The Aldi finds for this March are pretty solid, featuring dinner ingredients like spicy chicken broth and frozen sea bass that we can’t wait to try for ourselves. Also in the list of new products coming to Aldi this month are tons of green-tinted and Irish-sourced foods and drinks that are sure to add some extra celebratory energy to your St. Patrick’s Day get-together—not including green beer. There’s lots to get excited about in this list, like pesto-inspired cheese, minty Irish cream and even corned beef brisket, which you could transform into a riff on our Quick Corned Beef & Cabbage. No matter what ends up on your next grocery list, just make sure you bring along a quarter for your grocery cart rental. 11 Aldi Finds for St. Patrick’s Day Emporium Selection Pesto Gouda pesto-gouda-aldi Credit: Aldi This 6.5-ounce slab of gouda is studded with basil and garlic for a verdant, flavorful bite.

Each of these cheeses is available now for $4. Emporium Selection Sage Derby sage-derby-aldi Credit: Aldi Imported from England, this mild cheese has a fun marbled look, thanks to swirled-in sage.

Emporium Selection Irish Porter irish-porter-cheese-aldi Credit: Aldi This white cheddar is swirled with Irish porter ale, a super dark beer.

Emporium Selection Irish Cheddar aged-irish-cheddar-aldi Credit: Aldi If you want to triple down on sourcing your weekend cheese plate from Ireland, you’ll love the lineup of Irish cheddars Aldi is offering this month.

Each of these 5.3-ounce rounds is available now for $4. Cattlemen’s Ranch Corned Beef Reuben Bites reuben-bites-aldi Credit: Aldi If you’d rather rely on a simple heat-and-eat frozen meal on St. Patrick’s Day, scoop up a bag of these bites.

There’s even a side of dipping sauce included for bonus sauciness. Each 1.5-pound bag costs $8 and is available now. Morton’s of Omaha Black Angus USDA Choice Corned Beef Brisket corned-beef-brisket-aldi Credit: Aldi Whether you want to make corned beef and cabbage for dinner or pile the corned beef onto a delicious sandwich, this ready-to-cook brisket flat will work for you.

Connellys Mint Chocolate Country Cream connellys-cream-aldi Credit: Aldi This rich and indulgent liqueur is a flavorful twist on classic Bailey’s Irish Cream.

Maguires Stout maguires-stout-aldi Credit: Aldi Here’s another copycat on the liquor aisle—these 12-ounce bottles of draught stout look a lot like Guinness, and Aldi suggests sipping a bottle with “savory dishes such as cheeseburgers or shepherd’s pie, or with rich dishes such as filet mignon with porcini mushrooms.” Grab a pack of six, 12-ounce bottles for $7 today.
