Cut Down On Your Meal Prep Time With This $9.99 Aldi Kitchen Find

Aldi is well known for its discounted groceries, store-branded products that often rival big brand names, and its ever-rotating Aldi Finds section. This portion of the store is where shoppers can find exciting gadgets, tools, decor items, food, and more, but they never usually last long and get snapped up quickly. This is because these items run on limited releases, so once they're gone, they're unlikely to get restocked anytime soon. That said, you'll want to pop over to your local Aldi to check out one of its latest Aldi Finds addition, the Crofton Compact Multi-Function Chopper.

This item will cost you $9.99 and comes in two different colors, cream and green. But the kitchen gadget is not just visually pleasing; it also offers up a variety of useful panels, each fitted with different slicing components which settle directly over the base container. The attachments include slicer, shredder, and grater blades (useful for cheeses or shredding vegetables), as well as a grater panel. That isn't all, you'll also find that the base doubles as a colander and features an anti-slip layer, making it safe and secure to use. 

This Crofton chopper is one Aldi Find that will save you loads of time while you cook, making meal prep a breeze. You can slice, grate, and shred your ingredients back to back, simply sliding the blades on and off from the base. You can also use the same base to catch each of your components instead of having to repeatedly swap out different knives, bowls, and other dishes. Therefore, you'll save time on multiple fronts — both on the food prep itself and also the cleanup, which is arguably the most daunting part. 

For those who are hoping to snag this gadget the next time you visit your local store, avoid shopping at Aldi on the absolute worst days and instead note the days on which the Aldi Finds sections are generally restocked: it's either Wednesday or Sunday. You may feel hesitant to add the Crofton chopper to your seemingly never-ending collection of kitchen gadgets, especially considering how many components it includes. But this item is not only efficient, its compact. The different features easily fit together in the base container, making for simple storage that won't further clutter up your kitchen cabinets. And to add yet another reason to get your hands on this limited item, each of the various components are dishwasher safe, making it even more time convenient.

Having already hit stores on October 29, the chopper joins one of the final roundups of exciting releases that arrived in Aldi stores throughout the month of October. If you happen to get lucky and come across this gadget, make sure you add it to your cart immediately. Odds are it will have vanished from shelves the next time you do your grocery shopping.
