Aldi Is Selling a Nearly Identical Version of a Popular Rubbermaid Item That's 2x the Price

Not that we’re experts, but we can confidently say that there’s no such thing as having too much storage. Sure, the way your home is organized can influence the aesthetics of your space, but the answer is typically more storage, not less—regardless of kitchen size.

Whether you live in a 6,000-square-foot mansion with an expansive open floor plan or a studio apartment with a small galley kitchen, staying organized is the key to success when whipping up your breathtaking culinary creations. And while you might think you need to drop loads of cash to gather the necessary items to up your storage and organizing game, budget-crushing retailer Aldi would happily say otherwise.

From handy 3-tiered rolling carts to beautiful apothecary jars , Aldi has become our go-to spot for all of our storage and organization needs, and the best part is we still manage to walk out with a little bit of leftover cash. Fortunately for us, the deals keep coming, and their latest is just what we need to get organized in the kitchen. It might even remind you of a similar offering from Rubbermaid that costs almost double compared to Aldi’s version. The item in question is none other than a gorgeous 10-Piece Food Storage Set by Crofton for the incredible price of just $12.99.

These simple yet aesthetically pleasing storage containers are perfect for chef's kitchens and small apartments alike. Included in the set, you’ll receive five containers—two 1.25-cup, two 4.1-cup, and a massive 18.6-cup—with corresponding latching lids. The containers are freezer and microwave-safe, while the leak-proof lids keep food fresh for an optimal amount of time. Aside from being incredibly functional due to their stackability and food preservation capabilities, the set is also beautiful to look at, thanks to its brilliantly clear design.

Of course, there are a few notable differences between the Rubbermaid set and this one from Aldi, with the most obvious one being the splatter-proof vents under the lid. While you won’t get that with the Crofton set, and there may be differences in quality, it’s hard to argue with paying $12.99 over $22.97 for essentially the same thing. Best of all, you’ll have enough leftover moola to grab a watermelon , chips and even ingredients for macaroni salad —and you can’t beat a deal like that.
