(Please note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.)
1. Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos
Price: $5.65
Love taquitos? These are a lifesaver on those nights when cooking feels like an Olympic sport.
Packed with white meat chicken, pinto beans, and Monterey Jack cheese, they’re ready in minutes. They’re great on their own, but if you’ve got some salsa, guacamole, or sour cream handy, they become an instant fiesta.
Plus, you’ll save almost 50 cents a box compared to a similar offering at Walmart.
2. Specially Selected Wagyu Ground Beef
Price: $4.99
Burgers, chili, pasta, meatballs, sloppy joes – what’s your ground beef go-to? Wagyu is known for its incredible marbling and flavor, and Aldi brings it to you at about half the price you’d pay per pound elsewhere. Stock up and keep a few packages on hand to elevate your everyday meals into something truly special.
3. Appetitos Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos
Price: $3.55
Game day on the horizon? Unexpected guests showing up?
These cream cheese-stuffed jalapenos bake up perfectly crispy with just the right amount of kick. It’s like getting restaurant-quality appetizers without the delivery fee.
Serve them with ranch or sour cream and watch them vanish! You’re getting 11 ounces for less than half the price of T.G.I.
Friday’s 8-ounce version at Walgreens.
4. Fremont Fish Market Tempura Shrimp
Price: $7.69
If shrimp is your jam, you’ll likely fall for these tempura delights. They get wonderfully golden and crunchy right in your oven. Serve them as an appetizer with the included soy dipping sauce, enjoy them as a protein-packed snack, or add a delightful crunch to another dish.
5. Bremer Salisbury Steak
Price: $3.95
Remember those classic flame-broiled Salisbury steaks with gravy from your childhood? This nostalgic TV dinner favorite is a hit for many Americans, and Aldi offers it at a fantastic price.
You’ll save nearly $6 compared to the same-sized Stouffer’s package at Walmart. Keep it on hand for an easy, comforting meal with mashed potatoes and green beans whenever the craving strikes.
6. Mama Cozzi’s Garlic Breadsticks
Price: $2.45
Pasta is great, but is it really a meal without warm, garlicky breadsticks? If you’re tempted by takeout just for those fresh-baked sides, these will save you big. Not only are they cheaper than Walmart’s options, but you can bake one, two, or all six whenever you need them.
7. Specially Selected Boardwalk Style Handmade Crab Cakes
Price: $6.39
What do crab cakes evoke for you? Summers by the sea?
Your favorite seafood spot? Aldi offers a couple of varieties at about 30% less than you’d shell out at Target.
They come two to a package, so grab a few boxes and keep them ready for a taste of the coast.
8. Belmont Deep Dish Pie Crust
Price: $2.75
Sometimes, the easy way is truly the best way. While you could make your own pie crust for desserts, quiche, or chicken pot pie, these are ready to go when you are.
They’re deep dish and come in reusable aluminum pans – no need to worry about returning them! Marie Callender’s frozen pie crusts at Walmart cost $3.62 for the same two-count package.
9. Fremont Fish Market Jumbo Coconut Breaded Butterfly Shrimp
Price: $3.85
For a taste of the tropics, these butterfly shrimp are coated in crispy coconut breading and even include an orange marmalade dipping sauce. Skip the deep fryer and pop these into the oven for a perfectly crisp finish.
They’re a fun appetizer to share or a quick dinner with rice and veggies. You’ll save about 40% compared to a similar amount of coconut shrimp from Walmart.
10. Appetitos Original Soft Pretzels
Price: $2.75
Bring the ballpark or local fair home with these soft pretzels. They heat up in minutes, delivering that satisfying chew you remember.
You control the salt, and they’re perfect with mustard or your favorite cheese dip. A fun treat for game day or a warm afternoon snack, and they’re 71 cents cheaper than the SUPERPRETZEL brand at Walmart.
11. Mama Cozzi’s Cheese Stuffed Crust Three Meat Pizza
Price: $7.59
Pizza night is a family favorite, but delivery prices? Not so much.
This loaded pizza features Italian sausage, pepperoni, and beef on a cheese-stuffed crust. It’s a hearty, satisfying meal straight from your freezer, whether it’s dinner for the family or an easy, tasty option to share.
At 34.5 ounces, it’s 10 ounces bigger than DiGiorno at Target for $1.20 less.
12. Specially Selected Mahi Mahi Fillets
Price: $7.95
Having quality seafood in your freezer means you can whip up a healthy, protein-rich dinner whenever you’re ready. These wild-caught fillets are individually wrapped, so you can thaw and cook one or two at a time.
Walmart charges $9.87 for the same amount of mahi mahi. Grill them for fish tacos, pan-sear them for dinner, or bake them with lemon for a delicious treat.
13. Bremer Italian Meatballs
Price: $8.15
You could make your own meatballs, or you could keep these in your freezer for whenever the mood strikes. Meatballs are incredibly versatile – perfect for spaghetti night, Swedish meatballs, sub sandwiches, or even soup.
They’re a fantastic fall food, adding easy, tasty protein to a variety of meals. Plus, these are free of artificial colors and flavors and cost about $5 less than a similar-sized package from Publix.
14. Specially Selected Mussels in Garlic Butter Sauce
Price: $3.29
Ever attempted cooking fresh mussels? It’s a delicate dance of timing and temperature.
Here, you get a bistro-style dish, already simmered in a rich garlic butter sauce, offering a delightful salty, sweet, and savory combination perfect for cooler weather. Just heat and serve with some crusty bread or a squeeze of lemon, all for about half the cost of a similar dish from Publix.
15. Fusia Asian Inspirations Pork Pot Stickers
Price: $4.29
Craving dumplings but don’t want to spring for Chinese takeout? These warm, tender, and flavorful pork pot stickers are perfect for a quick fall evening meal.
Steam them gently or pan-fry for a crispy bottom. A sauce packet is included, and you’ll save over $3 compared to P.F.
Chang’s frozen pork dumplings at Target.
16. Bremer Potato & Cheddar Pierogies
Price: $2.55
Fall calls for hearty, warming food, and potato and cheddar pierogies fit the bill as a side dish or main course. Pan-fry them in butter until golden and crispy, or boil them and top with sour cream and onions.
They’re great on their own or alongside meat or vegetables. Aldi’s version costs nearly $4 less than Publix’s similar offering.
17. Season’s Choice Steak Cut French Fries
Price: $3.19
Aldi’s steak fries are a fantastic way to save a dollar compared to Ore-Ida’s, letting you enjoy thick-cut, crispy fries with your favorite meals – burgers, fish, or even a classic steak dinner. Whether you’re baking them in the oven or crisping them in an air fryer, these satisfy that craving for something warm and comforting.
The Bottom Line
As fall truly settles in and the days grow shorter, it’s easy to succumb to the allure of delivery when you’re tired and the kitchen feels miles away. But a well-stocked freezer completely changes that game.
Shopping at Aldi not only helps you fill your freezer on a budget but also offers additional savings. A popular Aldi hack?
Swap a few of your usual name brands for Aldi’s private labels. If it passes your taste test, make the switch for good and watch those savings stack up week after week!
