Aldi launches $14.99 school backpack and new August product lineup

Discount grocery chain Aldi announced a back‑to‑school flyer on July 28, featuring a stylish school backpack priced at $14.99 and a Crofton 10‑piece food storage set for $9.99, alongside a range of other low‑cost essentials.

For August 2026, Aldi will add a selection of new items to its shelves, including two quinoa grain blends (Red Pepper & Basil and Garlic & Basil) at $1.99, Beef Birria Bites for $5.99, and new vegetable‑focused thick‑crust pizzas such as Buffalo Cauliflower and Roasted Vegetable. The lineup also continues the chain’s seasonal offerings of seasonal flavors and snacks.

Both promotions aim to provide value‑priced products for shoppers as the summer ends and the new school year begins, reflecting Aldi’s ongoing strategy of frequent weekly specials and seasonal introductions.
