3 of the Best Aldi Finds Available This Week (at Better Prices Than Even Walmart)

Loyal Aldi shoppers know it well — the legendary “Aisle of Shame.”

The affectionate nickname is a nod to the delights and temptations this section of the store poses to customers.

Everything from clothing to home decor lines the shelves of the Aldi Finds area (its official moniker), and the selection typically changes every Wednesday.

This week, three items caught my eye. They’re all bargain-priced and all designed to keep your home comfortable, clean and smelling sweet.

1. Down-alternative bed pillow

Winter is the perfect time for a guest room refresh. Start with this cozy comfy deal on pillows from the Aldi-owned Kirkton House brand. These down-alternative luxury pillows are standard size with a 300-thread count exterior fabric that’s 55% cotton and 45% polyester.

If you’re a sensitive sleeper like me, these pillows are in the Goldilocks Zone — not too hard and not too soft. And for $7.99 each, you’ll sleep like a victorious bargain hunter.

2. Scrub Daddy sponge

Scrub Daddy fans, this one’s for you. The FlexTexture Scrubber stays firm in cold water and gets soft in warm water. It consistently retails for $3.89 at Target and $3.88 at Walmart.

Aldi’s price of $3.49 meant that supplies were already low by the time I stopped in my local store on Wednesday. Grab one and get your scrub on!

3. Valentine’s Day scented candle

Keep your romance lit this Valentine’s Day with this chunky candle in a handmade glass jar. Kirkton House is offering this 7.1-ounce candle in four scent varieties:

• Mahogany & Lavender
• Cherry Swirl
• Champagne & Strawberries
• Whipped Vanilla

Dubbed the Valentine’s Icon Candle, the size and unique glass jars remind me of something I’d find in Anthropologie, not a discount grocery store. In fact, let’s take a look at a similar offering at Anthropologie. The store’s Strawberries and Creme Valentine’s Day Icon Glass Candle is slightly larger at 8.8 ounces but retails for $30 more!

If any of these Aldi Finds has piqued your curiosity, act fast. They’re scheduled to be available only until Jan. 20 — and that assumes supplies don’t sell out first.
