1. Grillo’s Sandwich Maker Pickles
These long, slim pickle slices are perfect for back-to-school sandwich-making. Use these flavor bombs to add some bright brininess to recipes like ourAvocado, Tomato & Chicken Sandwich, easy10-Minute Tuna Meltor even aLoaded Veggie Club Sandwich. Grab a tub of these salty-sour cucumbers for $4.75 beginning August 2.
2. Barissimo Cold Brew Ground Coffee
For folks who just can’t stop buying jugs of smooth, über-caffeinating cold brew at the store, these coffee grounds are a perfect buy. Available in medium or dark roast, these grounds are a great option for folks who can’t grind their own beans. (The best cold brew coffee will use freshly ground beans—here’show we prefer to make ours.) Making your own cold brew can definitely save you some cash in the long run, so the $4.49 investment might be a wise one. Shake up your coffee routine when these grounds show up in stores on August 9.
3. Season’s Choice Wild Blueberries
Whether you love smoothies, cobbler, pie or parfaits, you won’t mind keeping these frozen blueberries around. Each $4.99 bag contains 24 ounces of wild blueberries that you could use in simpleBlueberry-Lemon Crumb Muffins, a funLemon-Blueberry Dump Cakeor an easyBerry-Kefir Smoothie. Since these antioxidant-loaded berries are tasty, juicy andplenty nutritious, you’ll be sure to find plenty of ways to use them up. Grab a bag starting August 16.
4. LiveGfree Gluten-Free Pizza Dough
Aldi’s lineup of gluten-free products is offering pizza dough in August, making it easier than ever to put together a delicious pie that everyone can enjoy, regardless of dietary restrictions. Keep it in the freezer or fridge, roll it out and choose your favorite toppings to make it your own. We love options likered peppers with chicken and spinach,winter squash, rosemary and blue cheeseor even a classicClam Pizza Fra Diavolo. Grab some dough for $3.49 beginning August 16.

5. Whole & Simple Protein Bowl
If you’re in the market for a microwaveable meal you can keep in the office freezer or enjoy for dinner after a long, long day, you can always look to Aldi’s rotating assortment of Whole & Simple bowls. This month, the store is offering its tahini-chickpea protein bowl, which includes rice, veggies and green and white chickpeas. It’s also selling an edamame energy bowl, which includes rice, quinoa, veggies, edamame and sesame seeds. Each bowl contains 1/2 cup of veggies and lots of whole grains. Just be cautious of the sodium in each bowl—450 milligrams in the edamame bowl and 580 mg in the chickpea bowl—especially if you need to eat aheart-healthy diet. Try a bowl for $3.19 beginning August 23.
6. Simply Nature Organic Legume Rice
You’ve heard of legume-based noodles—those specialty pastas that make recipes like ourChickpea Pasta with Mushrooms & Kaleprotein-packed and fiberful—but you might not be as aware of legume-based rice. The new mock grain option from Aldi comes in two varieties: tricolor and chickpea-red lentil. Both are plant-based, vegan and gluten-free, all traits they share with plain ol' rice. But this legume take on the pantry staple may be a win for folks who need to add some more fiber and protein to their meals. Pick up a box for $2.99 starting August 30, and try it in a recipe like ourSweet Potato & Cauliflower Rice Bowl.
7. Season’s Choice Smoothies
These no-sugar-added smoothie blends are designed to make your morning a little smoother (and smoothier). Both the antioxidant smoothie blend and super greens smoothie blend combine fruits and veggies for a flavorful, nutritious morning beverage. Opt for the super greens variety for a mix of mango, papaya, kale and spinach, or reach for the antioxidant blend for a summery combination of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and kale. Just add a serving to your blender—each bag contains enough fruit and veg to make six 12-ounce smoothies—and add a little kefir or Greek yogurt for added creaminess. Pick up a bag for $5.99 beginning August 30.
