Price: $12.99

Display April holiday decor or use this whimsical flower-shaped tiered tray to create a mini buffet. Stack petit fours, cookies, cupcakes, tea sandwiches, or charcuterie on each level of the pastel piece.

Snag this must-have deal for under $13 right now. Tiered trays and double-decker cake stands cost two, three, or more times this in other stores. Crate and Barrel sells a two-tiered wooden server for $79.95.

Price: $12.99

This four-piece set combines form and function. Use it to mix cookie batter, store cut fresh fruit, mash potatoes for your next family meal, or prep a mouthwatering marinade.

That's not all. The multi-color lids and crystal clear glass add a trendy touch, making this collection a contemporary part of your home's decor.

Plus, the bowls are microwave, freezer, and heat (up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit) safe. For reference, an almost-identical set of four bowls from Target's Figmint store brand would cost you $20.

Price: $3.99

Make cakes, bake brownies, or cook a holiday casserole with this spring-ish square purple pan. Not a fan of lilac? Don't worry. The new pastel bakeware also comes in cream and green hues. At under $4 per piece, you might want to toss all three into your cart.

Save money and score this Aldi deal before it's gone. Other retailers sell similar bakeware for more. We spotted a nine-inch KitchenAid non-stick cake pan for $17 at Macy's.

Price: $12.99

Celebrate in style with stoneware for less. You don't have to break the bank on a pricey holiday tablescape.

Aldi's microwave and dishwasher-safe serving platter is a high-end-looking buy that is a true bargain. A similar Pottery Barn's Floral Bunny Stoneware Serving Tray retails for $99. Choose from a neutral white option or a deep pink rose. Both color options have the same embossed floral design.

Price: $3.99

Why buy boring bakeware when you could get stylish spring cookie sheets from Aldi? The under-$4 bargain buy comes in green, lilac, and cream colors.

Not only is this fab find fashionable, but it's also fully functional. Use it to make Easter treats and other seasonal sweets. Kohl's sells a pastel 10x15-inch KitchenAid cookie slider. But instead of $3.99, you'll pay $11.99 at the other retailer.

Your old stainless utensils might look out of place next to your new pastel cookie sheets and cake pans. That is, unless you nab this under $2 silicone whisk.

Don't assume you can find a better deal online. Amazon sells a 10-inch red silicone whisk from Cuisinart for $9.99.

Use this Aldi bargain to mix cake batter, add air to homemade whipped cream, combine ingredients, and more. Like the retailer's other seasonal kitchen staples, this is also available in lilac, cream, and green.

Price: $7.99

Whip up waffles in minutes. Pass on pricey restaurant fare and make your own morning meal.

This week's "Aldi Finds" include a mini non-stick waffle maker that's just as affordable as adorable. Pastel hues make this pick the perfect kitchen addition for the spring season. Choose from pink, green, and purple color options.

For $7.99, this home goods deal is an absolute steal — especially if you don't need all the bells and whistles that some other brands offer. Cuisinart's 2-in-1 waffle maker costs over $79 at Best Buy.

Do more than just snag amazing deals on home goods on your next Aldi trip. You can tackle high grocery costs with weekly deals on food items, too. The store has plenty of bargains on everything from party-ready prepared guacamole to frozen cheesecake bites.
