It often appears as a limited‑time offering, so grabbing a bag when it shows up feels like a little win for movie night.
Happy Harvest Canned Whole New Potatoes ($1.05)
At barely over a dollar per can, these are a steal. The can contains new potatoes in salted water and nothing else. They remain firm and retain texture when drained and cooked.

Many shoppers consider it a standout among frozen breads for Aldi’s offerings.
Mama Cozzi’s Chocolate Chunk Pizza Cookie ($4.39)
