A BARGAIN hunter has shared her top finds on Aldi shelves – and they are perfect for the warmer weather
TIKtoker Ashleigh Money Saver shared the “absolutely delicious” range in a video walking through her local store.
Aldi’s newest addition is a range perfect for barbecues, featuring a range of kebabs including chicken and chorizo or garlic and herb for £3.99.
She exclaimed “hopefully the summer will follow!” after displaying bargains for the warmer weather.
Pork belly slices with different marinades were also available, with salt and chilli pork belly slices at only £3.49.
To go alongside those weekend barbecues, the video shows Aldi’s new range of sauces including house burger relish at £1.29 and caramelised onion relish for the same price.
With warmer evenings on the way, Aldi’s snack selection is perfect for appetisers or as Ashleigh suggests, for charcuterie boards.
These include Italian crackers for only £1.49, and new Cheezios crisps come in sizzlin’ steak and fiery hot flavour along with Kentucky Smoked BBQ crinkle cut crisps for only £1.15.
More healthy items in time for summer included a range of vegetable pastas, which Ashleigh believes “are really good for you and really affordable”.
Options range from red lentil and bean fusilli, to green pea penne pasta, and chickpea fusilli – all now reduced to £0.89.
According to the video the new Toxic Waste sour lemon and lime with strawberry slime ice lollies are perfect for kids at just £1.69.
We’ve carried out a price comparison of products at different supermarkets.
It’s always worth bearing in mind that prices can vary from day to day based on offers available that week.
Asda kebabs are slightly more expensive, priced at £4.40 in the same flavours as shown in the video as well as Tesco’s sweet and smoky kebabs at £5.00.
But, Iceland’s range of barbecue meat features a multi-buy price of 3 for £10 ranging from lamb and mint koftas to satay chicken skewers.
For summer pasta salads, Tesco also have a range of healthy pasta options, with red lentil fusilli for £1.70 and spinach farfelle for a cheaper 75p .
For snacking options Asda have similar price options to Aldi with smoked paprika and sour cream hand cooked crisps at £1.35 and doria Italian crackers for £1.19.
One of final items that ‘Ashleigh Money Saver’ picks up are ice lollies, which she says are great “if you kids love the Toxic Waste foods as much as mine there are ice lollies”.
Ice lolly deals at other supermarkets are similarly priced, including Iceland’s new Xtreme Chewits ice lollies for £2.50 and Sainsbury’s Rainbow lollies for £1.30.
As you can see if you decided to fill your trolley at Aldi there are plenty of new summer bargains to try out, especially on the barbecue.
As always, remember to check elsewhere in case we missed a cheaper price – there’s never a bad time to catch a bargain.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
