Just in time for Christmas, ALDI has released their latest Special Buy item, and it's proving to be extremely popular with those who love throwing a celebration but don't want the hassle of preparing a heavy meal.
On Saturday, 17 December, the grocery chain's new and improved food platters hit the aisles – and shoppers wasted no time jumping in to grab one for themselves.
Available for $20 a piece, ALDI's Ice Base Serving Platters come complete with four removable compartments, eight sections, a dip holder, a lid, and an ice base to keep food cool.
It's also available in either a circle or a rectangle shape – so whatever the size or occasion of your platter, ALDI has it covered! And don't worry, it's made from BPA-free plastic material, so it's definitely safe for food use.
The serving platter was such a hit that one woman, who had been wanting to build a charcuterie board for Christmas lunch, couldn't contain her excitement after finding the item online.
'Forget doing a roast Christmas lunch when no one helps me. This year I'm doing a giant charcuterie board,' she said. 'Got two of these [platters], they'll do the trick nicely. I got them from the magical middle aisle today!'
The idea of a charcuterie board is relatively new but an extremely popular one. Perfect for this time of year, charcuterie boards are simply a feast of cheese and cured meats, a variety of crackers and slices of bread, condiments, olives and pickles, dried and fresh fruit, nuts, and more.
It's festive, it's customisable, and it requires a lot less fuss than a traditional Christmas lunch – something that everyone here can surely get behind.
Platters like this can be used to assemble your board and transport it around. Best of all, the ice base will keep your food cool and safe!
Members, if you're interested in picking up the new ALDI food platter for yourself or as a gift, we suggest getting in quick – supplies are expected to run out fast!
Also, here's a quick guide for making your own charcuterie board at home.
