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 26 Aug – 1 Sep 2026 catalogue, and the one after it starts Wednesday 2 Sep 2026.

• When do this week's Aldi specials end?

  The Aldi catalogue on this page runs to Tuesday 1 Sep 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.
