What to Buy at ALDI in June: 9 New Products to Add to Your Cart, from Bulgogi Beef to Mini Ice Cream Cones
No matter what grocery store you're most loyal to, ALDI is well worth a trip if there's one near you. The supermarket chain mainly sells its own generic brands, which keeps prices low, but it doesn't sacrifice quality, either. Just so you know what to keep an eye out for on your next visit, I've rounded up nine new products that I can't wait to taste. They range from an on-trend frozen pizza to shockingly affordably tuna steaks to summer-ready mini ice cream cones. Read on to find out what to buy at ALDI this month, no matter what's on your shopping list. The 8 Best Trader Joe's Frozen Foods, According to Our Editors ALDI Available: June 4 Complete with a garlic-peppercorn rub, this wild-caught fish is just right for poke bowls, salads, sandwiches and sushi rolls alike. It's ready to eat once thawed for three to five hours, so trade forethought for cooking time and dinner is served. $5 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 11 Long live the swicy trend. This heat-and-eat pie is crowned with hot honey tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni made from pork, chicken and beef. If you're not into spicy food, go for the new Philly cheesesteak variety instead, teeming with cheddar cheese sauce, mozzarella, provolone, seasoned sliced steak, roasted green peppers and caramelized onions $5 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 11 This wheatless, cheesy main features a three-cheese filling, amped up with lemon oil and basil. Better yet, it's part of ALDI's partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a pediatric cancer charity. Shop for a good cause by keeping an eye out for lemon items on store shelves; this contributes to ALDI's $10 million fundraising goal for early 2026. $4 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 18 Its Hawaiian namesake guarantees a sweet, caramelized flavor profile that's begging to be dunked in tangy dip or smashed onto a deli sandwich. If you prefer your chips spicy, opt for the chili pepper lime variety instead. $2 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 18 ALDI is delivering the Korean BBQ to you in June with this pre-marinated gem. Whether you serve it over rice with kimchi, pile it high on a sandwich or use it as taco filling, it'll satisfy your craving for a fraction of the price. (Psst: There's a pulled pork iteration, too.) $6 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 25 It may be non-alcoholic, but it's still refreshing and tasty enough to bring the party. With citrus and botanical flavors—and just enough effervescence to beat the heat—it'll quench your thirst on its own, but it also works as a mixer. I won't tell if you spike it. $6 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 4 Hosting a dinner party, birthday gathering or cookout? This crowd-pleasing confection, which is equal parts sweet, sour and zesty, is just the dessert for the occasion. Warm it up and dole it out to up to eight guests. Bonus points for topping it with vanilla ice cream. $4 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 11 Remember those lemon bars your mom used to make for every summer barbecue? These bright, citrusy almonds are encased in a yellow candy shell that tastes just like 'em. P.S.: There are new, sweet-tart dark chocolate raspberry almonds to try too, in case those are more your speed. $5 at ALDI ALDI Available: June 25 An ice cream cone that clocks in at less than 60 calories per serving? Good luck not eating the whole dozen in one sitting. There are three varieties to choose from: vanilla in chocolate-flavored coating with roasted hazelnuts, chocolate with chocolate-flavored coating and milk chocolate curls and strawberry topped with strawberry-flavored sauce. $4 at ALDI The 15 Best Trader Joe's Snacks, According to Our Editors

Want to save money on groceries? Aldi slashes summer prices. About the deals
Aldi, a discount grocery store chain, is ramping up savings for customers. The no-frills grocery chain, where you drop a quarter into a slot to use a grocery cart, has announced it will again cut prices over the summer. The annual tradition means prices will drop on almost 25% of Aldi's products, or more than 400 items, including meat and produce. Some prices could drop as much as 33 percent, Aldi chief commercial officer Scott Patton told USA TODAY. The Germany-based discount grocery chain said it will be reducing prices on nearly 25% of its products — more than 400 items including meat and produce — at its more than 2,400 stores. Prices will be reduced as much as 33% on the 400-plus products over the summer, "Summer's for grilling out, camping, concerts, and quality time with friends and family – not stressing over grocery bills," Patton said. "That's why we decided to offer even lower prices on Aldi favorites all summer long. Our unique business model with smaller store footprints, 90% private brands and strong supplier partnerships means we can deliver real savings where other grocers can't." The price cuts began June 5 and will continue through Labor Day, Sept. 1. Aldi announced in February it plans to open more than 225 new stores in 2025 as part of a five-year growth plan to add 800 stores by the end of 2028. As of May 29, 18 Aldi locations due to open soon across Florida, including one that opened June 5 in Ocala. ➤ Hundreds of people marked the opening of the new Marion Oaks ALDI on June 5 About 220 Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores purchased by Aldi, will be converted to the smaller, simpler Aldi format by 2027. On Aldi's grand opening page, the chain lists 18 new locations will be coming to Florida: Arcadia, 1737 East Oak St. Aventura, Promenade Shops, 20417 Biscayne Blvd. Boynton Beach, Cobblestone Commons, 8855 Boynton Beach Blvd. Bushnell, Walker Ridge Square, 1122 N Main St. Crystal River, Crystal River Shopping Center, 1651 SE U.S. Highway 19 Deerfield Beach, Crossroads Shopping Center, 301 W Sample Road Fleming Island, Town Center at Eagle Harbor, 1545 County Road 220 Fort Lauderdale, Southland Shopping Center, 941 SW 24th St. Jensen Beach, Palm Breeze Plaza, 1105 NE Jensen Beach Blvd. Lake Wales, Lake Wales Shopping Center, 1860 State Road 60 E Lehigh Acres, 61 Bell Blvd. N Lutz, Sunset Plaza, 18407 US Highway 41 Melbourne, The Ocean Springs Shopping Village, 961 E.

There is no meat counter, deli, pharmacy, bakery, or liquor store. There are no elaborate displays, no overhead music, a much smaller selection with few duplicates of item brands, lots of house brands, and fewer open hours. The goal of all of these is to keep prices low, the company said. You pay a quarter to get a shopping cart, which you get back when you return the cart, and you bag your own groceries with empty boxes from the store or bags you bought from home. You can purchase bags at the store if you forget them. This article originally appeared on Florida Times-Union: Aldi lowers prices for summer in annual tradition: Florida locations
