Specially Selected Giant Brioche Buns
Go for gold with a pack of fluffy, oversized brioche buns—made with egg and butter—to complement our Ultimate Southern Burgers.

Pick up a six-pack of these buns for $4.99.

Bake Shop 10-Inch Apple Pie
Is there any dessert quite as fitting to celebrate the Fourth as an apple pie? If you don’t have time to make one from scratch—like our Old-Fashioned Apple Pie—pick up this premade ten-inch pie from ALDI. It has a double crust, just like Grandma used to make, and an instant hit with guests. A pie is also the perfect offering for a last-minute potluck invitation. Pick one up for just $5.99.

Fresh from ALDI Seasoned Chicken Skewers
If you’re looking to add some grilled chicken to your celebration, there’s no need to waste time cutting, marinating, and skewering your own poultry (though our Spicy Grilled Chicken Breasts are always a hit). Instead, go for this $7.99 ALDI steal—eight fresh, seasoned skewers of meat that are ready to cook when you are. Choose from Pollo Asado or Sweet Chili Lime marinade.
