The best Aldi Specialbuys to have on your radar this week

If you’ve ever shopped at Aldi, it’s likely that you’ll be familiar with its middle aisle, which has earned the budget supermarket a cult following in recent years.

Home to what Aldi calls its “Specialbuys”, it’s filled with practically everything you could ever need, from cordless vacuum cleaners to silk pillowcases, fancy pet beds and even barbecues.

Delivering an exciting mix of great-value products that cover a wide range of activities and hobbies, such as sports, camping, DIY, beauty and much, much more, the bargain buys are available to purchase in Aldi stores.

But, if you fancy skipping the queues and being first in line, you can also shop many of these deals online through the supermarket’s website too. By shopping online, you get to check out which products are up for grabs before they land in stores – which usually happens every Thursday and Sunday – and order them up to a week in advance.

This week, we’ve got a firm eye on the Aldi-exclusive Vitesse force e-mountain bike (£899.99, Aldi.co.uk), because last year it was a speedy sell-out. Meanwhile, the mini kamado barbecue (£119.99, Aldi.co.uk) is ideal for summer soirees.

The retailer is also running a pet event, focusing on our furry friends with a small luxury velvet pet bed (£14.99, Aldi.co.uk) in several different colours, while there are fun outdoor buys including a climbing dome with slide (£179.99, Aldi.co.uk).

You’ll find affordable products for the garden, including a budget patio heater (£39.99, Aldi.co.uk). Plus, the “Specialbuys” section is stepping up its fitness equipment with a Crane FITT cube (£79.90, Aldi.co.uk).

But, if you want to get your hands on something, you’re going to have to act quick, because once these Specialbuys sell out, they are gone.

Aldi Specialbuys FAQS

What days are Aldi special buys?

The budget supermarket launches new Specialbuys every week on Thursday and Sunday morning.

What time do Aldi special buys go online?

The time that these items become available to purchase online depends on which day they are launching. Aldi Specialbuys launching on Thursdays can be bought at 8am, while Sunday’s deals are available from 10am.

What happens to unsold Aldi specials?

If in the rare instance that some items are leftover, they will remain on sale until they are sold out. There is also a chance that some Specialbuys could be discounted every four to six weeks, depending on how much stock is remaining.

How does Aldi’s special buys work?

Aldi’s special deals are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, so shoppers need to be one of the first online, or through store doors, to ensure they get their

hands on their item of choice. You can either buy direct from your local store the day they go on sale, or order from the online shop.

The supermarket delivers an exciting mix of top-quality, great-value products that cover a wide range of activities and hobbies, such as sports, camping, DIY, beauty and much more.

Can you pre-order Aldi special buys?

Yes. Shoppers can place an online order for any Specialbuy items up to a week in advance. However, the products will not be dispatched until the launch date.

Does Aldi repeat special buys?

Due to increasing popularity, many of the supermarket’s deals sell out within a matter of minutes. But, fear not, because you could get another chance to snap one up if you miss out. While some of Aldi’s Specialbuys are limited-run and only launch at a specific time of year, some are brought back owing to popular demand, such as its famous Gardenline egg chair, which has sold out every time it has been relaunched.

To help you decide which products to add to your shopping basket, we’ve rounded up our picks from Aldi’s latest arrivals.

An e-bike coming in at less than £1,000, this is one of two models which sold out straightaway when they were released by Aldi last year. Having launched to much anticipation again, the Vitesse force is now the only one left in stock.

A great choice for those who want an electric bike as much for leisure as for getting from A to B, the Vitesse force e-mountain bike features larger wheels and fork suspension for cushioning uneven off-road terrain and smoothing out badly maintained roads.

The rear-mounted motor will provide assistance power as you pedal, taking the effort out of laborious uphill struggles and letting you cruise to your destination without breaking into a sweat. The Vitesse force also features hydraulic disc brakes for greater handling, safety and control over the bike whether on the road or off.
