This $20 Aldi Find Is the Ultimate Holiday Saver

Leftover food after a festive meal is one of the best parts of the holiday season. You put in the effort for one big cooking day, and then enjoy the fruits of your labor for days to come. If you can finish them off quickly, no problem. But when the leftovers start to pile up and you can't get to them right away, you're faced with two choices: let them spoil or freeze them.

No one likes throwing away food, especially after spending money on it—especially during the holiday season. With all the extra food from gatherings and dinners, it’s hard to find enough space in your freezer for everything, especially when leftovers come in bulky containers. And if you don't store them properly, freezer burn can set in before you have a chance to use them.

Aldi has just added a new item to its Aldi Finds section (the area dedicated to limited-time products) that could solve your leftover food problem—a vacuum food sealer.

What Is a Vacuum Food Sealer?

Oxygen is a key factor in food spoilage. A vacuum sealer removes the air around food inside a specially designed plastic bag and then seals it tightly. This process helps keep food fresh for a longer period. For instance, hard cheese can last 4 to 6 months in the fridge if vacuum sealed correctly, while semi-hard cheese lasts 1 to 2 months. Vacuum sealing can also extend the shelf life of meats, pasta, rice, snacks, vegetables, fruits, baked goods, and more.

As you shop at Aldi, picking up your favorite foods and wandering through the famous 'Aisle of Shame,' be on the lookout for the Ambiano Vacuum Food Sealer.

When you have leftover Thanksgiving meals (especially the ones you scored at Aldi for half price) and want to keep them fresh for upcoming holiday celebrations, the vacuum sealer makes it effortless. It helps you preserve both food and money, making it your go-to solution for holiday leftovers.
