Aldi shoppers rush to buy garden essentials scanning for just 29p that are perfect for entertaining kids
ALDI shoppers are rushing to their local stores to snap up some garden essentials that are currently scanning for just 29p – and will be perfect to keep the kids entertained.
A bargain hunter went online to spread the word about the deal, revealing the discount supermarket was selling a paddling pool for less than 30p.
The canny shopper also told the members of the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook that the store was selling shoes for just 99p as well.
Other members of the group were also able to take advantage of the offer.
One person wrote: “Grabbed a few today so cheap!”
While another said: “Only had two pairs sliders left in mine luckily were mine and my daughter’s size 99p each.”
Although it would appear the offer wasn’t available in every Aldi outlet.
One user of the site posted: “Nothing in ours.”
While another added: “Not in mine.”
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest one by using the locator tool on the supermarket’s website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
It comes as Aldi bargain hunters were also rushing out to get their hands on a dupe for a popular Cadbury’s dessert.
Dairyfine Pots of Choc, Aldi’s version of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Pots of Joy, are described as a “smooth and creamy dessert”.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
