When we first discovered German grocer Aldi had hit our shores we were ecstatic to see that there was another affordable, quality food market serving us a huge selection of low-price staples, as well as really fun options across the board. They have been spot on for our wants and craves since then and this summer, they have rolled out some great products for our picnic, BBQ, and patio dining desires. Let's take a look at what Aldi has going on this week for your summer snacks and sips.

What's a BBQ without a wide variety of meat selections to pick from? But what to choose? What cuts? What meats? What will we pick???? Chill out. The Aldi Grillmaster pack has something for everyone including:

And what's a meat fest without some sides? We eschewed the usual potato salad for something a little different this week, opting for the Giorgio Stuffed Baby Bella Mushrooms which are brimming with artichoke, spinach, and cheese.

And since we are talking sides how about we sub out french fries with these rich, beer-flavored, battered onion rings?
Coming Soon
We can't have just two side dishes, right? Well, these colorful pasta shells coming later this month to Aldi locations would be a great start to an epic cold pasta salad!

But BBQ takes a second to prep so family and friends need something to tide them over. Tortilla chips and raw veggies are fine but we wouldn't dream of putting them out without some dips to dunk them into. Instead of the ranch this year, we are going for this smoky chipotle and bacon condiment to bring up the zest factor for pre-BBQ snackage.

Well, we got some dip - what about chips? Aldi is offering these toasty, garlicky, crunchy rounds for your poolside munchies at only $2.49!

There are the carnivores, the herbivores, and then everything in between, like this author who's a proud flexitarian switching off from meat to veggie to fish every so often to find our diet vibe. Mama Cozzi's pizza gives us a great middle-ground offering that cauliflower crust people are digging these days, but also some old-school pepperoni for our patio picnic needs.
Coming Soon
Aldi knows when we are talking burgers we need to focus on those buns. Instead of those bland mass-market rolls, they are offering us this amazing, everything-bagel-style brioche that will put a new spin on your cheeseburger game. They are coming to stores this week, right in time for your summer solstice grilling needs.

You can go with the usual beverage choices of cola, seltzer, beer, yadda yadda yadda but if you want to give your drink cooler a tingle, how about stocking it with some of this delicious peach tea that's a perfect summer sip?
Coming Soon
Wait, what about dessert? We can't have a summer party without a frosty sweet finale. Sunday Shoppe Ultimate Cones fills the need! Coming to the store on June 26th is a delicious drumstick-style cone that comes with chocolate, fudge swirls, and a fudge middle so you get deep chocolate flavor in every bite.
Coming Soon
Maybe ice cream ain't your bag. We got you boo. Adi is also offering this amazing funnel cake kit so you can enjoy nostalgic Coney Island-style boardwalk funnel cakes without having to schlepp all the way to the seaside. It's coming to stores 6/19 and will retail at around $4 bucks.
