One of the best shopping hacks to save money is shopping "dupes" from the rotating weekly Aldi Finds section. This week brings a woven storage trunk that looks identical to the version offered by many upscale furniture stores, such as Pottery Barn — but is marked over $50 lower. See how it compares to the pricier versions from other stores.

Huntington Home Collapsible Trunk
Price: $19.99
Aldi's storage trunk is hand-woven from natural water hyacinth and offers a collapsible design for convenient storage when not in use. Water hyacinth is one of the fastest-growing plants, making it ecologically sustainable for use in woven products. It measures 22 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 13 inches tall.
Hudson Woven Trunk
Price: $79
Pottery Barn's storage trunk features a metal frame rather than a collapsible style but is woven with the same type of water hyacinth fibers. It's about an inch bigger on every side and has a maximum weight capacity of 22 pounds.
Tolkning
Price: $39.99
Ikea's similar-but-not-quite-dupe option is a basket woven from rattan that measures in at a smaller 20 inches by 17 inches by 7 1/2 inches. It's lined with fabric and has a handle that gives it a suitcase-style rather than trunk-style.
Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Bottom line
If you've been longing for an elegant woven trunk to elevate your storage solutions, then you'll want to make sure you grab one from Aldi on Wednesday, Oct. 9, to save the most money shopping. Don't wait to grab the furniture in Aldi Finds because they often fly off the shelves and sell out quickly.
