1. Halloween PJs
Holiday PJs can make the season feel more special, and Walmart and ALDI both have Halloween options — but ALDI's beat Walmart’s prices by just a bit. ALDI has licensed Halloween pajama sets starting at $10, with character options like Mickey Mouse and Bluey. Walmart’s boys’ pajamas are only a dollar more but don’t include licensed characters. You can choose from candy skeleton, mummy, ghost and checkered options.

2. Pumpkin Decor
ALDI offers Kirkton House Autumn Glass Pumpkins in a variety of colors. They’re the perfect addition to your fall decor, and you can add them to your shelf, desk or table for just $8 each. Walmart offers a Halloween-themed glass pumpkin for the same price.
3. Fall Doormat
An easy way to switch into a new season is to change your doormat. ALDI and Walmart both have lots of fall-themed doormat options. ALDI’s Kirkton House Hello Fall Wreath Doormat is just $8 compared to Walmart's Orange Pumpkin Coir Mat for $10. They’re both good deals, but ALDI edges out ahead yet again.
4. Football Sweatshirts
If you want to show your love of football but don’t want to shell out big bucks on a team sweatshirt, ALDI and Walmart both provide a more neutral option that still captures team spirit. ALDI’s Serra Ls Game Day Top simply declares that it’s game day and is just $13. Walmart offers a similar option with its No Boundaries Off Shoulder Sweatshirt in a few different designs for $15.
5. Game Day Tote
Waterproof tote bags are a great way to pack up your gear for a tailgate party or a light hike to peep foliage. Walmart’s Time and Tru Women’s Waterproof EVA Beach Tote Bag is $20 and comes in a few solid color choices. ALDI’s version — the Ls Live In Style Haul It All — is slightly more expensive at $20, but it features a football pattern that’s perfect for fall.
