ALDI shoppers can barely contain their excitement after the retailer unveiled a new Easter toy.
The German discounter, which runs over 1,000 UK branches, is set to add a new root vegetable to shelves – but not the edible kind.

The chain is introducing an Easter Kevin to stores on March 14, with two outfits to choose from.
Shoppers can pick up a sheep or lamb-themed version for £3.99 from the Specialbuys section of their nearest branch.
But that means there’s limited stock so you’ll need to be quick if you’re keen on snapping one up for the kids, or even yourself.
Shoppers have already caught wind the toys based on Aldi’s traditionally Christmas mascot are making their way to shelves in weeks.

One said: “I have no need for these…but I WANT them,” while another simply said: “Adorable”.
A third fan, tagging a friend, said: “Please set alarm in phone and support me on my next quest.”
And a fourth could barely contain their excitement, commenting: “I can’t cope with these.”
If you’re looking to snap one of the toys up, remember Aldi doesn’t do delivery so you’ll have to head to your nearest branch.

How to save money at Aldi
If you’re planning to get some other shopping done while picking up one of the Kevin the Carrot toys this spring, you can save some money in the process.
It’s worth keeping an eye out for any red sticker products, which staff add to items when they’ve been reduced in price.
Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning so it’s best to get in there early if you want to get the best discounts.
Keep an eye out for slashed-price fruits and vegetables as well – the retailer tends to reduce six items every two weeks to “silly low” prices, according to deals expert Tom Church.
Get ahead of the crowd by signing up to Aldi’s newsletter and following the retailer on social media as well.
