7 Holiday Finds Coming to Aldi in November

The holiday season can be tough on your grocery and hosting budget—after all, those Thanksgiving turkey dinners, Yuletide roasts and get-togethers with friends and family always need their funding. That means November and December are an especially good time to scope out all the deals on fun treats, helpful housewares and whatever else you’ll need to make the season run smoothly.

Aldi’s fresh set of monthly finds can help you find some foodie savings—and their deals on Thanksgiving groceries and holiday charcuterie accessories may also come in handy. This month, the retailer is bringing out a dupe of a popular sauté pan, some festive desserts and savory cheese, so get your grocery-list pen ready. Here are seven holiday finds coming to the grocer this month.

1. Crofton Awesome Pan

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Aldi’s dupe of the Always Pan show up. Fittingly enough, this look-alike nonstick pan with a pretty matte finish will be available in black, orange and a mossy green, all great fall colors that will make your kitchen feel cozy. The Awesome Pan will be available November 1 for $24.99, and if you manage to swing by Aldi at the end of October, you could look for the matching Awesome Pot, available for $34.99.

2. Crofton Cast-Iron Oval Roaster

Right in time for Thanksgiving, Aldi is launching a shallow cast-iron roasting pan that reminds us of similar items from Le Creuset. This budget-friendly option costs just $19.99, and the pretty enamel coating makes it a fun oven-to-table piece you can use on Turkey Day. Load it up with roasted Brussels sprouts or carrots for simple and elegant service. Grab a roaster beginning November 1.

3. Crofton Bamboo Carving Board

Here’s another great option to fill out your kitchen for the holiday season. If you’re planning to have a bird at Thanksgiving or a roast at the winter holidays, a generous cutting board with a well to catch cooking liquid or juice is a must-have. For just $9.99, this board is a great option—pick one up when they arrive in stores on November 1.

 4. Winternacht Almond Spekulatius

This box of spiced cookies is just one of the sweets Aldi is bringing to stores for a little Yuletide fun. The Winternacht brand, like the Deutsche Küche brand Aldi carries during German week, contains plenty of sweet treats, all of which are made in Germany. These almond cookies include two per serving, so you can enjoy them as a sweet treat alongside a cup of coffee or tea. Grab a package for $2.99 beginning November 2.

5. Winternacht Erdnussberge

These peanut clusters come in a festive red bag that would make them a great stocking stuffer or addition to a host gift. Made with fair-trade cocoa, these German chocolate clusters will be available with milk or dark chocolate beginning November 2, so you can choose according to your taste—or the taste of your giftee. Try a bag for $3.49 and use them as an occasional treat, a sweet ingredient in a trail mix or even a fun movie snack.

6. Winternacht Soft Gingerbread

Nothing will make your days feel quite so merry and bright as a classic Yule treat like gingerbread. These soft gingerbreads are iced or chocolate-covered—there are three of each in each box—and they’d go exceptionally well with a hot cup of coffee on a cold afternoon. Pick up a package for $2.99 starting November 2 and save them for a snack while you decorate the tree or use them to get the holiday party started before December even starts.

7. Specially Selected Parmigiano Reggiano Assortment

Whether it’s for a big, saucy lasagna to feed the whole family, a quick pizza or just an extra burst of cheesy flavor in your favorite dish, Parmesan is always here to help. We love using the hard, nutty cheese in recipes like our Eggplant Parmesan and Basic Risotto. Starting November 2, Aldi will carry classic Italian-imported Parmigiano Reggiano, available grated, shaved or in a chunk you can grate at home. Each portion is about 5 ounces and costs $5.49.
