This Week at Aldi: The Aldi Weekly Ad for December 8, 2021

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 outdoor entertainment such as giant movie screens, sports recreation, children’s toys, Christmas and holiday decorations (including more gnomes in various styles), Christmas-related home goods, electronics, pet supplies, kitchen accessories, clothing and footwear, and self care items.

Keep in mind that Aldi may be stealth releasing some products due to shipping delays. Aldi has also asked customers for patience this holiday season in, the midst of supply chain challenges that all retailers are facing.

The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:

• Bauhn Inflatable Outdoor Movie Screen, $99.99. You can purchase the Medion LED Projector for $129.99 to play your movies and cast them onto this giant movie theater screen. We’ve never seen Aldi sell anything like this before, so we’re intrigued. The movie screen measures approximately 114″ x 83″ x 25″ with projection surface dimensions of approximately 98.4″ x 56″. Inflates in approximately 1 minute and includes electronic blower, ropes, and legs, and a carry bag for easy transport and storage. Large format movie fun allows you to enjoy blockbusters, football, and more at home in your yard. Simply bring the big screen home and share movies and sporting events with family and friends. Screen is for outdoor use and comes with a two-year warranty. Read more information about both the screen and projector here.
