You’re in luck. Regular Aldi shoppers can usually find items that look classy — even expensive — for a low price. And summertime is no exception. MoneyLion went browsing through a local Aldi store and found summer picks that look fancy enough to cost $50 each but actually cost less than $10.

1. KIRKTON HOUSE Orchid Cold Cap
Price: $7.99
When the heat is beating down and your whole head is coated with sweat, you’d probably pay your weight in gold for something to relieve your suffering. But for less than $10, you can get one of these chic cold caps from Aldi.
Available in lovely orchid, black, green and blue, these caps look like they belong on the shelves of a health and wellness boutique, but they’re at Aldi.
2. KIRKTON HOUSE 3-Wick Candle Mahogany Sandalwood
Price: $5.49
Ideally, you wouldn’t spend $50 on a candle, but at stores like Williams-Sonoma, you’ll certainly pay more than $5.49 for a three-wick candle with a luxurious seasonal scent of sandalwood (try saying that three times fast). This candle can make a cozy addition to your home or add ambiance to your patio.
3. Lacura Day Cream
Price: $4.19
Keeping your skin moisturized in the summer isn’t always easy or stylish — and it often isn’t cheap. This day cream promises to remedy those issues through its combination of bioflavonoids and coenzyme Q10. It comes fragrance-free, and its manufacturer says it’s suitable for all skin types.
4. Bake Shop Cheesecake Sampler
Price: $5.49
If you want to be the belle of the barbecue this summer, you could do far worse than bringing a sampler of cheesecakes. At other grocery stores and retailers like Costco, these samplers will usually cost well over $5.49.
This platter comes with eight slices, including New York-style, strawberry swirl, turtle and triple chocolate. If you wanted to sneak a few pieces to keep at home, we wouldn’t blame you.
