Aldi Brought Back Its Popular $5 20-Piece Meal Prep Container Set, and Fans Are Stocking Their Carts Fast
We know, you keep telling yourself you're going to start packing healthy lunches only to run out of time in the morning and up at a drive through or a vending machine. When 3:00 hits your energy is zapped and and you feel foggy and unfocused. We've all been there, but the good news is, it's easier than you think to break out of this rut with a simple meal prep routine, and ALDI has just released some tools to help.
Built For Meal-Prep Success
ALDI's Crofton 20-Piece 3-Compartment Container Set is a perfect solution for preparing your lunches or on-the-go meals ahead of time, so all that's required in when you're running out of the house in the morning is to open the fridge. The practical set includes 10 stackable containers with matching lids, giving you 20 pieces in total—which is a whole lot of lunches.
Each container has three separate compartments, which means your grilled chicken, roasted veggies and quinoa salad won't be mingling together before lunch. The set is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup, freezer safe for batch cooking, and the base is microwave safe so you can store, heat, and eat all in one, and without dirtying another dish.
Can Save Money and Calories
For anyone trying to eat cleaner, lose weight, or simply save money, portioning out meals ahead of time is a proven strategy. These containers make it easy to cook once and eat all week. Prep a weeks worth of lunches or dinners on Sunday, stack them in the fridge, and be ready for the week ahead. To make meal-prep even easier, simply make a little extra at dinner time and portion out the leftovers for a healthy, ready-to-eat lunch that's ready-when-you-are, without having to spend the extra money or unwanted calories on takeout.
Affordable, Durable, and Limited-Time
Like most ALDI Finds, these won't break the bank. Comparable meal-prep sets can run you double or triple the cost at big-box retailers, but ALDI's version delivers the same functionality at a fraction of the price.Because they're part of ALDI's rotating, seasonal specials, availability will be limited. Once they sell out they're gone. So you spot them in your local store, it might be worth picking up a set (or two) right away.
If your goal is to eat healthier, save money and cut down on the lunch scramble, poor cafeteria offerings, or post-meal hangover, ALDI's Crofton 3-Compartment Meal Container Set is a smart and inexpensive tool to get on track, and stay there.
