Aldi's $10 Travel Essential Is a Must-Have for Pet Play Dates
Life with pets is a never-ending adventure. And if you have the type of pet that loves being outside, those adventures get even more exciting. But as much as we enjoy time spent with our furry little friends, there are always a handful of essentials needed for every outdoor excursion, whether it's a day at the park or a road trip to visit family.
Thankfully, your local Aldi has the perfect way to keep everything in one place for you and your dog or cat, like the LS LIVE IN STYLE Soft Sided Basket Cooler. Retailing for just $9.99 and designed to keep food and beverage staples cool and protected for hours at a time, it just so happens to also double as a convenient pet tote, one that's capable of packing fresh dog food, treats and more.

LS LIVE IN STYLE Soft Sided Basket Cooler, $9.99 at Aldi
Currently in stores only for a limited time, the LS LIVE IN STYLE Soft Sided Basket Cooler is available in four colors, including Blue Colorblock, Green Floral, Black and White Checker and Pink Stripe. Each one just as cute and practical as the next, they're all made with a lightweight aluminum frame and handle, EVA padding, extra pockets and a fully insulated interior for keeping essentials inside cool and protected for hours at a time.
Aside from its spacious design, this cooler also collapses flat for easy storage between uses, with a 2-inch thickness that makes it a breeze to tuck away in a closet, trunk or cabinet when not in use. And with four plastic feet on the bottom for grip and a front zipper pocket that could fit waste bags, treats and more, this sucker is more than ready for any adventure with your furry friend.

As for its exact size and footprint, Aldi is being a bit secretive on that front, though it looks to be similar in size to your average grocery store basket, if that helps you eyeball it a bit better. That said, it does feature a full 360-degree zippered top lid that can be opened from either end to accommodate larger loads inside. And thanks to the EVA padding on the aluminum handle, your hand stays comfortable and protected while carrying the basket around.
If you're thinking about snagging one for yourself, don't wait too long to head to your local store, as supplies are already starting to dwindle. While you're there, you'll also want to check out Aldi's Watermelon Cooling Dog Toy and Collapsible Pet Pool for more must-have summer essentials.
