I'll sweat Aldi used to have all their Special Buys up on their website a couple of weeks ahead, currently it seems to be a matter of a few days.
Anything look 'interesting' in the brochure? Last year I had a rummage but nothing took my fancy enough to overcome my "do I really need it?" sensible head.

Eagerly awaiting to see what they have although all I think I need is some more of their socks. Everything will be available for online ordering tomorrow with free returns.

Lidl on the same day I think though their range seems to have shrunk and become even more soft goods e.g. dropped their excellent goggles and balaclavas

Usual Merino Base layers? Need a couple of tops for skiing/cycling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Merino base layers (£14.99) now have colours (and stripes!) instead of the original black. New this year is a merino mid-layer top (or heavy base layer) for £19.99.

They're now online, but really disappointing range. None of the nice leather gloves from last year, nor the more expensive socks, nor any compression base layers.

Is the online offer inline with what will be in store..? No merino/silk socks....good thing I have a dozen pairs!

Really really disappointing!! Those ski socks with silk in were amazing! Was hoping to pick up a few more pairs of them!
They seem to have ditched the 'pro' range which is a shame too

Looks like a lot of the Aldi Merino stuff has sold out online. Hate the stores, but might have to venture into one

I can't even comprehend the shame of food shopping at lidl/aldi, let alone allow my brain to consider the wretchedness of actually venturing onto the sacred slopes dressed in their "ski wear".

It seems to be live, I just ordered a pair of blue ski trousers to see what they are like although they won't ship until the Sunday 'live' date. Maybe the merino stuff got snapped up quickly on line if its that good.

When I asked them on twitter when the ski special buys is on they gave me too dates on was this Sunday and the other was I think 1st weekend on January so maybe that's when they will release the better stuff

I'm also ashamed that our regular shopping bill has dropped from about £150 (Sainsbury's) to about £90 by buying all the shameful products from the unmentionable store that begins with an A since it opened its new store 1/2 mile from our house in the spring just gone. I shudder at all that money I now have for other things. I also hate the fact that most of the stuff we have bought from there also seems to taste a lot better 
And before anyone says that I must live in a poor area because we now have this store, just another 1/2 mile away we have an M&S food supermarket as well as a Waitrose.

Arriving at Aldi at 10:15 this morning, I couldn't help but notice how busy the car park was. Was I too late???
I chucked the trolley token to my partner and abandoned her at the entrance as I hot stepped it to the end of aisle 2, following the golden arrows suspended from the ceiling, guiding me to the "seasonal special buys". As I turned the final corner, my fears were realised. The swarm had already descended. A powerful matriarch at its centre, commanding her troops. Terrified men emptied the cages of goodies into her fleet of trolleys so that she may then inspect their offerings and decide if they were pleasing to her. Shivering children were commanded to try on each outfit only to be commanded to get the next size up. Unsuitable offerings were cast into the vegetable aisle.
I could feel a hundred pairs of eyes upon me as I side stepped into range of the merino base layers. One word from the matriarch and I could have been torn limb from limb. I took my chance, grabbed two base layers and ran for safety.
Till next year!!

@letsgetpiste,
Approx 50+ people queued outside our local Aldi at 9:50 this morning. Talk about swarm of locusts. Obviously some very practiced people there lining their trolleys up behind them to stop others getting to goods. One couple managed to stand completely in front of the Merino base layers not letting anyone else get at them until they had finished sorting through all of them. Rush all over by 10:45 with the staff then having tidy up a complete mess.

Got myself fully kitted out this morning. Yes, the locusts were in but we have 2 Aldi s less than 2miles apart. Got most of what I wanted in the first one and nipped in the second and picked up some ski pants in my size.
Maybe not as amazing quality as other places (or even compared to previous years offerings) but I'm on a diet having lost 2 stone (with another couple to go) so they don't have to last that long. For the money therefore, I'm quite chuffed.
Noticed they had helmets and goggles in there too. Anyone know if they are any good?

The merino base layers were the only thing to be sold out within 15 minutes, do wonder if some EBay seller had taken them all

Picked up some merino base layers at Hemel for me and my son. The hats were more of interest to gathered matriarchs it seemed. Worn one today umpiring Hockey, seems really good for the money with more normal length arms than the last one I got, (which were v short)

For all my poor attempts at trolling. I spent 40 quid in aldi today, couple of base layers, couple of tops and some gloves. Bargain!

@SnoodyMcFlude,
Family in front of us at check out spent £325. Looked like they kitted out a family of 4. Would have cost them a whole lot more anywhere else.

Picked up socks, several pairs of gloves to to do me the next few months, and a pair of salopettes for teaching in.
