Aldi fans are running to the store to scoop up a sought-after kitchen buy that is available for $30 this week. Shoppers can stock up on "indispensable" Dutch ovens during the deal, but they are flying off the shelves quickly.
Reddit user Bella3c reminded shopping enthusiasts about a popular home appliance in stock. "They're only $30 and this year they came in white and dark green!" she said in a post.
The Crofton Dutch Ovens are available in Aldi this week as part of their Deals of the Week special. The Reddit user explained that each location only gets about six of them in two different colors. "They're fast-sellers!" she said. She added that this was probably because "they're a very common item for resellers to buy them all up and sell them for more."
Aldi's Deals of the Week start on Wednesdays, with these hitting shelves on September 4. Run over to your local Aldi soon because you may find a few.
Bella recommended them to all of her "fellow cooks and bakers." Her Aldi put them out a day before, so she snagged one for a friend early. She already had one and didn't need another. She got two last year, for herself and her father, and "they hold up so well."
"I happened to be in the store last year when they were putting them out and I got so excited and even got one for my dad (who has also wanted one for so long but couldn't justify the price!)," she said. She called it a "worthwhile purchase" because many other Dutch oven brands cost much more. "But the quality is fairly close in my opinion," she added.
Budget shoppers regularly scan the aisles of thrift stores and sometimes stumble upon affordable kitchen buys, like expensive Le Creuset sets. As a self-described "broke college student," she couldn't fathom spending so much on a kitchen item.
Many Redditors appreciated her sharing the money-saving tip. "Concurring!! Bought the 6 qt model in deep blue last year and it’s indispensable," one commented. "Yes, that's the one that I have, I love it so much! I might swap to a dark green because it fits my kitchen color scheme," she replied. "Just wanted to let you know this post inspired me to go grab one. I've been wanting a Dutch oven for ages and just hadn't pulled the trigger...a little like...eh...eighty bucks for lodge?" another wrote.
The Redditor purchased a green one after people told her it was a good product.
