This Week at Aldi: The Aldi Weekly Ad for April 6, 2022

Last Updated on April 9, 2022

This Week at Aldi

Each week we highlight a few of the more interesting items in the upcoming Aldi weekly 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, Easter brunch highlights, stuff for kids (including plenty of Easter basket fillers), spring décor, assorted home goods and decorations, school and office supplies, kitchenware, apparel, and gardening supplies.

Aldi may still be stealth releasing some products, placing them on shelves without advertising them. This is most likely because of continuing supply chain snarls. Also, keep in mind that if you don’t see an advertised product in your local store, don’t assume your store won’t get it; it may simply be delayed.

  1. Bought the Village Pie Maker Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I like rhubarb. I cook with it. I did not like this.

    First your are supposed to cook until golden brown. I dislike under cooked pies so I took this to heart… And baked it an hour longer than it was supposed to and I still wouldn’t call it GBD.

    Second, avoid this unless you like non-sweet desserts. The fruit is good and tangy, but it’s extremely low in sweetness. Even the crust is savory.

    Will try returning it… Yes it’s that bad. My father won’t even touch it.
