If you like Sistema Soup Mugs, run to Aldi's!

I am so tickled that I found these! What a deal---$2.99 each and no shipping! They have lots of colors and are made in New Zealand (not China). I bought 6 red ones and will fill with goodies for Valentine's gifts, plus bought more in other colors for myself. Showed my husband, and he had never heard of them before, and thought they were such a clever idea--something everyone can use. (I had heard that they had mugs at TJMaxx at a great price, but this deal is the bomb!)

I bought one at BBB, paid more than you did but did have a coupon. I haven't used it yet, want to see how well it cooks oatmeal. Hopefully no spillover. Will have to check-out Aldi's, we have one but I don't get over there very often.

They really are great for soup because you can put the whole can in there and save what you don't eat easily. Shoprite here in NJ has some on special this week too not at the store I went to though

I have one also I got at Marshalls. Yes oatmeal does spew over. But otherwise I love using it. Also be careful of anything with red sauce it does stain the inside. I read the instructions after using it for tomato soup. It recommended cooking spray with anything red base. The stain doesn't bother me I'm the only one using it. Mine's teal.

Yes, Aldi's has all kind of 'get healthy' stuff this week. Juicers, exercise equipment, diet foods, etc. The Systema cups are $3. I have the Aldi's app on my tablet/smart phone. They will tell you the upcoming specials, give great recipes, etc.

I bought a couple at Tjmaxx. One was a salad bowl with a little cup for salad dressing and the other has plastic utensils that snap into the lid. Definitely can't beat $2.99 for a cup though.

I saw your post about a week or so ago and remembered it today when I went by my local Aldi's store. I went in there and just had the best time looking at everything. I can always count on Aldi's for good prices and different and great products. I purchased five of the Sistema soup mugs. You are right, lots of great colors and the same 22-0z ones that the Q sells in sets of four for more money and then there is shipping costs. Thanks for the original posting of this. I sure took advantage of it and am glad I did!!

OMG! Thanks for the heads up! We absolutely love these things. I started out by buying two of them, one for myself and one for DD for us to take our lunches in everyday. Found out after just a couple days that two wasn't enough and got three more. I'll be heading to Aldi tomorrow in hopes of buying several more!!

They also had a neat little lunch cube for the same price:

You can put a sandwich on one side, which is then covered up, and the other side is divided in two for chips or salad or whatever.

Another good deal they have right now is the large, family size George Foreman grill for $29.99.

Thanks, Ladies! Now that I finally have them, I'm using them constantly and loving the "peace of mind" of no BLOW-UPS in the microwave. I put a whole can of corn in a mug (with plenty of room to spare) and drained most of the juice. After 2 minutes, the corn was just perfect! I think it cooks a little quicker in the mug and reaches all the layers---no cold spots. So easy!

Can anyone tell me what these mugs are? Are they plastic? My husband makes his oatmeal in the microwave and I am looking for something new.

I think oatmeal always cooks over in any container, stopping the cooking halfway and stirring might help

Aldi's has really good chicken salad. There is one just labeled Chicken Salad,and another one with Cranberries and Almonds. Both are really good.

SO glad I saw this bc I was gonna create a thread myself! I just got back from Aldi. Once I saw it in the paper, I knew if I didn't get out there today, they'd probably be gone by Sunday. That's how things go at the Aldi here in my area of KY. As I was picking through the colors, a lady came up and asked me about the mug. After explaining, she ended up buying a couple of them! At my location, they have 3 colors: light blue, hot pink & purple. I liked it bc they had the exact same colors in the lunch containers. GREAT FIND! I tucked those jokers into my TT polka-dot bag and pranced on outta there knowing i'd gotten a good deal!

I hit submit before I mentioned this...YES, the chicken salad is to DIE FOR! A friend turned me on to it. I'd passed it several times & thought nothing of it. When we got it, I had to take it away from hubby bc he was eating out of the container w/a spoon!

I went to our brand new Aldi's last night. SO excited to have one close by. I did get two of the mugs. They are smaller than the ones QVC sells. The ones I got were 22 oz and the Q's are 32oz I think. Still a great cup to heat up soup in the micro.

Just doubled check- the Q has both sizes, 22.8 and 32. So we got a great deal not having to pay for shipping.
