Before shopping for new Finds this week, though, you might wish to visit the ALDI Finds product delays page. Because of ongoing shipping delays and materials shortages affecting ALDI and many other retailers, certain advertised products may not be available in all locations.
This page features a pretty long list of Dec. 15 ad items that may be delayed, so definitely take a look this week.
