Price: $3.89

Nothing says fall like pumpkin spice cake, pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin spice pastries, or pumpkin spice anything, really. This loaf cake is the perfect after-dinner treat or accompaniment to rich herbal tea on a cozy autumn afternoon.

A similar pumpkin spice loaf cake retails for almost $6 at Walmart, so you’re saving a ton on this tasty fall treat.

Affy Tapple Peanut Caramel Apples

Price: $3.85

Caramel apples are an iconic fall treat — no bobbing necessary. These are gluten-free and come in a package of three, so you can have one for now and two for later. They may not be quite as fancy as some of their gourmet competitors, but they’re not as pricey either.

Deutsche Kche Frangipane Tart Apple

Price: $3.99

Apple is right up there with pumpkin when it comes to fall flavors. This authentic German apple tart is frozen, so it’s perfect to pull out for dessert with unexpected holiday guests. Pair with a yummy dessert wine for a truly special fall feast.

Bake Shop Apple Cider Donuts

Price: $3.29

These are a common October treat in the northeastern U.S., and if you haven’t tried them yet, your fall smorgasbord is not complete. Apple cider is used in the dough, and the outside is rolled in cinnamon and sugar.

Luckily Aldi has them in a six-pack, so you don’t need to visit New England to enjoy this treat.

Southern Grove Everything Bagel Cashews

Price: $5.25

While we all love the sweet cinnamon fall flavors, it’s nice to deviate from the norm a little occasionally. These cashews are the autumn nuts you know and love but spiced up with everything bagel toppings for a novel snack.

Deutsche Kche Sugar Roasted Octoberfest Almonds

Price: $2.89

You’d pay at least double what Aldi charges for this cone of sugar-and-spice nuts at an Oktoberfest celebration — or even the mall. Save a little cash by snagging these on your next grocery trip instead.

Appetitos Original Soft Pretzels

Price: $2.75

Here’s another Oktoberfest classic item you can get for cheap at Aldi. This six-pack of soft pretzels is around what you’d pay for a single pretzel at Oktoberfest. They heat up quickly in the microwave and include an authentic salt packet.

Simply Nature Organic Peppered Beef Jerky

Price: $3.75

If you spend your fall months hiking, hunting, or otherwise out in the woods, you’ll need high-protein snacks to fuel your journey. Aldi’s Simply Nature brand is organic and competitively priced compared to similar brands of organic beef jerky.

Cheerios Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free Breakfast Cereal

Price: $3.68

This flavor of Cheerios cereal only shows up in the fall, so it’s a good idea to stock up while you can. Even though the Aldi box is only about 11 oz, it’s cheaper per ounce than Walmart’s family-size box of the same cereal.

Reggano Fall-Shaped Pasta

Price: $2.49

Who says shaped pastas are just for kids? This bag of specialty pasta comes in pumpkin and leaf shapes and adds a little fun to spaghetti night. It’s more expensive than a typical bag of pasta, but not so much that the splurge will hurt your budget on a once-in-a-while basis.

Berryhill Pumpkin Spice Flavored Maple Syrup

Price: $5.99

This maple syrup is the real deal and is competitively priced with other maple syrups of the same size and in the same fancy glass container. The rich, authentic maple flavor is the perfect accompaniment for cozy fall breakfasts and the pumpkin spice flavor is just the icing on the (pan)cake.

Nature's Nectar Sparkling Fresh Cider

Price: $3.89

Sparkling apple cider is a great nonalcoholic celebratory beverage any time of year, but it feels particularly appropriate in the fall. This version is 100% juice and comes out to less than $1 per bottle.

Specially Selected Fig Fruit Spread

Price: $3.29

Fig doesn’t get enough credit as a harvest-themed flavor. It’s much less popular than elements like cranberry, cinnamon, or pumpkin, but this fig fruit spread is equally deserving of a spot on your next charcuterie board or your morning toast. (Plus, it’s not priced much differently from other more blase flavors.)

Specially Selected Artisan Crisps

Price: $4.39

These crackers blend an unsuspecting combination of autumn flavors: raisin, rosemary, and pumpkin seeds. They may be priced a little higher than your typical club crackers, but you’re unlikely to find this flavor profile anywhere else.

Emporium Selection Cranberry Cinnamon Flavored Goat Log

Courtesy of Aldi Emporium Selection Cranberry Cinnamon Flavored Goat Log

Price: $3.65

You might not think to put sweet cranberries and cinnamon with the sharpness of goat cheese, but this combination can be addicting. Pair it with the crisps above for a sophisticated take on cheese and crackers.

Simply Nature Organic Pumpkin Seed Flax Granola

Courtesy of Aldi Simply Nature Organic Pumpkin Seed Flax Granola

Price: $2.99 (on sale from $3.09)

At just $0.26 per ounce, this granola is not only a tasty fall treat but a bargain as well. It’s tough to find granola with specialty ingredients like pumpkin seeds at a price this good.

PurAqua Cranberry Flavored Water

Price: $0.89

Looking for a hit of fall sweetness that won’t cost a lot of calories or a lot of money? This cranberry-flavored water is just the ticket. It’s cheaper than soda and only has five calories.
