Aldi German Week is a weeklong sale on German products that happens three times a year.
During Aldi's German Week sale, shoppers can find a big selection of discounted authentic German foods and specialty items, typically ranging from $1.39 to $9.99.
This weeklong event happens three times a year, featuring traditional favorites like sausages, pretzels, soups, and desserts, along with exclusive Deutsche Küche brand products.
KCL predicts the next Aldi German Week will start on Wednesday, Dec. 18.
Aldi hasn’t officially announced the next date for their German Week, but based on what they've done in recent years, we at KCL predict that it’ll take place Wednesday, Dec. 18, to Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2024.
After the sale week ends, you'll likely find a few remaining products in the freezers, depending on your store's inventory, so it's not really a hard end date.
How do we make our prediction?
Last year, Aldi had the December edition of German Week starting on the third Wednesday in December. We fully expect a similar pattern in 2024, which would point to sale dates of Wednesday, Dec. 18, through Tuesday, Dec. 24.
Prior Aldi German Week dates:
Sept. 18 - Sept. 24, 2024
May 8 - May 14, 2024
Dec. 20 - Dec. 26, 2023
Sept. 20 - Sept. 26, 2023
May 3 - May 9, 2023
Look for all sorts of "Deutsche Küche" brand products that are exclusive to Aldi.
The star of Aldi German Week is the Deutsche Küche brand, which is exclusively sold at Aldi stores in the U.S.
You’ll find Deutsche Küche products like pretzels, spaetzle, schnitzel, and strudel for sale during German Week. These products are all reasonably priced, too — with some starting at $1.39.
The sale always includes savory items, German snacks, pantry staples, and authentic desserts.
You can expect to find a range of authentic snacks like Doppelino cookies, peanut puffs, Spritz cookies, and strudels. Of course, there are German staples like pork schnitzel and chicken schnitzel, but also cream cakes and German bread made from traditional recipes.
Basically, you’ll want to check the freezer cases as well as the Aldi Finds aisle, as the German goodies will pop up in more than one place.
Grab the limited-time Aldi Finds before they're gone for good.
Since these German Week products are Aldi Finds and are only available for a limited time, make sure to grab them while you can. They tend to sell out pretty quickly, and once they’re gone, they won’t be coming back (until the next German Week sale, that is).
To guarantee you get what you want, it’s a good idea to shop early in the sale and snatch up your favorites when you see them. You don’t want to have FOMO like we often get with the Aldi gear!
