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 items for the dorm room or around the house, school supplies, lunch bags and lunch bag accessories, kitchen products, and some clothing and footwear.
Speaking of back-to-school supplies, you can read our thoughts on school shopping at Aldi during a pandemic here.
The Most Interesting Thing We Saw:
- Bestway Inflate-A-Chair, $14.99. The Bestway brand is not exclusive to Aldi, but this is one the cheapest inflatable chairs I’ve seen. These look like they might be both useful and fun in a teen or tween bedroom or in a dorm room.
