'I shopped Lidl's middle aisle this weekend and found summer items for less than £20 - my top five picks'

Shopping in Lidl's infamous 'middle aisle' section has become somewhat of a favourite past-time for many of us. Will you walk out with a new kettle? A new ironing board? You never really know until you get there.

The supermarket's aptly titled 'Middle of Lidl' has gained itself a cult following thanks to its range of eclectic products that you didn't need until...well, you did.

One minute you'll be picking up your groceries, then before you know it you're browsing those iconic aisles without ever realising it. By the time you leave, you're guaranteed to have bought something that wasn't on your grocery list.

What makes the aisles even more wonderful, is that most of the product ranges change twice a week. Every Sunday and Thursday brings about new products and offers for you to explore.

It also leads to stock selling out incredibly fast, meaning you just have to buy that sausage roll maker when you see it. Or, that's what I told myself when I found myself in those aisles once again.

Last time I ventured to my local Lidl, I managed to find a range of homeware and kitchen items for less for less than £30. Since I am such a fan, I wanted to see what would be available this time round.

So, once again, I popped into the store based on Hutcheon Street, Aberdeen, to see what kind of deals were on offer this Sunday, May 15.

And it is good news for anyone who is looking items that will help them take advantage of the possible good weather we hope to have for the upcoming summer.

This weekend's middle aisle section was packed full of products to help you enjoy the warmer weather. The even better news is that I managed to find five highlights that cost less than £20 - meaning you won't be breaking the bank anytime soon.

So, whether you need some fun games for the whole family, or for the family pet, here were my top five highlights from Lidl's Middle Aisle this weekend.
