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 Advent calendars galore, Thanksgiving- and fall-themed foods, kitchen items, products to take off the winter chill, clothing and footwear, and bathroom accessories.
The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:
- Festive Collection Wine Advent Calendar, $69.99. This item, featuring one mini bottle of wine for each day of the season, sold out in less than five minutes in our local store last year, and Aldi is bringing it back again this year. Aldi has set a limit of two calendars per customer. Play nicely and don’t be greedy, everyone.
ALDI Finds (Special Buy) Highlights:
Other Advent calendars include:
- Aldi Beer Advent Calendar, $49.99. This also was not listed in this week’s official ad, but the internet has been gossiping about it for weeks. We expect it to be as popular as the wine calendar, so arrive early (like before the store opens) if you want one. There is a limit of two per customer.
