Beauty fans are racing to get their hands on new £3.99 Aldi Specialbuy – but not everyone is impressed
ALDI’S middle aisle bargains frequently cause a stir with shoppers, and the budget supermarket has unveiled a beauty item you can get for £3.99.
The retailer uploaded a video and a photo of its vegan and environmentally friendly 'Natural Deodorant' that costs under a fiver.
They wrote: “Keep your skin hydrated with our Lacura Natural Deodorant.
“This creamy formula is enriched with Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil to ensure you're being kind to your skin and the environment.”
The natural deodorant helps to neutralise odours, all while conditioning the skin.
Although a photo of the beauty product racked up nearly 1,000 likes, shoppers were torn in the comments.

Some raved about it and said they would be rushing to Aldi to stock up.
One person wrote: “Ooo these sound good.”
Another added: “I love these. The coconut smells so nice.”
However, some Aldi customers said they weren’t big fans of the deodorant.
One shopper shared: “These are really hard to get on with.
“The product is so solid that it doesn’t glide on the skin and it pulls.”
A second continued: “These don’t work at all. I brought one recently & I sweat through it.”
The other Aldi Specialbuys items seemed to go down better with shoppers, it appeared.
Among the other bargain buys on offer were 'Solar Bubble String Lights,' which retail at £4.99 and are the perfect way to light up everything from your garden pathway, trees and patio to your pergola.
They come with a battery operated remote and the option of a warm or pastel light that'll help to give your outdoor haven that cosy and magical feel.
There is also a selection of purchases on offer for the warmer weather - including a £16.99 'LED Portable Air Cooler' which will keep you cool on the go.
The online product description reads: "It cools and humidifies the air around making those sweaty nights more bearable."
You simply need to pop on to sleep mode for all night comfort or choose from the 3 speed levels any time of the day.
Why do you always spend loads in Aldi's famous middle aisle?
By Kate Kulniece
Denise Van Outen paired up with Channel 4 in their latest programme, Secrets of the Middle Aisle to uncover why you always spend loads in Lidl & Aldi's famous middle aisle.
''You pop in for a pint of milk and pick up… a paddle board,'' the TV presenter said.
This, turns out, is ''absolutely essential'' for these German giants who've become so popular across the world.
Retail consultant and author, Miya Knights, said it's all about the element of surprise - you never know what you're going to stumble across whilst walking around the store.
''The product assortment and the arrangements that they stock constantly change.''
''What Aldi and Lidl do is they give other customers the opportunity to engage sometimes with some products that we might not necessarily be able to buy otherwise if it wasn't for them,'' added retail analyst Kate Hardcastle.
''What they do is allow us almost a democratisation of bringing those goods into our homes.''
As for fashion, there's also plenty of options available.
Amongst them includes the 'Ladies' Shoulder bag' which is a total bargain at just £9.99.
A must-have this season, it comes with a detachable strap which allows you to switch between the two strap options, Webbing strap or PU Synthetic Leather so you get two looks in one.
Plus, it's available in range of colours - from black, grey, brown or cream, so there's something to suit no matter what your outfit.
And last but not least, parents can also snap up a pair of 'Children's Footbed Sandals.'

Comfortable and stylish, they're available in blue or pink in sizes 10-3 and look very much like a dupe for the much pricier Birkenstocks.
But rather than forking out £25, the cheap replicas are instead priced at just £4.99 - meaning a whopping saving of £20.01.
