Yahoo News The best Aldi Specialbuys to have on your radar this week
If you’ve ever shopped at Aldi, it’s likely that you’ll be familiar with its middle aisle, which has earned the budget supermarket a cult following in recent years.
Home to what Aldi calls its “Specialbuys”, it’s filled with practically everything you could ever need, from cordless vacuum cleaners to silk pillowcases, fancy pet beds and even barbecues.
Delivering an exciting mix of great-value products that cover a wide range of activities and hobbies, such as sports, camping, DIY, beauty and much, much more, the bargain buys are available to purchase in Aldi stores.
But, if you fancy skipping the queues and being first in line, you can also shop many of these deals online through the supermarket’s website too. By shopping online, you get to check out which products are up for grabs before they land in stores – which usually happens every Thursday and Sunday – and order them up to a week in advance.
Last week the retailer introduced us to plenty of camping gear bits (FYI, a lot of it still up for grabs if you’re prepping for your next summer festival) but, moving onto this week, it has upped its garden gadget game – namely, by dropping sell-out inflatable hot tub (£399.99, Aldi.co.uk).
For those feeling the post Glastonbury blues today you’ll also find a waterproof pool speaker (£24.99, Aldi.co.uk) and a ceramic egg barbeque (£399.99, Aldi.co.uk). There’s even a patio heater that doubles up as a light and speaker for your next garden hangout (£119.99, Aldi.co.uk).

But, if you want to get your hands on something, you’re going to have to act quick, because once these Specialbuys sell out, they are gone.
Aldi Specialbuys FAQS
What days are Aldi special buys?
The budget supermarket launches new Specialbuys every week on Thursday and Sunday morning.
What time do Aldi special buys go online?
The time that these items become available to purchase online depends on which day they are launching. Aldi Specialbuys launching on Thursdays can be bought at 8am, while Sunday’s deals are available from 10am.
What happens to unsold Aldi specials?
If in the rare instance that some items are leftover, they will remain on sale until they are sold out. There is also a chance that some Specialbuys could be discounted every four to six weeks, depending on how much stock is remaining.
How does Aldi’s special buys work?
Aldi’s special deals are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, so shoppers need to be one of the first online, or through store doors, to ensure they get their
hands on their item of choice. You can either buy direct from your local store the day they go on sale, or order from the online shop.

Yes. Shoppers can place an online order for any Specialbuy items up to a week in advance. However, the products will not be dispatched until the launch date.
Does Aldi repeat special buys?
Due to increasing popularity, many of the supermarket’s deals sell out within a matter of minutes. But, fear not, because you could get another chance to snap one up if you miss out. While some of Aldi’s Specialbuys are limited-run and only launch at a specific time of year, some are brought back owing to popular demand, such as its famous Gardenline egg chair, which has sold out every time it has been relaunched.

Aldi large hanging egg chair with cover: £299.99, Aldi.co.uk
Landing a spot in our review of the best hanging egg chairs, our tester praised Aldi’s original, smaller chair, noting how it “looks and feels much more expensive than it is”. Here we have the cult favorite oeuf’s larger cousin with the classic rattan effect and lush looking cushion for two people to perch. While it’s more expensive than the original it may well be worth it if you’re planning to spend more time in the garden this summer.
