Pembrook Kitchen Calendars are Coming to Aldi
This post is an open thread.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2024.
Planners and calendars have a bit of a cult following at Aldi.
At different times, the grocer sells several varieties of planners and calendars, including some basic hardback planners that are “date agnostic” and allow you to write in dates so you can use the planner any time of year. I picked up a few of these planners earlier this year and use them to chart weekly tasks and accomplishments.
Aldi also sometimes sells spiral-bound planners that feature specific themes such as parenting, wellness, and affirmation, or even student planners. Many Aldi fans like these planners because they feature page spreads that display the full months and allow for some longer-term planning.
On a different but related note, Aldi also sells some quality, durable wall calendars usually around the New Year. I’ve used them in the past and liked them.
The most recent type of calendar/planner to show up at Aldi offers a unique twist and is specially designed for use in the kitchen.
What We Know:
The Pembrook Kitchen Calendar (Product Code: 702863) costs $4.99 in January of 2024, which is the same price it sold for in 2022.
This is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Aldi won’t ship it to you after it sells out at your local store.
Here’s more information about the 2024 calendar, according to Aldi:
- Available in four designs including: Floral, Rainbow, Fresh Citrus, and Farm Fresh
- Features 2024 calendar dates and holidays
- Each page includes a kitchen tip and tear-off shopping list
- Includes 53 weekly pages
- Magnetic
The calendars have space to write a weekly shopping list. In addition, the space allotted for each day looks like it can be used to write out schedules and appointments, or it might be a good spot for writing daily menu plans. Weekly kitchen tips include how to reheat pizza in a skillet or how to get a “squeaky clean” cutting board. The various designs available are attractive and interactive, and these calendars certainly caught our eye.
What We Don’t Know:
We have not yet used one of these kitchen calendars, so we don’t know for sure how helpful they are or how durable they are. Our goal with open thread posts is to provide a space for readers to share about their experiences with a product.

I bought one of these last year and although I love the layout, and the fact that it’s compact and user friendly, the seam on the top split after several uses. I still used it and was pretty satisfied with it overall 🙂 It does really help with meal planning. When I didn’t see them offered at Aldi this year, I went in search of one at another store. I did find one that isn’t dated, which is cool, but it’s smaller and doesn’t have as much writing area. I’ll probably try to grab one at Aldi and save the other one. I’ll just give the kids the older, unused pages to draw on!
Last year I bought 2 and they both fell apart. I won’t be purchasing one this year.
I bought the 2023 version and absolutly LOVED it! I’m panicking because they are not in the stores for 2024! Oh no!!
This will be back in Aldi stores on January 3rd, 2024.
YAY!!!
I know! I flippin flappin love this calendar. I’ve only seen the hardbound planners so far. Since using this calendar all year, I want no other. There’s room to write appointments/events for every family member, as well as a place to write a grocery list you can tear off. I’m going to be so sad if the Pembrook kitchen calendar does not return.
I’ve used these for the past two years and I LOVE them! Enough room to write in appointments and activities for a family of five, perforated weekly grocery lists, and stays securely on my fridge. I didn’t have issues with either of mine falling apart. I’m worried because they haven’t been at my Aldi – I went on Tuesday (12/31) and again today (1/2). Hoping they come in next week. Fingers crossed!
They’re scheduled to arrive in stores January 8th in 2025.
Thank you!! I LOVE these calendars and was hoping they would return. I have purchased them the last 2 years. Enough space for a busy family of four to list activities, great for meal prep, durable and perfect size for the fridge door. My family has finally gotten into the habit of writing down items they need from the grocery store! So helpful!!
They totally changed the format this year and there are no more dates on the pages 😣
How about this year? Didn’t see them so far ☹️
I haven’t seen any kitchen calendars in the weekly Aldi ad for 2026 yet. Not sure if they’ll show up or not.
I bought this calendar last year and loved it. It was durable and lasted the entire year. The magnet is super strong and works perfectly. I have been panicking since it has yet to show up in store. Hoping it will drop for next Wednesday’s Adli Finds. Definitely worth the purchase.
Hello,
I have been purchasing these calendars for past 3 years and absolutely loved them! So durable, so convenient to note down future dates and plans and the tear off list is a life saver for weekly errands/chores. But this year I was so so so disappointed when they released the 2025 calendar. Its completely undated!! I can sit and wrote down the dates next to the days for each week and this wouldn’t even help me note down future date plans. I did email Aldis about this requesting them to bring the original version back. Is there a way that you can reach out to them Rachel??? I really miss that calendar.
These weren’t there at all this year in 2025. Instead they sold the undated version. Will these ever come again in 2026?
