SHOPPERS already thinking ahead to sunnier times will be excited to hear that Aldi’s bargain hot tub is back.
It might not be garden weather just yet, but those already making plans for the summer may be looking for a new hot tub to hang out in.
Hot tubs have become a garden must-have for many households in recent years, and eagle-eyed shoppers are always keen to find one for a bargain price.
Discount supermarket Aldi has found its hot tub in huge demand and it has sold out year after year.
Now it’s back for 2022 – and it’s not likely to hang around for long.
The Intex inflatable hot tub is large enough for the whole family.
With a 795 litre capacity, it comfortably fits four adults.
It’s a stylish grey colour, and measures 201 x 201 x 71cm.
The tub has 135 bubble jets, heated air bubbles and two headrests, as well as having a lockable cover in case the weather turns.
Best of all, it’s considerably cheaper than many other hot tubs on the market at £399.99.
But bargain-hunters may have spotted that is more than it was selling for last year.
If you got one a year ago, you’d have only paid £350.
The hot tub is only available online, so be sure to factor in delivery costs too.
Aldi charges £9.95 for delivery of extra large items, and they’ll arrive within 2-7 working days.
That brings the total to £409.94.
Still, for sun-seekers, it’s a relatively cheap option compared to the competition.
When we checked, we spotted a Lay-Z Spa Miami AirJet Hot Tub on B&Q for £380, and a Wave Spa Atlantic Inflatable Hot Tub was £455 at Homebase.
Inflatable hot tubs are a much more affordable version than traditional ones, which can cost thousands of pounds.
But you should still always shop around when you’re making any purchase, and using price comparison tools like Google Shopping can help you find the best deal.
It’s worth checking cashback sites such as QuidCo and TopCashback to see if you can get any money back on your purchase.
And see if there are voucher codes that could score you some money off too.
With any hot tub, you’ll need to buy chemicals that keep the water fresh separately, so don’t forget to factor that in.
And we’ve looked at how much running a tub can cost as you’ll want to consider that in your budget too.
Recent years have seen record demand for inflatable pools, deck chairs and parasols, even leading to a national shortage as people looked to create the holiday experience at home.
