Common questions about Aldi specials

• When do Aldi specials change?

  Aldi turns its catalogue over every Wednesday morning. The specials on this page are the 14–20 Oct 2026 catalogue, and the one after it starts Wednesday 21 Oct 2026.

• When do this week's Aldi specials end?

  The Aldi catalogue on this page runs to Tuesday 20 Oct 2026. A catalogue week runs Wednesday to Tuesday, and the next one starts the following morning.

• What are Aldi Special Buys?

  Aldi Special Buys are limited-time, mostly non-grocery ranges — homewares, tools, clothing, seasonal and hobby gear — sold while stock lasts. They're separate from Aldi's everyday grocery range and change with every drop.

• When do Aldi Special Buys drop?

  Twice a week: Wednesday and Saturday mornings AEST. Each drop is a different themed range and typically sells out fast.

• How often does GroceryWise refresh Aldi specials?

  Once a week on Wednesday morning AEST. Aldi publishes its Special Buys drops ahead of time, so that one read covers both the Wednesday and the Saturday drop.

• Are these prices in-store or online?

  Aldi doesn't run a general online grocery service in Australia, so these specials apply in-store, and Special Buys are mainly in-store while stock lasts — though some ranges appear on aldi.com.au. Always verify there before you shop.

• Where does GroceryWise get Aldi specials from?

  Directly from Aldi's public weekly catalogue, refreshed on a fixed schedule. See the methodology page for the full data pipeline.
