Aldi's Incredibly Handy 30-Piece Meal Prep Containers are Selling for $5—But They Won't Last Long on Shelves

One thing Aldi does exceptionally well is make shopping remarkably easy. Sure, you’ll need to remember to bring a quarter for the cart (unless you’ve got a dummy one), and you’ve got to have a few boxes or bags if you plan on filling up your cart, but it’s hard to argue with their amazing finds and incredibly low prices. Not to mention, their stores are small and easy to shop, making a trip to Aldi a bit more relaxing than browsing a megastore like Walmart .

Whether you’re in the market for ultra-cute boat shoes , polarized designer-inspired sunglasses or an endlessly useful gas griddle , the fan-favorite retailer has got it all. Best of all, you can cross off pretty much everything on your grocery list and still have cash to spare. And once you’ve made it home with all your groceries and finds, if you’re anything like me, you go straight into prep mode. Of course, you could wait until the day of to cook, but with our increasingly busy lives, it’s worth it to give yourself a head start (even if you are just dicing a few veggies).

Thankfully, beyond offering us a handy prep cutting board , Aldi just added a helpful set of Crofton Meal Prep Containers , and we can now complete meal prep in record time. These immensely helpful plastic containers come in sets of 20 or 30 pieces and feature three or two compartments, respectively. Additionally, the containers are stackable, freezer and dishwasher-safe and the base of the containers are microwavable for easy reheating. Not only are these the perfect containers for storing leftover potato salad , baked beans and barbecue ribs , but they also make great containers for lunch on-the-go.

Even better than their endless versatility, is the unheard of price of just $4.99 for the entire set. That works out to $.50 per completed container for the 20-piece set or just $.33 per completed container for the 30-piece set. Talk about a deal! Whatever you use the containers for, we highly encourage you to jump on this deal while you can. At a price this great, they won’t be around for long.
