Aldi's Durable New $13 Wooden Chopping Blocks are Guaranteed to Fly Off Shelves

There’s nothing more satisfying than preparing a homemade meal with a brand new chopping block. The smell of the wood, the beautiful pattern of its grains and the convenience of a large surface made to be beaten up just goes unmatched. Pair that new chopping block with a fancy set of cutlery and now you’re ready to scream “Yes, chef !” as you expertly bounce your way through a new recipe.

Chopping blocks come in all shapes and sizes and can be made with a variety of different food-safe materials. The only downside is, the nicer and larger the chopping block, the more expensive it's going to be. However, when picking out a new one, it’s an opportunity to add a prominent piece to your kitchen—something that stands out just as much as it gets the job done.

After getting a peek at this week's Aldi Finds, we may have discovered the perfect beginner chopping block for someone just entering into the cooking phase of their life. With both square and round options to choose from, these Wooden Chopping Blocks by Crofton are both affordably priced and ready to impress. And at $12.99 a pop, customers can buy two and still spend less than the price of one elsewhere.

This high-quality offering includes both a round and square bamboo block as well as a round and square acacia block. The round boards feature a 15.75-inch diameter with a 1.57-inch thickness, while the square boards measure 15.75-inches by 15.75-inches with the same 1.57-inch thickness.

It is important to note that these boards are suggested to be hand washed only, as the dishwasher cycle could eventually lead to cracks and warping issues. Additionally, to ensure lifelong use and the same pop of natural wood colors, occasionally apply vegetable oil to the block using a brush. A little upkeep goes a long way, and you’ll be enjoying the chopping block for years to come because of it.
