Sought after garden set expected to fly off shelves
It is retailing for £149 and is anticipated to fly off the shelves once again.
The set includes two rattan-style chairs with cream cushions and a compact matching table.
Asda has described the product as ideal for balconies, patios, or "that cosy garden corner you've been meaning to spruce up."
The description added: "This best-selling set is perfect for creating a sun-soaked spot to sip, snack and socialise all summer long - but be quick, it's set to fly off the shelves again."
It is now available for a second summer online and in selected stores.
Aldi brings back viral garden furniture
Aldi have also brought back a popular piece of viral garden furniture for another season.
Its sell-out Rattan Effect Corner sofa has returned to stores for just under £200.
The stylish grey set comes complete with seat cushions and a footstool.
Other bargains that can be found on the middle aisle this year include the Melbourne Coffee Set, £99.99, and outdoor furnishings from as little as £7.99.
The return of cult favourite BBQ
Aldi has also recently announced the return of its cult favourite BBQ, which is £100 cheaper than last year.
The sausage roll that's better than Greggs – and it beats Aldi and Lidl too
This came after shoppers took to X to express their frustrations towards not being able to get their hands on this high ticket item.
One shopper posted: "Went out looking for the new Kamado egg at @aldiuk but none in any local branches."
The Kamado BBQ landed back in stores in May at the retail price of £299.99, and eager shoppers snapped it up in days.

I'd heard brilliant things about Too Good to Go so spent £4.40 on an Asda bag – it was an epic fail, I can't eat it all
IT'S the food recycling scheme that aims to reduce waste. And loads of people have had epic wins on their Too Good to Go bags, nabbing hundreds of pounds' worth of goodies for a fraction of their original price. 6 Florence thought her luck was in when she picked up two bags packed with bits Credit: tiktok/@ 6 But then she opened them up, and found they were stuffed to the brim with salad Credit: tiktok/@ 6 She couldn't believe how unlucky she'd been with her £4.40 purchase Credit: tiktok/@ 6 And admitted she had no idea how she was going to eat it all Credit: tiktok/@ So Florence decided to take a gamble and get one from her local town - although the only options were from Greggs or Asda. As the Greggs ones were sold out, she went for Asda, and thought it was her lucky day when she was given two massive bags, each of which was packed full to the brim. "I got two bags for life full of food for £4.40 and I was like, 'Yeah it's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be fabulous!'" Florence said. However, when she got home, she soon realised that she'd made a mistake. "It's ALL salad," Florence sighed. She then unpacked the bags in a video on her TikTok page, as she pulled out iceberg lettuce after iceberg lettuce. There were also some boxes and bags of prepped salads, which Florence joked "made a change". While she hoped that the second bag had something other than salad in it, she quickly discovered it did not. "It's more salad!" she exclaimed. Florence concluded her video by sharing a look at her kitchen - which ended up being "just lettuce". I was so excited when I nabbed a £2.49 Morrisons Too Good To Go bag – but what I found inside made me feel sick "I'm actually gonna cry," she despaired. She captioned her video by tagging Too Good to Go and adding: "What is this!?" People in the comments section were quick to advise Florence to complain about the bags, with one writing: "Too Good to Go is supposed to prevent food waste - they can't possibly imagine you could use all that salad. "Taking the p**s and making a mockery of the scheme." "A lot of that looked vile too, like proper rotten," another added. "It's supposed to be 'too good to go', not 'good riddance'!" Hacks for Keeping Food Fresh in Your Fridge IF you want your food to stay fresh, you'll need to try out this useful hacks... Herbs in Water: Store fresh herbs like parsley and coriander in a glass of water, then cover with a plastic bag to keep them fresh for weeks. Wrap Greens in Paper Towels: Wrap leafy greens in paper towels before placing them in a plastic bag. The towels absorb excess moisture, preventing wilting. Use Mason Jars: Store salads, chopped vegetables, and even leftovers in mason jars. They are airtight and keep food fresher for longer. Revive Stale Bread: Sprinkle a bit of water on stale bread and pop it in the oven for a few minutes to make it fresh again. Baking Soda for Odours: Place an open box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb odours and keep food tasting fresh. Freeze Herbs in Olive Oil: Chop herbs and freeze them in olive oil using an ice cube tray. This preserves their flavour and makes them easy to use. Keep Cheese Fresh: Wrap cheese in wax paper instead of plastic wrap. Wax paper allows the cheese to breathe, preventing it from becoming slimy. Store Avocados with Onions: Place a cut avocado in an