Aldi’s middle aisles are treasure troves of homeware, clothes, toys and even appliances. As the supermarket is famously budget-friendly, it’s worth taking a look to see if you could save on any items on your wishlist.
Keen cooks will be pleased to know Aldi’s cast iron Le Creuset alternatives are making a return (available in stores from 29 January), with adorable editions for Valentine’s Day. In her review of Aldi’s previous range of cast iron pots, our tester declared that there was “little difference in the performance” of Aldi and Le Creuset’s versions, despite the £200 price difference.
When it comes to the supermarket’s Specialbuys on offer right now, you’ll find candles, bedding sets, colouring books and more. As Aldi doesn’t offer online shopping, you’ll need to pick up these deals in-store.
We know the weekly shop can be a stressful outing, especially with kids in tow, so we’re here to help you put together your shopping list before you head out. Keep scrolling to find out more about the top Specialbuy offers available this month – but remember, once they’re gone, they’re gone.
