Aldi knows the way to my heart: cheese—lots and lots of cheese. In November, the discount supermarket chain released an advent calendar way better than any traditional holiday countdown. With 25 days of gouda, cheddar, edam, and more, the calendar unsurprisingly sold out fast—and then started going for the major cash on Ebay. In January, the brand followed up their earlier success with the drop of heart-shaped mature cheddar wheels, packaged liked a box of chocolates in honor of Valentine's Day. And now, Aldi is welcoming their latest line of hilariously punny cheeses. Time to hit the aisles.
Launching February 6—just days ahead of the 61st Annual Grammy Awards—Aldi announced the news of their Happy Farms limited release, and it looks so, so good. Each of the six products are priced at $3.49 and are appropriately named after hit '80s songs. So, if you need an awards show snack, this is it! The variety includes, Wake Me Up Before You Goat Goat, Sweet Cheddar of Mine, Girls Just Wanna Have Fontina, Pour Some Gouda on Me, and Total Eclipse of the Havarti. Personally, I think the names alone are worth the purchase. I'll take all of the above.
And because many of us are still thawing out from recent winter temps and refuse to leave the house (read: me), you can now get your snacks delivered straight to your front door. In September, Aldi announced their new partnership with Instacart. By Thanksgiving, select stores rolled out delivery features for 35 states and nearly 5,000 ZIP Codes. And while, Aldi Finds—like the punny cheese and advent calendar—are not up for grabs through Instacart, there are plenty of other brand favorites available for order.
