ALDI’s September freezer lineup is packed with cozy fall meals, returning fan favorites, German Week finds, and intriguing new pizzas. From Red Bag Chicken to savory strudels, here are the frozen foods worth watching for this month.
1. Kirkwood Sweet Heat Chicken Fillets — $8.99
Arrives: September 23
ALDI’s famous Red Bag Chicken is getting a sweet-and-spicy twist this month. These fully cooked breaded chicken breast fillets bring a mild kick balanced with sweetness and are perfect for sandwiches, wraps, salads, or an easy weeknight dinner.
This is easily one of the biggest freezer releases to watch in September.
2. Specially Selected Beet & Goat Cheese Flatbread — $3.99
Available: September 2
This colorful seasonal flatbread combines earthy beets with creamy goat cheese for a surprisingly upscale freezer meal.
Early shopper reaction has been especially strong, with fans praising the generous goat cheese topping and noting that its flavor is mild enough even for people who normally aren’t big goat cheese fans.
3. Specially Selected Pumpkin & Feta Flatbread — $3.99
Available: September 2
Pumpkin isn’t just for desserts.
This fall-inspired flatbread combines pumpkin with feta and caramelized onion for a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy combination that feels perfect for September.
Add a simple salad and it can easily become a quick fall dinner for two.
4. Deutsche Küche Savory Strudels — $4.49
Arrives: September 16
German Week brings back one of ALDI shoppers’ more unusual freezer favorites.
Look for flavors including:
Spinach & Ricotta
Mushroom & Cheese
Roasted Pepper & Cheddar
The flaky pastry paired with rich savory fillings makes these a great quick lunch or easy dinner alongside soup or salad.
5. Bremer Potato & Onion Pierogies — $9.99
Available: September 2
This massive 64-ounce bag is one of September’s best freezer stock-up opportunities.
The potato-and-onion pierogies can be boiled, sautéed, or pan-fried in butter until golden. Try them with caramelized onions, kielbasa, sour cream, or roasted vegetables for an easy comfort-food dinner.
6. Fusia Asian Inspirations Chicken Wonton Soup — $2.99
Arrives: September 30
One of the month’s best sleeper freezer finds arrives right at the end of September.
Chicken wontons sit in a savory broth for an incredibly easy lunch or light dinner. Shoppers particularly like this one as a comforting freezer meal when they don’t feel like cooking.
At $2.99, it’s worth grabbing more than one.
7. Mama Cozzi’s Greek Style Wood-Fired Pizza — $4.99
Arrives: September 23
ALDI’s wood-fired pizzas are often among the more interesting options hiding in the freezer aisle, and the Greek Style version is one to watch this month.
It’s especially appealing if you’re bored with standard pepperoni and cheese pizzas and want something a little more adventurous without spending much more.
8. Tyson Crème Brie & Apple Stuffed Chicken Breasts — $3.99
Available: September 2
This may be one of September’s most overlooked frozen entrées.
Breaded chicken breasts are stuffed with Brie, cheddar, mozzarella, apple, and cranberry, giving them a sweet-and-savory fall flavor.
Pair one with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for an easy dinner that feels far more elaborate than it is.
9. Specially Selected Fall Harvest Mac & Cheese — $2.99
Available: September 2
Classic mac and cheese gets a fall makeover with pumpkin, butternut squash, and cheddar.
It’s rich, comforting, inexpensive, and different enough from traditional mac and cheese to make it worth trying while it’s around.
This is also a returning seasonal item that shoppers have previously searched for after it disappeared.
10. Specially Selected Nduja Style Sausage Stone-Baked Pizza — $5.99
Arrives: September 30
This could be one of ALDI’s most interesting new frozen pizzas of the month.
The stone-baked pizza features Nduja-style sausage, mozzarella, cheddar, and onions, giving it a richer and more savory flavor profile than the usual freezer-aisle pepperoni pizza.
Definitely one for adventurous pizza fans.
11. Deutsche Küche Pork or Chicken Schnitzel — $9.99
Arrives: September 23
German Week continues later in the month with frozen schnitzel.
Both pork and chicken versions are worth watching, especially if you want an easy Oktoberfest-inspired dinner at home.
Pan-fry or bake the schnitzel and serve it with potatoes, spaetzle, cabbage, mushroom gravy, or mustard.
If you’re only buying one, I’d start with Pork Schnitzel.
12. Mama Cozzi’s High-Protein Cauliflower Crust Pizza — $8.29
Arrives: September 23
One of September’s most intriguing new freezer items is a high-protein cauliflower crust pizza topped with sausage and jalapeño-infused pepperoni.
At $8.29, it’s considerably pricier than many ALDI frozen pizzas, but the protein-focused crust and unusual toppings make it one of the month’s most interesting products to taste-test.
