Similar brands, like the Instant Vortex, go for between $130 and $160 on Amazon.
Even at Target, air fryers regularly list at $100 or more.
“In the past, I’ve purchased a few Ambiano appliances, and I have no complaints,” Cayla shared.
2. DUTCH OVEN
Another kitchen appliance on sale at Aldi is the Crofton lightweight cast iron six-quart dutch oven.
Dutch ovens are the perfect sturdy pots to have on hand when you’re trying to slow-cook a dish like braised meat or a pot of soup.
The price was listed at $29.99 at Cayla’s Aldi store.
3. CROFTON SERVING BOWL AND LID
Next up was the Crofton Serving Bowl and Lid, priced at $24.99 at Aldi.
The dish is made out of porcelain and could be the perfect container to transfer your famous salad to a potluck.
4. DIVIDED SERVING TRAY
Are you hosting a party yourself? Want to create a charcuterie board, or maybe just create a healthy snack of vegetables and dip?
Aldi has the product for you. Another kitchen item, the Crofton Divided Serving Tray would be perfect for any of these occasions, and it only costs $15.
5. CAST IRON SKILLET
Aldi also carries the Crofton cast iron skillet for $18.99.
These are heavyweight skillets perfect for making dishes for the entire family, and Cayla had positive things to say about Aldi’s kitchen products overall.
“Some of the kitchen finds are some of the best deals that Aldi has,” Cayla said.
6. CAST IRON DESSERT FOR TWO
If you were excited about Aldi’s traditional cast iron skillet, just wait.

There are several glasses with special designs, whether you’re a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon type.
8. VALENTINE’S DAY SOCKS
Your feet can celebrate Valentine’s Day too, with Aldi’s variety of festive socks.
For just $1.99, invest in some pink or heart-themed footwear and you’ll be perfectly prepared for the day.
9. STOOLS
For $39.99, you can also buy a stool that Cayla says makes for a perfect plant stand.
“To me, they’re a little expensive,” the content creator said about the $39.99 price, however.
10. VALENTINE’S CARDS
The front reads “You’re all that: a bag of chips” and that’s just one of many cards available for any upcoming celebration or anniversary.
The variety of cards also includes several popup versions, and they go for just around $1.
11. VALENTINE’S DAY CANDLES

Thought you couldn’t infuse a candle with the scent of Valentine’s Day? You thought wrong.
With product names like “Kiss Me,” “Happily Ever After,” and “I’m Yours” these are the perfect candles to light when waiting for your significant other to get home on Valentine’s Eve.
“These candles were a surprise to me because I had no idea these were coming out,” Cayla said.
The candles cost $4.49 each.
12. CLOTHING

Cayla recommended those who hadn’t yet purchased any Aldi clothing try out some of the store’s winter apparel.
This includes Serra’s sweaters and cardigans, which are available for just $15 as well as tons of leggings for $9.
There are also fuzzy socks on sale for $4.
Cayla said the shirts and sweaters do run true to size.
“However, some of the pants and leggings do run a little small,” Cayla said.
TIPS FOR SAVING AT ALDI
Aldi is regularly known as one of the most affordable grocery stores in the United States, but there are certain ways you can score even more savings.
The day you shop at the store can make a huge difference when it comes to which deals you find.
Wednesday is said to be the best time as this is when new items are marked down.
There will be deals on goods in every department, from produce to dairy, but it all happens on Wednesday.
You should also look out for clearance deals.
The easiest way to spot them is to look for the yellow tags.
Also consider buying items that have damaged packaging because these tend to be sold for a significant percentage off.
Signing up for grocery loyalty programs will also ensure you always have the best deals walking into the store.
