This Week at Aldi: The Aldi Weekly Ad for January 26, 2022

Last Updated on January 30, 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 toys, games, and science kits, along with Valentine’s Day gifts, food for the upcoming big football game, houseplants, kitchen accessories, various items for around the house, pet supplies, and some car accessories.

Aldi is still stealth releasing some items, stocking products in stores without advertising them, because of shipping delays that continue to affect all retailers. So be sure to stop in at your local store because you may find some surprises.

The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:

Explore One 50mm Telescope or Zoom Microscope

 

  • Explore One 50mm Telescope or Zoom Microscope, $34.99. The telescope looks like the same one Aldi sold during the holidays in 2020. We bought that one and used it to view the moon as well as the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter. It’s a starter telescope, but it’s a lot of fun. The microscope is a 40-piece set with up to 640x magnification power that allows you to capture photos with a smartphone adapter. The telescope is compact with pan handle mount and full length (42″) tripod with built-in compass, and it allows you to see objects closer with 17.5x and 28x power magnification with a large 50mm aperture lens that is perfect for viewing the moon. The telescope includes two eyepieces (12.5mm and 20mm) and diagonal, with a white carbon fiber wrapped tube and a dew shield with protective cap. Read our full review of the telescope here.
