Aldi launches Specialbuys sale with up to 40% off

ALDI has slashed the prices of a selection of its Specialbuys, with huge savings on furniture and homeware.

The discount retailer is offering bargains both online and in-stores, including a bread maker and a rattan bedside table.

Most of the larger items in the sale are only available online – so you won’t be able to find them in your local Aldi store.

Aldi’s standard delivery cost is £2.95, rising £3.95 if you want your new item to arrive on a specific day.

Some of the sale products are available in store, and you can find you nearest Aldi branch using the online shop locator.

You should always shop around before you part with your hard-earned cash, as you may be able to find a similar item for a cheaper price elsewhere.

Remember, even if an item is in the sale, it’s not a saving unless you were already planning to make a purchase.

JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

Here are some that we recommend:

Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.

Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.

Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.

CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

Kirkton House Blue Accent Chair

This sleek swivel chair is upholstered in velvet fabric and would make a great addition to a living room or bedroom.

We found some similar chairs available online at Dunelm – but both were slightly different shades of blue compared to Aldi’s electric hue.

This midnight blue cocktail chair is slightly more expensive than Aldi’s sale price.

If you’re looking for a velvet chair at a lower price point, Dunelm also has this version in teal for £85 – but it doesn’t look as comfy as Aldi’s.

Rattan appears to be the interiors trend of the summer, with rattan garden furniture flying off the shelves.

Aldi has extended the craze to indoor furniture and you can bag a bargain with £5 off this rattan bedside table.

There were no cheaper alternatives available online at the time of writing, with many similar styles on sale for more than £100.

We did find this £79 side table at Dunelm and a bedside drawer set from Made.com for £99, if you want to weigh up the other budget-friendly options.

Do you struggle to sleep in the warmer months, but your partner insists on keeping the duvet on?

Or maybe you’re a fan of a cosy blanket whatever the weather but your other half wants to swap the duvet for a lighter option?

Aldi’s Made For You Double Duvet is aiming to solve those arguements with this two-in-one bedding set.

One half is 4.5 tog in thickness, while the other is 10.5 tog – and it’s available online now with £5.

Shoppers seeking a comfy night’s sleep can pick up this Silentnight mattress online with £30 off.

It features edge to edge support and anti-allergy fibres to help you drift off without a hitch.

Mattresses vary greatly in comfort and across price bands, so it’s worth doing your research before you commit.

We found a few cheaper mattresses online at the time of writing, including this £99 one from furnitureful.com and a £100.99 memory foam option at Wayfair.
