Aldi’s August Finds Are Stacked — And Fall Flavors Start Arriving This Month

Aldi’s August Finds Are Stacked — And Fall Flavors Start Arriving This Month

Healthy Fact of the Day

Aldi’s August lineup has a few genuinely nutritious standouts worth prioritizing. The Simply Nature Organic Chicken Sausage is a clean-ingredient protein with no artificial additives — a strong choice for late-summer grilling. The Shrimp Wonton Soup is one of the better-value seafood options in any freezer aisle, with shrimp delivering lean protein and bok choy adding calcium and vitamin C. And the Clancy’s Apple Chips arriving August 26 at $1.99 are a whole-food snack with no added sugar — a genuinely clean alternative to potato chips for fall snacking. When the pumpkin and maple wave hits August 19, enjoying those as occasional treats rather than daily staples keeps the seasonal indulgence balanced.

August at Aldi is doing a lot. Wonton month is still going strong, a fresh wave of items just hit shelves Tuesday, and by the end of the month, pumpkin spice, maple, and apple cider are arriving whether summer is ready or not.

Here’s the full August Aldi Finds calendar — what’s already in stores, what’s coming in the next two weeks, and what to put on your radar for the fall wave at the end of the month.

On Shelves Now

The current lineup leans savory and snack-forward — a strong mix for late summer grilling and easy weeknight meals.

Beef Birria Bites ($5.99) — One of the more buzz-worthy items of the current wave. Birria has been one of the most-requested flavors in grocery store frozen food for the past two years, and Aldi’s take at $5.99 is the accessible entry point.

Fusia Beef or Chicken Mandu Dumplings ($6.79) — Korean-style dumplings in two proteins. Mandu is having a mainstream moment right now, and Aldi’s Fusia Asian Inspirations line has a strong track record with dumpling-adjacent products.

Fusia Steamed Chicken or Pork Dumplings ($2.95) — The value-tier dumpling option, also part of Aldi’s wonton month momentum.

Appetitos Crab Rangoon or Cream Cheese Wontons ($2.99) — Already on shelves and getting strong early reviews. Air fryer-friendly for maximum crispiness.

Specially Selected Tandoori-Style Original Naan Bites ($3.69) — A versatile party appetizer that works as a snack, a shareable, or a side. The tandoori seasoning gives them more depth than a standard naan.

Mama Cozzi’s Roasted Vegetable or Buffalo Cauliflower Pizza ($5.99) — Two new flatbread varieties that lean into the elevated frozen pizza territory Aldi has been building out all summer.

Bake Shop PB&J Filled Crepes ($3.69) — Sweet crepes with PB&J filling, ready to heat and eat. A strong breakfast or snack option.

Sundae Shoppe Peach or Tangerine Fruit Bars ($3.79) and Red Cherry or Blue Raspberry Freeze Tubes ($2.99) — Last-of-summer frozen treat options at Aldi pricing.

Just Hit Shelves: August 12 Drops

Aldi Shrimp Wonton Soup ($2.99) — Shrimp-stuffed wontons with bok choy and noodles in a savory broth. The headliner of wonton month and genuinely impressive at $2.99.

Specially Selected Everything Brioche Bun ($3.29) — An everything bagel-seasoned brioche bun that works beautifully as a sandwich vehicle or on its own.

Specially Selected Lemon Meringue Tartlets ($5.49) — A refrigerated dessert that delivers bakery-style presentation with minimal effort.

Mama Cozzi’s Jalapeño Popper or Spinach & Artichoke Pizza ($4.99) — Two new pizza varieties with bold topping combinations worth trying.

Simply Nature Organic Chicken Sausage: Green Chile or BBQ ($4.99) — Clean-ingredient chicken sausage in two flavorful varieties. A strong protein for late-summer grilling.

Clancy’s Roasted Sweet Corn Popcorn ($2.99) — A seasonal snack that bridges summer and fall.

Coming August 19: The Fall Flavor Wave Begins

This is where Aldi’s August lineup gets genuinely exciting — the fall flavors arrive a full month before most grocery stores make the seasonal switch.

Clancy’s Drizzled Kettle Corn: Maple or Pumpkin Spice ($2.29) — Two of fall’s most beloved flavors applied to kettle corn at under $2.50. The pumpkin spice version in particular is already generating pre-drop buzz.

Bake Shop Coffee Cake Bites: Pumpkin or Apple Cider ($4.49) — Individually portioned coffee cake bites in two seasonal flavors. Perfect for fall morning snacking.

Berry Hill Maple Syrup: Cinnamon Roll, Bourbon Barrel, or Pumpkin Spice ($5.49) — Three flavored maple syrups that make ordinary pancakes feel significantly more festive.

Clancy’s Maple Sweet Potato Chips ($2.99) — Sweet potato chips with a maple glaze. One of the more creative snack concepts in the August lineup.

Breakfast Best Pumpkin Spice Waffles ($2.19) — Frozen pumpkin spice waffles at a price that makes stocking up an easy decision.

Moser Roth Truffles: Café or Fall Favorite ($4.99) — Premium chocolate truffles in seasonal flavors. Moser Roth is Aldi’s highest-end chocolate brand, and these are worth grabbing.

Aldi Chocolate Covered Berries ($6.99) — Fresh berries dipped in chocolate, available in the refrigerated section. A simple but premium-feeling entertaining item.

Coming August 26: The Full Fall Drop

Sundae Shoppe Gelato: Pumpkin Praline Pie, Apple Pie, or Cinnamon Coffee Cake ($3.79) — Three fall-flavored gelato pints at under $4 each. The Pumpkin Praline Pie is the one to watch first.

Specially Selected Blossoms: Pumpkin Cream Cheese or Apple Cranberry ($3.49) — Pastry blossoms in two seasonal flavors for a quick dessert or brunch treat.

Breakfast Best Stuffed Waffles: Apple Cinnamon or Blueberry ($4.99) — Returning from earlier this year in new seasonal flavors.

Clancy’s Buffalo Wing Style Kettle Potato Chips ($1.99) — A savory counterbalance to all the fall sweetness arriving the same week.

Clancy’s Apple Chips ($1.99) — Dried apple chips at the kind of price that makes them an easy pantry staple through the fall.

The Bottom Line

Aldi’s August Finds span four waves through the end of the month, with something worth grabbing in every drop. The Birria Bites and Shrimp Wonton Soup are the savory highlights right now. The August 19 wave is when fall officially arrives — Pumpkin Spice Kettle Corn at $2.29 and Pumpkin Spice Waffles at $2.19 are the ones to put on your calendar. As always: once they’re gone, they’re gone.
