Last Updated on December 23, 2021

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 exercise equipment, bedding, bathroom accessories, home organization aides, houseplants and other items for around the home, and food highlights that include special meals for Valentine’s Day.

While you’re here, you can also view our post about Aldi Valentine’s Day gifts and décor here, and our post about food for Valentine’s Day at Aldi is here.

The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:

• Pro Form 205 CST Smart Treadmill, $249.99. We can’t recall Aldi selling a treadmill in our recent memory, so this is very intriguing to us.

It also features 0–10 mph speed, two manually adjustable incline positions, rebound cushioning, an integrated device shelf, 0–6% manual incline, a 1.75 CHP motor, a 16″ x 50″ tread belt, 1.6″ precision machined rollers, and a foldable, space-saving design.
