This Week at Aldi: The Ad for January 29, 2020

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 includes Valentine’s Day candy, clothing, and gifts, along with cleaning supplies. Be sure not to mix up the two when doing your shopping, as your Valentine probably won’t appreciate receiving cleaning supplies. Aldi also has some toys and educational products this week. In addition, you can view our roundups of Aldi Valentine’s Day food at this link and gifts at this link.

The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:

• Easy Home Spin Mop, $19.99. Includes 2 machine-washable mop heads. We’ve owned this spin mop for a year, and it works well for us. The bucket is large and holds a lot of water for big cleaning jobs, and we appreciate that the mop heads can be washed and used over and over. Read our review here.
