Aldi shoppers rush to buy $30 Dutch ovens, but warn: ‘They’ll sell out fast’
ALDI fans are rushing to the store to score a coveted kitchen item, which is available for $30 this week.
During the promotion period, buyers can replenish their stock of ‘indispensable’ Dutch ovens, but these sell out quickly.
Reddit user Bella3c reminded shoppers of a popular home appliance that is in stock.
The Crofton Dutch Ovens are available at Aldi this week as part of their Deals of the Week promotion.
OFFER OF THE WEEK
“They were only $30 and this year they came in white and dark green!” she said in a after.
The Reddit user explained that only six will be placed per location in two different colors.
“They’re selling fast!” she said.
She added that this was likely because “it’s a very common item for resellers who buy them all up and sell them for more money.”
Aldi’s Weekly Deals start on Wednesday and will be on shelves from September 4.
Get to your local Aldi soon, because you might just find some.
Bella recommended them to all her ‘fellow chefs and bakers’.
She had prepared her Aldi the day before, so she had already taken one for a friend.
She already had one and didn’t need a second one.
Last year she bought two, for herself and her father, and “they’re holding up so well.”
“I happened to be in the store last year when they came out and I was so excited I even bought one for my dad (who had also wanted one for a long time but couldn’t justify the price!),” she said.
She called it a “worthwhile purchase,” as many other brands of Dutch ovens are much more expensive.
“But the quality, in my opinion, is pretty close,” she added.
People on a budget often scour the shelves of thrift stores and sometimes come across affordable kitchen items, such as expensive Le Creuset sets.
She called herself a “poor student” and couldn’t imagine spending that much money on a kitchen item.
REDDIT REACTIONS
Many Redditors appreciated her sharing this money saving tip.
“Agreed!! Last year I bought the 6 qt model in dark blue and it is indispensable,” said one of them.
“Yes, that’s the one I have, I love it so much! I might switch to a dark green one, because it matches my kitchen color scheme,” she replied.
“I just wanted to let you know that this post inspired me to get one. I’ve been wanting a Dutch oven for ages but haven’t pulled the trigger yet… kind of like… uh… eighty bucks for a lodge?” wrote another.
The Redditor bought a green one after people told her it was a good product.
