The man, who claims to be the UK’s number one for Amazon FBA and earning money online, revealed that he cleared the shelves of the blankets.

He shared his clip to the video sharing platform with the caption ‘How I made £700 in 2 hours!’ and explained: “Last week I went into Aldi and saw these blankets at £25.
“I went into another Aldi but couldn’t find any, but it’s so important to not give up because I found more in the next Aldi.
“I then carried on and found even more.
“I bought every single one I could and then at the last Aldi I found a gold mine.
“I bought 21 of these for £25 each.
“Last week they were selling on Amazon for £72, which gave me £32 of profit per unit after fees.
“Times that by 25.”

Another sarcastically added: “Very good look in a cost of living crisis.”
A third commented: “Buying up all the electric blankets to sell them at a profit during a cost of living crisis when people can’t afford heating.”
Whilst another user noted: “So this is why I couldn’t find any of these blankets.”
