Budget supermarket Aldi has shoppers obsessed with its latest SpecialBuy item, which customers say are “so cute”.
Aldi’s SpecialBuys often prove popular with shoppers, many of whom anxiously await Thursdays and Sundays to see what they’ll be able to get their hands on. Recently, SpecialBuy products have included everything from hanging egg chairs to hot tubs - but this time, it's the retailer’s new Jubilee-themed Kevin the Carrot plush toys shoppers are loving.
The patriotic new plushies have been released by Aldi to mark the Queen’s 70 years of service. Among the toys available are a Flag Waving Kevin, a Union Jack Kevin who dons a patriotic suit, while Kevin’s wife Katie matches sporting a Union Jack dress and the classic Queen’s Guard also features.

Prince Charles, who dons his traditional medal adorned scarlet tunic, and Her Majesty’s Corgis are also available to buy in a choice of brown or grey.
The retailer took to its dedicated Specialbuy Instagram account this week to share the new Kevin the Carrot plushies.
