Best Aldi Specialbuys to buy now that are ideal for summer

While the warmer weather is still TBC in the UK this year, this doesn’t mean we can’t start preparing for summer at least.

With warmer spells – hopefully – on the way, we’ve got our sights set on Aldi’s Specialbuys July selection which is packed full of school, garden, baby, and beauty gear.

If you haven’t already heard of Aldi’s Specialbuys (what rock have you been under…?) it’s a collection of the best products available in its stores now. 

The supermarket giant releases a new selection of stock each week which is available to buy in store every Thursday and Sunday – but only while stock lasts.

To give you a hint of what’s to come, Aldi releases a list of all of its Specialbuys online the Friday before they are released in-store so you can pick and choose what you like before you shop.

This month, some of Aldi’s Specialbuys include lunch bags, sustainable trainers, table lamps, outdoor wall clocks, a wooden garden set, pram fans, a baby casting kit, scrapbook sets, vitamin C eye cream, and illuminating setting spray – so there’s something for everyone.

Some of our favourite buys for the week of July 21 include a shell sandpit for £7.99, a quick-up pool for £34.99 and, if you’re feeling splashy, you can get a sturdier metal frame pool for £129.99.

If you’re looking for some last-minute kitchenware, it’s hard to go past the July 14 drop which includes an air fryer for £49.99, a pizza slicer for £2.49, and some seriously stylish kettles for £12.99.
