My Aldi finds are perfect for summer – the lovely £12.99 buy is even bigger and cheaper than B&M’s version
HANDS up if you're desperate to give your outdoor haven a glow up before the warmer weather hits?
Well, one savvy woman has proven you haven't got to splash the cash to make a huge difference...because she's spotted several bargain buys in Aldi which will do the job for as little as £2.99.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@louisehenryuk), the bargain hunter named Louise shared a run-through of some of the must-have summer essentials, including an outdoor rug that's ideal for rejuvenating your garden.
"Literally bought one of these from B&M a couple of weeks ago but this one was bigger and the same price - gutted!" she says.
"Picture doesn't do it justice but it's a lovely neutral colour."
For anyone else looking for another stylish addition to their garden, then Louise points out there's also a "cute little sage bistro set" on offer.

Alternatively, if you're after a much cheaper way to revamp your outdoor haven, then look no further than the 'Classic Trough Planter Reservoir.'
Retailing at the bargain price of just £2.99, the planter, which includes an integrated water reservoir, is a great way to add some style to your outdoor space.
The online product description also comes with a very handy top tip which reads: "Add diluted plant feed into the reservoir to treat your plants to a steady supply of nutrients."
Shoppers can also expect to find an 'Inflatable Ottoman' in Aldi's middle aisle, which Louise says is "perfect for extra seating in the garden."
Priced at £9.99 each, they come with stylish removable covers, so you'll be sure to find an option that fits in to your outdoor space - no matter what the theme.
Not stopping there, the supermarket are also flogging a £19.99 'Garden Bright Solar Lamp Post' which is a quick and easy way to bring light into your outdoor space, while making the perfect centrepiece.
And for anyone who struggles in the heat, then there's a £16.99 'LED Portable Air Cooler' which is perfect for keeping you cool on the move.
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.
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 you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
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
The online product description reads: "It cools and humidifies the air around making those sweaty nights more bearable."
It's as simple as switching it onto sleep mode for all night comfort or selecting from the 3 speed levels any time of the day.
Louise says she's also a fan of the super versatile 'Indoor/Outdoor Plant Stand,' which can be used to decorate your hallways or even as a patio feature - and it costs just £9.99.
Not stopping there, she also praises the "gorgeous" terracotta plant pots" that are on offer for £3.99, and a £14.99 wooden planter, which is perfect for dressing doorways and patios.
