A Moscow Mule you Can Chew - Aldi Moscow Mule Chips

Crinkle Cut Moscow Mule Chips - Aldi

Moscow Mules are a Christmas-thing, right? I feel like I always see the copper mugs around the holidays, but I'm not 100% sure. I've never had one, no particular reason why or anything, I'm just not a big drinker. Boozy beverages taste kind of off or medicinal to me. (Which, fun fact, is why I have only ever been drunk once in my life. I just don't like the taste of anything to drink more than one of them.) I'm always open to trying new things, like the beer my friends bring to parties or fancy cocktails, so why not try it in chip form? 

A few months ago Aldi released these, and a bloody Mary version, as part of a boozy brunch/happy hour line of snacks. The bloody Mary flavor made sense to me, since it contains such savory elements, but with a Moscow Mule, I wasn't so sure.

Stuff Your Face - Aldi Turkey & Stuffing Chips

Clancy's Turkey & Stuffing Wavy Chips - Aldi

Stuffing chips aren't really a "new" item, Boulder came out with a whole awesome Thanksgiving in a bag theme with cranberry, stuffing, turkey & gravy, and pumpkin pie back in 2014, and I think I reviewed them...but maybe I never got around to it. Anyway, they were awesome. 

This year we have a few copycats. Trader Joe's has a Thanksgiving themed Kettle Chip, Pringles has a Thanksgiving Diner set, Mackie's of Scotland has a bag of Turkey and Stuffing Crisps, and now Aldi has these Turkey and Stuffing wavy chips. Each one is different, in it's own way, but they all follow a similar flavor-theme. 

Screaming Sour Cream Bats & Webs - Aldi

Screaming Sour Cream Bats & Webs - Aldi $1.29

Darn right I'm screaming! Halloween is on a Monday this year. What fresh hell is this? The only bright-side to today being a Monday is that on my long drive home from work I pass tons of stores and I'm going to stop in and scoop up all the Halloween clearance items! Your Halloween decoration is my year-round decor! (I may not wear the black nail polish anymore, but I'll always be a goth kid at heart.) 

Aldi may have me drowning in Pumpkin products, but their Halloween-specific goodies were pretty slim pickin's. I picked up some more of the Halloween Pasta (which makes an amazingly spooky pasta salad perfect for lunch boxes) and some fruit snacks, but other than that it was mostly bags of name brand candy and treats. When I spotted these fun spider and bat themed snacks tossing them into my cart was a no-brainer.
