Stanley cups are the latest trend in portable drinkware, following Hydro Flask and Yeti to become the newest hydration trend in peoples’ hearts. However, the brand can be seen as expensive—that is, unless you’re willing to pick up a dupe instead!
We love Stanley cups, but if they’re a little cost-prohibitive for you despite loving the look (the new Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Stanley collection at Target is around $45 a pop), we found the perfect dupe at Aldi that will help keep you quenched on the go without clearing out your wallet!
Stanley Cups Are The Latest Drinkware Trend
Shoppers everyone have been going crazy for Stanley's line of drinkware, with big names like Joanna Gaines teaming up with the company to create their own spins on the product. Joanna's recent Target-exclusive line under the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia brand released their own range of special colors in the viral 40 oz. Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler model and the 1.5 qt. Classic Legendary bottle. The former has been unveiled in 6 brand-new colors: Sour Cream, Serene Green, Basic Brown, Peat Moss, Twilight Taupe, and Navy Voyage. The latter comes in 4 new colors: Railroad Gray, Navy Voyage with Toasted Almond, Peat Moss with Basic Brown, and a plaid print called Sour Cream Stripe. The line officially dropped on July 30th online and in Target stores.
The 40 oz. FlowState Tumblr became a hit on TikTok in 2021, and the brand has been seeing big sales ever since. Many say it's the best tumbler out there for keeping drinks cold for long periods of time, and of course, with trendy colors like these muted options from Joanna Gaines, it's possible to stay stylish while also staying hydrated. But if you find $45 per 40 oz. tumbler cost-prohibitive, a number of Stanley "dupes" have appeared on the market to fill the gap, including the latest option from Aldi that boasts a mere $10 price tag!
Stanley Dupes Help Save Money; Newest Aldi Option Only $10
Aldi's new Crofton 40 oz. Thirst Crusher Tumbler will be hitting stores nationwide on August 30, and will be available in 4 similarly trendy muted colors: Blue, Flint Gray, Cream, and Charcoal. According to Mashed, the dupe has been a long time coming, with many Aldi fans begging the retailer specifically for a Stanley cup dupe. An earlier version of the product received praise on the Aldi Aisle of Shame Facebook group, with members calling it "1000000% spill proof" and well-insulated.
If you don't have an Aldi around you, there are still several options if you're hoping to save some $$ on a Stanley dupe. Simple Modern has a slightly cheaper version at $30 that offers some muted colors as well as pastels, neons, and gorgeous prints. There's even a dupe at Target from Owala that has become a favorite with its brighter, more whimsical palette—though still coming in at $38. For our money, the best price on a functional, visually similar Stanley dupe looks to be Aldi's version...so if you're looking to snag your own, hit your local Aldi on August 30th to pick one up!
