ALDI BARGAIN BUYS
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy allow customers to check if they are getting the best deal across different retailers.
Aldi's launch follows recent garden sales from other major retailers. B&M has offered discounted garden chairs, Argos recently cut prices on outdoor essentials, and Wilko slashed prices on patio and bistro sets.
Last summer, Dobbies ran a major summer sale with up to 50 per cent off garden furniture and plants, and Dunelm cleared out seasonal stock with discounts up to 75%.
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.
Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
