The arrival of a new month means more seasonal produce arriving at the farmers market, more bills to pay and a brand news set of Aldi finds flooding the shelves of our local stores. In June, Aldi is pulling out all the summer stops with fun lawn games—grab a badminton set for $24.99 starting June 14—and refreshingly fruity seltzers—arriving in stores June 7.

I’m a Food Writer & These Are the Groceries I Always Buy at Aldi

As always, the affordable grocery chain is including some interesting, healthy bites that we’re excited to try out as they arrive in stores. That includes lots of fun grill-ready options, plus seasonings and accessories to make grilling season tastier and more convenient than ever. Fans of Aldi’s Grill Master Collection, a box of frozen cuts of meat that could very well last you all summer, will be glad to know it’s returning to stores on June 7, along with some fun flavored burgers and a convenient BBQ set for rookie grillmasters.

We’ve gathered up the six items we’re most excited about below, so grab your grocery list and start taking notes.

1. Protein2O Protein Water

2. Fresh Lamb Loin Chops

Grilled lamb chops—like our simple thyme-seasoned ones—are an easy way to welcome the warm, backyard barbecue weather. But lamb is also versatile enough to be cooked all kinds of ways, whether you do it in the air fryer or broiler. Serve it up with a simple, flavorful summer condimentlike tzatzikiand a salad, like ourCucumber & Tomato Salad with Preserved Lemon, for a summer meal you won’t soon forget. Snag some lamb chops beginning June 7 for $8.99 per pound.

3. Emporium Selection Baked Lemon Ricotta

This addition to the June lineup would be right at home in a dessert spread or an appetizer cheese plate. This Italian-made cheese combines the creamy richness with fresh lemon flavor, mellowed slightly in the baking process. Serve it up with a favorite cracker—or even a shortbread cookie—and your favorite seasonal fruit for a fun app or dessert. Bonus: This item is part of Aldi’s collaboration with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which supports children with cancer and their families. Every time this item is purchased,customers help raise awareness to support those folks in need. Grab a 6.4-ounce container of this cheese starting June 14 for $3.99.

6. Chimichurri Cold-Smoked Salmon

Here’s a surefire way to level up your nextbrunch spread: A chimichurri dry rub adds zesty, bright flavor to this smoked salmon, which would pair deliciously with thinly sliced red onions and tomatoes on your next bagel and cream cheese. We love salmon becauseit’s dense with critical nutrients(not to mention filling and flavorful), but folks who have to be careful with their sodium intake should be aware that this smoked option is a tad high in sodium, with 900mg in each package. But sharing the salmon with a fellow bagel-eater would be an easy way to lower your intake. Snag a package for $4.39 beginning June 28.
