The 10 Best Aldi Finds of September Include a Skeleton Cookie Jar and a Sourdough Kit

These limited-edition Aldi Finds are great for easing into fall and getting excited about Halloween.

Ah, September, my favorite month of the year. It’s true that I’m biased because I have a September birthday. But I also think I would enjoy this transitional month regardless of any personal celebrations. As a huge book lover, this is when I break out the mysteries and settle in for a reading sesh with a nice mug of tea.

It’s a great time to embrace some heartier meals and cozy comfort foods. This is when I start baking bread again in earnest and break out the Dutch oven once a week for a simmering pot of soup. Of course, the return of football season means that there are still plenty of opportunities to make fun dips and shareable spreads.

Every month, Aldi drops a slew of new items and brings back some customer favorites. Since the grocery store is famous for its motto of “Here today, gone tomorrow,” I’ve turned my passion into an inside scoop so you can stock up while things last. Here are the most exciting September Aldi Finds that will make the start of cozy season even better.

Crofton Cast Iron Dutch Oven

At this point, I may have lost track of just how many Crofton Dutch ovens I own. The truth is, they’re so affordable, versatile and easy to clean. I can use them for a variety of dishes, and they all hold up really well. This shallower option is my go-to for dishes like braised cabbage rolls.

This Crofton kit includes all the important stuff like a bench scraper, a dough whisk, a bread lame and a proofing basket.
