Top ALDI Finds of the week

Fans of egglife wraps can look for southwest style wraps this week, now at $4.75 a pack.

And low carb folks should also check out these Tuscan Garden plantain croutons, $1.89 per 5 oz package. In addition to these lower carb Finds, let’s now talk about thirteen more top food Finds (plus a few desserts), as well as thirty-five more non-Food Finds (plus kitchen items), all for the week of 6/29/22.

1. Specially Selected everything brioche buns, $2.99
2. 16 oz Fremont Fish Market colossal easy peel raw shrimp, $9.99
3. Half Baked Lake Monster pizza, $7.99

Man, that Olive Garden dressing is good — but it keeps getting more expensive every time it reappears.

Speaking of good yet expensive, how about this Cretor’s cheese & caramel popcorn mix? (Be sure to shake up the bag, because the heavier caramel pieces tend to settle to the bottom.)

The everything brioche buns are delicious, and might make a nice change for your 4th of July burgers or sandwiches.

As for the bagel chips? Those are just crunchy yummy tasty..

Decadent desserts

ALDI is also stocking a few different dessert options for your 4th of July celebration this week, including:

The gelato looks like a dupe for the layered Talenti ones, and, people do rave about those Village Pie Maker pies.

New regular buys?

Let’s mention a couple of items that seem to be new regular buys, because both will be useful! First up: Pizza dough had disappeared from my ALDI stores forever, but is now back in the refrigerated section for $1.39.

And, the Dakota’s Pride lentils and green split peas that have been an irregular special buy are now stocked on the regular shelves at $1.29 per 16 oz bag. These are over by the tortillas at my stores.

Find some great lentil recipes from me and other ALDI shoppers in our ALDI fan Facebook group, here!

The lumbar support cushion is pretty good, if you’re in need of one.

Kitchen items this week
