Exact date that Aldi’s Crocs dupes go on sale – and it’s just days away
ALDI shoppers should set their alarms and look to their calendars as the store’s latest release has been revealed.
Known for stocking their shelves with dupes, including the once controversial Cuthbert the caterpillar cake, bargain buyers may want to remember the date so that they can be some of the first to nab this remarkable release.
Customers wanting to put their best foot forward to dash to their nearest branch and nab Aldi’s Adults’ Avenue Lined Clogs should remember the 1st September as that is when the item will first be made available.
According to their website, the stylish yet functional Crocs-look-a-likes will be available in a range of sizes from four to eleven.
Whilst there have been four colour ways revealed in pink, beige, black and grey.
Currently priced at £5.99 a pair, the comfortable clogs seem to rival the “original “walk in comfort wear in style” brand prices which have previously been five times more expensive.
Those already proud owners of similar shoes could still head to their nearest branch on the day if looking to stock up on Christmas gifts for their families.
As the Children’s Crane Clogs will be available in navy, pink and blue at just £4.99 a pair.
Whilst those not wanting to wait for the grand reveal in stores could head to New Look’s website which boasts a pair of Women’s Light Brown clogs for just a fiver.
Shoezone has a similar looking Summer Light Blue classic for £7.99.
The EVA version in white looks to be available on Amazon for delivery for the exact same cost.
Shoppers set to storm stores hoping to nab one of the first pairs should keep their eyes peeled as Aldi has revealed plans for five other brand new items to be stocked on the same day.
Aldi seems to have answered September’s sleepy prayers with listings of Pyjamas, Foam Slippers and Hipster underwear.
Whilst the women’s Avenue Pyjamas are a slightly cheaper £7.99 to the men’s equivalent of £9.99.
They look to offer a funky design topped with a long sleeve t-shirt.
Released on the same day, the foam slippers have three different colour-ways whilst the Leather Chelsea Boots could be yours for £24.99.
How to save at Aldi?
Despite Aldi’s prices usually being pretty affordable, shoppers may be on the lookout for how they can make the most out of their savings.
Look out for weekly ads: Aldi stores often have weekly ads hanging around stores to ensure customers get the most bang for their buck. Savvy-shoppers may want to stay extra alert when strolling the aisles in case there are discounts that they may have missed.
Download the app: Not only does this make checking weekly offers even easier but customers can be on the lookout for the latest Specialbuys from the comfort of their own phone. This reduces the likelihood of overlooking a slashed price and if something isn’t available in your local store you can use the handy map to check where you could head to next.
Check for clearance items: One Mum previously spoke out on social media about her shocking find. Seasoned shoppers may not have spotted the saving hack. The mum claimed anyone picking up an item which expires within five days of its purchase will find a discounted price of that item which extends to others which are yet to be marked down.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to 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.
