Parents rush to bag £1.99 travel bargain spotted on Aldi shelves
PARENTS have rushed to Aldi to bag a £1.99 travel bargain spotted on the shelves.
The popular supermarket chain is known for selling products on the cheap and one customer recently found a bargain deal in their local store.
The savvy shopper was thrilled with her buy and quickly took to social media to show off her loot from Aldi.
She revealed the retailer was selling pushchair rain covers for just £1.99.
Taking to the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she alerted fellow punters of her find.
Along with pictures of the goods she wrote: “Found these today in Aldi…Nuby universal rain cover for £1.99!!!
“I can’t get it back in the little bag.
“But it does fit my silvercross stroller!”
Viewers were quick to praise the find with one saying it was a “great” piece of business.
Many social media users tagged their friends to let them know about the incredible deal.
Bear in mind, if you’re looking to snap up the pushchair rain cover for £1.99, you might not find it in your local branch so cheap.
Retailers tend to reduce items like this to clear stock in specific branches.
So it’s not a guarantee that you will find a bargain just like other punters do.
You don’t need to walk into a store to get the rain covers but stock may vary at different branches so it’s worth checking ahead.
Always remember to shop around when buying something like this as well as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.
You can use websites like Price Spy and Trolley to compare prices on thousands of products across different retailers.
The Google Product tab is helpful for running a quick scan across the internet too.
It comes as shoppers raced to their nearest Aldi store to get their hands on the bargain retailers own branded veggie meals for as little as 99p.
The popular supermarket chain revealed their veggie alternatives to shoppers on a Facebook post.
And Aldi launched their own-branded gin dupe for just half the price of the original.
Aldi’s middle aisle bargains has caused another stir amongst shoppers after they unveiled a beauty item you can get for £3.99.
And a cherished chocolate bar has been axed by the bargain supermarket, leaving its sweet tooth customers shattered.
How to save money 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.
