With summer finally here, plenty of Brits are looking forward to a spot of alfresco dining in parks, gardens and other beauty spots. Picnics are a strong summer tradition for many, but can pose practical problems at times.
Picnic baskets can be bulky and annoying to carry, especially when venturing up a hill for your romantic outdoor date. On particularly hot days, it can be difficult to keep food cool and drinks crisp, making the experience a little less enjoyable.
Aldi is known for its iconic middle aisles, providing different wares every week. Now that the warmer months are upon us, the supermarket chain has some life-changing summer staples, especially when it comes to picnics.
