Best $20 You Can Spend at Aldi Ahead of Spring

Spring arrives March 20. To save money, savvy shoppers prepping for the season’s upcoming festivities, like Easter, are shopping early — stocking their freezers, fridges and pantries with everything they need to celebrate.

GOBankingRates is helping streamline your grocery list with our nine spring-approved buys, all of which cost less than $20 each. (The most expensive items are $10 and under.) See what made this season’s Aldi shopping list.

• Price: $2.99

Regular GOBankingRates readers will recognize Fit & Active’s vitality cereal from previously receiving a shoutout in our piece on Aldi buys that set retirees up for success in 2025.

You don’t have to be a retiree to enjoy this cereal either. Made with crunchy rice and wheat flakes with red strawberries, this cereal is a heart-healthy way to start your day.

• Price: $6.05

A dozen eggs are expensive at just about every supermarket right now, but there are still some savings to be found at Aldi. 

GOBankingRates price matched Goldhen free range large brown eggs to a dozen Happy Egg Co. eggs sold at Walmart to find out which is cheaper. Aldi emerged the victor.

• Price: $1.25

The spring season means it’s time to bake cupcakes and cakes to celebrate birthdays, graduations and Easter. 

Save a little money without sacrificing dessert with Baker’s Corner extra moist cake mix.

• Price: $2.15

Bronze cut pasta is considered one of the best splurges to make at the grocery store.

We were excited to see that a 1-pound bag of Priano bronze cut rigatoni is available at Aldi for just over $2. Pair with your favorite pasta sauce and protein and meal prep for several nights worth of delicious dinners.

• Price: $3.65

Little Salad Bar’s chopped Caesar salad kits go the distance during the spring months. These generously sized 10.8-ounce bags come with everything you need to toss a Caesar salad to prep for quick work lunches, as a side dish for dinner with the family or bring along to a potluck with friends or coworkers from the office.

• Price: $1.09

We love to add frozen vegetables into these seasonal rotations, especially since frozen veggies last longer than fresh produce and are generally pretty cheap to buy at Aldi. 

Ahead of spring, add a bag of Season’s Choice frozen green beans to your shopping cart. These 12-ounce bags are a great value for only $1.09 and can be enjoyed as a side dish for dinners or in your other favorite springtime recipes.

• Price: $1.29

Need a side dish to go with Easter lunch or dinner? Keep a 4.7-ounce box of Chef’s Cupboard scalloped potatoes handy. This inexpensive pantry staple is made with 100% real Idaho potatoes and a creamy cheddar and blue cheese sauce.

• Price: $4.95

Did you know Barissimo caramel macchiato coffee made its Aldi debut on Feb. 12? If this fairly new arrival escaped your radar, consider swapping out your morning coffee shop visits and trying out this blend. 

Brew to make a perfect cup of hot coffee or try it iced or as a cold brew using the instructions on the packaging.

• Price: $9.99

Celebrate spring and all the milestones of the season with a bottle of Grande Alberone sparkling moscato. 

This moscato pairs perfectly with your favorite juices for delicious mimosas or sangrias or to sip on its own. Cheers!
