...to buy Christmas presents from Aldi's wtf aisle

[yy558]

What the title says really. I really love Aldi and their wtf aisle every week. I've since converted my husband who is now equally if not more excited at the workshop range of goodies.

Anyways they've got some great pots, and candles and quilts which I think would make great presents but would people judge me as cheap? (Last year the Christmas desserts I've taken to my in laws have always gone down well and they only eat m and s)

DH got some great leather slip on Birkenstock style sandals in the summer for £7.99!

Exactly like this.

Not at all, as long as you are buying it because its genuinely nice, not just because its cheaper! I think their spa candles are gorgeous and I have a few rugs and garden bits from there :)

@summercat and @maudebegone

PMSL!

Also just to add, I bought a little rug in there for £5.99 in summer, googled to see if anyone else is selling it as i'd like another for the front door and wayfair are now selling the exact same one for £12.99 plus postage. I think Aldi just have clever buyers!

@hopefullybettersoon I think it's Aldi that have the wooden toys in from Thursday

(Apologies for the huge link!) I am getting the gorgeous wooden kitchen for my 2yo nephew for Christmas

It’s the Aisle of dreams!

We call it the Aisle of Shame here. My dad conveniently lives opposite a Lidl and I've converted him but I might need to re-train him onto the Aisle of Shite. That's brilliant.

We call it 'What's in the middle at Lidl?' (Even if we're in Aldi).

Last week I noticed a poster in Lidl headlined MIDDLE OF LIDL

Was new I'm pretty sure, because I mentioned it to the checkout girl & she hadn't noticed it. We both agreed it's a shame Aldi can't use it

That kitcheh is lovely and so much better than the plastic junk for twice the price!

kitchen!

@Cambalamb isn't it just, I couldn't believe it for the price - my sister will appreciate it so much more than the plastic tat!

Blimey! An actual armchair at Aldi

They'll be selling bathroom suites & fitted kitchens soon

We call it the central aisle of bad decisions. I buy loads of Christmas pressies from Lidl and Aldi. If folk are pissed off about where the gifts come from I won't be buying for them again!

YADNBU! I'd be thrilled with anything from the Aisle of Wonder!

Aisle of Wonder here.

You all need the "Ballad of Lidl & Aldi". I defy you not to sing the chorus!

It's known as the 'Even Better Than That..' section in our house, after the old Fast Show sketch.

A few weeks ago I struggled into Lidl with a broken leg as they had gym gear I wanted for my son at half the price you would pay elsewhere.
I love the isle of Radom stuff and have noticed my local Tesco has now introduced baskets of randomness as well.

Hi for it! If someone bought me chocolate, candles, Reed diffuser, gin, Prosecco or their Irish cream liquor I would be very happy! A lot of their special buys are of great quality.

Go for it not Hi for it!

The Square of Treasure - Amazing.

We tend to call it "The Middle Aisle of Wonder"

I think it’s like the magic faraway tree, you never know what exciting land you will find when you walk in.

Unless you get the leaflets. But I don’t, because that would ruin it.

Aisle of Shite here too. Had some good stuff amongst the shite from the Midl of Lidl.

I didnt know they did online stuff too, brilliant
