10 Thrifty New Aldi Home and Self-Care Deals Dropping on August 5 (Starting at $0.99)

New Aldi Finds hit shelves every Wednesday, and the August 5 drop is a rare two-for-one treat: a home refresh and a self-care haul in the same trip, with prices that make it easy to stretch your Aldi budget further.

This week's lineup leans cozy and practical. Think satin sleep sets, a body pillow with serious cottage-core charm, and bedding that costs less than lunch. The headliner is a bond-repair conditioner that looks an awful lot like a luxury salon staple for a fraction of the price.

Aldi Finds are limited-quantity and gone when they're gone, so grab your favorites before the weekend crowd beats you to them.

Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.

Price: $4.99

If you've been eyeing salon-grade bond repair but not the salon-grade price, start here. Aldi's new Lacura line includes both a bond repair shampoo and this 8.5-ounce conditioner, and the packaging and promise read like a dead ringer for Olaplex.

For reference, Olaplex's No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner runs $34 for the same 8.5-ounce size at Sephora. So at $4.99, this is the kind of dupe worth grabbing before word gets out.

Aldi's scented body sprays (that Sol de Janeiro lookalike) built a cult following, so we've got high hopes here.

Price: $19.99

Nothing refreshes a couch like a new throw, and this reversible jacquard knit comes in five looks — cream leopard, gray leopard, tan checkerboard, green checkerboard, and solid gray. The green checkerboard stole our hearts.

At 50 by 70 inches of soft polyester, it's a steal at $19.99, especially since we spotted a nearly identical set of two at Kohl's for around $83. Plus, switching your towels a couple of times a year is really an essential way to take good care of your health and skin.

It's good to be frugal, but getting a nice new towel that makes you feel good about your self-care routine qualifies as a smart investment. 

Price: $5.99

Here's an unglamorous truth: you can wash your pillowcases all you want, but the pillow itself quietly collects dust mites and microbes over time — and most of us hang onto them far too long. At $5.99, this antimicrobial pillow makes a fresh swap almost painless.

Buy a pair and refresh the whole bed for less than the cost of a single name-brand pillow. This is also a great opportunity to get those extra guest pillows and throw away the flat ones you're always embarrassed to give your guests when someone is staying over.

Price: $0.99

Even the dollar store cracked a dollar a while ago, so stock up on greetings while they're actually a buck. At $0.99, these Pembrook cards are a fraction of the $4.50 the Greeting Card Association pegs as the average card price — and well under the $2.99-and-up you'll pay at Hallmark.

Grab a few birthday and everyday designs now, and you'll thank yourself the next time an occasion sneaks up. Greeting cards are a nostalgic way to say "I care". And honestly, a very thrifty way to show the people in your life your appreciation. Sometimes we think it's about spending money, but a gesture that costs you 99 cents may go much further than an expensive gift.

Price: $6.99

Consider this your sign to finally toss that grimy, spotted liner. This clear PEVA liner is mildew-resistant with a weighted hem and suction cups to keep it from billowing, and it comes in clear, white, or frosted. At $6.99, there's no reason to live with a moldy one another week.

If you like being proactive, consider grabbing a couple this week; that way, you'll have your backup for when those black, moldy marks that are inevitable show up, you can just go ahead and swap it for a new cover. 

Better hair days and better sleep for under seven bucks? This two-piece set pairs a satin pillowcase (gentler on hair and skin than cotton) with a matching eye mask to block out early summer sunrises.

Similar satin sleep sets from brands like Kitsch often cost several times more, making this an easy add to the cart. You can choose from a variety of colors and prints this week, including a light pink and striped blue one that screams Victoria's Secret dupe. Clever shoppers might even grab a couple and have them as a quick, thrifty (yet thoughtful) gift for a birthday or occasion you almost forgot about. 

Price: $12.99

This might be the sleeper hit of the week. The 20-by-48-inch body pillow comes in several prints (some neutral, like ivory ribbed), but the lavender gingham ruffle is the one we can't stop thinking about. It's peak cottage-core, a look that's very much having a moment.

At under $13, it's one of the best bargains in the whole drop. This is one of the best deals of the week, as it evokes Anthropologie vibes and could easily be a pillow that sells for double the price or up to even $80, as we've seen at high-end stores. When you know about Aldi's weekly deals, you know you can dress up your home and get really fancy without needing a high-end budget. 

Price: $24.99

Electric toothbrushes clean teeth better than manual brushes by offering superior plaque removal, built-in two-minute timers, and less physical effort. If you've been meaning to upgrade from a manual brush, this Aldi deal makes it easy at under $25 for a kit.

This rechargeable sonic toothbrush has four modes, a two-minute smart timer, and four brush heads included. A comparable Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 runs about $80 at Walmart, so you're getting the electric-brush perks (less plaque, healthier gums) for a quarter of the price. 

Price: $19.99

This soft gray jersey comforter is a cozy layer on its own, but here's an editor tip: it also makes a fantastic budget duvet insert. Slip it inside a cover in whatever pattern you like, and when it's time to wash, it pulls right out. It's hard to beat the under $20 price for a cozy comforter.

Pick from a few options this week. These are reversible, and we've spotted a stunning lilac floral print, along with a white one with pink lines and ruffled ends that'll match great with your new body pillow.

Price: $3.99

We couldn't resist ending on this one. This watermelon bucket hat keeps the sun off your dog during pool and beach days, and it's just plain adorable. If your pup isn't the flashy type, there's also a more low-key blue-and-white cap. At $3.99, it's a tiny splurge that'll earn its keep in photos alone.

If you go to PetSmart or other similar stores, you'll see items like this for double the price. Under $4 makes it easy to have fun protecting your pet and taking adorable pictures that will be great memories of this summer.

Aldi Finds like these are only around until August 11, or until the shelves clear, whichever comes first, so if anything here caught your eye, don't sit on it.

And don't hesitate to pair deals like these with one of the best cash back credit cards so you can make the most of your hard-earned dollars. It's a smart way to make your money go even further.

It's not often that Aldi keeps inventory for over a week, as deals come and go. But it's possible that you'll find some items from the previous batch or a new batch in between weeks. Just remember, if you have a favorite, it's not worth waiting; go snatch it at your local store as soon as you can.
