Where Are Aldi Finds in the Store?
Get your quarter and reusable bags ready, because we’re going shopping! Once you enter the store, head for the center aisles (unless you’re hunting an Aldi find that’s refrigerated or frozen). They aren’t hard to spot—just look for the giant “Aldi Find” sign.
There are usually two or three aisles filled with all the new products from that week. Be sure to check each shelf top to bottom. Aldi utilizes every inch of space, and you never know what you’ll find hiding there!
