I'm a big fan of Aldi.  Not only a fan of the prices, but the Aldi Finds aisle... aka the Aisle of Shame.  Yeah, I said it.

A few years ago, I joined the "Aldi Aisle of Shame" group on Facebook and never in my life have I felt so loved within an online community.

We all share our burning love for everything Aldi... including the newest merch drop.

If you haven't seen it yet, they just released an entire line of apparel, accessories, and keychain quarter holders for all under $10.  What a STEAL!!!

Yes, I went to multiple different Aldi stores to find all of it.  Was I successful?  Sort of.

I was in Springfield, Illinois over the weekend and decided to hit up 3 different Aldi stores.  To my luck, two of the stores had the umbrellas, tumbler cups, keychains, and a pullover.  Of course, I bought all of it.

I really want to get my hands on the bucket hats, belt bags, joggers, and slides.

They're the most sought out merch line right now that people have been reselling all the items on eBay for double, triple, even quadruple the prices!

My brother-in-law is a big Aldi fan and lined up the first day the merch was available in stores and scored windbreakers for himself and my sister!

He's not upset in the photo, he's just flexing his sweet new merch lol.

Today, I hit up one Rockford location and found the slides, more tumblers, and more keychains.  I shall wait it out for the bucket hats!

So if you're a major fan of Aldi and didn't know they had merch you can proudly rep... it's time to run, not walk, to an Aldi near you and see if they have anything left.
