The Best Aldi Finds Under $6 in October
Grab your Aldi quarter and run to the store.
The spookiest month of the year is here, and Aldi is leaning into the fall and Halloween items extra hard in October. However, there’s truly nothing spookier than Aldi adding its holiday seasonal products to shelves on Oct. 4—and introducing its seasonal decor on Oct. 23. So, if you’ve been holding off buying that pumpkin crock, you might want to make a decision soon.
Regardless of the holiday products making an appearance in the “aisle of shame,” October’s food finds are perfect for fall dinners, Halloween parties, and even early prepping for Thanksgiving. Here are the 10 products we’re most excited to see on Aldi shelves this month.
Specially Selected Fluffernutter Cookie
Available: Oct. 2
Price: $4.49
If there’s one section not to miss at Aldi, it’s the bakery aisle. Between seasonal breads and everyday dessert staples, you’re almost guaranteed to leave with a sweet treat when you shop at Aldi. This upcoming shopping trip, it’ll likely be these Fluffernutter cookies made with peanut butter, marshmallows, and peanut butter marshmallow cups.
Or, if you’re not into peanut butter, you can find the Triple Chocolate Brownie cookies, loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chunks and milk chocolate drops in a decadent chocolate batter, right next door.
Southern Grove Fall Trail Mixes
Available: Oct. 2
Price: $4.29
We’re always looking for new fall snacks to try, and Aldi’s trail mixes might just be giving the fan-loved Target ones a run for their money. There are three sweet-and-savory mixes to choose from, including Pumpkin Spice with pumpkin spice-seasoned peanuts, cinnamon cookie squares, yogurt-flavored raisins, and pepitas; Caramel Apple with caramel apple-flavored candy cups, yogurt-flavored raisins, cinnamon cookie squares, and caramel apple-seasoned almonds; and Peanut Butter Chocolate with peanut butter gems, peanut butter chocolate-coated squares, peanuts, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and mini peanut butter cups.
Specially Selected Fall Harvest Mac & Cheese
Available: Oct. 9
Price: $2.99
Spice up your mac and cheese game with this boxed Fall Harvest macaroni and cheese. It’s made with a savory Cheddar sauce that features pumpkin and butternut squash—and it’ll make the perfect main or side dish this month.
Peanut Delight Fall Peanut Butters
Available: Oct. 9
Price: $2.24
After the success of Jif’s new chocolate peanut butter, we’re ready to try all kinds of new flavored spreads—including these fall ones. Aldi is seeling both a Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Apple Crisp Peanut Butter that will take your snacking to the next level.
Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen Mushroom and Truffle Deli Pizza
Available: Oct. 9
Price: $4.99
Mama Cozzi’s take-and-bake deli pizzas seem to be getting better and better, yet staying at the same, affordable $5 price. This month, the Italian-imported pizza starts with a wood-fired crust that’s topped with garlic sauce, truffled mushrooms, sauce dollops, cheese, and grilled mushrooms. Must we say more?
Priano Primavera Risotto
Available: Oct. 9
Price: $3.99
We already love Aldi’s bagged risotto mix you can find in the pantry section, yet, somehow, the German grocer made the dish even easier. This frozen risotto is cooked with veggies in a cream sauce and ready to serve. You can choose from Primavera Risotto or Sun Veggie Risotto—or buy both and load your freezer for easy comfort food meals.
Barissimo Cold Foam
Available: Oct. 16
Price: $3.69
Barissimo’s cold foam was recently voted a fan-favorite by Aldi customers, so, of course, it’s selling seasonal varieties now. Both an autumnal Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam and wintry Peppermint Cold Foam will hit refrigerator shelves this month. One spray of the limited-edition cold foam and you’ve got the perfect at-home coffee shop drink in seconds.
Simply Nature Organic Pasta Sauce
Available: Oct. 16
Price: $2.49
With Aldi releasing multiple pasta options on Oct. 16—like the Pumpkin Sage Ravioli, Potato Gnocchi, and Paccheri Rigati—we, of course, need new sauces to try with them. Simply Nature’s organic sauce line is expanding to include Arrabiata, Mushroom, and Four Cheese pasta sauce for a limited time.
Belmont Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cheesecake
Available: Oct. 23
Price: $5.99
This fan-loved frozen cheesecake is back for another year of fall festivities. The whipped cheesecake is available in both pumpkin spice and caramel apple flavors—both with a crumbly cookie crust and whipped cream on top. Simply thaw the cheesecake, transfer it to a serving plate, and no one will ever know you didn’t make it yourself.
Season's Choice Sweet Potato Casserole

With Thanksgiving a little more than a month out, you can get a headstart on your shopping list thanks to this sweet potato casserole hitting Aldi’s freezers. The microwavable casserole features a praline topping and makes one less thing you have to worry about while you’re trying to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and prep for dinner on Turkey Day.
