So many more holiday foods in this week’s ALDI ad, you guys! As always, some of the holiday foods might disappear after this week, while some might be around for a bit… so stock up when you see them. For starters, how about Mama Cozzi’s holiday tree or star pizza, $4.99 each?
Also in the frozen section: You’ll find gluten free liveGfree donuts at $4.49 a box, in cranberry, gingerbread, or pumpkin flavors.
Let’s not forget the holiday baking items in this week’s ad, either. Available in peanut butter or caramel, 10 oz bags of Specially Selected filled baking cups are $2.49 each.
Or check out these Baker’s Corner Christmas jumbo cookie kits, $4.99 each. Other holiday baking Finds in this week’s ad include:

The shaped brioche is awful cute… they had the trees and stars last year, and you’ll usually find those up by the registers.

Some locations will also carry a Sparkling Wine Countdown to the New Year, containing seven 187 ml bottles. (See price in stores on this one.) Lastly, a Starbucks cocoa gift mug runs $7.99.
Note that both advertised and unadvertised ALDI prices can vary by store and by region.

As for some of the other finds… I wish that Olive Garden dressing would drop back down in price; it’s so good! It’s also great in recipes, so if you invest in a bottle this week, you might try one of these:
- Olive Garden dressing sheet pan chicken dinner
- Smothered skillet pork chops
- Cracker-y, crumble-y, Parmesan-y pork chops
You can also make any of the above with ALDI’s Tuscan Garden restaurant style Italian dressing, if you prefer.
The frozen creamed spinach or baby Brussels with butter look like some quick & easy veggie sides (maybe with one of the Olive Garden dressing main dishes above?). Holiday or weeknight dinner, your choice!
