ALDI Finds for the week of 5/18/22 include pretzel hamburger buns, vegan dumplings, churros, fire pits, cheap chicken, and more. Check them out below, and let me know what you want to Find this week.
Many more non-food than food Finds again in this week’s ad, but fans of ALDI’s vegan products can pick up Earth Grown plant based organic dumplings in the refrigerated section. These are available in tofu vegetable or Thai basil varieties, at $3.99 per 9 oz package.
Speaking of vegan Finds, also look for this seasonal Earth Grown vegan ravioli at your store ($3.79 per 9 oz package).
Note that both advertised and unadvertised ALDI prices can vary by store and by region. Now, let’s talk about the rest of the top ALDI Finds for the week of 5/18/22, as well as some new seasonal Finds for spring and summer 2022. You’ll also Find some on 5/15/22 in Sunday ad markets, or if your store tends to put products out early.

And of course, they’re stocking lots of Finds for your Memorial Day BBQ — Cook up the beef patties and enjoy them on these pretzel buns, maybe? (Yes, they’re more expensive than last time, but so is everything else…)
While we’re on the topic of burgers, you can also invest in a giant 48 oz box of Happy Farms American cheese singles ($7.99). This is a seasonal item, but keep reading — we’ll talk about even more fun seasonal food Finds at the end.
Then on the side: If your kids (or you) like those Taco Bell cinnamon twists, Clancy’s churros may be for you. These tend to sell out pretty quickly every time they appear, so grab yours sooner rather than later.
Chicken-ish Finds
We have a few chicken sales this week, so let’s first call out an actual decent sale on meat, given how prices have been going lately. Fresh jumbo packs of chicken drumsticks are listed at $.89/lb, so stock up! In the freezer section, also look for 36 oz bags of Tyson thin-sliced chicken breast at $6.49.
Over in the deli section, you can pick up 12 oz Park Street Deli reduced guilt chicken salad for $4.59, as well as 10 oz tomato basil or Italian Dietz & Watson Blends chicken sausage for $3.99.

And the lemon pound cake mix is definitely spring-y! See more fun spring ALDI Finds here, and then I’m listing more in each weekly Finds roundup as I run across them. What new fun foods have you found in store lately?
