The $5 Aldi Organizing Gem That Won’t Last Long (Plus 7 Other New Finds!)
It’s officially February, and if you haven’t quite gotten to your new year decluttering — we don’t blame you. It’s never too late! Every month, German discount superstore Aldi drops a batch of brand-new groceries, seasonal snacks, and home decor goodies. Just in this month, the cult-favorite shop has everything you need to decorate and reorganize your space in a snap (and on a budget!). Here are a few of our favorite picks dropping in your local store this month. Run, don’t walk, because they won’t last long!
1. Crofton Ribbed Glass Canister Set, $9.99
Available February 21, this set of two glass organizers is the perfect mix of function and style. With chic ribbing and sealed cork lids, fill them with pantry staples and grains, toiletries, or even use them as flower vases. Make sure to stock up when you see them, because they’ll go fast!
2. Huntington Home Decorative Tray, $9.99
Aldi knows we’ve got a sweet spot for their stylish organizers. This decorative tray (available February 21) would look great with a breakfast-in-bed arrangement, coffee table books, or as the base of your kitchen counter decor centerpiece. (On the same day, Aldi is dropping a decorative storage box about the same size at the same price.)
3. Huntington Home Swedish Dishcloths, $4.99
Last month, we were enamored by IKEA’s $5 citrus-print dishcloths — and now, Aldi’s joined the game with these adorable Swedish dishcloths (available February 14). Choose from a two-pack of these sustainable paper towel alternatives covered in oranges, lemons, houseplants, or herbs.
4. Crofton 3-Piece Seal Tight Containers, $9.99
There’s never been a better on-the-go food storage container for school lunches, car snacks, airport travel, or even hike bites. This three-piece set (available February 21) is spill-proof thanks to its tight seal lid, making them ideal vessels for chips, nuts, sauces, or even salad dressings.
5. Huntington Home Reusable Bread Pan Candle, $3.99
Totally food-safe and reusable, this bread pan candle (available February 14) is a dreamy 2-in-1 gift for your Valentine (or yourself!). Available in red (coffee and walnut cake), yellow (iced lemon bread), green (key lime pie), and pink (raspberry streusel), there’s one for everyone — and it makes the sweetest storage gem once the candle’s spent.
6. Crofton Ceramic Noodle Bowl, $4.99
February means it’s soup season! Enjoy one of our favorite, coziest soup recipes (or homemade ramen!) in this adorable ceramic noodle bowl that’s already in stores. Available in three different colors and patterns, and complete with a set of chopsticks, you’ll want one for everyone in the family.
7. Crofton Bamboo Steamer, $6.99
While you’ll probably want to use this sleek bamboo steamer for, you know, steaming veggies, seafood, or rice, that’s not its only use. At under $7, we think you should stock up to use them as unique storage vessels, too, for produce, countertop decor, or even as makeshift serving trays.
8. Huntington Home Ceramic Bowl, $12.99
Speaking of chic countertop decor, this adorable bowl (available February 21) is just waiting to be filled with fruit, produce, or other kitchen gadgets and trinkets. Choose from the ribbed white option above, or go with a funky wavy white version for all of your kitchen storage needs.
