Hummus Among Us
So, it appears that my store, at least, has temporarily stopped stocking the regular hummus varieties (I think to make room for holiday cheeses). I’m not sure that this week’s dill pickle hummus makes up for that, but what can you do…?
You can also look for various fall dessert hummus flavors, such as pumpkin pie and sea salt caramel. These are a seasonal buy, at $2.49 per 8 oz container.

What German Week Finds are you planning to pick up this time?
Me, I always like to grab a new jar of whole grain mustard — it’s great both on sandwiches and in recipes.
Hey la, hey la, pierogies back
Next up in our romp through this week’s find, how can you not like pierogies? Some ALDI stores apparently carry refrigerated ones year-round: Mine, however, does not. So I’m always happy to see Bremer frozen pierogies back in stock, at $1.99 per 16 oz box. Choose from spinach white cheddar or roasted garlic at this price.
For a delicious different dinner option, try using yours in this sheet pan sausage, peppers, & pierogies recipe.
Seasonal Finds
We’re at the point where it’s fun to poke around for new seasonal Finds on every ALDI trip! While wandering through the cheese section today, I spotted a set of Emporium Selection artisan flavored cheeses (perfect for any charcuterie board) at $3.49 apiece, as well as 8 oz BelGioioso marscapone for $2.89.
In stores that sell alcohol, you can also look for seasonal Connelly’s Apple Pie Country Cream, $8.99 per 750 ml bottle. You might also spot Pacific Fruit Vineyards sweet apple and sweet peach wines, $3.99 a bottle.
Look by the soups for this seasonal Specially Selected coconut carrot or tomato Parmesan Bisque, $3.49 for a 24 oz jar.
Lastly: The really nice ALDI pumpkins are back. These are a great large size for $3.99 (may vary by region) — but will likely go on sale even cheaper sometime in the next few weeks before Halloween.
What’s Up with ALDI Finds?
What’s up with ALDI Finds? Well, these are limited time special buy items that are available in stores only while supplies last. So if you spot something you like, be sure to pick it up while you can.
