Get Ready For Spooky Season With These October 2021 Aldi Finds
The temperatures outside are dropping, the leaves are changing colors to vibrant shades of red and orange, and store shelves are beginning to fill up with all kinds of fun seasonal items. Some consumers simply love fall flavors like apple or pumpkin so much, they will enjoy any new autumnal items all season long. If you're in that camp, you may have already tried out all the September 2021 Aldi finds that incorporated many of those festive tastes. Now, it's time to add a few more items to your shopping list as Aldi shares more new perfectly-timed products that will be popping up throughout October.
If fall is all about spooky season for you, the retailer has you covered with a variety of items featuring those hallowed vibes — and they're perfect for indulging in as you count down the days until Halloween. After all, while there are plenty of Halloween-themed recipes available on the internet, sometimes you just want something quick, easy, and fun that you can pick up and try out (not to mention affordable!).
Whether you want to spice up your October meals with something a little spooky, indulge in a few more seasonal sweet treats, or kick your day off with a festive brew, Aldi has something for you to try out this month. Here are a few finds to keep on your radar.
Benton's Chocolate Haunted House Cookie Kit
Why limit your seasonal cookie structures to just gingerbread houses at Christmas? Benton's has a cookie kit that comes with everything needed to construct a haunted house that's spooky yet sweet, from chocolate cookie panels for the walls and roof to a variety of festive candies shaped like spooky staples such as bats and bones. These kits are available as of October 6, and will cost you $7.89 each, making them a great craft for Halloween parties, too.
Barissimo Halloween Coffee
Infuse the day with spooky products, starting with your very first cup of coffee thanks to these Barissimo products, available in Aldi stores as of October 6. For just $3.99 each, you can pick up a package of ground coffee in blends such as the Sleepy Hollow Blend and the Raven's Roast Ethiopia Single-Origin Arabica coffee. Enjoy it black, or add in your favorite festive creamer (did someone say pumpkin spice?) to finish off your spooky beverage.
Two-Bite Halloween Brownie Platter
Two-bite brownies are irresistible any time of the year, but these sweet treats have received a spooky makeover just in time for Halloween. Starting October 6 for just $4.99 a package, you can get a platter of bite-sized treats topped with orange icing and tiny little ghosts on a black backdrop. The scariest thing about these little treats is how fast they'll disappear.

Starting October 6, you can find a Halloween pasta from Reggano on the shelves that features noodles in shades of white, orange, and purple, and in a variety of shapes that include bats, spiders, and pumpkins.
