Another really good use is for V7 chords with some alterations, but we'd be looking at a tetrad: major 7th chord with the raised fifth, or a +Δ7 (where the Δ7 refers to the raised 7th scale degree, and the + refers to the augmented triad beneath it all).
​
For instance, if you stack a Bb+Δ7 over a C7 shell (E and Bb), you get a nice voicing for a C13(+11):
>LH: C-E // RH: Bb-D-F#-A
​
In addition, stacking an E+Δ7 over the C7 shell is a nice C7(#9,#5) sound:
>LH: C-Bb // RH: E-G#-C-D#
​
Lastly, as mentioned elsewhere, this tetrad makes a lovely -Δ7 sound as well. For a C-Δ7, we might voice with an Eb+Δ7 tetrad over C:
>LH: C // RH: Eb-G-B-D
​
Walt Weiskopf and Ramon Ricker wrote a pretty great book on the matter (The Augmented Scale in Jazz) that looks at not just the augmented scale, but a baffling array of ways that the augmented sound has been used by artists like Coltrane, Michael Brecker, and others.
​
[Edit]: I realize that if you're now discovering augmented chords, the above likely sound like absolute fluff and rubbish. Apologies.
Try using an augmented triad as a delayed resolution to the tonic or the I chord: G7 -> C+ -> C or C6.
