Aldi is selling a garden gadget that’s £160 cheaper than Karcher and is perfect for getting your garden ready for Spring
ALDI is flogging a garden gadget for £160 less than Karcher – and it’s perfect for getting your garden spring-ready.
The budget supermarket is selling the FERREX High Pressure Washer for just £89.99.
Pressure washers are a spring-cleaning essential, blasting away dirt and grime from patios, driveways, and garden furniture in seconds.
The product includes a height-adjustable telescopic handle, a spray gun with integrated pressure indicator, and a rear detergent container.
Shoppers should purchase the deal as soon as possible as it is only available while stock lasts.
The popular product will return to stores on Thursday March, 26, so customers only need to wait a few more hours to get their hands on it.
The washer is also £10 cheaper than what has been in the past when it was selling for £99.
This type of product has proven to be a hit with customers in recent years.
The deal will save shoppers a tidy sum compared to big name brands.
This includes Karcher’s high pressure washer, which costs between £200 to £250, depending on the offers and promotional events.
You can currently purchase the washer at the reduced rate of £199, down from £249, on the Screwfix website.
Some of Aldi’s best value items are Specialbuys that are much more affordable than a comparable item bought elsewhere.
The most popular items sell out very quickly, so you need to know what is coming in.
Sign up to the supermarket’s mailing list where they often send out information on upcoming specialbuys.
Aldi’s prices are usually pretty good anyway, but when they are trying to clear stock they’ll offer even bigger reductions with special red tags.
The bargain retailer will also be restocking its sellout spa pool, for £249.99, which is cheaper than Wilko.
Wilko sells its inflatable four person hot tub for £299.99.
Often Aldi sells off Specialbuys at reduced prices to make way for fresh stock, so you can score a great deal.
Elsewhere, Lidl offers the Parkside Pressure Washer which costs £190 less than Karcher’s huge pressure washer.
Last week, Wilko knocked down prices on patio sets, lounge chairs, and bistro sets.
This was a huge sale on outdoor furniture – offering up to £500 off just in time for spring.
It is also important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for too.
How to save money when shopping at Aldi
Unlike other major grocers, Aldi does not have a rewards or point card system but that does not mean you cannot save on your shop.
Every week the store releases a list of special buys, which are unique bargain products you find online at Aldi and in store.
The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what’s new.
Meanwhile, the store also regularly sells fruit and vegetables at highly discounted prices, as part of its ‘super six’ deal.
It also does weekly saving offers on typically pricey items such as meat and fish.
Plus, it’s worth keeping an eye out for products with red stickers on them.
These are added to items that have been reduced due to them being close to their best before date or slightly damaged.
The best time to get these reduced products is towards the end of the day, when you can get discounts worth up to 75%.
When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store’s times by using the supermarket’s online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
