Aldi’s New $5 Kitchen Find Looks Just Like Anthropologie but Costs Way Less

This time of year, we’re starting to look a little closer at the weekly Aldi Finds. The famous “Aisle of Shame” is stacked with international food items, kitchenwares, and luxury copycats that we love to shop all year, but with the holiday season quickly approaching, we’re paying closer attention to these limited-time offerings. From bread making kits, to innovative kitchen tools, Aldi is an unexpected, budget-friendly place to start your holiday shopping. 

But because each Aldi Find is only available for one week, you may have to make frequent stops to stock up for the holidays. And I promise, a visit this week will be so worth it.

This latest Aldi Find is an item we’d expect to see from more expensive brands like Anthropologie, not in the aisles of this budget grocer. That’s the best thing about Aldi, you just never know what you’re going to find! 

Aldi’s New Crofton Tea Towels

A beautiful tea towel is an easy way to add personality and color to your kitchen. There are so many fun designs out there from brands such as Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. And while we’d love to collect them all, spending more than $20 on one singular towel doesn’t always make sense for our budgets. 

Kitchen towels are used for spills, drips, and cleaning—so they have to be tough. We look for a balance between price, function, and aesthetics, and that’s where these new, darling Aldi tea towels come in. 

Aldi is selling seven sets of beautifully designed tea towels perfect for gifting—or treating yourself. Each set features two unique towels, and is selling for $4.99. Here are the towel designs you can find this week:

• Block Print: This pair of kitchen towels feature floral patterns. One towel has a light blue floral print on a navy background. The other towel has a different light blue floral pattern on a white background. 
• All You Knead Is Love: One towel has colorful illustrations of baguettes, croissants, and buns on a white background. The matching towel has one illustration of a baguette below a print that reads “All you knead is love.” It’s great for any bakers or bread lovers on your shopping list. 
• Cheers: These adorable towels would make great gifts for your friends who love to host. They would look lovely on a bar cart, and are perfect for a New Year’s Eve party. One towel has illustrations of different cocktails with a “Cheers!” print, and the other towel has gold stars on a white background. 
• Cheese: Do you have any cheese lovers in your life? These towels would make a fabulous gift alongside some pretty cheese knives or a serving board. One towel has an illustration of several kinds of cheese—including Gorgonzola, Camembert, and Parmesan on a light pink background. The matching towel has a big plaid pattern using colors from the other towel. 
• Cin Cin: Saying “cin cin” is a common way to toast in Italy. This colorful tea towel reads “cin cin” and has illustrations of lobsters, oysters, a martini, and baguettes. The other towel features a simple dark blue abstract design. These towels would be great for a loved one who had a European summer trip. 
• Pasta: Like the cheese-themed towel, this pasta towel features several illustrations of different kinds of noodles, such as rigatoni, rotelle, pappardelle, bucatini, lasagna, and more, on a white background. Its pairing towel features simple mustard and cream colored stripes. 
• Tomatoes: These lovely tea towels celebrate the best of summer produce: tomatoes. One towel has several illustrations of tomatoes, including multi-colored cherry tomatoes, sliced and quartered tomatoes, and tomatoes on the vine. Its matching towel features a simple illustration of red tomatoes on the vine on a white background, flanked by two green stripes. 

These charming tea towels won’t be around for long—they’re only available until Oct. 21. Be sure to swing by your local Aldi to stock up for holiday gifting or to add a festive touch to your kitchen.
