Dryrobes have been all the rage in the last few months with many making it an outdoor essential alongside swimsuits and suncream.
If you've not heard of them before, they're designed to provide warmth and privacy when you need to change your clothes outdoors.
But the price means shoppers have been searching around for cheaper alternatives.
Luckily, you can get your hands on Aldi's 'Changing Robe' for just £39.99 which has sent shoppers into a frenzy.
It's a dupe of Dryrobe's outerwear staple and comes in at more than double the price.
They're loved by many who hope to keep themselves warm and dry after a dip in the sea but you'll have to pay £90 for the Dryrobe Full-Zip Organic Towel Robe.
Dryrobe have less pricey versions of the product too but the cheapest robes still cost £60.
So it's little surprise that Aldi shoppers are racing to the nearest branch to snap up the replica SpecialBuys version.
But you better be quick, as with all SpecialBuys, once they're gone, they're gone.
Aldi's windproof and quick-dry robes are made from 100% polyester with a cosy fleece lining and are an essential for those looking to enjoy a British staycation.
Featuring full front zippers, Velcro fasteners at the sleeves and plenty of pockets, they're designed to keep shoppers comfortable, whatever the weather.
Adults sizes S-XL cost £39.99 while children's sizes, which range from 5 to 14 years, costs £27.99.
One advantage the branded version has is the greater selection of colours available with the Aldi version only coming in Black/Blue.
It's also made out of 100% organic cotton approved by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) compared to Aldi's polyester.
You can purchase a Dryrobe online in a variety of colours depending on which robe you choose, from Black Red to Slate Grey Pink.
How to get the best deals at Aldi
Another cheaper DryRobe alternative is Next 's 'Swim Changing Robe.'
But priced at £99, the Aldi version is still 60% cheaper, meaning shoppers can save themselves an impressive £59.01.
Asda's own clothing brand, George, also sells their own 'Changing Robe Jacket' but they're only available for kids.
They have five different robes available for boys and girls with two currently on offer for as little as £16.
There's a whole range of other SpecialBuys that have hit the shelves this weekend too.
The popular discount chain has revealed 24 summer essential products, including the Dryrobe dupes.
Prices start at just 1.99 with several bargain buys at a fraction of the cost you would pay at big-name shops.
With temperatures set to soar again next week, you can get your hands on several offers ranging from summer clothes to beach accessories.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

Zopa opens Manchester office
London-headquartered digital bank Zopa is opening an office in Manchester as it bids to create a 500-strong workforce in the city. 0 Opening in central Manchester next month, the office will initially provide space for a team of 50+ employees, with roles focused on product, engineering, and specialist operations. It "could" grow tenfold to over 500 staff over time, says Zopa. The bank is planning to tap into the city's thriving tech ecosystem, strong financial services presence, and deep talent pool. With over 10,000 digital and tech businesses, a flourishing startup scene, and five major universities enrolling over 100,000 students, Manchester has become one of Europe's fastest-growing tech hubs. Iain Kendrick, chief people officer, Zopa, says: "With more than 85% of our customers based outside the capital, expanding into Manchester allows us to be closer to our diverse, nationwide customer base, access new talent, and accelerate our ambitious growth journey. Manchester has the energy, connectivity, and capability we need to support our next stage of expansion as we make Zopa a top-choice employer across regions." A P2P lending pioneer, Zopa pivoted to become a bank in 2020 and has since amassed 1.5 million customers, lending more than £13 billion and securing two straight years of profitability. In June it marked a major milestone, finally launching its first current account, Biscuit. As it grows the business, the firm is also expecting to move to its landmark new headquarters in London later this year, doubling its office footprint for around 900 employees.

Consulting sector rebounds amid efficiency drives and AI adoption
Britain's consulting industry is expected to return to growth this year in what could be bad news for the rest of the country's workforce. The sector struggled last year as companies reined in their spending on external advisers in the face of wars, general elections and lingering economic uncertainty. The Management Consultancies Association, in its annual industry report, estimates that the UK consulting industry was flat in 2024, with annual revenue unmoved at £20.4 billion. However, the MCA, which represents dozens of firms including the 'big four', expects the sector to rebound this year and to grow by 3.6 per cent, followed by 7.8 per cent in 2026. That growth is expected to be driven by companies bringing in experts to oversee efficiency drives, which usually take the form of job losses.

UK is now a top investment destination, Deloitte survey reveals
The UK has overtaken the United States and Japan as a more attractive country to invest in, according to executives at some of Britain's biggest businesses. Despite volatile markets and concern about the public finances, business directors have turned more bullish on the UK as a country to invest in and have a bigger appetite for risk, according to Deloitte's latest survey of chief financial officers. The closely watched quarterly survey, which canvasses opinion from the finance chiefs of 61 of Britain's biggest companies, found that executives viewed the UK and India as the most attractive destination when it came to investment, with a net balance of 13 per cent of respondents describing Britain as very or somewhat attractive. • Deloitte cuts back on bonuses, pay and promotions Increasing fondness for the UK in the second quarter is a marked improvement from the end of last year, when finance bosses saw the United States, the Middle East, emerging Europe and Japan as better countries to invest in over Britain. 'These results reveal a shift in sentiment, with the UK now viewed as a leading global investment destination', Richard Houston, senior partner and chief executive of Deloitte UK, said. 'This renewed confidence, coupled with a rise in risk appetite, is welcome and underscores the considerable investment potential the UK offers.' A net balance of 17 per cent of finance chiefs said that now was a good time to take greater risk on to their balance sheets, compared with 12 per cent in the previous quarter, amid a 'slight tilt' away from 'defensive strategies' for the first time in a year as more companies looked at expanding via new markets and products. Despite the uptick in optimism, the survey, which took place between June 16 and June 29, found that for an eighth consecutive quarter geopolitical fears remained the top risk to finance bosses. However, the percentage of finance chiefs reporting that the level of external uncertainty facing their business was high or very high dipped to 44 per cent in the second quarter from 46 per cent in the previous quarter. Ian Stewart, chief economist at Deloitte UK, said the slight slip in levels of concern about geopolitical risk 'may reflect an easing of concerns around trade in light of the UK-US trade deal announced in early May.'
