All the bargains hitting Lidl middle aisle this week – including gardening essentials, outdoor rugs and a striking gnome

THERE’S a new middle aisle in town… and Lidl isn’t messing about. 

The budget supermarket has revealed that it’s middle aisles will be filled with gardening bargains over the next week as part of its “massive” Garden Event.

Starting today, the outdoor bargains are available in store until April 17 - or until stocks last. 

What’s more, members of the Lidl Plus App will get a further 20% off on most items. 

You’ll find everything from fairy lights, outdoor rugs, gnomes, wind spinners and citronella candles. 

The staple Livarno Home Cantilever Parasol will set you back £69.99. 

The large umbrella has been dubbed “elegant” and “perfect for your garden or patio” by Lidl bosses. 

“Direct the shade where you want it thanks to the adjustable tilt and arm that can be rotated in a full circle,” they added.

“The air-permeable canopy reduces wind damage and heat build-up.”

There’s four different outdoor light options, including two strings of weather-durable fairy lights. 

The Livarno Home LED Bulb String Lights will set you back £9.99 and are totally splashproof. 

The Livarno Home Solar Flaming Lantern String Lights are on sale at the same price, with the 10 mini lanterns having a warm white light and a decorative flickering flame effect.

Aldi bosses dubbed the string as “atmospheric lighting for your garden, patio or balcony”.

The £9.99 Livarno Home Solar Bulb String Lights are the perfect option for eco-conscious gardeners as they are solar-powered. 

By way of rugs, there’s stripe, zig zag and diamond designs for as cheap as £7.99. 

However, the real star of the show is the Livarno Home Garden Gnome.

The £7.99 character comes in hot pink or green and is sure to brighten up your outdoor space. 

Among the other items are watering cans, gardening gloves, buckets and spades.

Lidl bosses have also revealed that the chain is looking to open hundreds of new locations.

While the exact locations have yet to be confirmed, it aims to open high-street, standalone, mixed-use and shopping centre stores.

It currently has 960 outlets in the UK.

The supermarket chain is also looking to expand into retail parks, as well as metropolitan areas in London and around the M25.

Bosses have a target of 1,100 stores by the end of 2025.
