Aldi Deals

In July this year, Aldi was offering a full school uniform from £5 as one of its 'Special Buys'. While most stock has sold out online, there may still be some school uniform in stores. Though it's worth calling ahead to check before making a special trip (find your nearest).  

What do you get?

• 2x polo shirts - £1.75
• Sweatshirt - £1
• Skirt - £2.25
• Trousers - £2.25

Discount supermarket Aldi offers online purchases of wine by the case. Standard delivery is normally £3, but Aldi has told us the free delivery is an introductory offer, which is not expected to end soon.

Wines Aldi is selling by the case include:

• Castellore Sicilian Pinot Grigio - £22.14 for six bottles (£3.69 each)
• Prosecco DOC - £35.94 for six bottles (£5.99 each)
• Rockstone Ridge Californian Merlot - £26.94 for six bottles (£4.49 each)

Thanks to forumite xeonander for the original spot.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the popular Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser, you can get a cheaper version from Aldi for £3.99 for 200ml plus muslin cloth.

As it's an Aldi 'Special Buy', stock is limited - previously when it was available it sold out quickly online - so go quick if you'd like to give it a try.

If you can't face a change from the pricier brand, MSE Forumites love a similar cut-price cleanser from Superdrug - normally £6 for 150ml. The Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser is normally £16ish for 100ml plus the muslin cloth, which means you'd pay £32ish for 200ml and could save £28ish by downshifting.

A company that supplies frozen vegetables to supermarkets is recalling various products sold by Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Ocado, Tesco and Waitrose due to a possible contamination with Listeria.

See 'more info' below for the list of affected products. It includes bags of frozen sweetcorn, mixed veg and microwave steam bags. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says don't use them. 

Check the list and if you find any of the affected batch codes or best-before dates in your freezer, the FSA says you can return them to the shop you bought them from for a refund. 

For more information, see the Food Standards Agency website.

We've seen a Facebook page crop up with a link to a '£75 Aldi coupon'. As this didn't appear very legitimate, we checked with Aldi and it's confirmed this IS A FAKE COUPON, so avoid visiting the dodgy page and don't sign up.

Aldi posted on Facebook: "Please be aware that this competition and voucher is fraudulent and cannot be redeemed in our stores."

For a list of genuine coupons, see our Supermarket Coupons page.

Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut is currently £10.99 a bottle in store and online at Aldi. If you're shopping online you'll need to buy a case of six bottles (you can mix and match different bottles), so if you just want one, you'd be better off visiting a store (find your nearest).

We've seen this bottle go down to £9.99 before, we'll update you here if it goes back down.
