These Delicate Aldi Glass Pumpkins Look So Expensive — But They’re $20

Fall has officially arrived at Aldi, and fans of this iconic German grocery chain are going absolutely feral for the seasonal “finds” in their local stores. Aldi has rolled out so many great fall pieces in its famed “aisle of shame,” including gorgeous cookware that rivals the stuff from expensive brands you likely lust after on the regular. One such fall find is going viral on Instagram right now because it makes the perfect gift, centerpiece display, or baked-good storage — and the price simply can’t be beat.

“This. Is. Stunning,” Lucy from @lucy.cotton7 on Instagram said in a recent video. “I was looking at this $89 pumpkin cloche on Pottery Barn. I happened to go to Aldi for some milk and eggs and found this, which looks exactly like it, for $19.99.” She added in the caption, “Beautiful glass top, wood base — looks like the real thing. These will go fast!”

A cloche like the pumpkin one from Aldi can be used in so many ways throughout your home. One of the most traditional uses of a glass cloche is to house baked goods on the kitchen counter. The glass cover keeps your food safe from dust and debris, and helps the delicious confection stay fresh while at room temperature.

However, design pros (and antique style lovers!) know there are so many other ways you can use a decorative cloche. Lucy suggested using it as a hostess gift. You can assemble a charcuterie spread on the board for a fall gathering, making it a two-in-one. Or use it as a centerpiece display on your own table alongside some potted plants, faux foliage, pumpkins, and fairy lights inside. 

The thing about Aldi’s “aisle of shame” is that it’s nearly impossible to leave the limited finds section with just one thing. And alongside the glass pumpkin cloche is a bevvy of other beautiful pumpkin- and fall-themed cookware this month. Other standouts include mismatched pumpkin salt and pepper shakers, a textured pumpkin serving dish that looks more like something from a luxe French kitchen, a matching pumpkin casserole and butter dish, and even a cast iron Dutch oven that can be used year-round (proving you don’t have to spend hundreds to get a quality Dutch oven!).

Head over to your nearest Aldi to grab the glass pumpkin cloche and a few more of the store’s new fall items to fill out your kitchen. Your next fall gathering will leave your guests oohing and aahing — and they won’t believe all your pieces came from Aldi!
