TWO Bank Holidays are just around the corner.
And shoppers have something to celebrate after Aldi announced they are bringing back their hugely popular Rattan Corner Sofa, just in time for the next long weekend.
The £199.99 sofa – which comes in at £100 cheaper than similar products from other leading brands – will be in stores from 5th May.
But as with all of the supermarket’s Specialbuys, you’ll have to be quick to get your hands on one.
The corner sofa, which sold out last time it hit the middle aisle in Aldi, is simple to put together, and the space-saving design is perfect for even the smallest patios.
It also comes complete with matching seat and back cushions.
And grab the Corner Sofa Cover for an extra £19.99 to protect your new purchase if the weather is less than favourable.
To complete your outdoor seating area, why not snap up the £59.99 Stone Effect Fire Pit too?
The sleek design adds a modern touch, and the fire pit features removable chrome plates so that it can double up as a grill.
It also comes with a poker, mesh lid, and fuel grate to control heat output.
You can choose from light or dark grey, and the fire pit is in store from 2nd May.
If you are determined to get your hands on one of the sofas or fire pits, an Aldi employee previously revealed the best time to hit the shop.
In the comments on one of Dylan’s recent videos, one person asked for advice about when to visit Aldi, writing: “By the time I go it looks like a tornados hit the place lol!”
“Try and get there for 8 on a Thursday and 10 am on a Sunday, or even 9:30 on a Sunday – store dependent,” Dylan replied.
“So do the special buys get put out late the evening before in all stores?” someone else asked.
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.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
“I don’t live close enough to an Aldi get there first thing of a morning and always miss out on so much!”
“It tends to be the last 15 minutes of trading,” Dylan responded.
“So around 9.45 when specials are usually rolled out onto the shop floor.
“Hopefully this helps – this is store dependent.”
