These ALDI Picnic Hampers Will Feed 5 for under $25

There’s light at the end of this pandemic tunnel and it’s… picnics! Which means delicious picnic hampers. Thanks to some relaxed restrictions in Sydney and Melbourne, fully vaccinated groups of up to five people can gather in public outdoor spaces for some cheese and biccies.

Firstly, this doesn’t apply to all areas — at the moment in Sydney it’s only eligible for residents outside the LGAs of concern. And in Melbourne, you’re still not aloud to consume alcohol in public spaces.

With all that in mind, the folks at ALDI have put together a collection of “5 for $25” guides for building your picnic hamper, filled with sweet and savoury goodies to feed five people for under $25. And of course there’s wine (Melbournians might want to swap that out for a nice juice to avoid getting fined).

“We source our products from the finest cheese-makers in Australia and across the world and are proud of our quality line up.” ALDI’s buying director Shane Aitken said.

“I couldn’t think of anything better than placing quality cheese at the center of a picnic platter to enjoy with friends or family outdoors. We have put together some great value, tasty options to look out for during your next ALDI shop, with all the cheeses under $5.”

So grab your picnic baskets and let’s get started!

Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese

ALDI’s Emporium Selection Smooth Blue Cheese was recently voted a firm favourite in the 2021 People’s Picks competition. This soft and creamy blue veined cheese has a sharp, distinctive finish.
