ALDI Finds for the week of 12/21/22 include some German Week foods (like Bavarian soft pretzels & sweet strudels), some convenience foods (like chicken Cordon Bleu, chicken nuggets, and meatballs), and some holiday organization products (like Christmas tree bags and holiday light organizers). Check out this week’s picks below, and let me know what you want to Find!

Happy holiday week grocery shopping, everyone! Let’s get the ball rolling with everyone’s favorites, because our latest ALDI ad sports a few random German Week items. Here’s what you might Find:

Deutsche Küche Bavarian soft pretzels or pretzel sticks, $4.49
Deutsche Küche cabbage blend or warm potato salad 12 oz, $2.99
Specially Selected German mousse cake, $7.99
Deutsche Küche imported strudel (apple, caramel apple, or fruits of the forest), $2.99

Deutsche Küche German bread, $2.49
L’Oven Fresh pretzel breadsticks, $3.49

Just a few of these to choose from, but this is a nice little holiday week surprise if you’re a fan of their authentic German foods.

All the kids here really enjoy the frozen soft pretzels, so we might be picking up a box of those to enjoy during winter break.

And these German breads are nicely dense and chewy, for those of you looking for an authentic experience.

As always, both advertised and unadvertised ALDI prices can vary by store and by region. Here are more of the top ALDI Finds for the week of 12/21/22. (You may also Find some on 12/18/22 in Sunday ad markets, or if your store tends to put products out early.)

Top ALDI Finds this week

Stonemill value size spices are out in stores this week, where you have your choice of 6-8 oz containers of ground black pepper, onion powder, or garlic powder at $3.49. Then, here are twenty more advertised food Finds and thirty new non-Food Finds to look for. Let me know what you’re planning to pick up during this week of 12/21/22.

(There are also some more name-brand single serve snacks to look at, but the prices on those aren’t super.)

If your kids like veggie straws in their lunches, here are the convenience packs again…

And these big bags of meatballs get generally positive reviews!

Stock up on a big box of blueberry waffles for busy mornings, maybe. (Their regular waffles are fine, and much more affordable than name-brand.)

I keep eyeing this dumplings every time they show up, but haven’t tried them yet. Don’t they look good?!

I also have one of the step stools from an earlier sale; the design looks like it’s changed a bit, though. (These hold up to 200 lbs, and are handy in the kitchen etc.)

Our main non-food themes this week are apparently organization and coziness; plan ahead to get your holiday items stored away nicely in the new year.

The Premium planners in stores this week are available in blue, green, purple, or cream, and $6.99 gets you an undated 6″x8.5″ 12-month planner sporting a faux leather cover and loop closure. Above is last year’s photo, but this year’s edition is similar in design.

Given the winter weather this week, the auto safety kit seems like it might be a good idea!
