We think it’s a great way to keep your little ones in the loop during the summer holidays - but you’ll need to move fast if you want to nab one.
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items - when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates."
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's
For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time.
You don't have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and .
As long as you spend at least £25, you'll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
The Instagram post, which was shared on the official @ page, has quickly amassed over 1,100 likes.
IF you aren't sure how to keep organised during the summer holidays, then you've come to the right place.
Senior Fabulous Writer, Sarah Bull, has shared her top tips...
FOOD: One thing I find difficult is keeping on top of my kids' constant requests for snacks.
Despite the fact they have one breaktime at school and then lunch, their demands for food during school holidays seem to be 24/7.
To make things easier, I've decided to bring in snack baskets for them.
They each have a certain amount of food (the same so that there's no arguments) and once it's gone, it's gone.
Not only does it make my life easier, it teaches them that they have to spread things out - and to maybe see if the 'hunger signals' are actually ones of hunger or thirst.
ACTIVITIES: It can be hard to keep your kids entertained - and six weeks can feel like an awfully long time.
One thing to take advantage of is having an outside space. If you have a garden, you can put bikes or scooters in there, or even a trampoline.
It keeps them entertained and also makes sure they're doing some kind of physical activity every day.
If you don't have the space for a climbing frame or added activities, why not give the kids a bucket of chalk and get them to draw on the paving slabs?
Or another one I did was to give the kids a 'magic solution' I needed painted on the wall (it was just water and washing up liquid) to protect it. They spent a good hour doing that!
CLOTHES: One thing I've used from when my daughter, now 6, started school is to use clothing drawers for her and my son, who's 10.
On a Sunday, I put all of their clothes, underwear, socks etc in the corresponding drawer for the week.
Usually it's uniform, but I still use the drawers during the holiday too.
It just makes things easier, more organised and less stressful - for all of us.
Social media users were impressed by the affordable buy and were keen to express this in the comments.
One person said: “We need this in our lives! What a fab idea!”
Another added: “Going to have to get one of these asap.”
A third commented: “I like this.”
