11 Best Aldi Finds for August That Are a Total Steal
August sits at that weird seasonal crossroad where one foot is still in summer,and the other is in back-to-school chaos and early fall cravings. Aldi’s shelves reflect that exact vibe. This month’s best finds are practical, a little surprising, and worth a look if you’re stopping by. These are a few standouts that cover everything from dinner shortcuts to offbeat snacks.
Berryhill Maple Butter – $6.69

This spread looks like softened butter but tastes like straight maple syrup. It works on toast, cornbread, or roasted vegetables, and it’s shelf-stable. It won’t be a daily-use item for everyone, but for occasional fall flavors, it gets the job done.
Clancy’s Everything But The Bagel Kettle Chips – $1.99

These thick-cut kettle chips have gotten a savory upgrade with a coating of garlic, onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and salt—basically everything you’d find on your favorite bagel. They arrive August 13 and likely won’t stick around long. While they’re not breaking new ground, they’re a solid way to switch up your usual snack. Plus, the texture holds its own, with dips or layered into sandwiches for extra crunch.
Appetitos Green Chile Rolls – $6.99

Each box includes eight crispy egg rolls filled with chicken, green chile, and a blend of spices. They’re easy to heat up and a practical choice when cooking isn’t in the cards. Available starting August 6, they work well as a quick snack on their own or can be turned into a simple meal by adding rice, salad, or whatever’s already in the fridge.
Mama Cozzi’s Korean Bulgogi Pizza – $4.99

This frozen pizza skips tomato sauce entirely and uses a sweet-savory bulgogi glaze instead. The toppings include shredded beef, red onions, broccoli, and cremini mushrooms. It’s an odd but well-balanced combo that’s dropping on August 6.
Kirkton House Fall Tiered Tray – $12.99

Kirkton House’s three-tier tray isn’t edible, but it earns a spot for sheer versatility. Use it to organize kitchen counters, display snacks at a gathering, or stack small seasonal décor. It lands in stores on August 20 and is available in black, white square, or scalloped white styles.
Whole & Simple Honey Sesame Salmon Bowl – $4.79

This is a decent frozen lunch option that includes salmon, rice, vegetables, and a honey sesame glaze. It’s microwaveable and gluten-free. The fish isn’t going to rival a fresh filet, but for under $5, it works as a weekday fallback. Look for it on August 13 if you’re tired of bringing sandwiches to work.
Clancy’s Maple Sweet Potato Chips – $2.99

These kettle-cooked chips mix sweet potato with a light maple coating. It’s not overly sweet, not overly salty, just somewhere in between. Available starting August 20, this snack leans seasonal without going full fall cliché.
PurAqua Sparkling Water Mocktails – $3.55 (8-pack)

PurAqua is putting out three new sparkling water flavors—Mojito, Strawberry Margarita, and Piña Colada. None of them contain alcohol, sugar, or caffeine, and all three land somewhere between seltzer and tropical imitation. They’re set to arrive August 13. The timing is a bit late in the season for beachy drinks, but if you’re still reaching for something cold and fizzy, these at least offer something a little different.
Appetitos Crab Rangoon – $3.69

This freezer item isn’t new, but it’s worth noting. These crab rangoons are filled with imitation crab and cream cheese inside a crunchy shell. At under $4, they’re probably not replacing your favorite takeout version, but they’re fine in a pinch. You’ll find them starting August 6, likely next to the mozzarella sticks and samosas.
Southern Grove Snickerdoodle Almonds – $5.95

A new batch of snickerdoodle-style almonds arrives August 20, sold in 14-ounce bags. They’re coated in cinnamon and sugar, and aim to capture the flavor of the cookie without tipping into full-on sweetness. They’re still just almonds, so the texture stays firm and crunchy.
Specially Selected Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Bread – $3.99

This loaf combines sourdough texture with bits of cheddar and jalapeño throughout. It’s sturdy enough for sandwiches and flavorful enough to eat plain. Toast it, make grilled cheese, or serve it with soup—no wrong preparation here. On shelves August 20, it’s probably one of the more versatile seasonal items this month.
Mama Cozzi’s Buffalo Chicken Dip Deli Pizza – $6.99

Buffalo chicken dip usually shows up at parties, not on a pizza crust—but that’s exactly what’s happening here. This 12-inch deli pizza, available August 6, is topped with buffalo-style chicken, cheddar-ranch sauce, and melted cheese. It cooks in under 15 minutes and doesn’t require much effort.
Clancy’s Butter Twists Tub – $4.99

Pretzels don’t need to be complicated. This tub holds a generous amount of classic twists with a simple buttery coating without added flavors. They’re shelf-stable and show up August 13; so, good for filling a snack bowl when guests drop by, tossing into a mix, or just grabbing by the handful.
Journey to India Mini Naanpanadas – $4.99

Mini Naanpanadas are a mash-up of naan, empanadas, and samosas that come stuffed with either Butter Chicken or Chickpea Curry. There’s a dipping sauce included, and they’re freezer-safe. Launching August 20, they offer a decent shortcut when you want something flavorful without starting from scratch.
Ambiano Cotton Candy or Popcorn Maker – $14.99

These novelty machines aren’t industrial-level gadgets, but they’re simple enough to use at home. Each version comes in two colors and goes on sale August 27. The cotton candy maker is probably more fun for kids, while the popcorn maker is a slightly more functional purchase.
