'I shopped Aldi's SpecialBuys this week - and I can't believe what I found'

Browsing through Aldi's iconic 'middle aisle' section is truly a wondrous experience.

The budget supermarket's eclectic range of items - also known as SpecialBuys- has gained a legion of fans who wait patiently for the newest items every Tuesday and Thursday.

From sell-out hanging egg chairs to children's toys, the German grocer's middle aisle is truly a treasure trove of unique items that you didn't know you needed.

Let's face it, how many times have you went in for your weekly groceries only to walk out with an ironing board or new kettle?

Don't worry, we have all done it. And I, for one, am a shopper who can't resist a quick trip down the iconic middle aisles, even if I have just popped in for some bread and milk.

I decided to head down to my local Aldi and see what I could find - and I wasn't disappointed.

Similar to Lidl's middle aisle, I managed to find a range of exciting offers on top branded items that wouldn't break the bank.

From the TikTok sensation Squishmallows, to some exciting kitchen products, I couldn't believe my luck when I found products that had recently gone viral or gained five-star reviews from shoppers online.
