A MUM reckons she’s stumbled across the “best find at Aldi EVER” in a £3.99 tap adapter.
Amy was shopping at her local supermarket when she found the swivel tap aerator, and thought she’d give it a go for her kitchen.
And when she got home and tried it out, she quickly realised she’d done the right thing by making the £3.99 purchase.
She took to TikTok to share a video of the gadget in action, showing how she attached it to the bottom of her tap.
Amy was then able to direct the flow of water, as well as changing it from a steady stream to a waterfall effect.
“Best find at Aldi EVER!” she wrote over the top of the video.
Posting it on TikTok, she captioned the video: “Just levelled up the kitchen tap for less than £4 from @Aldi.
“It’s the little things!”
Amy added in the comments section that she was “surprised how good my water pressure was after putting it on”.
The aerator “simply attaches to your tap to create the perfect stream for washing up”, according to the Aldi website.
“Suitable for high pressure systems, make a difference to your kitchen that you’ll appreciate.”
“I want!” one person commented on Amy’s TikTok video.
The device also works to save you money in the long run.
As it acts as a sieve, separating a single flow of water into multiple streams, there’s less space for the water to flow through – therefore reducing the water flow and the amount you pay for your water.
According to the Tap Warehouse website, using a tap aerator can “reduce the flow of water by up to 10 litres per minute, taking the flow from 18 litres per minute to just 8”.
Due to this, lots of water companies provide aerators for free, which many people pointed out in the comments on Amy’s clip.
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.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
“You can get these for free from your water company,” one wrote.
“I got mine free from my water company,” another added.
“It’s genuinely free on the severn trent water website,” a third commented.
