‘It’s a must’ Aldi shopper raves after seeing the supermarket’s latest summer homeware
WITH two bank holidays this month, Aldi shoppers have searching for the best gardening buys.
If you are visiting the middle aisle soon, you’ll also want to grab these stunning homeware items that are part of the store’s Specialbuys.
As the countdown to summer is well underway, the German supermarket has released its Spring/Summer homeware range and shoppers are already obsessed.
With classic neutral tones and sage greens, the range looks more high-end than high street – despite most items costing less than a tenner.
Unsurprisingly, TikTok user Iniki MacColl couldn’t wait to share her favourite picks from her local Aldi.
Crofton Ice Lolly Mould, Ice Bucket and Ice Cube Box (£4.99 each)
First into her basket was the Crofton Ice Lolly Mould, which is perfect for keeping the family cool this summer.
Unlike other lolly makers, the clever pack comes with a clear plastic box that holds the frozen treats upright and reduces the amount of mess.
It also had pretty sage green parts, which adds a subtle pop of colour to your kitchen.
Even better, you could get a matching ice cube box with two compartments and an ice bucket with tongs in the same stunning shade.
As the items cost just £4.99 each, the content creator couldn’t wait to add them to her basket.
She later wrote in the caption: “I have the ice cube tray and can confirm it’s a must!”
However, that wasn’t the only Specialbuy she fell in love with.
White & Stone Effect Tableware (£7.99 each)
If you are cooking up a storm this summer, Aldi has the perfect tableware for you.
In her now-viral video, Iniki showed off some stunning white and stone tableware – which had a gorgeous spackle design.
Among her favourite finds was a cute set of two pasta bowls with contrasting brown and cream hues for £7.99.
She also found a matching serving bowl and ceramic jug for the same price.
Not only will these look great on your dinner table, all the items are microwave and dishwasher safe so you can use them for years to come.
Spring Mugs (£2.49 each)
For anyone who still needs to stock up on crockery, there were also adorable spring mugs for less than £3 each in the middle aisle.
Coming in cute charcoal grey, pale grey, green and terracotta shades, these little cups feature abstract designs that will add a touch of sophistication to your countertops.
As they are made from bone china, they are durable and can be easily hand-washed or put into the dishwasher once you are done with your cuppa.
However, the content creator settled on a sweet pale grey design with a curved pattern.
Needless to say, her followers were amazed with her bargain buys from Aldi.
One even admitted: “I saw this video and less than an hour later, I had bought the ice cube tray. There’s so much nice stuff in.”
Sadly, the Specialbuys are only on shelves for a limited time only so you’ll need to visit your local Aldi to avoid missing out.
When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store’s times by using the supermarket’s online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
