I have a problem. A serious problem. Wednesday is usually everyone's 2nd favourite day of the working week because it's hump day but Wednesday is actually my favourite because the Aldi's specials catalogue comes out every Wednesday.
I'm an Aldi addict. I may work in marketing but I still get sucked into their genius marketing tricks week in week out. To the point where I will line up on Wednesday/Saturday mornings (note this is when the specials are released) along with the rest of Hurstville to get those specials.
An Aldi addict that only gives 4/5 stars? That doesn't make sense. So the reason for the missing star is that Hurstville Aldi is CRAZY!!!! I wish this wasn't the closest Aldi to me but it's a dog fight for the specials each week. The sports specials, the winter clothing specials, the ski specials. My goodness the crowd has arrived by 8.20 at least. As soon as the doors open at 8.30 it's a mad rush to get your size. If you're late (by late I mean about 8.40) you might as well not show up. The other thing with Hurstville is they must carry a very limited number of size S as they are gone like this. Limited supply and over demand is never a good thing! Be prepared... be very prepared to fight to the death and have those shoppers who come to do normal grocery shopping with their trollies roll their eyes at you as they struggle to get past the crowd towards their fresh produce.
I must say though you can get really good deals at Aldi. A pair of hiking boots for $35? Say What?!!! Premium ski jacket for $99? GET OUT!
One tip. If you use a debit card and pay with pay pass it's an extra 0.5% but if you insert the card into the machine and put in your pin no surcharge.
It's Wednesday today... yes I have picked up my catalogue. Time to get browsing. read more
