Bring a touch of summer to your table with ALDI’s new range—and prices start at just $6.99

There’s no better time to refresh your dining table than summer, and ALDI’s latest Special Buys collection is here to help. The supermarket favourite is bringing the charm of the Amalfi Coast to Australian homes with a new range of tableware and serving pieces that combine classic coastal style with everyday practicality. With prices starting at just $6.99, this collection proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to entertain in style.

Landing in the famous middle aisle on 25 October, this Mediterranean-inspired range is already creating excitement among bargain hunters. With its mix of vibrant colours, thoughtful details, and timeless designs, it’s set to be one of ALDI’s most talked-about homeware releases of the season.

A coastal touch perfect for Australian summers

As the days grow longer and the weather warms up, thoughts often turn to outdoor lunches, barbecues and relaxed family dinners. This collection captures that easy, sun-drenched feeling perfectly, with fresh whites, ocean blues and sunny yellows setting the tone for a bright and cheerful table.

The range features distinct Mediterranean motifs, from lemon and sea life patterns to breezy beach-inspired prints. The coordinated colours make it easy to mix and match pieces to suit any occasion—whether it’s a quiet breakfast for two or a festive family gathering.

The standout pieces worth lining up for

The ceramic serving trays, priced at $14.99 each, are already tipped to be the stars of the collection. Available in circular, oval or rectangular shapes, the trays come in both lemon-themed and under-the-sea designs.

One standout is the scalloped round tray, adorned with a lemon tree and the words ‘La Dolce Vita’. It’s an instant classic for anyone who loves a touch of Mediterranean flair.

The placemats are another crowd favourite, retailing for $14.99 each in four striking styles—a sea green shell, a blue and white sea plant pattern, a natural brown fan shell and a scalloped lemon motif.

Each design includes delicate beaded details, adding texture and depth to your table setting.

Smart entertaining on a budget

For those hosting outdoors, the serving tray with food cover ($29.99) is as clever as it is stylish. The wooden base features a fish motif, and the fitted mesh cover keeps food protected from flies—an elegant solution to a classic summer problem.

Even the smaller items bring thoughtful design to the table. The napkin rings, sold in sets of four for $14.99, come in matching underwater or lemon themes and feature the same beaded finishes as the placemats and coasters.

They’re sturdy enough to double as place card holders, adding a touch of polish to your next family meal.

Designer look, ALDI prices

The best part? This range offers designer-quality style at a fraction of the cost. Similar coastal-themed pieces from premium Australian retailers often cost upwards of $29 for a single plate, while ALDI’s versions come in sets of two for just $6.99.

It’s smart value for anyone looking to refresh their summer tableware.

The collection also includes three white dipping bowls ($6.99), each with a different blue sea life print at the base—ideal for serving nuts, olives, or dips when entertaining guests.
