As temperatures rise and pools emerge from hibernation, Aldi has everything you need to beat the heat this summer! From indoor gadgets for staying cool to new accessories for the best beach day ever, the selection of great finds is far from few in the store’s limited-time catalog. We are here to tell you some of our favorite items released this week and to help you prepare for what to go for, next week.
1. $13 Mini Bogg Bag Dupe
I think probably every woman has been intrigued by the rise of the Bogg Bag, but maybe not the expensive price tag. This week, the popular chain grocery store released a mini $13 version of their recently dropped $22 Haul-it-All which flew off the shelves just last week. The easy-to-clean tote is available in orange, periwinkle, pink and teal, and is comparable to the smaller sizes of the high-end tote.
2. Strawberry Printed Cooler
Aldi is bringing the cutest print selection of $10 hard-side cooler bags to stores next week! Our favorite is the pink strawberry print, but it will also be available in a beach ball print, a yellow colorway and a blue colorway. The portable cooling bag features a padded strap for easy carrying and an extra front pocket for added storage.
3. Pop-Up Sun Shelter
We are always looking for a good tent or umbrella to shield us from harmful rays and Aldi may have the perfect option to protect your skin. The supermarket, known for its wide selection at low prices, stocked the shelves with this $20 shade in green, blue and yellow.
4. $60 Blackstone Griddle Dupe
This Blackstone griddle dupe might be the secret to the best Father's Day gift ever. On June 5th, Aldi released a $60 flat-top gas griddle with 260 square inches of cooking area. While a Blackstone griddle of the same size and similar design will usually run you $179. I think I know what I'm getting my dad…
5. Sand-Free Blanket
Being covered in sand during a "relaxing" beach day may be the worst thing ever, but Aldi might have just given us our new favorite solution. This week a $9 sand-free blanket, available in orange and blue, hit the aisles. Whether you are taking the blanket to the oceanfront or a park for a picnic, this is the perfect portable solution to mess.
6. 'Funsicle' Pool Float
If you are lucky enough to have a pool to cool down your scorching summer days, this might be the perfect addition to your tanning time. This 'funsicle' pool float is available in either a pink and orange colorway or blue and green, depending on your vibe.
7. $25 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
Another potential Father’s Day present to show your appreciation is this $25 lightweight and waterproof speaker perfect for the poolside or a BBQ. The Bluetooth speaker is marketed as having "crystal clear, powerful sound" and is available for a limited time in two shades of blue and black.
8. Pet Cooling Mat
Want something to help your puppy stay perky while on the go this summer? Next week a pet cooling mat, available in two different shapes and prints, will be hitting the shelves. Aldi claims that the product "stays cooler than room temperature," so your pet can enjoy outdoor time without overheating.
9. $13 Hammock
Do you like camping or do you just want a place to lie without getting covered in grass? Look no further! This lightweight and portable $13 hammock will be available in blue, red, green and a blue palm print next week.
10. Portable AC Unit
I don't know about you, but my least favorite part about summer might be my electricity bill… But we might have found the perfect solution! Next week the chain is releasing a Portable LED Air Cooler for just $15. The portable unit is available in black and white, with a washable filter, and has built-in LED lights that can switch to seven colors.
11. Countertop Ice Maker
As someone who still uses ice trays, another home appliance that I have my eye on is this $70 countertop ice maker. Aldi says this maker is supposed to create ice cubes in just minutes, with two options for ice cube sizes and a cleaning function included. A comparable ice maker could easily run you over $100, so this might be the perfect budget-friendly solution for iced drinks all summer.
12. 29 Oz. Insulated Cups
Looking for poolside cups that won't spill? Right now Aldi has large vacuum-sealed insulated cups for only $8 available in lilac, blue, gray and black. I might just go buy one in every cooler because you can't beat that price!
