The holiday season is here, bringing with it the whirlwind of events that tend to fill December. Before you know it, December 31st will be here, and it’ll be time to pull out the disco ball and fireworks to welcome the New Year. With a busy and often expensive season ahead, preparation is key to hosting a memorable New Year’s Eve while keeping your budget intact.
Whether you’re hosting for the first time or you’re a seasoned pro, planning ahead–especially when it comes to groceries–can make all the difference. Luckily, Aldi has you covered with affordable options that are sure to impress your guests without breaking the bank.
So grab your quarter and head to Aldi to make the most of these six grocery deals for New Year’s Eve.
Savoritz Garlic & Chive Pita Crackers
- Price: $2.99
Charcuterie boards are always a crowd-pleaser, and the Savoritz Garlic & Chive Pita Crackers are the perfect sidekick to any cheese or dip. These pita crackers offer a satisfying crunch and a savory, herbal flavor that pairs well with a variety of spreads.
“Snacking is synonymous with parties and if you want something with a satisfying crunch, these crackers are perfect,” said Gary Gray, co-founder and CEO of CouponChief. “They’ve got a scrumptious flavor and are way better than plain chips and pair with salsa and cheese spread really well.”
Fresh Atlantic Salmon
- Price: est. $9.19
Elevate your hosting game with Fresh Atlantic Salmon. At just $9.19 per pound, Aldi offers high-quality fish at a fraction of the cost of most big-box stores, making it a luxurious yet budget-friendly choice for New Year’s Eve.
“It’s such a great way to impress your guests and it doesn’t cost all that much for high-quality fish,” Gray said. “You can cook it a dozen different ways but I find the easiest is just seasoning and baking it. It pairs beautifully with sides like roasted veggies or a fresh salad.”
Emporium Selection Cranberry White Cheddar Cheese
- Price: $2.99
Add a touch of elegance to your appetizers with Emporium Selection Cranberry White Cheddar Cheese. This 8-ounce wheel combines a rich, nutty flavor with sweet ribbons of cranberry, creating a perfect balance of savory and sweet.
“This cheese is perfect for a charcuterie board or as a standalone appetizer,” Gray said. “You can also try different flavors from Aldi’s, so you can impress your guests without spending a fortune. My personal favorites are Cranberry White Cheddar and Honey Pecan Brie.”
Specially Selected Crème Brûlée
- Price: $2.19
Nothing wraps up a party quite like dessert, and Aldi’s Specially Selected Crème Brûlée is a host’s best friend.
“It’s rich and creamy, and when you torch that sugar on top, it looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when really it just took a minute or two,” Gray said. “You can serve it right in those cute little ramekins they come in, or if you’re feeling fancy, put them in some nice glassware for that extra touch.”
Specially Selected Original Mini Naan
- Price: $5.15
A versatile party essential, Specially Selected Original Mini Naan can be dressed up or kept simple. These rich, hand-stretched flatbreads make a delicious addition to any spread as they pair well with dips or can serve as a base for creative toppings.
“I always pick these up because they double up as bases for mini pizzas,” Gray. “But if you’re in a hurry, you can just serve them warm with some dips like hummus or tzatziki. If you’re feeling fancy I highly recommend topping them with some of Aldi’s marinated meats or veggies and popping them in the oven for a few minutes.”
Belmont 24 ct Mini Cheesecake Bites
- Price: $10.95
End the night on a sweet note with Belmont 24 ct Mini Cheesecake Bites. This variety pack includes three flavors–New York style, strawberry swirl and turtle flavors–offering something for everyone. Made with real cream cheese, these bite-sized cheesecakes are an effortless yet indulgent way to celebrate.
“You can serve them as is or get creative by adding some fresh fruit or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top for an extra touch,” Gray said. “If you’re feeling adventurous, toss them in a bowl with some ice cream for an instant dessert upgrade.”
