Storage Bench at Aldi

Lipstickdiva — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:30:44 GMT

I just received my weekly ad from Aldi yesterday and they have a storage bench listed for $19.99. I believe it is 30" long and the ad says it comes in various fabrics and colors.

I missed out on the TSV storage bench and I'm still kicking myself for it. I'm heading to Aldi after work tonight to see if my store has them in stock. I just need one for storing sheets.

@Lipstickdiva

Is this like the VPH ones or the FHE ones?

If so, beware of odor. I have a number of these and I store our throws in one in the family room. There is a 'new or chemical' smell to these and it doesn't go away (at least not totally) and it does transfer to the blankets, somewhat, unless they are washed or hung outside to air out.

Just a heads up if that might be an issue for you.

My post wasn't clear, I have the VPH and FHE ones, not the one from Aldi's. @Lipstickdiva

@Mominohio, these appear to be similar to the FHE storage benches but the ad didn't say what type of material it is. I don't know if they are cloth, faux suede or what. They don't look like they are faux leather.

Thanks for the warning about the odor. I'm hoping I can really inspect these before purchasing.

Oh my goodness, I didn't get my weekly ads until late last night and hadn't bothered to look through them yet . . . so many great things for the bedroom (that headboard is a steal!) . . . thanks everybody!

@ChiliPepper, yes. that would be the one. Thank you. It was hard to see in the tiny picture in my ad. LOL

@momtochloe, love the headboard but I don't think it came in a king did it? My bed is in front of windows now so I think it would be too tall anyhow but that did look like a steal.

I am also going to look at the mattress topper. We need one for our camper and since it won't get used that much, I don't want to spend a ton of money.

I have purchased the pillows before and they are quite nice for the price.

Bummer @Lipstickdiva as it looks like the headboard only comes in a full/queen according to my ad . . .

I bought one almost identical to it from Evine a few years ago when it was their TS for like $225 which was a good deal even back then so this is a steal . . . I may have to run over there just to see it!

I really love that storage ottoman and those storage bins with the grommets . . . just a great selection this week.

I purchased 6 of them from Aldi's. I have Valeries cube ones and these are definately the same thing and I stored my craft yarn and winter throws in them really organized and loving life no s/h either

Hi @TAZZIE and welcome to the boards! Thanks so much for your first hand input as it's truly appreciated. I really like that they come with a two year warranty . . . I love Aldi's!

@Lipstickdiva Take a look at Big Lots for the topper. My friend just bought a king size one for $119 and said she is in love with it. They probably have other sizes, too.

Hers is a Serta gel foam 3" topper. She also told me it does make her too warm while sleeping.

Thanks for the review. I didn't get over there last night because something came up. Now I won't be able to get there until tomorrow or Sunday. Hopefully they will still have them.

The storage bench at Aldi's sounds like a good deal! If I can get motivated, I might just go to Aldi's tomorrow to check it out.

Our Aldi's is way on the north side of town & I have never seen a thing in their ads that sounded like it would be worth the drive before.

Do you mean Aldi, the grocery store? Do all Aldis have them? In my town it started out that no one admitted to shopping there! Now, it's such a great place, no one hides it any more!

Big disappointment for me. I hit our local Aldi Saturday and they didn't have them. All they had left were the storage units with the individual cubes. I asked an SA and she told me they came in and walked me over to where she said they were then said they must have sold out. I suspect they never got them because there was no empty shelf space for them to be and there wasn't even a tag on a shelf for them either.

They also didn't have the headboards so I couldn't even look at those nor did they have the sheets. The SA told me they get one shipment in of things and that's it so if I missed them, I wouldn't have another chance. But I know that's not always the case. The sherpa throws that were advertised this week are a repeat. They had them last year because I bought 1 of them. I love it. They have also had those storage bins before because I bought 2 of those as well. Hopefully they'll get more of the benches.

Sorry @Imadickens I just saw this now and yes I do mean that Aldi's! They have great things (both edible and not intended to be edible) and I love their quality. I buy their footstuffs all the time but can also more than vouch for their electronics and weekly specials.

You made me laugh about not wanting to admit you even knew where an Aldi was . . . back in the day (before electronic scanners) the checkers would have to memorize the prices but to be honest it never slowed down the check out line but I do remember the days when no one wanted to own shopping there . . .
