With as much chatter as there is about the rising cult of Trader Joe’s, another little improbable grocer, ALDI, has quietly been building its own army of loyal shoppers. One reason the German-born supermarket chain is so popular is their beloved private label brands (similar to Trader Joe’s) along with “ALDI Finds,” a program where the market introduces new, unique, and often limited-run products every Wednesday, much to customers’ delight. ALDI Finds include creative coffee flavors, uniquely-seasoned meats, exciting new snacks, discount wines, and even quirky kitchen tools and appliances.
In the dark days, shoppers were only privy to ALDI Finds one week ahead of time, but following some top-secret ALDI espionage and a few backdoor payments, we were able to secure the ALDI Finds for the entire month of August. Just kidding, all we had to do was ask nicely.

From well-reviewed wine to thick-cut cherrywood smoked bacon, a few odd dips, and even an avocado-saver, the August ALDI Finds are looking mighty promising. We got the skinny on which Wednesday each product will land in stores for your planning purposes. Remember, ALDI Finds drop on Wednesdays and only last until supplies run out (which can mean mere hours for certain things). Check out the August ALDI Finds we’re scheming on below and be sure to set a reminder.
