Prost, faithful Aldi customers! The beloved discount grocer's famed German Week is finally here, and this year's finds couldn't be tastier.
While you can easily save money at Aldi, anyone on a strict budget can be overly cautious with their palate. Luckily, German Week includes many affordable, delicious bites. It’s time to get curious and try some delicious Deutschland delicacies from familiar finds like sauerkraut to intriguing desserts.
Deutsche Küche Uncured Beer Bratwurst
Price: $4.49
Brats aren't just a German delicacy; they are a summer essential. Aldi's Deutsche Küche Uncured Beer Bratwurst offers flavorful, beer-marinated sausages that will sizzle beautifully on the grill. Already fully cooked, these brats make for an easy weeknight meal or a weekend barbecue staple. Pair them with spicy brown mustard and you’ll feel transported to a German beer garden in no time. With a variety of flavors available for under $5, stocking up will enhance your culinary adventures this summer.
Deutsche Küche Garlic Save Spaetzle

A traditional German dish, Deutsche Küche Garlic Save Spaetzle is a simple yet delightful side. Smothered in a sage, garlicky sauce and melted mozzarella, these dumplings are incredibly tasty. They come frozen, making them a quick and authentic option when paired with your bratwurst. For those who may be less fond of garlic, Aldi offers a plain cheese spaetzle variant that is equally delicious, making this dish an irresistible under-$5 option you won't want to miss. Be mindful, though; they are as addictive as they are filling!
Deutsche Küche Frozen Apple Strudel

Drizzle with whipped cream or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special dessert experience!
Deutsche Küche Peanut Puffs
Price: $2.49
For a unique snacking experience, Deutsche Küche Peanut Puffs are a must-try. These crunchy corn puffs are coated in freshly ground peanuts, delivering an unforgettable flavor.
