Meal planning and prepping can seem like quite the chore, especially when you already have a laundry list of things to complete before the work week starts. Preparing numerous dishes and snacks for yourself and the family for the coming days can seem daunting, not to mention tracking down containers with matching lids to store them.
Well, that’s where Aldi comes into play. They consistently offer a wide variety of meal prep containers in various shapes, styles and colors. This week, they’re dropping the Crofton Glass Meal Prep Container Set that comes with 4 rectangular glass containers with blue or lilac lids.
Good-quality glass meal prep containers can be expensive, but luckily Aldi is here to save your pocketbook with a stellar deal on this set. For just $7.99, you could grab a few sets to create an entire collection. They’re suitable not only for meal prepping, but for storing leftovers and marinating meats and vegetables.
Because the glass containers (not the lids) are microwave safe, you can use them to reheat foods as well. But they’re perfectly acceptable to use for no-cook or cold lunch items, too, like sandwiches and salads.

While the lids are dishwasher safe and freezer safe, to promote longetivity in them, it may be wise to hand wash them, or only put them on the top rack of your dishwasher. Not just for Aldi brand, but for any brand of food storage containers, a common complaint is the plastic lids crack. By taking this small step to take extra care of them, the lids will last much longer.
Starting October 22, the same day these meal prep containers drop, you’ll also be able to find a slew of new kitchenware on the Aldi Finds shelves. They’ll have a glass meal prep bowl set, also in blue and lilac, as well as silicone baking mats, measuring cups, fan-favorite Awesome Pots, baking sheet sets, glass baking dish sets, cooling racks, a cast iron pizza pan and mini ceramic baking dishes.

But don’t wait on it – these Aldi Finds are extremely popular and tend to sell out quickly; especially the meal prep and baking items, given more people spend time in the kitchen this time of year.
As an added bonus, you can order these meal prep containers, along with your entire grocery haul, for curbside pickup at any Aldi store, or order through Instacart. Since you’ll be spending some time meal prepping this week, using your new glass containers, you’ll want to save that extra time with grocery pickup or delivery. Your future self will thank you.
