Fall calls for warming food, and potato and cheddar pierogies are hardy and warm as a side dish or main course. You can take them out of the freezer and pan-fry them in butter until golden, with crispy edges, or boil them and top with sour cream and onions.

Aldi's steak fries are a great way to save a dollar compared to Ore-Ida's steak fries, so you can enjoy thick-cut, crispy fries with your favorite meals like burgers, fish, or even a classic steak dinner.

Whether you're baking them in the oven or crisping them up in an air fryer, these steak fries satisfy that craving for something warm and comforting.

As fall settles in and the days grow shorter, it's tempting to call for delivery when you're tired and the kitchen feels far away. But a well-stocked freezer changes that equation.

Shopping at Aldi offers additional savings beyond filling up your freezer on a budget. A popular Aldi hack is to swap a few of your usual name brands for Aldi's private labels. If an item passes your taste test, make the switch for good and let those savings stack week after week.
