Aldi $10 LIVE IN STYLE Water Bottle Holder Bag is a Dupe of $48 CALPAK Bag
This post is an open thread and contains affiliate links.
So many people carry water bottles around with them these days. While it’s good to stay hydrated, those water bottles can admittedly be awkward to carry, especially if you’re also juggling a backpack, purse, or other items.
Fortunately, Aldi is bringing back a popular water bottle holder bag in February of 2025. These handy $10 Aldi bags are dupes of name-brand CALPAK water bottle holders, which cost $48 on CALPAK’s website. The Aldi bags look so similar to the name brand that’s hard to tell them apart.
Both the CALPAK and Aldi bags have a main drawstring compartment that holds a lot of standard types of water bottles (but probably not one of those big Aldi Stanley knockoffs with the handles), and they have a pocket for holding other small items. They also feature a convenient carrying handle and an adjustable strap so you can carry the bag on your shoulder.
These are ideal for walks, days at the park, or any time you want a hands-free way to carry water — or your beverage of choice — with you.
What We Know:
Aldi originally sold the Serra Water Bottle Holder Bag (Product Code: 830753) in April of 2024. Aldi is bringing it back under its LIVE IN STYLE house brand for February of 2025. Despite the slight name difference, it’s the same bag. It’s scheduled to arrive in stores the week of February 5th, 2025.
This is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and once that’s gone, it’s gone. Aldi does not offer online ordering if this is sold out at your local store.
The Serra Water Bottle Holder Bag cost $9.99 in 2024, and it’s still $9.99 in 2025. That’s a fraction of the $48 price tag for a name-brand Calpak Water Bottle Holder. It’s also on the lower range of prices for other brands of water bottle holder bags I found on Amazon.
The 2025 bags are available in black, pink and mint green color block, navy tie dye, and rose. The color options are slightly different from 2024, with black being the only color Aldi has sold both years.
Aldi no longer shares detailed information about upcoming Aldi Finds (a decision we don’t like). However, here’s the information Aldi released about the 2024 bags:
- Features a drawstring main compartment
- Includes top carry handle
- Offers back pocket with elastic band
- Includes removable, adjustable shoulder strap
