This Week at Aldi: The Ad for July 17, 2019

Last Updated on July 17, 2019

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 mostly about school, with a continuation of last week’s college gear rollout along with new entries in the general back-to-school arena. Aldi also has a few bathroom items and several products in the Earth Grown vegan line.
