Intentional finance. Intentional family. Intentional business.

Never show up at ALDI without a quarter again!

Do you ever show up to ALDI and then realize you don’t have a quarter for the cart? Or you have to spend five minutes digging through your purse and car to try to find one?

Well, Christen sent me the above picture and I thought it was the best idea ever! You can just keep an ALDI quarter on your key chain and you never have to look for a quarter again!

The ALDI Quarter Key Chain is available from this Etsy seller here.

There are some other similar ALDI Quarter Key Chain options here and here.

Do you have any creative ways that you always make sure you have a quarter on hand to use for a cart at ALDI?
