The $7 Aldi Tote I’m Taking Everywhere This Spring (It Makes a Great Beach Bag!)
When the warm weather rolls around, it’s time to pull out the tote bags. Whether you pack them with a picnic blanket and book in case you want to hang out at the park or sunscreen and a towel for an impromptu beach day, they’re a necessary catchall. If you’re still in search of a bag for this season, head to the nearest Aldi. The retailer is selling a durable new tote in five colorways for just $7.
Serra City Tote
Featured in Aldi’s weekly finds flyer, this Sierra City Tote can carry all your essentials while on the go, whether you’re headed out of town for the day or to an evening concert in the park. It comes in five fun patterns: a splashy rainbow stripe, softer spring-inspired blue floral, vibrant pink-and-yellow lemons, a subtle beige print, and a tropical floral pattern.
The tote includes an interior pocket so you can safely tuck away your wallet and keys, and aluminum handles that are padded for extra comfort. It’s a fair-sized bag — measuring 17 inches wide, 9 inches deep, and 12 inches high — to ensure room for all the things you need throughout the day, including the bulkier items that can’t fit in your typical purse or flimsy tote.
Mesh Tote Handbag - Shade & Shore
Although their $7 price point is tough to beat, if you can’t make it to an Aldi, take a look at this $10 Target mesh tote handbag. The mesh design lets you see everything in your bag (so you can make sure you remembered that sunscreen at a glance) and it comes with front and side pockets for a little extra organizational support.
It has an average 5-star rating, with one reviewer saying, “It quickly became my favorite beach/pool bag ever!”
Whichever tote bag you snag, be sure to secure it before summer is here. That way you’ll be ready for all the farmers market visits, beach trips, long walks, and other sunny adventures — just grab your bag and go.
