It might still feel like summer outside, but autumn is knocking on the door! Classrooms are full again, football is back and I just drank my first PSL of the season.

What are Aldi Finds?
Aldi fanatics like me know the discount grocery store doesn't do sales like the big chains. They keep their prices low every day, offer weekly specials and still find ways to tempt us. Enter Aldi Finds. In every Aldi store, there are two or three aisles filled with seasonal and/or specialty products that are released on Wednesdays throughout the month at great prices.

What day should I shop at Aldi?
Most grocery stores are busier on the weekend, and that is probably true for Aldi as well, but do you want to know a secret? For the best selection of new items, weekly sales and any of these awesome finds you want to make sure and grab, Wednesday is the must-shop day at Aldi.
That is when their weekly ad starts, new items hit the shelves and marked-down items will start flying out of the store. You think Black Friday sales cause a ruckus? They don't hold a candle to Aldi shoppers racing for boneless chicken breasts for $.99/pound!

There's also a beefy version, for shoppers who are in the mood for red meat. Available 9/13
4. Specially Selected Iced Cinnamon Sliced Loaf Cake $4.29
I love when sweet treats can be for breakfast, brunch, a snack or dessert. This iced cinnamon cake would be delicious any time of day.
