Update: This giveaway has ended.

As if we needed another reason to love ALDI, here is a sweet one.

The ALDI-exclusive Benton’s Caramel Coconut Fudge Cookies recently were awarded the 2015 Better Homes and Gardens Best New Product in the Baked Goods category!

The Better Homes and Gardens Best New Product Awards recognize the most appealing and innovative new Beauty, Food & Beverage, Health & Personal Care, Household and Kids products each year. Winning products are chosen by real consumers like you and me.

While our family did not participate in the vote, I can assure that we would have given these delightfully sweet and chewy cookies two thumbs up. (I confess – I just popped one in my mouth as a taste test. Nom nom nom. Yep. Definitely sweet and chewy.)

My husband was particularly thrilled when these cookies appeared in our kitchen cupboard. He is a sucker for anything covered in coconut and fudge. Pardon me while I find a secret hiding spot for this package of sweet goodness.

If you’ve never shopped at ALDI, I recommend checking my ALDI 101 post for helpful tips before you run out to grab a package. You can also click here to find out where the closest ALDI location is. (This is the part where I share that I am positively giddy that we have an ALDI location opening up just five minutes away from us next week! This is after driving 20 minutes to shop at ALDI for the last 10+ years – giddy, I tell you.)

And now comes more GOOD NEWS!

I’m excited to share that THREE lucky Cha-Ching on a Shoestring readers will each win a $25 ALDI gift certificate AND two boxes of Caramel Coconut Fudge Cookies (one to share and one to hide)!

ALDI and coffee. 

Two of my very favorite things in the world – in one sentence – AND in one giveaway!

ALDI recently reached out to me to ask if I was interested in trying their newly rebranded Barissimo Coffee. My husband and I are currently on the hunt for a new coffee experience, so I did not hesitate to say yes.

We opted for the Barissimo Fair Trade Dark Roast Coffee and Hazelnut K-Cups. At $3.99 for a 12 oz. bag of coffee (about $0.10 per cup!) and just $4.79 for the K-Cups ($0.40 per cup), it’s obvious that choosing Barissimo coffee is a great decision for frugal people.

Not only that, but it also passed our taste test! So glad we have another (inexpensive) brand of coffee to add to our repertoire.

Here’s what you need to know when you give Barissimo Coffee a try:  

A number of former Beaumont Coffee products transitioned to the new Barissimo brand in early 2015. Product taste and pricing remain the same.

The line features nine bagged and single serve coffee items, along with additional seasonal and Special Buy items that will be available for a limited time.

The following items are now sold under the Barissimo brand:

• Ready-to-drink Iced Coffees (French Vanilla, Mocha and Coffee) – $1.19
• Whole Bean Coffee (Morning Roast and Donut Store) – $3.99
• Fair Trade Coffee (Medium and Dark Roast) – $3.99
• Donut Store Ground Coffee – $3.99
• 12 oz. Bag Coffee (Breakfast Blend, House Blend, and French Roast) – $3.99
• Assorted Flavored Coffee (French Vanilla and Hazelnut) – $4.99
• Flavored Coffee Cups (French Vanilla and Hazelnut) – $4.79
• Regular Roast Coffee Cups (Breakfast and Donut) – $4.79
• Specialty Roast Coffee Cups (Fair Trade Colombian and Dark Roast) – $4.79

Prices based on retails on 1/7/2015. Prices subject to change and may vary by store location.
