What's New At Aldi In October 2026: 19 Finds To Grab This Month

Each month, many major retailers launch new products, bring back old ones, and restock their shelves to meet the needs of the season. Aldi, known for being America's most affordable place to buy groceries, has already launched plenty of fall products. But now that autumn is in full swing, even more comfort foods, game day snacks, and pumpkin-flavored treats are about to hit stores — and they cover just about every meal type, from breakfast to dessert. 

Aldi staggers its product launches throughout the month, likely in part to keep customers coming through the door to try something new. So, as October starts out, products like pumpkin-flavored cream cheese hit shelves, but by the end of the month, Aldi has a few Thanksgiving-focused dishes on the docket, ranging from side dish options to one creative leftover-inspired dinner. Whether you're stocking up for the holiday season already or just trying to enjoy the flavors of fall, here are 19 new finds you can expect — along with their launch dates — at your local Aldi this month.

There are plenty of pumpkin spice products on the market, and pumpkin spice-flavored brioche bread will only add to the craze. Aldi imports the loaves from France; they have the fluffy texture of brioche but with a classic autumnal, warmly spiced flavor, though it doesn't specify the exact spices.

The Specially Selected Pumpkin Spice Sliced Brioche is available on October 7 for $4.49.

If you're looking for a way to add fall flavor to your bagel, you may want to try one of these cream cheese options. The pumpkin spice version has those spiced notes that remind you of a cozy fall morning, and some say it's a less expensive version of the Trader Joe's variety. The salted caramel gives sweeter, dessert-style vibes. A fun way to use these: Turn them into cream cheese frosting to put atop your favorite autumnal baked goods.

Happy Farms Pumpkin Spice and Salted Caramel Cream Cheese varieties are available on October 7 for $2.29 each.

Aldi is bringing back two dessert bars this month. The Lemon Mascarpone has a lighter, brighter flavor with lemon cake and a crumbled topping, while the tiramisu features that classic mascarpone and coffee-soaked flavor. Each box includes two bars.

The Tiramisu and Lemon Mascarpone dessert bars hit store shelves on October 7 and cost $3.49 each.

These fried pickle chips come frozen and are easy to heat for the perfect game day snack. Each box has around nine servings, so they're good for a crowd. The chips are topped with a ranch-flavored coating, are ready in about 15 minutes, and pair perfectly with a side of ranch dipping sauce. Aldi has carried these chips before, and customers have given them mixed reviews online, but for the price and quantity, they're at least worth trying. 

Boxes of Bremer Ranch Pickle Chips are available starting October 7 and cost $6.29.

You can put everything bagel seasoning on just about anything, and Aldi has done it with flounder. These frozen fish fillets are wild-caught and advertised as great for air frying, with a crispy exterior and soft, tender interior.

Packages of Fremont Fish Market Everything Seasoning Breaded Flounder go on sale starting October 7 and cost $6.99 per bag.

If the classic plain potato chip flavor isn't doing it for you, Aldi is introducing a Cheesy Garlic Bread chip and an Italian Seasoning chip, both by Clancy's. The garlic bread chips have been sold previously, and multiple customers said they taste similar to cheddar and sour cream chips, but with a hint of garlic. The Italian Seasoning chips appear to be a new launch.

Both varieties of Clancy's chips are available starting October 14 for $1.99 per bag.

Park Street Deli, Aldi's popular deli brand, is dropping two new chicken salad varieties for the fall season. The Apple Cheddar Chipotle version combines sweet apples with rich cheese and a little heat, while the Apricot Dill version includes the bright, herby flavor of dill to complement the sweet fruit. Both are made using white-meat chicken exclusively.

These prepared Park Street Deli chicken salads are available on October 14 for $5.49 each.

Aldi is launching a handful of new Gouda-style cheese flavors to complement the fall season: Apple Pie, Honey Clover Blue Fenugreek, and Maple Syrup Whiskey. The apple pie version has notes of apples and cinnamon (though the packaging doesn't specify if it's made with real apples). The honey-fenugreek variety offers a little sweetness in contrast with the rich cheese, and the maple one is described as having "a slightly sweet and woody flavor."

Purchase the Emporium Selection Dutch Style Cheeses starting October 14 for $4.49 each.

These grain-based frozen meals pack major flavor. Specially Selected's Surf & Turf fried rice features steak and shrimp alongside mixed vegetables, all tossed with seasoned long-grain rice. The BBQ Pork version has Chinese-style pork tossed with seasoned rice, scrambled egg, and veggies, then combined with a dark soy glaze.

