Aldi has launched a beer pump that recreates the pub experience at home for Father’s Day – and it could save you £100
FATHER’S DAY is next month, but most of us still aren’t sure what to buy our dads.
If you are trying to avoid the same tired gifts as last year, Aldi have an upcoming Specialbuy that would make any dad’s day.
For those that haven’t got anything planned for June 16, you might want to stop off at the German supermarket before then.
This is because the discount store is launching a brand new beer pump that will transformed your standard pint into a fresh draught in seconds.
If you still weren’t sold, Aldi also claim that the dispenser has ‘foam-creating technology’ which guarantees the perfect pint every time. (Yes, really)
The nifty gadget also comes in a sleek chrome and black design that will look great in the kitchen – or in a man cave.
As with all Specialbuys, we reckon this Father’s Day gift won’t stay on shelves for long – especially as it could save you and your doting dad a small fortune.
According to the supermarket, the most beer dispensers can cost between £50 – £120, a price that most of us would get fizzed up about.
Comparing Lakeland Fizzic Draftpour (£129.99) with the Aldi alternative, it is an absolute steal as this middle aisle buy is just £24.99. (Yes, you read that right.)
For those that haven’t done the maths, that is a saving of £105 on a gift that your dad will be more than hoppy to get this Father’s Day.
Before you fizz over with excitement, it’s worth noting that Aldi’s beer dispenser will go on sale from June 2 onwards.
At that price, we are sure that this SpecialBuy will sell out so you’ll need to visit your local store to avoid disappointment.
If your dad isn’t fan of beer, don’t despair though as the supermarket has tons of gifts that will put a smile on his face.
For those that love a bit of classic rock, the supermarket also has band t-shirts featuring heavy-weights of hard rock.
These include AC/DC tees in hues of grey or white and orange, which are perfect if your dad is getting back into gigs this summer.
Alternatively, you can pick a Pink Floyd t-shirt featuring the band’s iconic The Dark Side of The Moon album cover.
As these £5.99 t-shirts are meant to hit stores on May 23, you should be able to find them in the middle aisle.
There are also classic men’s cargo shorts (£6.99) and packs of men’s socks for £4.99, which are perfect filler gifts if yours get lost in the post.
With these Specialbuys hitting shelves in the next few weeks, it seems you are all set for this Father Day’s – even if you have the pickiest person to buy for.
Who knew gift giving was this easy?
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
