From fitness to organization, ALDI Finds week of 12/29/21

ALDI Finds for the week of 12/29/21 include whey protein powder, Christmas storage, cheap ground turkey, organic coconut oil, and so much more!

Happy New Year! Every January you’ll see a slew of health & wellness products at ALDI (OK, and everywhere else). So, that’s the theme for this week’s Finds: We’ll talk about some new health & wellness items before moving into some more general Finds of the week here.

2022 New Year’s Wellness Finds at ALDI

Whether you’re following a low calorie diet, a high fiber diet, a low carb keto friendly diet, or a high protein diet, ALDI has a New Year’s food Find for you! Fit & Active fans should be especially pleased by the return of these 100 calorie pretzel packs, since we don’t see a lot of Fit & Active products in store anymore.

Top ALDI Finds of the week

In no particular order, here are 12 more of my top ALDI food Finds, plus 15 top non-food Finds, all for the week of 12/29/21. Then, let’s talk about some new organic foods in this week’s ad (and randomly out in stores)!

Given the way that meat prices have been going up lately, $6.99 is a great price for 3 lbs of ground turkey. (A good time to stock your freezer, that’s for sure.)

You can easily get three weeknight dinners out of 3 pounds of ground turkey, too. Just a few ideas for recipes that each use only one pound of ground turkey include:

Mix, match, and enjoy.
