ALDI’S sell-out garden toy that’s £70 cheaper than John Lewis version is back on the shelves next week.
Shoppers will soon be able to pick up the German discounter’s wooden climbing frames for children.
Customers can choose between a wooden cube or triangle that are sold individually but can be used as part of a set.

John Lewis currently charges for its TP ToysActive Tots Wooden Climbing Cube, which cost £89.99.
The posh retailer also sells a wooden climbing triangle for £89.99.
These products are also sold as individual items so if you wanted to buy both it would cost you £179.98.
That is £70 more than what Aldi charges for its set.
Parents can join the two activity stations together so their children can climb across both of the pieces.
It is part of Aldi’s Specialbuys, which are unique products sold in the discounter’s middle aisle from Thursday to Sunday.

It is one of many dupes for high end products that Alid has rolled out in recent weeks.
Shoppers went wild when they spotted the perfect dupe for Gucci Floral’s Gorgeous Jasmine scent, which typically costs £76.
Thankfully, their purse-friendly alternative is just £6.99 in Aldi, marking a saving of a whopping £69.
Elsewhere, Aldi also confirmed it would bring back its iconic dupe for the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser.

Meanwhile the Liz Earle cleanser comes with a hefty £30 price tag, Aldi’s dupe costs just £3.49.
The grocer said it was bringing the item back but only to a limited number of stores.
