Reviewed by Dietitian Katey Davidson, M.Sc.FN, RD, CPT

Key Points

• Aldi’s frozen berries and yogurt bowls offer quick options for busy fall mornings.

• Season’s Choice frozen herb cubes make adding flavor to meals easy and convenient.

• Aldi’s budget-friendly pasta and flounder fillets simplify cozy fall dinners.

While it can be a bit sad once summer (and peak season for some of our favorite veggies) ends, there’s something really cozy about planning out fall and winter cooking. But with autumn come busy schedules, and you may start finding yourself strapped for time. That’s when leaning on quick budget picks—like Aldi’s October finds—can make life a little bit easier.

To start the day off right, stock up on frozen raspberries or blackberries for your morning smoothie or parfait, or go for some protein-forward frozen French toast bites. There are even some new Aldi Yogurt Bowls, which would make a very easy breakfast, mid-morning snack or lunch—they combine yogurt, fruit and nuts, so you don’t have to worry about whipping up your own bowl.

For lunches and dinners, keep an eye out for bronze-cut pasta and frozen flounder coming to your local store’s shelves. And to season it all without having to try to keep an herb garden alive all winter, grab the Season’s Choice Pre-Portioned Cubes of basil, garlic or ginger and give all your meals the full flavor they deserve.

Frozen Raspberries or Blackberries

Even when it’s not fresh berry season (sob!), you can still enjoy the bright and zesty flavor of raspberries and blackberries in your smoothies, yogurt or desserts. Aldi’s 24-ounce bags of raspberries or blackberries are a good choice to help keep your freezer stocked with your favorite antioxidant-rich goodies.

Fremont Fish Market Frozen Flounder

Fremont Fish Market Frozen Flounder, which comes in a 16-ounce packet of individually wrapped fillets, is a simple main you can get on the table in no time. Bake, sauté or grill these everything bagel-seasoned flounder fillets and serve with your favorite vegetable sides for a delicious meal.

Emporium Selection Dutch-Style Cheese Assortment

Aldi is known for having a wide selection of European cheese at low prices and each 5.3-ounce wedge of these seasonal Dutch-style cheeses will be on sale for $4.49, a great price for high-quality, delicious cheese. Your cheese board will be humming with fall flavor, especially when you can depend on Gouda-style cheeses with flavors like apple pie, maple-whiskey and honey-fenugreek.

Specially Selected Bronze Cut Pasta

Breakfast Best Protein French Toast Bites

Breakfast Best Protein French Toast Bites take the joy of French toast and add in 12 grams of protein per serving. Even better? These bites are ready in just a minute, so you can have a yummy breakfast in no time. They taste great on their own, but pair them with maple syrup and you’ll be starting the day off right. Pair them with another source of protein, like a link of chicken sausage, a boiled egg or a small yogurt to create a truly high-protein breakfast.

Specially Selected Pure Maple Syrup

$14.99 per 32-ounce bottle, starting October 21

Even if you love a pancake or waffle from time to time, the price of pure maple syrup can be a bit too high to stomach.

Aldi Yogurt Bowls
