Summer is my absolute favorite time of the year. The long sunny days never seem to end, and there is a palpable joy in the air. But the highlight of my summer is going to the pool. I absolutely adore pool days. I could get there at 10 AM and stay until 5 PM without batting an eye. Ever since I've owned a home, I've been begging my husband for us to figure out a way to have a decent-sized pool in the backyard. He has yet to fold.

However, he can't really say no to Aldi's latest summer find: a simple tanning pool perfect for lounging in the backyard.

The Crane Tanning Pool Lounge, officially arriving on May 20, is absolutely perfect for some casual R&R. Its simple inflatable design holds a shallow amount of water, keeping you cool while you bake in the summer sun. There is even a small inflatable pillow incorporated into the design for extra comfort. The lounger comes in pink, blue, and yellow, and is so affordable you could easily buy all three.

There are a ton of ways to enjoy your under-$20 Aldi find. You could:

  • Host a Girl's Day: Have friends pop by in their best bikinis and have a signature cocktail ready to sip on. You could even pick up a set of these Crofton 4 Pack Ombre Can Glasses ($6.99 at Aldi) to make it extra aesthetic.
  • Book and Bake: Do you need to catch up on your summer reading? This simple design allows you to lie out, prop your head up, and dive into your favorite reads all summer long.
  • Lounge on the Beach: Since it is inflatable, you could easily ditch the beach chair and live like royalty on the sand. Scoop up some saltwater and let the sound of the waves lull you into slumber while perched under the beach umbrella.
