Price: $4.39
Does a handful of sugar-glazed pecans count as a dessert? These do! Whether you use them to add a holiday flair to ice cream or cookie dough, offer them for guests, or eat them out of the bag, you save big when you buy them at Aldi's. A similar product at Walmart sells for nearly $14.
At this price point, you can afford to grab two bags.

Friendly Farms Whipped Topping
Price: $1.25
A swirl or dollop of whipped topping adds fun and flair to everything from hot cocoa and coffee to pie and ice cream. This sweet, airy version is nearly 75 cents less than Cool Whip at Walmart.

Caramel Apples
Price: $3.85
Have you ever been apple picking? Do you remember bobbing for apples? Apples are so iconically fall, and caramel apples add a decadent twist. You can pay $1.97 each for a single caramel apple at Walmart, whereas Aldi's are only about $1 each.
You can slice them up to share, or keep them for a special dessert treat that's mostly healthy and fully nostalgic.
Choceur Peanut Butter Cups
Price: $5.75
Why would you want at least two of these bags of peanut butter cups? Well, first, because most people love peanut butter cups. Second, because who knows when you're going to want to crush them over ice cream or add them to cookies for a better-than-chocolate-chip surprise. Third, because you're saving nearly a dollar compared to Target's Favorite Day brand at $6.49.
You can freeze them or store them in the cupboard so they're easy to share any time.

Price: $6.59
Cashews have a buttery, rich flavor. Pair that with dark chocolate and a touch of sea salt, and you have an almost healthy and very decadent fall treat. Buying yours at Aldi's saves close to $1.16 compared to Publix's dark chocolate-covered cashews.
They offer a fun, anytime sweet crunch. You can also add them to your homemade trail mix or serve them as an elegant, tasty snack for guests.
Bake Shop Apple Cider Donuts
Price: $3.65
Have you ever enjoyed a warm donut fresh out of the oven at a bakery? The great thing about these apple cider donuts is that you can warm them up anytime for a cozy treat.
If apple cider is a favorite flavor, grab a few packs while they're in stock — they keep well in the freezer. Plus, you save about 30 cents per pack compared to the same flavor at Target.
My/Mochi Banana Chocolate Cream Mochi Ice Cream
Price: $4.95
How does fudgy brownie bits and banana ice cream wrapped in a soft, chewy mochi texture sound to you? The caramelized flavors of banana bread and bananas may be more typically fall, but it's hard to argue with a decadent treat that's as fun to eat as it is tasty.
Plus, Aldi's version costs $2 less than the exact same product at Mother's Market.
Benton's Maple Leaf Creme Cookies
Price: $3.85
Do the leaves show fall colors where you live? These maple cream sandwich cookies combine a smooth maple filling with crispy, leaf-shaped cookies to bring the flavors of the season into focus.
You can enjoy them with coffee, tea, apple cider, or anytime you want a sweet escape. A comparable product sells at Walmart for $12, so grab these while you can.
Specially Selected Mini Eclairs Dessert Pastries
Price: $5.49
With fall comes more opportunities for entertaining, and these mini eclairs are a brilliant addition to the dessert options you keep on hand. They're bite-sized choux pastries that come filled with rich whipped cream.
Be ready to add a touch of elegance to your table anytime for nearly 80 cents less than you'd pay for Walmart's similar frozen eclairs.
Belmont Turtle Cheesecake Twin Pack
Price: $2.09
Do caramel, pecans, and chocolate remind you of the holidays? You can get all three for less than $1 per slice of cheesecake with this twin pack from Aldi's. These two packs are easier to keep on hand than an entire cheesecake, and you can enjoy a slice when you want one.
Plus, at about a dollar less than Target's identical offering, it's practically guilt-free.
Bottom line
Americans spend over $800 million on pumpkin spice products each fall, chasing that warm, nostalgic flavor that signals the start of cooler weather and holiday gatherings. But fall isn't just about pumpkin. It's maple mornings, apple-picking afternoons, and the first mugs of hot chocolate when evenings turn chilly.
These Aldi finds make it easy to save money at Aldi without sacrificing flavor or fun. After all, there's something magical about having your kitchen stocked with treats that make a regular Tuesday feel like a celebration.
