This week’s Aldi middle aisle buys that will transform your home for cheap – from £15 ‘glossy’ tables to trendy £5 vases
ALDI is about to make having a trendy home even more affordable.
The budget supermarket is introducing a plethora of chic homeware and furnishings for this week’s Specialbuys.
Aldi Specialbuys are bi-weekly collections of, well, special products.
The German supermarket drops them in the iconic middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday.
Unlike the rest of the store, which offers a consistent range of groceries and household essentials, the middle aisle is an ever-changing treasure trove.
From week to week, you never quite know what you’ll find, and that’s precisely the allure.
On Thursday 27 June, you will find stylish homeware to immediately give your home a glow-up.
There’s new Kirkton House Gloss Side Tables for £14.99 in either cream or grey.
“This stylish and functional piece of furniture is exactly what your room needs,” Aldi bosses said.
“With a gloss finish top, this table will add a touch of luxury to your home.
“Top tip: pick up two to use as bedside tables!”
New Kirkton House Textured Vase Sets are just £4.99 each.
“Introduce contemporary style into your home with these,” Aldi bosses said.
“These stylish vases, in a neutral colour, will look great in almost any room.
“They are perfect for filling with flowers or pampass grass.”
You can pick up the funky-shaped vases in beige, grey or cream.
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
These pair well with the brand new Kirkton House Ochre Leaf Plant Pots, which are just £3.99 each, to bring a touch of nature inside.
You’ll also find diffusers for as cheap as £2.89 and plush candles for £3.49.
By way of functionality, there’s also new fans hitting the middle aisle as temperatures are set to hit 30C this week.
The Ambiano Retro Pedestal Fan costs £39.99 but comes with a three year warranty, so you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.
