Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on June 20, 2024 Close Photo: Dotdash Meredith / Janet Maples Summer is officially here, along with all the outdoor fun it brings, from barbecues with friends to breezy beach hangouts, picnics in the park, and of course road trips to destinations near and far. Packing food for these excursions can be an adventure in and of itself, especially if you’re assembling a mix of items, from snacks that need to be kept cool to fragile bags of chips and accessories like picnic blankets, plates, and napkins. Enter Aldi, with yet another genius find for the best summer ever. Like so many of its life-changing products, this one is located in the Aldi Finds section, otherwise lovingly known as the “aisle of shame.” It’s only $13 and is guaranteed to make packing food for your summer excursions easier than ever. Aldi Just Released a Must-Have Car Organizer With a Detachable Cooler Aldi/Allrecipes This week, Aldi launched its Auto XS Trunk Organizer with Cooler for an Aldi Find that is ideal for any summer road trip. Starting today until June 25, you can grab one of these organizers for just $12.99. It’s made of durable polyester and is available in three colors: black, gray, or navy stripe. The organizer consists of three compartments, including a detachable cooler that can keep food cool for up to six hours. It also features exterior mesh pockets to hold smaller items, like utensils or snacks for on-the-go, along with easy-to-grip handles to carry it where you need to go. It can also be fastened directly to your trunk so everything stays put while traveling. Plus, when you’re not using it, the organizer folds up easily so you can stow it without it taking up too much space. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
