Don't worry about breaking the bank on overpriced items. The search for easy ways to stretch your Aldi shopping budget further is over. We scoured the store for the latest buys and handpicked a bounty of bargains fit for Poseidon's platter.

Price: $12.99

Don't sleep on this new limited-time find. Specially Selected's Wild Caught Maine Lobster is a steal. You'll get two of the four-ounce MSC Certified, all-natural tails for about $6.50 each.

Bake, broil, or (now that grilling season is here) barbecue the protein-rich pick. Elevate your meal into a gourmet experience by seasoning the tails with sage, thyme, dill, or rosemary. And don't forget to add a pat of butter and a lemon wedge to the mix.

How does Aldi's price compare to what you'll pay elsewhere? Specialty site Maine Lobster Now charges $12.37 for just one tail that's three to four ounces, and Omaha Steaks sells a two-tail pack for $49.99! If you want to order a dressed-up version for takeout, you'll pay $47 for two stuffed lobster tails at Legal Seafoods.

Price: $12.99

This frozen fish entree will save you time and money. Instead of scrolling through recipes to find the perfect marinade, just open the box and bake or broil the succulent seabass. The 12-ounce pack includes two individually vacuum-packed portions of MSC-certified sustainable seafood selection.

Compare $12.99 at Aldi to $39.50 for a Chilean Sea Bass dinner at Bonefish Grill. While you would also get two sides with a takeout meal, it's easy — and affordable — to add on extras at Aldi. An eight-ounce bag of Season's Choice steamable frozen asparagus spears is only $2.50, and 8.8 ounces of Earthly Grains microwavable Jasmine rice costs $1.55.

Price: $11.99

Get the party started with these "extra colossal" crustaceans. The generously sized raw Black Tiger Shrimp are perfect for shrimp cocktails. At $11.99 for eight to 12 pieces, the one-pound bag has enough shrimp to make three to four appetizers.

Even though almost $12 may seem high compared to some of Aldi's other deals, consider how much the item would cost in a restaurant. For reference, Mitchell's Fish Market charges $16.50 for a single Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail.

Price: $9.99

Why waste time rushing around the store searching for ingredients when you could get everything in one convenient kit? Make eight spicy shrimp tacos in 20 minutes. The Aldi store brand's new find features corn tortillas, wild-caught Argentine shrimp, chipotle seasoning, creamy anch chili sauce, and a spinach, corn, and roasted tomato blend.

Not only is this meal easy to prepare, but it's also a healthier alternative to fast food, pizza, and other greasy takeout options. Each serving of two tacos contains 270 calories and one gram of saturated fat.

Price: $8.99

Fans of Aldi's bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers will enjoy this app with a seafood twist. Salty bacon, spicy jalapenos, and a dreamy cream cheese, what else could you ask for? Well…that's not all. Of course, this pick includes plenty of scrumptious shrimp.

Don't waste your day in the kitchen cooking a starter from scratch. Heat the pre-prepared product in the oven for about 20 minutes, or barbecue it.

Price: $8.99

Jalapenos and cream cheese are an indulgent pairing. If you're into the idea of bacon-wrapped shrimp, but not sure about these extras, that's okay. Aldi has another option with a tame taste. This back-to-basics seafood starter is a classic choice that your party guests will eagerly eat. And like this bargain buy's fancier counterpart, you can bake the shrimp in as little as 20 minutes or toss them on the "barbie."

Pass on pricier takeout options. For reference, Mitchell's Fish Market charges $16.50 for a bacon-wrapped BBQ shrimp appetizer, while Aldi's version is almost half the price.

We're already obsessed with Aldi's new deals on the season's best seafood. But don't wait to snag these finds. The limited-time buys won't last long.
