This Week at Aldi: The Ad for October 6, 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 Halloween-themed food and treats (including lots of cookie and haunted house decorating kits), fall décor, kitchen and food-related items, children’s products, maternity clothing, and several miscellaneous items.
You can view our full roundup of Aldi Halloween-themed food here, and our listing of Aldi Halloween candy is here.
The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:
- Benton’s Chocolate Haunted House Cookie Kit, $7.89 for 39.2 oz.
