Aldi reveals its Specialbuys every Thursday and Sunday, and the goodies on offer can range from feather dusters to fishing tackle. But this week's Specialbuys are themed around a specific "event". And the bargains are amazing.

Starting on Thursday, July 4, the treasures you'll find in the middle aisle will include a range of "back to school" products, which are aimed at helping parents stock up for the end of the summer holidays in early September.

The Amazing School Event is running now, in that legendary middle aisle, and the items you can buy include a premium lunch bag, football boots, and sustainable trainers.

The bargains include school trousers for just £1.75, a school sweatshirt for just £1.50, and a twin pack of polo shirts for £1.75.

Parents can also grab items to help their children keep up with their learning through the summer holidays, such as a 99p workbook themed around either numbers, maths, or writing.

Aimed at learners aged 3+ to 9+, the bargain books can set children up for their return to school after summer, and help with homework once they're back in class.

Lily and Dan two-tier lunch bags are also on offer for just £5.99, with themes including Monochrome, Mermaid, Tie Dye or Football. And there's a selection of 600ml water bottles available for £3.49, featuring Pokemon, Peppa Pig, Blippi, Squishmallows, Minecraft, Rainbow High, Harry Potter or Sonic the Hedgehog.
