A woman woke up at 4.30am on Sunday morning and took her deck chair to wait outside her local Aldi store from 5am in order to get her hands on the latest special buy - an air fryer. Lucky for her, she was the only one who made the early morning trip as when the manager turned up at 7am, she was told they only had one in stock.
Anne Grainger from Llandaff North took her chair and a flask to the Cardiff store on Excelsior Industrial Estate so she could get the air fryer as an early Christmas present for her daughter Victoria Grainger. The 58-year-old was surprised to find she was the only one there after reading about the hype for the special buy which is supposed to be arriving in stores today.
She said: "I thought I was being prepared, I thought there would be people waiting. The manager came about seven and they said we have only had one delivered, I couldn't believe it. They said some stores haven't even had any delivered."
