ALDI weekly bargains

Sheep Shagger

Couldn't find a specific thread...

This week it's gardening stuff

Just a heads up for anyone like me that fancied some of the garden stuff.

Stopped into an Aldi on my way through a town earlier on my way to work. The following items I had an eye on have all been cancelled.

2 in 1 hedge/grass clippers.
Landscape stones (both types from the brochure)
Weed control fabric.

Hopefully that will save anyone making the unnecessary journey out to get them.

I bought the 2 in 1 hedge/grass clippers today and saw the weed control fabric though they were nearly all gone at 9:30AM. So some stores are getting stock of it.

Cheers for that, the one I was in (Belgard) around 11am the lady definitely said "cancelled" so I assume that applied to all Aldi stores.

I have to visit a company in the afternoon based in Fonthill, so will try there and if no success, Newlands Cross after that.

If anyone can confirm any stores that actually have them, that'd be great too and you would be bringing great joy to a certain Mrs McMurphy.

Picked up a few bits along with bread and milk this morning lol.

Next Thursday sees garden / BBQ furniture and other stuff for the bank holiday weekend. Catalogue not online yet but have a paper copy.

Anyone see the hoses in Aldi today?

Yes seen them in one for sure (Belgard) but there was none of the stones or weed fabric or the 2 in 1 hedge clipper in any of the 3 stores I stopped off at today.

Just paid a wedge last week to order garden furniture online. Aldi better not have the same set for 99 euro! :pac:

I would have been interested in some of those landscaping stones. Sounds like its not worth trying to see if my local has any.

aldi dundalk (newry road branch) had all of the garden specials about 20 mins ago when i left. weed fabric, clippers, stones, plants and hoses.

Dunno Dades, I met a worker at the entrance of the last Aldi I passed today doing the crowd control thing, I asked him is there any point me getting a trolley as I'm after stones etc for the garden, and he said he didn't think they got them in, and he was correct (no clippers either)

Not like Aldi to be fair they're normally top of their game

They didnt have the stones, or the 20ft hoses in Oranmore this morning when I visited
I asked one of the staff about the hoses, and he said they hadnt gotten any at all.

Yep got one, only had about 10 in stock (I was there at opening) in Sallynoghin.

Plenty of weed fabric and garden supplies in Aldi Terenure at 7pm today.

I see Aldi have their BBQ back out on Thusday, anybody have any experience with it - is it worth the 80 Euros?

They did an dual fuel BBQ last year with a hob too it was the business but 200euro so a big difference in price.

chases0102

Cheers for that!

the perfect ten

Are you sure it is available on Thursday - I thought it was on Sunday?

I know it’s the ALDI thread and apologies , but just letting people know Home Store and More have the BBQ’s on half price at the moment and they are delivering them too. Might be of use to some people .

Get out of here with your homestore, this here is Aldi terrotory!

Seriously though, even at half price their barbeque/smoker is still 50 euro dearer than the Aldi one which also has a three year warranty.

Widdensushi

they have the same sale on bbq every year, just when people start looking for them conveniently enough

Wasn't in My local Aldi (outside Dublin. Co. Tipperary). They got very little of the special offers. No paint. A small delivery of planters.

Asked the shop assistant manager who was there. He said they are struggling to get stuff in. They order what they need but the depots are short of stock and short of staff. Essentials get priority. He said go to different stores and try. Some get one item others get another.

16kg bags of white or brown flour for €9.99

Seen these in Aldi and Tesco recently, also massive bags of rice too, initial thoughts I had on them was that storage might be an issue for some though?

The only realistic place I could store them packs would be in the garage/workshop but that's not Ideal (might attract vermin among other reasons)

Good offer though.

Agree it looks nice but I’d say it’s end up 90% of the time getting left to rot in the bulk of Irish gardens within months. Sure we have a sh1te couple of days again now showers of rain, how many are bothering to cover stuff.

The rice is better value in their standard 1kg bags, different brand, but it's rice so.....

At €169.99 is this considered a bargain?

Yeah. Branded ones probably cost double.

Chances are these won’t be on sale, lidl had similar items recently and there were queues of 200 people waiting for them

They've been selling all their other garden and outdoor stuff as normal.

If only Aldi did online sales here, you may not have to Q for an eggchair!

What sort of people queue for a chair at 4.30am. Always amazes me how people's minds work.

It's kinda logical, you stand for hours to get somewhere to sit down.

People with sad lives and the inability to get their priorities right.

Most of those garden specials are utter junk.
Stuff will fall apart or rust after a few years.

Tis only a chair like. Money would be better spent on buying a chicken coop and a pair of hens.

At the risk of asking a stupid question, how did people buy them if the shop wasn't open? Or are you talking about staff getting them?

Aldi have pulled the paddling pools on sale this week given the house pipe ban. How socially responsible of them lol

Sheep Shagger

Good bit of hardware and outdoor stuff in store today including fire pits etc.

The water park/ pools that were withdrawn when the hose pipe ban was on are back next Sunday, 26 July.
