IT'S German week at Aldi, which means you can find an array of special, new products starting at $2.

TikToker AldiAllTheTime, also known as Sarah, routinely posts content about the best Aldi finds to her 200,000 followers.

This week brought some special items for Sarah to spotlight, as Aldi has called back its German roots during Oktoberfest with new offerings.

Here were the best products Sarah found:

1. Bavarian soft pretzels ($4.49)

The pretzels are a German favorite, and Sarah told her followers they all needed to try them.

They are an easy snack for those who have a salty flavor palette.

2. Pickle cheese schupfnudeln ($4.29)

This treat is a new addition to Aldi stores this year.

There was also a mushroom schupfnudeln available.

Schupfnudeln is described as a delicacy from southern Germany and is essentially a potato-based noodle similar to gnocchi. 

It pairs well with sauerkraut, red cabbage, turkey, duck or pork.

3. Pork schnitzel ($8.99)

Next up was the always well known German meal pork schnitzel.

“It’s always a favorite,” Sarah said.

4. Apple and cherry frangipane tart ($3.69)

Those with a sweet tooth can find plenty of treats during Aldi’s Oktoberfest celebration.

This apple and cherry frangipane tart were in high demand at Sarah’s local Aldi however, and only one of each was available.

5. Uncured Nuremberg bratwurst ($5.99)

German week could not be complete without sausage.

This versatile bratwurst is a perfect way to ring in Oktoberfest.

6. Premium raisin and nut muesli ($2.99)

Muesli is a whole grain cereal and good source of fiber.

This product packs all the flavor as well, with raisins and nuts added in.

7. Whole rye and pumpernickel bread

Don’t forget about the bread!

As part of Aldi’s Oktoberfest offerings, both whole rye and pumpernickel bread are available.

Pumpernickel is a cousin of rye, being a heavier, slightly sweet version made with sourdough starter.

8. Potato sticks ($1.49)

A few variations of potato sticks are also in store aisles, so next time you’re seeking a french fry companion to your burger, opt for a German version.

9. Herring fillets in tomato sauce ($1.69)

“I can’t be the only one that loves this herring that comes in sauce,” Sarah told followers.

The dish is a common meal in Germany, which makes it a great Oktoberfest offering for the German-headquartered company.

10. Spaetzle ($4.49)

While the exact pronunciation of this product may be hard to wrap your head around, the noodle dish is offered in three flavors: onion egg, mushroom egg and cheese egg.

11. German style pickles ($3.49)

Although not as flashy as some of the other German products, these pickles are a tasty essential.

They can go on the side of any dish or work as the perfect snack.

12. Jaffa cakes ($2.99)

Offered in both raspberry and orange versions, Jaffa cakes are circular desserts with a filling of sponge, jam and chocolate.

For those craving something sweet, they are not to be missed.

13. Doppelino cookies ($3.49)

Another sweet Aldi shoppers can indulge on are the Doppelino cookies.

They are available in both chocolate and lemon variants.

“These are really good,” Sarah said.

14. Chocolate dominos ($2.99)

For even more of a chocolate fix, look no further than the chocolate dominos.

Although keep in mind: “I wasn’t a fan of these. They were a little too sweet,” Sarah said.

15. Spritz cookies ($2.99)

There are even more cookies in Aldi stores this week.

The vanilla, coconut and almond spritz cookies are delicious, Sarah said.

16. Sugar roasted almonds ($2.89)

Sugar roasted almonds are another great sweet snack to add to your pantry during Oktoberfest.

Sarah said while they were very sweet, they were also a great product.

17. Doppel keks ($2.99)

Last but not least is the doppel kek, which is a sandwich cookie with 46 percent cocoa cream filling.

Sarah had not tried the treat but was excited to experience it for the first time.

All of these items are limited time only.

Prices and selection may vary by location.
