Price: $1.79

These potato sticks are delicious, crunchy, salty, and flavored naturally; they are always a must-grab when shopping Aldi's German week deals. The 4.4-ounce bag comes in a herb flavor, too. Personally, I love the original one for snacking or garnishing soup.

The price is unbeatable, and the taste is much better than the alternatives you'll find at other retailers. For instance, Walmart sells a 5-ounce canister of French's Potato Sticks for over $15.

Price: $2.49

Speaking of delightful snacks, this huge bag of peanut puffs is an absolute steal for under $2.50. The 7.05-ounce bag of crunchy corn snacks with freshly ground peanuts is a crowd pleaser and a fun idea to serve during the holidays.

Trader Joe's sells a smaller 3.5-ounce Bamba Peanut Snack bag for $1.99, showing just how good the original German option is at Aldi, both in taste and price.

Price: $3.15

Soup season is here, and Aldi's German goodie is a great option to keep stocked. This soup is thick and creamy with subtle flavors of potatoes, carrots, and leeks. Ideal for a quick meal, it brings a comforting taste of authentic German cuisine. It's a satisfying option that's easy to prepare.

Price: $2.49

Get some authentic German rye bread this week at Aldi for a bargain price. Whole Foods sells a similar rye bread for $6.29, so take advantage of this limited-time offer on a German brand for much less.

You'll also find two other types of bread: sunflower seed and pumpernickel. All of them are worth trying.

One Reddit user gave a great tip: "We toast this in the toaster oven with a thin slice of smoked Gouda on top for breakfast. Good with scrambled eggs."

Price: $2.49

Made with wheat semolina and eggs, these noodles are perfect for hearty soups, rich casseroles, or as a savory side dish. They're soft, tender, and a delightful addition to your pantry, making it easy to add a touch of authentic German flavor to your meals.

Price: $2.99

These delicate rolls bring subtle flavors and crispy layers that are sure to please everyone. Just watch out for the crumbles.

One Reddit user gave these the seal of approval, saying, "I liked these even more than I thought I would. The wafer is very thin, which is a delightful texture, but crumbles and is kinda messy. It also has a hint of spice flavor, which is really nice."

Price: $2.99

These chocolate-covered wafers come with a warning: "Too delicious to have just one." On the Facebook group Aldi Finds and Special Buys, shoppers are raving about these. As one reviewer said, "They are delicious! I cannot eat just 1 or 3."

You can get these hazelnut creme wafer cookies covered in milk or dark chocolate. They're a delicious treat that can elevate your Christmas dessert table.

Price: $2.99

The 10.6-ounce box of shortbread cookies is a true delight. These German treats are light, buttery, and a delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Perfect for sharing or enjoying as a delightful dessert, they are sure to please.

This week, treat yourself to the rich vanilla flavor (my personal favorite) or try the coconut and almond varieties, which are equally crave-worthy.

Price: $3.29

You can't go to German week without bringing home a strudel. The authentic German apple strudel is a classic, and Aldi is offering a 19.2-ounce box with two of these pastries for a bargain price this week.

This delicate puff pastry, filled with apples, raisins, and a touch of cinnamon, can warm up any stomach this winter.

Price: $4.49

Also offering a few savory strudel options this week, Aldi's price and quality are hard to beat. You get 10.6 ounces of flaky puff pastry and a delicious, subtle savory filling.

We love the spinach and ricotta one, but you should also consider trying the Mushroom and Cheese and Roasted Pepper and Cheese options, available this week only.

These are our top German week picks, but there are more exclusive items worth checking out, like the Deutsche Küche Wheat Bread Rolls and Herring Fillet cans. And no matter the day or time, you can always save more money on groceries when you shop at Aldi. The store offers excellent prices on high-quality meats and produce, helping you stay under budget.
