Aldi is bringing BACK its DryRobe dupe in stores this week – and it's half the price of branded version
ALDI is bringing back its DryRobe dupe in stores this week and it's a half the price of the branded version. Shoppers are flocking to the retailer's middle aisle to snap up the bargain buy while stocks last. 2 2 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.