The Specially Selected fried rice meals are available at Aldi starting October 14 for $6.29 each.

For a break from the Halloween candy, grab one of these Halloween pizzas. Mama Cozzi's is releasing two varieties: a ghost-shaped pizza with mozzarella, olives for eyes, and a marinara mouth, and a pumpkin-shaped pizza with marinara sauce and cheddar (for that orange color), topped with mozzarella for eyes and a smile made of cheese sauce.

Both Mama Cozzi's pizzas are available on October 14 for $5.29 each.

Milk alternatives are more popular than ever, and Aldi is releasing several new non-dairy oat milk lattes. The iconic Pumpkin Spice arrives at the height of autumn, plus a Peppermint Mocha for those itching for the holiday season. A classic Vanilla Latte will also be available. The lattes come canned and are made with fair-trade cold brew coffee. 

Purchase Barissimo Oat Milk Lattes at Aldi starting October 21 for $2.69 each.

Beignets are deep-fried, heavenly pastries made from fluffy dough, and Aldi is launching its own version. Aldi's beignets are made in France and individually wrapped, so you can eat them one at a time without worrying about them going stale faster — not to mention the chocolate filling hiding in each beignet's center.

Aldi's Beignets To Go are available starting October 21 for $3.99 per bag.

Southern Grove's Brookie Trail Mix is pretty much dessert in a bag; it's made with brownie-cookie pieces, honey-roasted peanuts, mini milk fudge cups, mini chocolate chip cookie pieces, cookies and cream bites, and chocolate chips. The brand's Kitchen Sink mix is for peanut lovers, with honey roasted peanuts, milk chocolate double-dipped peanuts, peanut drops, marshmallow filled peanut mini cups, caramel mini cups, and chocolate chip cookie pieces.

Both Southern Grove trail mixes drop on October 21 and cost $4.89 per bag.

For a morning meal on-the-go, you'll want to pick up Breakfast Best's Pita Snack Sandwiches. Aldi is releasing two varieties: Egg and Cheese and Sausage and Cheese. They come frozen, but they're fully cooked and only need one minute in the microwave. Each snack is exactly what you'd expect: a cheesy pita filled with either egg or sausage.

The Breakfast Best Pita Snack Sandwiches are available starting October 28 and cost $6.29 per pack.

If you need a comforting side dish, try this sweet potato casserole. It comes frozen, so you can stock up this month and serve it on Thanksgiving. It's ready to bake and has a praline topping for extra sweetness, with a nutty profile that complements the sweet potato nicely. This one is a repeat item that's been sold in past years, and reviews online suggest it's worth the purchase. 

Buy the Sweet Potato Casserole at Aldi starting October 28 for $4.99.

This is another Thanksgiving side dish you won't have to prepare; Specially Selected is dropping two different brioche stuffings just in time for many Americans' favorite food holiday: Herb or Garlic Rosemary. Plus, each box of stuffing is ready in five minutes, so you can prepare both bold flavors if you can't decide.

The Specially Selected Brioche Stuffing varieties are available starting October 28 for $1.49 per package.

This is an ideal dish if you want Thanksgiving leftovers so badly, but there aren't any. The Thanksgiving Bake is made with herb stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, plus turkey and cranberry sauce. Everything comes together for the best way to use leftovers — minus the actual leftovers. You could also serve this on the day itself if you don't have the time (or desire) to cook everything individually.

Purchase the Park Street Deli Thanksgiving Bake at Aldi starting October 28 for $9.99.

If you want a game-day snack this fall without the effort of making it from scratch, Aldi is launching two dips by Appetitos: Buffalo Style Chicken Dip and Spinach Artichoke Dip. The dips are sold frozen, but they only take a few minutes to heat in the microwave. The Buffalo Style Chicken version is made with chicken, Buffalo-style sauce, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese, while the Spinach Artichoke version features the two vegetables in a rich cream sauce.

Find these Appetitos dips at Aldi starting October 28 for $4.99 each.

Aldi is also bringing two seasonal cheesecakes to store shelves: a pumpkin-flavored version made from rich vanilla cheesecake swirled together with pumpkin pie filling, and a Salted Caramel Cheesecake made with caramel cheesecake, a layer of caramel topping, and a sprinkle of sea salt, all baked into a graham cracker crust. Either would make a great sweet ending for an autumn gathering.

Each cheesecake is available starting October 28 for $12.79 per dessert.
