How Does Aldi's Snackle Box Dupe Compare To The Sold-Out Original?

Sometimes picking a favorite store feels like picking a favorite child: You say you love them all equally, but be honest, there's always one that has your heart more than the rest. For many, it seems Aldi is creeping up as the favorite spot for good deals as well as dupes. Whether it's become your guilty pleasure or you just really like finding better priced versions of trending items, there's no denying Aldi has a lot to offer. From the dupe of this popular toilet companion to stylish new storage bins, you can usually find what you need on their shelves. So it probably comes as no surprise that the coveted Snackle Boxes have an Aldi counterpart for a fraction of the cost. The biggest question is always: Can it hold up to the name brand version? In this case it seems like despite a smaller size, the dupe is just as good as the original and way more budget-friendly.

So what can you expect from Aldi's version, and how does it compare to the official Snackle box? The price is one of the biggest comparisons. Where Snackle Boxes cost $34.99 on the official website, Aldi's Crofton dupe is only $7.99. You could buy three of these and get even more storage than the single name brand version, which is especially helpful if you have multiple kids or family members you are snack prepping for. There is a Snackle Box Jr., which has the same number of compartments as the Aldi brand, but it's still over double the price — making the latter a better deal.

This does lead to the biggest difference between the two. Aldi's snack box does only feature nine compartments, while Snackle Box has space for up to 12 compartments and removable dividers to choose how large or small you want each square. The dividers in the Crofton box at ALDI can also be taken out, but can't be adjusted. Regardless, despite having fewer squares, you could buy multiple boxes to accommodate more snacks.

Lastly, the security of the two holders is worth comparing. Because it is bigger, Snackle Box has two clips on the front and two at the side that keep the food inside secure and in place. However, as it is more of a rectangle shape, this makes sense for that design. The Aldi box is a square, so there is one clasp on each side. This offers the same security as the name brand so you don't have to worry about any treats falling out. Overall, it seems for the price, this dupe is definitely worth the brand swap. Just add this to your collection of Aldi's affordable and versatile storage solutions!
