The New $5 Aldi Item That Will Have You Clearing the Shelves
When it comes to new takes on traditional snacks, the Aldi Finds aisle doesn't disappoint. From dill pickle popcorn, to strawberry shortcake granola, to hot chili lime potato chips, fans are enjoying new snack experiences this summer.
Aldi is going all in on nostalgic, seasonally-appropriate varieties of trail mix, and the kid in me is totally here for it. The lineup features birthday cake, strawberry lemonade, cotton candy and turtle sundae trail mix flavors. Each bag has an array of ingredients that bring together the eating experience of these iconic treats in a fun way.
For example, the strawberry lemonade features sour strawberry-flavored golden raisins, strawberry-flavored confection drops, roasted peanuts, lemon-flavored fizzy clusters (think Pop Rocks), lemonade-flavored seasoned cashews and lemon-flavored dried apples (an unexpected and welcomed addition to the mix). Somehow, some way, this concoction perfectly mirrors the flavor of an ice cold glass of strawberry lemonade.
The turtle sundae trail mix showcases the classic ingredients of the ice cream treat, with chocolate cookies, chocolate and caramel mini cups, chocolate-covered almonds and both chocolate-covered and roasted, salted pecans.

Birthday cake features graham crackers, confectionary-coated pretzels and chips, rainbow candy gems, sweet cream-coated almonds, and yogurt-flavored marshmallows.
And last, but not least, cotton candy includes vanilla creme-flavored almonds, cotton candy- and lemon-flavored fizzy clusters, peanuts, yogurt-covered raisins, strawberry-flavored confection drops and shortbread chips.
Each 8-ounce bag retails at $4.89 and is available for a limited-time only.
Fans are really loving these mixes. One Facebook follower commented, “I bought a bag of the sundae flavor. Delicious!!” Another replied, “My daughter and I got both flavors and they were good," referring to the turtle sundae and birthday cake varieties.
After trying the strawberry lemonade variety, I can tell you I will be running, not walking, to grab another bag.
Aldi, you nailed it with this one.
