Are you looking for something different to give your charcuterie board extra oomph? This port wine and almond cheese is impressively indulgent — and equally affordable.

Snag the six-ounce ball for less than $2.50 right now. Target sells a 6.5-ounce tub of Kaukauna Port Wine Spreadable Cheese for $3.99.

Pass on plain cheese. This charcuterie platter is something special. And that means you need ingredients with zip.

Try a flavorful gourmet goat milk variety instead of the same bland block of Swiss or Muenster. The deliciously delicate crumbles are perfect for topping crackers or wrapping into rolled prosciutto.

Compare $2.49 for the four-ounce container to $3.48 for the same size tub of Roth's plain crumbed fresh goat cheese at Walmart (online).

Price: $2.99

Artisan cheese doesn't have to break your charcuterie budget. Aldi's eight-ounce pack of their private label of hand-crafted artisan cheese is a steal for under $3.

Spread this rich, dreamy blend onto crackers and top the cheese with dried cranberries or fresh fruit.

Price: $3.85

The subtly smoky flavor of this cured Italian ham is the ideal addition to your party platter. Just separate the charcuterie-ready slices, roll them, or fold them into a fancy floral-inspired arrangement.

Score a three-ounce pack for $3.85 from Aldi's deli section. At this price, you can afford to buy a few.

Price: $4.39

Prosciutto is a charcuterie staple that could push your platter's total over budget — But not with this Aldi gem. Toss this four-ounce, under-$5 deal into your cart to elevate your platter for less.

For reference, a three-ounce pack of Applegate Farms' prosciutto costs $6.29 at Target. Layer the cured ham between flatbread crackers and cheese, or wrap thin slices around fresh fruit.

Price: $2.55

Skip the same saltines and other so-so crackers you snack on. This board isn't dull. Jazz up your party platter and add these Aldi store-bran rosemary-infused flatbread crisps to the mix. The seeded crackers are saturated fat-free and only contain two grams of total sugar per serving.

Spend less on this five-ounce box than you would for a comparable product at another store. Whole Foods Market sells Top Seedz Organic Rosemary Crackers (five-ounce size) for $8.29.

Price: $1.89 per pound

Fruit adds an undeniable freshness to any charcuterie platter. Save time in the kitchen and pick a ready-to-go option. Instead of cubing melon or slicing apples, rinse green grapes and arrange them on your budget-friendly board.

We found this fruit for the bargain price of $1.89 per pound in a neighborhood Aldi store. At Whole Foods Market, conventional seedless green grapes cost over $1 more per pound ($3.49).

Price: $1.95

Accent your starter with this sweet treat. Some charcuterie boards include candy or chocolate. If you prefer something more natural, try these dried cranberries. The tart and tangy taste pairs perfectly with mild cheese or salty nuts.

A six-ounce bag of this fat-free food costs $1.95. At Target, the same size pack of brand-name Ocean Spray Craisins costs $2.69.

Price: $2.99

Give your charcuterie a gourmet edge for less with this tasty truffle-infused pick. Simply spoon the decadent dip onto the tray and use it to smother flatbread crackers, cured deli meat, and more.

Everything seasoning is a popular option that you'll find on products in almost every aisle of the store.

The salty, savory blend is an unexpected (but welcome) addition to these hearty cashews. Sprinkle a few on your charcuterie board for a snack, or pair them with fresh fruit for the perfect bite.

An 8.25-ounce bag from Aldi's store brand is a must-have deal for less than $4.50. CVS sells a seven-ounce Well Market Everything Bagel Cashews pack for $8.99.

These savory Greek olives will fill extra space on your party tray. This easy-to-serve pitted finger food transports guests to the Mediterranean.

For the bargain price of $2.45, you can get six ounces (12.35 ounces, including the liquid). On the brand's website, a 5.75-ounce size from Mezzatta costs $4.09.

Charcuterie Board Total: $32.53

Pass on pricey charcuterie boards from caterers and gourmet eateries. The grand total of our Aldi Charcuterie Board is $32.53, and that's not at all for a boring platter.
