ALDI Finds for the week of 1/18/23 include the makings of a cute little coffee bar, even more Valentine’s Day treats, a nicely-priced kettle bell set, and more. Check out this week’s picks below, and let me know what you want to Find!
This week’s ALDI ad contains some fun Finds for your coffee bar, yay. Let’s start with these Crofton ceramic coffee canisters, which have returned in this week’s ad at $6.99 apiece. (You can see that ours from last year has kind of been well-used…). Also look for:
- Crofton insulated carafe, $14.99
- Ambiano electric glass kettle, $18.99
- Crofton coffee or espresso mugs, $6.99
- Crofton glass French press, $12.99
- Ambiano handheld frother or frothing pitcher, $7.99
- Ambiano programmable coffee maker, $39.99
- Crofton glass coffee & sugar canister set, $9.99
- Huntington Home reversible shadow box sign, $4.99 (includes both coffee and wine options)
- Barissimo caramel macchiato or creme brulee ground coffee 12 oz, $4.69
- SOHL furniture ivory accent cabinet, $89.99
We put together our own little DIY coffee bar last spring, and I still love it. The French press and coffee candle that you can see on my coffee bar pix are also from ALDI, but the French press in this week’s ad is a slightly different style.
Ooh, update — coffee candles are back this week too, but unadvertised! $7.99 apiece, but they smell SO good.
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 1/18/23. (You may also Find some on 1/15/23 in Sunday ad markets, or if your store tends to put products out early — I, for one, so appreciate when they do that!)
Top ALDI Finds this week
Beyond the coffee bar fixings mentioned above, here are seventeen more advertised food Finds this week, thirty new non-Food Finds, and a few new unadvertised and/or seasonal Finds to look for.
Seventeen new ALDI food Finds
Yes, a few more Valentine’s Day treats in this week’s ad — plus a bit of randomness:
- 4 ct Elevation ready-to-drink protein shakes (caffe latte or caramel), $6.09
- Benton’s shortbread hearts in cherry or strawberry, $2.49
- Specially Selected 28.2 oz Compliments assorted cookies, $10.99
- Pillsbury Valentine’s Day cookie dough, $3.49
- Hostess crispy minis, $3.49
- Hostess Valentine’s Ding Dongs, $3.48
- Danimals Valentine’s Day smoothies, $3.32
- Chocolate strawberry Cheerios, $3.49
- Priano chicken & cheese ravioli 25 oz, $4.49
- Season’s Choice harvest grain bowls (Southwest or Italian), $2.99
- Season’s Choice Mediterranean or kale frozen quinoa 12 oz, $2.99
- Breakfast Best double chocolate Belgian waffles, $3.29
- Belmont chocolate covered pie bites, $4.99
- Pictsweet sweet potato fries with sea salt 20 oz, $3.99
- Casa Mamita family size chicken & cheese enchiladas 57 oz, $14.79
- Fresh seasoned boneless pork loin roast, $2.99/lb
- Thomas Farms fresh lamb shoulder chops, $7.49/lb
It’s not a super exciting sneaky-peek ad in terms of food for actually cooking dinners (and too many expensive name brands for my liking) — but, we make do with what we have.
At $6.09 for four, the protein shakes work out to $1.52 each. (This is better than the comparable Premier Protein product price, at least!)
If you like sweet Finds for Valentine’s Day, though, you’re in luck — I mean: Double chocolate Belgian waffles and heart-shaped shortbread cookies?
Speaking of sweet Finds: Do you need a large box of cookies for entertaining? Here you go: This one is over 28 oz, for your enjoyment.
And speaking of sweet, look at these little boxes of pie bites! I guess this is a thing? These are chocolate covered bites with a graham crust and pie-ish filling — and, at $4.99 for just 6 oz (10 bites), I didn’t pick one up.
But, if you’re looking for easy pre-made vegetarian lunch bowls, these new meat-free harvest grain varieties might be an option for you.

Yes, we’re still doing exercise products for January…
And if you need a pop of spring this winter? Well, check out these hyacinths! They should start blooming soon.
As part of exercise January: Kettle bell sets are back again this week, and $29.99 is a decent price for a 30 lb set.
It’s too bad the weight bench doesn’t have the adjustable foot things, too, which would make it a better bargain for the price.
Speaking of being back, you know how things often reappear at ALDI? Well, serendipitously enough, I’m actually wearing a pair of their “ultra soft socks” from about three years ago. They’re not so soft anymore, though: Honestly, the softness only lasted a couple of washings. The socks themselves, however, have held up just fine.
Speaking of cozy: Lounge dress, or blanket hoodie? However you describe this one, I think it’s close to the same price of comparable products I’ve seen at Costco.
Non-advertised and seasonal Finds
Let’s just talk about these cheese wraps for a minute, because a while ago, ALDI carried name-brand Crystal Farms cheese wraps. I even reviewed them here back in 2020, and then again in 2021! They’ve also carried the more expensive Folios cheese wraps from time to time — but, it looks like ALDI has now introduced their own Park Street Deli cheese wraps to compete with both.
ALDI’s Park Street Deli cheese wraps are available in Parmesan or cheddar, at $4.29 per 4 ct pack. (I’m not sure how these compare quality wise, but note that the Crystal Farms wraps are currently cheaper over at Walmart.)
- Psst — you can also make your own copycat Folios cheese wraps from sliced cheese…
Park Street Deli cheese wraps are, however, cheaper than Folios low carb cheese wraps; I think that’s who they’re actually trying to target here.
Other non-advertised, returning, new, or seasonal products I’ve spotted in store recently include:
- Reggano Valentine’s Day pasta, $2.69
- Wildberry ‘n cream Dippin’ Dots, $4.99
- Texas Tamale Co. pork tamales, $8.48
Be sure to cook their shaped pasta quite al dente; it tends to fall apart otherwise.
What’s Up with ALDI Finds
What’s up with ALDI Finds? These are limited time special buy items, and are available in stores only while supplies last. If you spot something you like, be sure to pick it up while you can. See also: What is the ALDI Aisle of Shame?
Be sure to visit the ALDI Finds product delays page before popping over to the store for new Finds. Because of ongoing shipping delays and materials shortages affecting ALDI (and everyone else…), some of their advertised products may not be available in all locations.
