Around our house, we refer to May as "May-cember" because with the amount of things on our calendar, most of them school-related, it definitely feels like December. However, when this month arrives, I am already dreaming of hot sunny days at the pool, backyard barbecues and the fact I have to start thinking about lunch time meals Monday through Friday for the next two months. Luckily, the latest crop of Aldi Finds has got me covered for all of these, in the most delicious way.



I can't wait for no alarm clocks, the smell of sunscreen, cookout food and everything else we love about summer; and May truly is the gateway to all of it, with Aldi welcoming the new month with a slew of new products just in time for summer time fun.



This month, Aldi is giving us everyday meal solutions, entertaining hacks, and new products that are sure to become favorites. We found some great air fryer-ready party apps that won't heat up the house, a couple of picnic basket contenders, some cold treats perfect for a hot day, and even a ready-to-drink cocktail in time for Cinco de Mayo or for sipping poolside.



Here are the eleven May Aldi Finds guaranteed to fly off shelves and immediately into our reusable shopping bags!

What's All the Hype About Aldi Finds?

Every month, on every Wednesday to be exact, Aldi releases new seasonal, specialty and limited-edition products. Sometimes, they are received so well that they will find a permanent home on store shelves, but for the most part, when they are gone, they are gone. In today's world of social media, the super-popular ones tend to go viral and disappear even more quickly.

Therefore, Aldi superfans line up at the doors every Wednesday morning, chomping at the bit to get their hands on these new releases while saving money on their weekly grocery list. So if you see something on our list you must have, take note of the release date and do not delay!

11 Best May Aldi Finds

1. ALDI Seasoned Spiral Fries, $3.65

While Aldi has always been known for their in-house brands (one way they keep prices low), a few months ago they introduced their actual "Aldi" brand, and these curly fries are the latest release under that label. By the package alone, I think they will be a great dupe for the Arby's classic, and perfect alongside a juicy burger hot off the grill. Available: 5/6

Don't forget to grab some grainy mustard or nacho cheese for dipping! Available: 5/6
