The weather is getting warmer, and that means all I want to do is sit on my patio. Obviously, this means I’ll have a spring cocktail and a plate of snacks with me too.
And beyond backyard hangouts, I know that everyone is gearing up for grilling season. With the school year winding down and Memorial Day on its way, there’s no end to the list of ways to celebrate. I think I already have three graduation parties on my calendar!
Entertaining guests means pulling out those items that you haven’t used in a while, like big serving platters and glassware. Whenever I’m hosting, I head to Aldi to find some cute, seasonal options to jazz up my table. In fact, if you bought all 10 of these items, it would only set you back $97. Less than $100 for a total patio refresh that includes everything you need? Time to throw the perfect party.
Every month, Aldi drops a slew of new items and brings back some customer favorites. Since the grocery 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 Aldi Finds hitting shelves in May. Time to mark these dates on your calendars!

This is a perfect dupe for a Le Creuset product—just at a fraction of the price. I actually grabbed the last one off the shelf for my mom last year, so I can’t wait to go back and grab one for myself.

Aldi Seasoned Spiral Fries
If I had it my way, every fast-food restaurant would serve curly fries. They’re just elite. Dunking that spring-shaped fry into my favorite dipping sauces is always a treat. Now you can make them at home in the air fryer.

Appetitos Everything Franks in a Blanket
There’s no better snack than pigs—er, franks—in a blanket. I love the addition of the everything bagel seasoning to the puff pastry on these little dogs, which is guaranteed to make them disappear even more quickly.

Baker’s Corner Hot Honey Cornbread Mix
Honestly, what could be better than a freshly baked skillet of cornbread? Probably the addition of hot honey. This sweet-and-spicy mix is a great way to get in on the “swicy” trend. Delight your guests with a simple tweak to a classic recipe.

Crofton Acacia Centerpiece Bowl
I have one of these acacia bowls from Aldi, and it is such a highlight in my kitchen. It looks so expensive and chic, and it’s a great way to keep an eye on my fruit so it doesn’t get overripe. I can’t recommend getting one enough; it brings me joy whenever I see it.

Crofton Glass Beverage Dispenser
Having a batch cocktail on hand for any party is a no-brainer—but what about having two batch cocktails ready? Or fill one of these glass dispensers with lemonade and one with iced tea so everyone can make their own perfectly ratioed Arnold Palmer. It’s a win-win.

Crofton Fruit-Shaped Cutting Board
I saved the cutest product for last, and I’m obsessed! Chopping fruits and veggies on this bright, summery cutting board will make you smile all season long. This watermelon shape might be my favorite, but it’s also available in more shapes—you’ll have to head to Aldi to see the rest!
