The supermarket giant continued it's expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores. By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country. The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers. In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Aldi has the perfect tool to help you tackle spring gardening jobs Credit: Getty 3 The £19.99 flower bed is a portable plastic greenhouse, perfect for displaying plants on balconies, patios or small gardens Credit: Aldi 3 The B&Q product is more than double the price Credit: B&Q Spring is a great time to sow an abundance of plants such as sunflowers, sweet peas and hardy annuals, to ensure that your garden is in full bloom for the summer. And Aldi's 50L Raised Bed, is the perfect tool to get you started. The £19.99 flower bed is a portable plastic greenhouse, perfect for displaying plants on balconies, patios or small gardens.

And it's even made from weatherproof materials, so you don't have to worry about it getting battered by the rain.
