Savvy grocery shoppers know that when it comes to great deals on groceries, Aldi delivers. The German supermarket chain utilizes some smart strategies to keep prices low: The stores are often small and minimal in design, and Aldi prioritizes private-label products to keep costs even more affordable. And notably, the chain saves money by not providing free shopping bags (bring your own!) or shopping carts.
Instead, to access the store's carts you'll need a quarter. In this digital age of tap-to-pay everywhere and Venmo lemonade stands, I don't always happen to have change on hand — and I have a feeling I'm not alone in that.
So when I heard about a product that allows me to skip the quarter altogether, I was intrigued. Writer Kristina Vänni shared her solution for the quarter dilemma with Cubby, and it couldn't be easier. Her under-$5 product is the perfect solution for when you need to make a quick Aldi run, but you don't have a quarter on hand. Now with this handy gadget in my pocket, I can pop by Aldi at a moment's notice — no more searching through my center console for one lone quarter! The solution comes in a pack of two, so I can also share one with my partner. Win-win!Read all about it: It Turns Out You Don't Need a Quarter for Aldi's Shopping Carts — Not if You Have This on Hand!
