Exact date Aldi Halloween sweets land in stores including Haribo, Maoam and Reese’s – prices start from 49p
ALDI has revealed when shopper can bag Halloween sweets with prices starting at just 49p.
Haribo, Maoam and Reese's will hit shelves soon in a treat for shoppers ahead of scary season.
The so-called "spooktacular" range is landing in stores on September 29 - a month before the day itself which is on Thursday, October 31.
Among the 49p deals, shoppers can snare Aldi's new milk chocolate mouse.
Meanwhile, Aldi witches wands will set you back just 59p, while Scary Sweets (99p) and Flying Saucers (99p) are others under a pound.
Maoams will be available in three different varietys - Stripes, Pin Balls and Joy Stixx, all £1.09 for a 140g packet.

A 140g packet of Stripes at Waitrose currently costs effectively the same price at £1.10, so it is still worth shopping around, particularly if you don't have an Aldi nearby.
You can find your nearest Aldi by using the store locator tool on the supermarket's website.
Haribo's super mini mix - a 336g bag - will cost £2.39.
Aldi said that shoppers "had better be quick to get their hands on the treats".
As with all Aldi Specialbuys "once they’re gone, they’re gone". That means they won't be restocked on shelves once they've sold out.
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.
It comes after Aldi shoppers were rushing to buy a dupe for a popular Cadbury's dessert.
Dairyfine Pots of Choc, Aldi's version of Cadbury's Dairy Milk Pots of Joy are described as a "smooth and creamy dessert".
How to save on Halloween
CUT-OUTS WON’T KEEP: Once carved, pumpkins last just three to five days before they start to rot. So wait until a day or two before Halloween to carve yours, to ensure you won’t have to buy a replacement.
CHILLING CARVINGS: Carve your pumpkin right first time. Download free templates from Hobbycraft to help ensure no slip-ups.
DEVILISHY CHEAP DECORATIONS: Create spooky spider webs using old string or rope.
PAY LESS FOR FACE PAINTS: Cut costs by using your old eyeliners and eyeshadows, and dab on some talc when you need a ghostly white shade.
CUT-PRICE CANDY: Before you buy sweets to give out as treats, clear out your cupboards and see what you have. If you need more, shop bulk deals and compare the price per kilo before you buy.
PETRIFYING POT LUCK: Ask your guests to each bring a delicious themed dish to your party to keep hosting costs down.
SPINE-CHILLING TUNES: Turn to YouTube for a frighteningly good free playlist. There are dozens of channels with hour-long music mixes.
HOLD A SPOOKY SWISH: Swishing — or clothes-swapping with friends — is an easy way to get a new wardrobe. Hold a spooky swish before Halloween to trade costumes for kids and adults.
FRIGHTENING FREEBIES: Sign up for a free local Halloween event. Check your local Nextdoor or Facebook pages, or search eventbrite.co.uk for ideas.
BLOODY GOOD DEAL: Don’t fork out for expensive fake blood. Make your own edible version instead. You can use it for cakes and to decorate costumes.
SHOP ON NOV 1: Be organised and bag the bargains for next year by hitting the shops the day after Halloween. Remember to buy your kids’ costumes a size larger to allow for growth.
One Aldi shopper posted a picture of the dessert on Facebook, which she said cost around £1.09-£1.19.
Speaking of Aldi sweets, shoppers have been left overjoyed after the supermarket's iconic Toblerone dupe returned to shelves.
Fans of the bargain retailer have been pleading for the Specially Selected Swiss chocolate bar to make a comeback and it appears the supermarket has given in.
The blonde bar is seen as a family favourite with happy customers describing it as "lush" as they race into stores to grab one.
Each 100g pack cost is now priced at £1.69.

Each bar is packed with delicious ingredients from white chocolate, honey, almond, nougat and salted caramel pieces.
An actual bar of normal Toblerone will set you back a hefty amount with the smallest offering being a 200g bar for £4 at Tesco.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
