The supermarket is selling an electric scarifier for just £69.99 while stocks last.

The scarifier has similar functionality as the Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter, which tends to retail for between £139 and £189.
Both products are corded electric scarifiers that can improve the health of your lawn ahead of the summer.
The Aldi tool, which has scarifier and aerator settings, is designed to remove moss and thatch from your lawn before aerating it.
It has similar functionality to the Bosch model, with both boasting a cutting width of around 32cm.
The Aldi model has a removable 45-litre collection bag and a five-stage height adjustment, while the Bosch model has a 50-litre collection bag and four height settings.
And, the Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter has a 1,100-watt motor, compared to Aldi’s 1,300-watt motor – so the cheaper model may even be more powerful.
The product is one of Aldi’s Special Buy offers, which are offered only while stocks last.
It’s being sold as part of a wider garden event so if you’re looking to upgrade your outside space it’s worth taking a look.
If you are keen to pick up Aldi’s cut-price version, you will have to act quickly, as it is a limited edition item so once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Shoppers have recently rushed to the supermarket to pick up bargains from a toys event, as well as a bargain £16.99 gadget that gets your clothes wrinkle-free in seconds and are getting ready for a must-have garden furniture set to return.
But remember it’s important to shop around to make sure you are getting the best deal.
Although Aldi is offering discounts on items they may not always be the cheapest on offer.
Use comparison websites such as PriceRunner or PriceSpy to check the price of items at different shops to make sure you are always getting the cheapest price.
How can I save money when shopping at Aldi?
Specialbuy items are some of the best value items on offer at Aldi.
The most popular items often sell out very quickly so you need to know what is coming in.
Sign up to the supermarket’s mailing list for information on upcoming specialbuys.
Or keep an eye on Aldi’s website as it lists all the specialbuys coming in each week.
Typically specialbuys tend to come out twice a week on a Wednesday and Sunday.
If you are desperate to get your hands on an item then head to your local Aldi early on these days to avoid disappointment.
Aldi often offers discounts on food with an expiry date of one day or less.
This includes item which have not yet been marked down.
The discounts on offer vary but the biggest saving of up to 75% can be seen on items which expire on the same day.
Items which expire the next day could be discounted by 30%.
The exact discount can depend on the item and prices will be automatically reduced at the till.
Meanwhile, every two weeks Aldi selects half a dozen seasonal items and slashes their price as part of its “super six” deal.
This could save you money on your shop and help you to eat a wider variety of fruit and vegetables.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
