What are Aldi Specialbuys?
Specialbuys are unique and exciting products that you can find exclusively in Aldi stores.
The products are launched in stores every Thursday and Sunday and can include anything from DIY items to beauty products.
You can pick up a leaflet in-store, browse online, or sign up to Aldi’s mailing list to get a sneak preview of what is to come.
There are other ways to save at Aldi and it is always worth keeping a lookout for the many dupes that the retailer launches from time to time.
One Aldi worker recently revealed all the new beauty dupes that have landed in stores.

And most homeware stores hold sales in the summer.
Last summer, Dobbies launched a huge summer sale with prices slashed by up to 50%.
The items on sale included garden furniture, plants and homeware.
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 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
