All The Fall Items Available At Aldi Right Now

While some of us are busy soaking up the last days of summer, pumpkin spice season is already in full swing. Fall cereals and cold foams have hit the shelves at Target, spiced lattes are making their way back onto menus, and even Halloween decorations are available now at party supplies stores. This week, a batch of new seasonal items is slated to enter discount grocery chain Aldi. Here’s a roundup of all the fall items available at Aldi for your next shopping run.

What’s included in the lineup?

In true autumnal spirit, Aldi is rolling out Barissimo Ground Coffee in two different varieties. Caffeine lovers can choose between maple pecan pie and pumpkin spice flavors. A box of 12 pods costs $4.29, while a 12-ounce bag of loose coffee is $4.19, making the choice more affordable than a typical drive-through pumpkin spice latte.

Aldi will also bring back its Benton’s Fall Mug Toppers for $2.99, which are cookies with small slits that can attach to the side of a cup. The sugar-sprinkled toppers are shaped like pumpkins and leaves, making for a picture-perfect, festive treat. If that’s not your vibe, Aldi will also feature Benton’s Pumpkin Spice Mini Biscotti at $3.99 for a seven-ounce tub. In addition, the retailer will release Benton’s Crème Filled Wafer Rolls in pumpkin spice and salted caramel flavors for $1.99.

Maple butter will also be available at Aldi, alongside apple spread in pumpkin maple and salted caramel varieties. Both can be used to elevate plain toast and pancakes. For another breakfast option, Chobani yogurt will be sold in a cinnamon French toast flavor for $1.38. And while corn mazes may not open for a couple more weeks, you can find Clancy’s Maple Drizzled Kettle Corn and Pumpkin Spice Drizzled Kettle Corn for $2.19. 

Fans of yogurt-covered snacks should also look out for Clancy’s Cinnamon Apple Pretzels and Pumpkin Spice Pretzels, which will be sold for $2.99 per bag. For a savory option, try the Specially Selected Pasta Sauce, which will come in pumpkin and butternut squash or pumpkin chipotle flavors. I’ll be adding Choceur Belgian chocolates to the top of my shopping list, which will come in mini pumpkin and apple shapes for just $3.99. 

When can I find these items?

You can find all these items at Aldi beginning Wednesday, August 21, although some stores will get the goods even earlier. In addition to food, Aldi will feature fall-themed home decor including ceramic pumpkins, glass vases, novelty sponges, scented candles, harvest-themed mats, and gnomes. With such affordable prices, Aldi’s fall lineup might even rival Trader Joe’s this season.
