Bargain supermarket brings back ‘cult classic’ item ideal for summer & beach days – and it’s half the price of Asda
A BARGAIN supermarket is selling a ‘cult classic’ item perfect for balmy summer days by the beach.
Aldi’s Crane Inflatable Kayak sold like hot cakes when they went on sale a few years ago, but they will be back again and available to buy from the beloved outlet from next Sunday.
The water-sport favourite is expected to sell fast as Brits gear up for summer staycations.
At £49.99 a pop, the eye-catching item is cheaper than it would be at rival retailer Asda.
The kayak can fit two adults and comes with a double paddle, and a waterproof storage bag.
“Take yourself on a wonderful adventure with this Crane Inflatable 2 Person Kayak,” the item’s online description reads.
“This kayak has two main chambers for two adults, and comes with a double paddle, waterproof storage bag and match bag, making it ideal for days out on the lake with a loved one.”
Helpfully, the summer gadget is incredibly durable and salt water resistant.
All of the items are Specialbuys which means, once they are gone, they’re gone.
You’ll find the items in the middle aisle at your local Aldi.
Among the items on sale this week are solar bubble string lights, which Aldi says are perfect for decorating outdoor spaces.
They cost £9.99 with 20 bulbs along the eight metre string.
Aldi is also selling a £19.99 camping tarp for extending your tent or caravan space.
It can be used as a rain or sun shelter and includes assembly ropes and tent pegs.
Not only that but the discounter is also selling a whole host of items to help sleeping in a tent feel a little more cosy.
You can grab a sleeping bag with an integrated hood for £16.99.
There are also sleepsuits for £39.99 that have covered openings for feet.
An inflatable sofa will set you back £24.99 and can fit two people.
You can browse the full list range on the Aldi website but you can only buy the items in store.
As always make sure you compare prices and shop around for the best deal.
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
You can do this using tools like Google Shopping, and keep an eye out for the latest deals on sites like HotUKDeals.
If you are unsure where your nearest Aldi is you can put your postcode into the store locator tool on the retailer’s website.
Aldi shoppers haven’t been able get enough of a “lovely” middle aisle bargain that’s scanning for £10 and ideal for your garden.
Plus, one middle aisle product in particular has got shoppers rushing to their nearest Aldi store – a Zero In magnetic door curtain.
The nifty gadget attaches to your door and keeps flying insects and bugs out of your home all the while letting air flow through.
