ALDI has just released one of its most affordable ranges yet

When it comes to being sustainably friendly, it can be a difficult process to transition into. Everywhere around us, plastic and bad habits surround us that mean consuming less plastic and doing our bit to help the environment can be a difficult feat.

However, ALDI is making it one step easier with its latest Special Buys range that is launching this Saturday.

The German supermarket is releasing a set of reusable products that we often consider to be single-use plastic items found in the kitchen – meaning what you’re used to throwing in the bin after only one or two uses can be re-used over and over again.

Not only is this range going to be a perfect investment for the future, it means you’re helping the environment.

ALDI shoppers can get a three-pack of reusable stretch lids for just $3.99 and they are a great substitute for plastic cling wrap as they provide an airtight seal over bowls and plates.

If you’re looking for a way to further minimise your plastic use, silicone stretch pods and sandwich and snack bags will be available for $3.99 each – the best part is all they require is a simple rinse and wipe, so you’ll be able reuse the items again in no time.

Shoppers can also switch out their plastic straws with stainless steel straws, where a pack of five costs $3.49 with a cleaning brush included.

Further, those who like to carry their lunch with them to eat later at work, or while they’re running errands, can invest in the $7.99 steel lunchboxes, and once and for all ditch takeaway plastic containers.

ALDI customers can also get their hands on a bench-top composter for $19.99, a travel mug for $8 and an organic cotton grocery bag for $7.99.

The items are launching this Saturday June 22 as always, it is important to keep in mind that Special Buys items are strictly limited – so you better get in fast!
