Shoppers don’t just love German discount superstore Aldi for its groceries — the budget grocer has some truly stellar storage products hiding throughout the store that you probably didn’t even know you needed. I mean, have you seen these bamboo drawer organizers? (Although, I’d be remiss not to mention their delicious food finds like the newest giant pizza cookie and espresso martini cocktail mix.)

And when it comes to lifestyle finds, Aldi fans’ latest obsession is the brand-new Crofton Fridge Storage with Colanders that will definitely take your refrigerator to a whole new level. Available in gray or white, the set comes with one large container with a lid and either a package of two smaller individual colanders or one large colander. These gems are hand-wash only, but at $4.99 you can’t pass up on this deal.

The colanders are the perfect place to store fruit like berries or grapes so the moisture can seep out the bottom, staying fresh underneath the tight locking lid. Simply wash them directly in the colander, then place them back in the bin. The same goes for vegetables like baby tomatoes, carrots, and broccoli. You can certainly grab a couple of different ones and stack them — not to mention you won’t have any produce residue leaking in your fridge.

We can all use more space in our refrigerator, so this may be just what you need to make that happen. Plus, because your fruits and veggies will last longer, these containers will hopefully also help prevent food waste, saving you both time and money. Are you sold yet? Fans anticipate this limited-edition Aldi Find will sell out as quickly as it arrived, so grab one (or two, or three!) while you can.
