This Week at Aldi: The Aldi Weekly Ad for September 18, 2024

Each week we highlight the more interesting items in the upcoming Aldi weekly ad. Note that, in most areas, the ad takes effect on Wednesday.

This week’s theme is German food, fall and Halloween decor and crafts and kitchen supplies, bedding and other products for the bedroom, kitchen items, plants and cut flowers, apparel, kid and baby gear, craft supplies, and assorted food highlights.
