Aldi shoppers ‘can’t cope’ with new Easter toys based on an iconic character
ALDI shoppers can barely contain their excitement after the retailer unveiled a new Easter toy.
The German discounter, which has more than 1,000 branches in Britain, is to add a new root vegetable to its shelves, but not the edible kind.
The chain will introduce an Easter Kevin in stores on March 14, with two outfits to choose from.
Shoppers can pick up a sheep or lamb themed version for £3.99 from the Specialbuys section of their nearest branch.
But that means stock is limited, so you’ll have to act quickly if you’re keen to buy one for the kids, or even for yourself.
Shoppers have already noticed that the toys, based on Aldi’s traditional Christmas mascot, will hit the shelves in a few weeks.
One said: “I don’t need these… but I WANT them”, while another simply said: “Cute”.
A third fan, tagging a friend, said: “Please set the alarm in the phone and support me in my next quest.”
And a fourth could barely contain his excitement, saying: “I can’t deal with this.”
If you want to pick up one of the toys, remember that Aldi doesn’t do deliveries, so you’ll have to head to the nearest branch.
You can find your nearest store using the retailer’s online search tool.
It comes after Aldi fans queued outside stores from the early hours after the retailer launched new Kevin the Carrot toys ahead of Christmas.
Shoppers went berserk over the stuffed animals from William Conker and his friends.
It was much the same in 2022, with shoppers having to queue outside their local branches from 4am.
Others were left in a virtual queue after trying to get their hands on one of the cute toys online.
And in recent years, real fights have broken out in the aisles as parents fought to get their hands on them.
How to save money at Aldi
If you plan to do some shopping this spring while picking up one of the Kevin the Carrot toys, you can save some money in the process.
It’s worth looking out for products with red stickers, which staff add to items when they have been reduced in price.
Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning, so if you want to get the best discounts, it’s best to get in early.
Also keep an eye on the discounted fruit and vegetables: according to deal expert Tom Church, the retailer tends to cut six items every two weeks to “crazy low” prices.
Get ahead of the rest by signing up for Aldi’s newsletter and also following the retailer on social media.
It often announces upcoming deals across its two channels, so you can be the first to get the best prices.
And of course, take advantage of Aldi’s cheap alcohol, which can save you some money compared to branded versions.