airtight container with a slice of onion. The sulphur compounds in the onion slow down oxidation, keeping the avocado fresh. Use Vinegar Wash for Berries: Rinse berries in a mixture of water and vinegar (one cup of vinegar to three cups of water) before storing. This kills bacteria and mould spores, extending their shelf life. Egg Freshness Test: To check if eggs are still fresh, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink, while old ones will float. Implement these clever hacks to maximise the freshness of your food and make the most of your groceries. "Completely defeats the point of TGTG, as now 90% of that will go to waste," a third said. "Companies shouldn't use it a glorified waste collection." "And you can't even freeze any of it!" someone else pointed out. "Cheaper for them to let you dispose of it," another added. "And they make a quick pound as well while showing the general public how 'eco friendly' they are by preventing food waste," someone else said "I live in London and bought a Tesco Too Good to Go bag just after Christmas and it was literally just 5 bags of brussel sprouts and a load of mashed potato - all with an expiration date of TOMORROW," another sighed. "I think its just become a way for grocery stores to offload their produce that's going off on to the customer." "I tried Too Good to Go from some bakeries and couple of times hoping for some sweet buns or cakes and ended up with 12 slightly stale bread rolls and a mini baguette," someone else wrote. "Never again!" However, another commented: "It's not that hard to understand. "It's left overs; food before it becomes food waste. You get what you get; if you're not prepared for that don't use Too Good to Go." "They're meant to give you a variety of stuff, 2 bags of leafs is a joke," Florence hit back. 6 Her kitchen table was covered in iceberg lettuce by the end of the TikTok Credit: tiktok/@

UK's cheapest supermarket this summer named as it beats rival by pennies
Which? set out to find out June's cheapest supermarket by comparing the price of 79 products. Consumer champion Which? has revealed which UK supermarket has been the cheapest for shoppers this summer. They conducted a price comparison on 79 items across the eight major supermarkets to find the best value from June 2025. While the result may not be surprising for some, there was fierce competition for the top stop as there were only pennies separating first and second place. By comparing the price of dozens of products across the stores, Which? has once again crowned Aldi the cheapest supermarket. On average across the month, the total bill at Aldi came to £131.52. However with just 35p of a difference, Lidl came in second place with an average spend of £131.87 when done with the Lidl Plus loyalty app. When calculated without the app, the spend rose to £131.89, reports the Mirror. The selected 79 items included a variety of own-brand and brand items, including Hovis bread, Birds Eye Peas, butter and milk. Which? also conducted a bigger shopping price comparison that included 196 items. For this test Aldi and Lidl were excluded as they do not sell a lot of the same products as the bigger supermarkets. In terms of the larger shop, Asda was crowned the winner with an average cost in June of £484.60. Coming in second place was Tesco, with an average bill of £492.86 when purchased with a Clubcard. However, without the loyalty Clubcard, the price of the shopper shot up to £528.45 on average. For both of the comparisons the analysis included special offer prices and loyalty prices where applicable. However, multibuys were not included. Unsurprisingly, Waitrose was the most expensive supermarket for both the smaller and larger shops, with the average bills coming in at £178.64 and £554.68 respectively. Speaking on Aldi's win of smaller shop, Which? retail editor Reena Sewraz said: "Aldi has once again bagged the title of the UK's cheapest supermarket according to our latest price analysis, with Lidl hot on its heels – just 35p behind." She added: "The bigger trolley of groceries shows that Asda continues to be one of the cheaper supermarkets - beating membership prices at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons. "With food bills still squeezing household budgets, it pays to be savvy as our analysis shows simply choosing one supermarket over another could save you as much as £70 on a large shop." For those wanting to save a bit of extra money in the supermarket each month, there are a few tricks you can try. Discounts are a sure way to save some cash, so shoppers are advised to lookout for yellow stickers in store or discounts and voucher codes on websites such as HotUKDeals and LatestDeals. Alternatively, shoppers could try the downshift challenge where you swap your branded goods for those with supermarket-own labels. Shoppers can also make changes at home to help save money. Choosing to meal prep can help shoppers not waste their money on impulse buys, while freezing any leftovers from meals will also help with food waste. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
