I'm not one of those people who froth over Aldi's Wednesday bargains but I really wanted that jaffle iron.

Came very close to buying a dart board too.

I bought some power tools years ago and still use them to this day.

Also their Dutch gummies and licorice assortment is very nice too.

The man has bought all the power tools too. He did return the tyre pressure thingy just before the warranty ran out because it stopped working.

They regularly kill it with some pretty good basics. Some miss the mark tho. They recently had bulk dishwasher tabs that were more expensive than their own brand.

I think I paid more for lurpak than at Coles :(

But did you really think you'd ever need a plasma cutter? I saw this today and though, oh yeah, father's day.

Haha. The man may already have one of those. I don't ask questions.

Also I saw a lady with a jaffle iron under her arm today. I enjoy aldi. Some of the basics are cheaper than the same things at colesworth also. Plus their 50$ smart watch is good, does what I need it to.

The jaffle iron also makes donuts and waffles. I needed one.

I’m not sure if it’s coincidence but I’m going to be making jaffles for dinner tonight to treat myself.

Just some Devon meat, smokey cheese and mushrooms and it’s going to be stacked
