WHILE many of us are eagerly awaiting the return of the warmer weather, for others, the sticky heat is the stuff of nightmares.
From cold flannels to staying indoors, some people can’t think of anything worse than having the pounding sun on their heads.
So, if you spend your nights tossing and turning in bed in a bid to try and get some shuteye, then you may just want to listen up!
That’s because shoppers have been racing to Aldi to snap up a new gadget that’s hit the SpecialBuy section – and people are saying it’s a “need” not a want.
The in-demand product in question is the innovative and efficient ‘Ambiano Bladeless Fan,’ which retails at a very reasonable £39.99 and is the perfect way to keep you cool with little-to-no noise pollution.
One delighted customer named Vicki Hough rushed online to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and shared a video of the fan in action.
The fan has three different speed settings, with the top speed going at an incredible 1250 rotations per minute, and features a digital touchscreen and remote control which has super handy for altering the power setting from a distance, such as while you’re in bed.
Plus, there’s also an integrated timer to help you stay cool throughout the day.
When’s the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store’s times by using the supermarket’s online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
The Aldi buy is a great alternative to the pricier Dyson Pure Cool Purifying Fan, which will set you back a whopping £399.99 – meaning you can save yourself a rather impressive £350.
It wasn’t long before the post garnered quite the reaction online, with many eager to know more.
“Is it noisy at all?” asked one social media user, to which Vicki replied: “No louder than a regular fan.”
In response to another person who questioned whether the fan is powerful, the delighted shopper simply replied: “Yes!”
Elsewhere, others told how they were keen to get their hands on the handy gadget before the heatwave hits and it’s a total sellout.
“They’re awesome!” praised one.
A second tagged her sister and wrote: “I’m getting one…I think dad would like this.”
Another wrote: “Need these in our rooms!”
And a further added: “If you go can you see if there is one please?”
