Shoppers are going wild over ALDI's next 'mega bargain' on their Special Buys

ALDI has once again captured the attention of savvy shoppers with its latest 'Special Buys' announcement, promising a 'mega bargain' that's causing quite the stir.

The discount supermarket chain is known for its weekly deals that often include a wide range of products, from household appliances to furniture and even tech gadgets.

This time, the spotlight is on a 40-inch (101.6cm) TV priced at an incredibly low $299 that’s set to hit the shelves and potentially fly off just as quickly.



The upcoming deal features a Bauhn smart television equipped with WebOS Hub, allowing users to stream their favourite services like Netflix, Stan, and Disney+ without the need for additional devices.

The brand has become a favourite among budget-conscious consumers who appreciate the slim design and affordability compared to premium brands.

However, it's not just the price that's turning heads; it's the promise of an elevated experience at a fraction of the cost.

Despite the excitement, it's worth noting that Australian consumer advocacy group CHOICE has expressed reservations about the quality of ALDI's Bauhn televisions in the past.



CHOICE has pointed out that while the low prices are undeniable, the performance of these TVs has historically left room for improvement.

'So far we haven't really seen a Bauhn TV that's performed well,' CHOICE Tech Expert Denis Gallagher said.

'Of course, that can change with new models—we've seen that with other brands—but despite the undeniably low price, shoppers should be careful when considering these bargain models based on what we've seen.'

Customer feedback on social media has been mixed, with some praising the value for money and ease of use, while others have reported issues such as the TV breaking down unexpectedly.

'It's basically a Samsung TV for a third of the price. Super easy to use and the remote is so simple not a lot for clicking to find apps,' one mum wrote.

'I had an ALDI TV for years, [it was] very good,' another mum said.

While a third added: 'Terrible. Wouldn't get it as a main TV, but OK for a spare or kids' room (not for gaming, though).'

'We have had ours for a few years now (65-inch/165.1cm) and very happy with it and the price. Just added a cheap sound bar,' a fourth said.

'It's great, we've had two—the first one lasted ten years,' a fifth replied.



ALDI's 'Special Buys' are not limited to televisions.

The latest catalogue has also teased an 'industrial' style furniture range, including a $49.99 Industrial Bedside Table, a $129 Industrial Chest of 5 Drawers, a $89.99 Industrial Console Table, and a $39.99 C-Shaped Side Table.

The collection is perfect for those looking to add a touch of modernity to their home without breaking the bank.

One standout piece is the $89.99 Industrial Lift-Up Coffee Table, which doubles as a dining space and was a hit among shoppers when it was last available.

The $229 Round Swivel Chair, upholstered in trendy Boucle fabric, is another item that's expected to be in high demand.



For the kitchen, ALDI offers a selection of appliances in various colours, including Premium 4-Slice Toaster and Premium 1.7L Designer Kettle, as well as Premium Acacia Wood Boards and Assorted Serving Platters and Bowls.

Home cooks can look forward to the Air Fryer Oven for $129, a set of Stainless Steel Cookware Sets for $49.99, and Assorted Individual Knives starting at $6.99.

Additional kitchen gadgets include a $19.99 Mandoline Slicer, a $59.99 Premium Stick Mixer, and Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls 3-Piece Set for $29.99.

Pet owners haven't been forgotten, with ALDI providing a range of pet products such as a Memory Foam Pet Bed for $49.99, a Memory Foam Pet Mat for $19.99, Rope Dog Toys starting at $5.99, and Pet Stairs for $49.99 to help furry family members climb onto the bed.

As with all 'Special Buys', stock is limited, and the most sought-after items tend to sell out quickly.

Shoppers are encouraged to mark their calendars and arrive early on release day to snag these deals.

More low quality Aldi technology. It's built to a price and engineered obsolesence being the basic of most rubbish from Aldi. Will be another piece of rubbish going out for hard rubbish (or just dumped in a car park) in areas they seem to focus on (low income).

I bought a microwave from Aldi, never again. Within the year it was rusty inside. And I didnt go the cheapest that they had. Waste of money
