Each month Aldi does a fantastic job finding new products to fill their shelves that celebrate whatever season or holiday we are gearing up for. Sometimes it even becomes a little uncanny how they seem to read my mind when they release their fabulous finds, and February is a perfect example.
Valentine’s Day is on everyone’s minds, but for those of us on a budget, we might be trying to find ways to celebrate with a date night at home. Aldi makes that super easy with some great dinner shortcuts that will help you treat those you love most (including yourself!).
That’s not all, though. There are some early St. Patrick’s Day treats, weeknight dinner hacks and super fun snacks too. Here are the 12 February Aldi finds we can’t wait to get our hands on!

What are Aldi Finds?
If you’re just entering the Aldi chat, you might be a little confused about what all the fuss is about. Once you know, you’ll fully embrace the Aldi Find mania!
Each month, Aldi releases new seasonal and specialty products every Wednesday. These limited-time-only items tend to go viral and have Aldi superfans (like me) waiting at the doors at opening time. To find these fun things, just look for the huge Aldi Finds sign above the center aisles of the store.

What day should I shop at Aldi?
That’s easy…Wednesday! Not only will that be when new Aldi Finds hit the shelves weekly, it’s also the day the new sales ad and super specials begin. Want 99-cent per pound chicken? Be at the store bright and early Wednesday morning because Aldi fans don’t sleep on these great deals.
