As the Australian sun blazes down, there's nothing quite like the familiar jingle of a travelling truck to spark memories of simpler times.

For those who recall the joy of treats that didn’t break the bank, something special is making its way through town, rekindling that old-school charm with a fresh twist.

With its journey now underway, it’s delivering a slice of nostalgia that feels just as sweet as it once did.

ALDI, the well-known discount supermarket known for its exceptional deals, is taking its bargains on a delightful journey—hitting the road with a brand-new ice cream truck.

The best part is the prices are so low they'll have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief.

With ice creams starting from a mere 36 cents and nothing priced over $1, it's like stepping into a time machine!

The ALDI Ice Cream Truck is embarking on a sweet tour along Australia's East Coast, making three stops where residents can indulge in a budget-friendly treat.

The journey began on Thursday, 30 January, with Sydney locals having the first dibs at Balmoral Reserve near the Rotunda from 11 am to 3 pm.

But don't worry if you missed the first stop—more to come.

The ice cream truck is set to visit Victoria next, parking at Brighton's Green Point Reserve on Sunday, 2 February, from 11 am to 3 pm.

And for the grand finale, the ALDI Ice Cream Truck will make its way North to the Sunshine Coast, offering up deals at the Alexandra Heads Surf Life Saving Club on Saturday, 8 February, from 11 am to 3 pm.

What makes this ice cream truck even sweeter is the cause it supports.

One hundred per cent of the ALDI Ice Cream Truck sales will be donated to ALDI's national charity partner, Camp Quality, to aid children facing cancer and their families.

It's a chance to treat yourself while contributing to a noble cause.

Andrew King, ALDI Australia's Buying Director, shared the excitement: 'ALDI's Ice Cream Truck is delivering extra sweet savings this summer, so Aussies can beat the heat without breaking the bank,’

‘The super delicious and incredibly affordable treats up for grabs showcase a great variety of our most iconic ice creams direct from the freezer aisle to the people of Sydney, Melbourne, and the Sunshine Coast.'

From the retro-inspired Summer Delight to the refreshing Tropical and Rainbow Stackerz, there's a flavour for everyone to enjoy.

And the prices will have you joyfully screaming for ice cream like when you were a kid.

While the truck can't visit every town across the country, ALDI ensures everyone can still get their frozen treat fixed at their local stores for exceptionally low prices.

All the ice creams sold on the truck are also available in packs of four to 14 in the ALDI freezer aisle, ensuring that no one misses out on the fun.

So, dear members, if you're near any upcoming stops, don't miss this chance to relive your childhood and enjoy a delicious ice cream for just a few cents.

And for those who can't make it, remember that ALDI’s freezer aisles are always stocked with these affordable treats.
