

Cinnamon Rolls– the kids love these for breakfast. They’re huge & taste so fresh!

Seasonal Decorated Cookies– I saw these and thought they were so cute! These are just like the ones you pay $5 for at local coffee shops, except you’re getting a whole container of them for that price!

Seasonal Finds & Little Traditions

Halloween Gingerbread Houses– I could literally go on and on about these. I’ve been buying them for years!! We make a whole night of it– building our gingerbread houses, listening to halloween music, Hocus Pocus playing & a fun Halloween-themed dinner! It’s so fun for the kids, but I think I look forward to it more than they do! I love making these little memories together. Also, a good trick is to hot glue the houses before decorating!! We don’t eat them anyway, so this at least makes decorating easier for the kids!

Reggano Halloween Pasta– this is usually part of the Halloween themed dinner to go with our ginger bread houses! Last year I made a chicken noodle soup with it!

Huntington Home Seasonal Candles- these smell absolutely amazing and they have such cozy scents! I almost never leave without grabbing at least one!

Holiday Decorations– they truly have been going above & beyond in this section! Right now there’s metal light-up pumpkins that look almost identical to the Pottery Barn ones!! They’ve also started putting out some of the Christmas decor! They have glass gingerbread houses that are absolutely adorable. I’m excited to see what else they put out over the next few weeks!

And that’s a little peek into some of my favorite Aldi finds! Sure, the prices are great, but it’s also the little things. Finding something new for dinner, grabbing a candle to make the house cozier, or picking up something fun to do with the kids.

Sometimes it’s those simple, everyday things that end up making the best memories. ❤️

If you have any Aldi favorites I need to try, let me know! I’m always looking for an excuse to go back!
