If 2023 taught us anything, it’s that Aldi has three different German Week sales instead of the typical two. During their German Week event, Aldi stocks dozens of authentic German foods and specialty items on store shelves. And just as we expected, another German Week is happening May 8 - 14, 2024.
So what’s so special about German Week? For starters, it’s a chance to try lots of German items that you normally can’t get in Aldi stores (or in other stores, for that matter). And the prices are super reasonable, with items from $1.39 up to $9.99 during the event.
After this May event, it's likely the next Aldi German Week won’t happen until the end of September, so this is your time to stock up on shelf-stable items and frozen goods! To help prepare your shopping list, here’s what to know about Aldi German Week and the Aldi Finds available.

Aldi German Week is a week-long 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 week-long event happens three times a year (usually in May, September, and December), and features traditional favorites like sausages, pretzels, soups, and desserts, along with exclusive Deutsche Küche brand products.
KCL has confirmed the next Aldi German Week started Wednesday, May 8.
Aldi officially announced the date for German Week in their weekly ad, and KCL has confirmed that it takes place from Wednesday, May 8, to Tuesday, May 14, 2024.
KCL TIP: Depending on the demand at your store, you may find the featured products still on shelves after German Week ends on May 14.
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!
