Ready to be the director of your own personal summer movie? Aldi’s director’s chair — available in blue or gray — will have you calling the shots in the sun! It features a stowable side table with a cup and phone holder, so it’s perfect for watching outdoor movies, camping or just relaxing in the backyard, Tarantino-style!

Sunshade Sail

Create a shady oasis in your backyard without breaking the bank. Aldi has a sunshade available in cream or gray, and it features water-repellent UV protection. It’s one of the least expensive ways to bring some much needed shade to your outdoor space during hot summer days.

Mini Beach Tote

• Price: $13

It’s summer, which means it’s tote weather — and Aldi’s durable mini beach totes are perfect for carting around all your sunblock and summer reads. Bonus points: They have drainage holes for sand! At this price, you’ll want them for the whole family.

Inflatable Pool

Be the house to party at this summer with super fun inflatable pools. Aldi has two great options: a 10-foot long rectangular pool for $25 or a 10-foot round pool with a filter system for $35. They’re both great for cooling down on hot days — and will make you the most popular house on the block. 

Ice Cream Treats
