Aldi’s best February buys for Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day and sweater weather
Millennials, rejoice!
This weekend, no matter if you’re planning on watching the Superbowl, the Puppy Bowl, The Last Of Us, celebrating Valentine’s Day or doing something altogether different, Aldi has some great options in stock for anything from a romantic dinner at home to a raucous time rooting on your favorite puppy athlete.
The German chain is a winner all year round, but it has some especially great (and super affordable) late winter options that are perfect to pick up for this celebratory weekend. Aldi adds new items each month and their February line-up is definitely top tier. If you’re planning on “staying in” this weekend, having some Aldi mainstays and new products on hand is always a safe bet.
Don’t forget: Aldi also has great protein options, from organic chicken and high-quality fish to excellent charcuterie board options.

This year, the big game falls only two days before Valentine’s Day. It’s so easy to celebrate both at the same time with a heart-shaped pizza. In addition to garlic and herbs, this super convenient frozen option features not one but five types of cheese.
And in this case: they’re fused into one crispy chip of spicy, savory Buffalo-esque flavor. You won’t even be able to pay attention to the game once you taste one of these.
Now, there’s no marinara or pepperoni in sight here. I’d argue this is actually more of a cookie “cake” or large format cookie, in that this is really just a large cookie that is somewhat reminiscent of the shape of a pizza. Regardless, it’s an excellent cookie with just the right amount of chocolate and sweetness.
It’s also very lovely to share a large cookie that can be cut into slices. And that’s amore, is it not?
I’d recommend warming these up, as well as the accompanying cheese sauce, for a restaurant-worthy experience that will take your TV or “big game” watching to the next level — even if your favorite player is doing poorly or your preferred pup has inexplicably wandered off the field.
