The prices have been slashed on an extensive range of goods, from food to garden accessories and footwear.
There are also plenty of back to school Specialbuys available, including shoes, uniform items and lunch bags.
Tom said: “Aldi’s school uniform event is back this week, with bargain jumpers, shoes, and shirts. But don’t miss some of the other new bargains too.”
So here’s the top-10 products Tom recommends nabbing before the deal ends:

When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store’s times by using the supermarket’s
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and .
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
Tom said: “These sauces are a nice way to add flavor to your dishes without spending a fortune.”
Just like Subway, the sauces on offer are sweet onion, chipotle mayonnaise, marinara and teriyaki-style glaze.
The bottles are hilariously named Metro sauce, from Aldi’s Bramwells range, and even have a yellow and green logo – just like Subway.
The Aldi items are available in-store and online, but once stocks have sold out, they won’t be replenished.
