This Week at Aldi: The Ad for December 18, 2019

Last Updated on March 29, 2022

Each week we highlight a few of the more interesting items in the upcoming Aldi ad. Note that, in our area, the ad takes effect on Wednesday, but in some areas it may take effect as early as today, Sunday.

This week’s theme is holiday serving ware and accessories, assorted gifts, bedding, and food perfect for your Christmas or New Year’s party.

The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:

• Easy Home Portable Cool Mist Humidifier, $12.99. Aldi sells a variety of humidifiers each year, but this one always catches our eye because instead of having its own water reservoir, it uses a plastic water bottle. Because of that feature, it is smaller and travels more easily than a traditional humidifier. We’re not fans of plastic water bottles because of the waste they produce, but at least this might be a way to reuse some of those bottles.

While mostly drunk as an aperitif or to accompany a dessert, it can also be enjoyed with many salads or spicy Asian dishes.”
• Oroperla Rose Extra Dry, see price in store. 750 mL, from Italy. Aldi says, “Refreshing bubbles and fresh fruity notes with hints of red currant and wild strawberries bring this extra dry rosé to life. It pairs excellently with BBQ beef, smoked chicken, prosciutto, light salads and seafood.”
