German Week gets all the attention, but August 2026 belongs to wontons.
Aldi quietly made August its unofficial wonton month, and the lineup is more impressive than it sounds. Two new frozen wonton varieties already hit shelves on August 5, and next Tuesday, August 12, a brand-new Shrimp Wonton Soup joins the freezer aisle for just $2.99. If you’ve been sleeping on Aldi’s frozen Asian-inspired section, this is the month to wake up.
What’s Already on Shelves: The Appetitos Wontons
Two new Appetitos wonton flavors landed on August 5 at $2.99 each:
Crab Rangoon Wontons — Cream cheese and crab filling wrapped in crispy wonton pastry. A restaurant takeout staple that Aldi has now bottled into a freezer bag. Air fryer-friendly for maximum crunch.
Cream Cheese Wontons — The savory classic: rich, smooth cream cheese filling in a crispy wonton shell. Simple, reliable, and the kind of snack that disappears before the dipping sauce is even ready.
Both are Aldi Finds, which means they won’t be around forever. If you haven’t grabbed them yet, they’re still on shelves now.
What’s Coming August 12: Shrimp Wonton Soup ($2.99)
The headliner of Aldi’s wonton month drops next Tuesday — a new frozen Shrimp Wonton Soup featuring shrimp-stuffed wontons, bok choy, and noodles in a savory broth.
At $2.99 and ready in four minutes in the microwave, it works as a hearty meal starter or a light main course on its own. The combination of shrimp wontons, bok choy, and noodles gives it the kind of complete, balanced meal structure that’s rare to find in the frozen soup category at any price — let alone under three dollars.
Why Aldi’s Wonton Moment Makes Sense
Aldi has a long history with wonton-style frozen products. Its Specially Selected Creamy Wonton Crispy Stuffed Shrimp has been a recurring cult favorite, described as comparable to Red Lobster shrimp appetizers and rated “10 out of 10” by shoppers on social media. The August wonton lineup builds on that established fan base with new formats — from dippable appetizers to a full soup — that give Aldi regulars more ways to enjoy the format they already love.
The Bottom Line
Aldi’s Crab Rangoon and Cream Cheese Wontons are on shelves now at $2.99 each. The new Shrimp Wonton Soup with shrimp-stuffed wontons, bok choy, and noodles drops Tuesday, August 12, for $2.99. All are Aldi Finds — available while supplies last. Plan your next Aldi run accordingly.
