Aldi's Cute New 2-in-1 Picnic Basket Is the Best $13 You'll Spend This Summer

There’s no better time than now to pack up your favorite snacks and beverages and head to the park for a picnic . With summer in full effect, there’s no reason to stay indoors, and if you shop at Aldi, then you know that the popular discount retailer definitely received the memo. With a slew of seasonal products populating Aldi’s current Weekly Finds list, planning a memorable weekend picnic is as easy as it gets without spending too much money.

Earlier this week, we spotted a beautiful 10-piece picnic serveware set that Aldi conveniently priced at just $20. The set makes it so that customers can take advantage of the comforts of home while enjoying the weather outdoors and the company of their closest friends. But of course, no picnic would be complete without a basket to store everything inside of, and the Crofton Modern Picnic Basket with Serving Lid is the perfect tool for the job.

Retailing for just $12.99 and available in either black, green or white colorways, this 2-in-1 picnic basket is the creative solution to packing light and only bringing the necessities. The basket is designed with a bamboo lid that can be used as both a serving board and a cutting board, adding to the overall convenience of carrying less. And in terms of cleanliness, this bag is easy to hand wash or simply wipe clean with a damp rag.

Summer is here, and while the temperatures are a bit high this time of year, a picnic is one of the easiest ways to take in the warmer weather while relaxing as you would at home. All you need to do now is find a nice shady spot in the park, bust out a large blanket, invite your closest friends and family and enjoy the time in the sun while there are still plenty of warm days ahead of us.
