The Aldi range may be a fantastic alternate option than Jellycat products that’s also more budget friendly.
Jellycats on a Budget
Prices for Jellycat animal, a popular plushie brand, start from £18 and can up to to £200, but you’ll only need less than £3 for the Aldi version.
The German retailer is selling sea life versions of the cuddly toys for £2.99 and they can be found in the pet aisle.
Shoppers can get their hands on either an octopus, mantra, starfish or turtle.
The scented toys are 24x12cm big and 11cm in thickness, they also feature a squeaker inside to keep your pooches entertained.
Aldi’s product listing reads: “Give them something to sniff, smell and wag their tails over with Scented Plush Dog Toy.”
But you need to hurry in to get your hands on the toy as they’re only in store while stocks last.
What are Jellycats?
Jellycat is a brand known for its fun soft toys for babies and children.
However, many adults also love the collections which include plushies based on food, seasonal items, animals and more.
They’ve been making cute pieces since 1999 and add on their website: “The name Jellycat was dreamt up by a child who loved jellies and cats and giggled at the thought of the two together.”
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 online shop finder tool.
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.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
Jellycat Crime
There is such as a craze around Jellycats, that some people have even turned to crime to get their hands on some.
There has been a major toy-snatching crime wave sweeping the UK – and fakes cropping up left right and centre.
One woman was caught on CCTV stuffing a “significant amount” of the trendy plushies from St Peter’s Garden Centre, Worcester, into her trousers and bags.
The 38-year-old was busted helping herself to the incredibly popular soft toys from the shelves on June 7 this year.
The next day she struck again at The Valley shopping centre in Evesham, where she pinched Jellycats worth £121.
She later returned to the same shopping centre where she stole a further £170 worth of the toys.
