Autumn Seasonal Items Coming To Aldi

It's Autumn, and Aldi is gearing up for the season. There are fire-pits, bird feeders, and outdoor patio heaters in the store this week, and next week will bring items for your Fall projects - leaf blowers, chainsaws, tarps, leaf bags, and generators, as well as indoor space-heaters.

They had one of the large outdoor patio heaters assembled in the store I was at yesterday, and it looked like it was reasonably well-made. Certainly not as stout and heavy-duty as the ones I've seen on restaurant patios, but at 99 bucks, I'd say it's worth a look.

They're also starting to stock items you'll need for holiday meals. My store has frozen turkeys and THREE types of ham on offer. Apple cider and canned cranberry sauce is in stock, and I've never seen so many items with PUMPKIN in them - pumpkin spiced cream cheese, pumpkin spiced coffee and coffee creamer, pumpkin pie flavored ice cream and of course, canned pumpkin. In the baking section, they've got just about everything you're going to need to do whatever holiday baking you've got planned.

I'll be doing my best to get some of these new and seasonal items reviewed in the upcoming weeks in time for you to get your Aldi shopping list in order. I can't afford to buy and try everything (HELLO - I'M TRYING TO SAVE MONEY HERE!), but I'll try to give you what information I can to help you be a Smart Aldi Shopper.

Let me know which items you like and don't like - share the wealth! And if you've been wanting to try something at Aldi,  but haven't yet for whatever reason, let me know that too - maybe someone else has a review they'd be willing to share! Just leave a comment here, or any of the blog posts, and I'll spread the word!
