Aldi, the popular grocery chain, has recently added used folding boxes in the eurobox format to their inventory. These boxes, originally used for shipping fruits and vegetables, are now available for purchase at a very affordable price. As a self-proclaimed nerd, I couldn't resist giving you a short overview of my thoughts on these boxes.
Availibilty and price
First and foremost, let's talk about availability and price. The boxes are easily accessible in many shops across Germany, usually at the entrance or near the vegetables. Aldi offers the small (40x30x17cm) box for 4,99€ and the large (60x40cm) box for 6,99€.
Functionality and Quality
Now, let's dive into the quality and functionality of these boxes. While the colors may show their age, the boxes themselves are in excellent technical shape. They may not be the best fit for your living room decor (or be perfect if you like the vintage style), but they are incredibly practical. The boxes fold flat, even flatter than regular euroboxes from other brands. When folded, they are only around 3cm thick.
Unfolding and folding them again is a breeze, thanks to the one "button" press. The boxes also come with a holder for replaceable labels, making them even more user-friendly.
Conclusion
In conclusion, you really can't go wrong with these Aldi folding boxes. You get high-quality boxes at a competitive price, and you're also doing something good for the environment by using them instead of contributing to plastic waste.
Even if the boxes are overall in good shape, it's still a good idea to give them a quick check before loading them up.
So next time you're at Aldi, grab a few of these boxes and make your life a little easier!
