This Week at Aldi: The Ad for April 28, 2021

Last Updated on April 28, 2021

Each week we highlight a few of the more interesting items in the upcoming Aldi ad. Note that, in our area, the ad takes effect on Wednesday, but in some areas it may take effect as early as today, Sunday.

This week’s theme is more gardening supplies; accessories for the lawn, porch, or patio; Mother’s Day gifts (Mother’s Day is May 9th this year); kids’ gear; and special fiesta-related food and kitchenware for Cinco de Mayo.

While you’re here, you can also check out our post on Mother’s Day gifts at Aldi here, and our post on Gardening with Aldi is here.

The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:

Belavi Wooden Raised Planter

  • Belavi Wooden Raised Planter, $49.99. This is the first time Aldi has sold a large raised planter like this. Aldi has sold raised garden beds in the past, and they sell all kinds of flower pots, other planters and even plant stands, but we’ve not previously seen them sell something on this scale. These planters are ideal for placing on a patio, deck, or porch. Plants are not included. The planter is made from FSC Certified Chinese Fir and includes a water-repellent foil liner to separate wood from soil. Its capacity is 15.85 gal. (60 L) and it holds up to 220 lb., and it measures 34.25″ W x 18.11″ D x 31.89″ H”. People who may not be able to do some of the physical labor such as kneeling and bending that traditional gardening requires often find these types of planters appealing, but they also work well if you’re trying to keep rabbits or other pests out of your garden. We had hoped to buy this planter once it hit Aldi stores and planned to write more about it, but our local store’s limited stock sold out too quickly for us to get a hold of one. Instead of a full review, we’ve got information about it in an open thread post here.
