Thanks to Aldi, you can now nab a huge selection of essential buys for the nursery, pram and more.

Prices start at just 79p and there’s a large variety of baby buys – with all things from toys and clothes, to feeding essentials, muslins and books.
Posting on Instagram, Aldi gave shoppers a close-up look at the new baby Specialbuys, leaving many open-mouthed.
Alongside the short clip, the much-loved chain penned: “Our Baby Event is back and we have the cutest items in store!
“Head down to the middle aisle now for all your baby essentials.”
There’s a lovely selection of pram essentials for just £5.99, including a clip-on sunshade with a colour changing UV indicator, that’s perfect for keeping your youngster cool in hot weather.
As well as this, there’s a deluxe clip on fan that’s also perfect for fighting the heat.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s buys for the bathroom too, including bath mats for £9.99.
To ensure your little one doesn’t go anywhere they shouldn’t, Aldi is also selling safety gates, for £17.99.

Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
The social media clip, which was shared on the official @aldispecialbuysuk account, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly amassed almost 1,400 likes in just 18 hours.
Social media users were left open-mouthed at the new Specialbuys and many flocked to the comments to express this.

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
Meanwhile, one mother tagged her sister and wrote: “I need the sun shade and fan sissy!
“Keep an eye out for me please.”
Whilst another Aldi fan commented: “When does it end?”
To this, Aldi replied and shared: “Specialbuy items are available until sold out.”
