The sprayer is perfect for blasting your patio slabs with, to make them sparkling and looking as good as new.
Additionally, according to Aldi, it is "great for weeds control".
Although a warning displayed on the box warns that you cannot put herbicides into the sprayer, it can still help to banish weeds.
Simply place a weed killing substance such as salt or white vinegar onto the weeds, and once they have died, blast them with the sprayer to dislodge the roots.

"Use a pressure washer or a hose to remove the soil from the cracks so weeds can't germinate," explained Noelle Johnson, horticulturist and author of The Water-Smart Garden.
"The strong stream of water from a pressure [washer] will, at times, dislodge the weed or at the very least cut it off below the surface of the crack," added Brad Fowler, urban horticulture extension agent.

MORE cheap hacks to banish weeds from your garden for good.
BRUSH OFF: Gardening fans have raved about the Rolson Weed Brush, which you can buy from B&M.
One social media user commented: "This is my new friend. £4 from B&M", whilst a second agreed: "I used one of these too and it's brilliant. It removes the whole weed too."
BAKE IT: Gardening enthusiasts have also praised baking soda for tackling weeds.
One man explained: ''What will then happen is the plants will absorb it, as they get damp when it starts to rain because they're thirsty - because it's been sunny. That's nature's way of killing it.''
WASH THIS: According to Sam Marlow, a gardening expert, washing powder is an affordable way to say goodbye to weeds.
He advised: "If you're on a budget, there's a cheap way to keep weeds at bay. If you want to remove persistent unwanted plants from paths or patios, try using washing powder. It's a super easy way to banish weeds once and for all.'
Perfect for penny pinchers, the Aldi dupe costs just £14.99, £123 cheaper the Bosch original which will set you back £127.99.
The bonkers 'corded bruschetter,' flips between an astonishing four functions.

Not only can it wipe away those pesky weeds with a hot air gun so powerful that it can also remove paint, but it also has a handy barbecue lighter and can varnish without the need for toxic chemicals.
The Aldi version is actually stronger than its more expensive competitor with a 2000 watt blast compared to Bosch's meagre 950 watt capability.
Unlike the mowtown massacre of traditional chemical weed killers, you'll finally win the war of the weeds with 'no brown spots in your lawn' or horticultural 'collateral damage.'
The Aldi offering even comes with five spare blades for when you inevitably drop one through a grate.

I tried custard creams from Lidl, Asda, Sainsbury's and more — one is a 10 out of 10 winner

Custard creams are one of our staple biscuits — but which supermarket provides the tastiest? Custard creams are an all-time British classic. You won't find a supermarket not stocking them, and it's likely any self-resepcting biscuit selection tin will also include the iconic biscuit, which has been around since 1908 and has been a staple for biscuit lovers ever since. ‌ Perfect with a cup of tea, I decided to try eight different varieties to see which supermarket's biscuit won. The supermarket taste test included M&S, Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Asda and Tesco — and I don't mind admitting I was surprised by the results. ‌ 1. Morrisons - 70p for 400g The custard cream from Morrisons lacked filling, and I couldn't really taste the filling too much. ‌ It was pretty standard and nothing too special compared to some of the others. Score: 6/10 2. Sainsbury's - 30p for 200g The custard cream from Sainsbury's had a little more filling and was super tasty. The texture was much nicer, and the biscuit was slightly crunchier. Score: 9/10 ‌ 3. Asda - 60p for 400g Asda's custard cream was less crumbly, and the biscuit had a nice texture. However, I couldn't taste the filling too much, and it wasn't a standout biscuit. Score: 7/10 ‌ 4. Tesco - 60p for 400g The custard cream from Tesco really wasn't anything special and I didn't like the texture or taste despite having quite a lot of filling. I found this biscuit to be quite dry compared to some of the others I tasted. ‌ Score: 5/10 5. Waitrose - £1 for 150g This custard cream from Waitrose was super tasty, and the texture of the biscuit was more of a shortcake. ‌ I did really enjoy this custard cream, but for the price, I think others were tastier. Score: 8/10 6. M&S - 50p for 175g ‌ M&S took the top spot for me with their double-stuffed custard cream, and it was super tasty. You could really taste the filling, the ratio was absolutely perfect, and definitely worth the price. Score: 10/10 7. Lidl - 49p for 400g Despite being super affordable, the biscuit tasted super cheap and was not enjoyable at all. I think other supermarket custard creams were much nicer, such as Sainsbury's. ‌ Score: 3/10 8. Aldi - 45p for 300g Despite looking appealing, Aldi's biscuit was very similar to Lidl's and tasted super cheap. The filling was pleasant, but again, the other supermarkets tasted much nicer. Score: 3/10

12 best doughnuts in Tokyo that you'll like a hole lot

Just across the street from the I'm donut? Shibuya store, this gluten-free outpost operates as a takeaway stand. It serves the brand's signature 'nama' (fresh) doughnuts – now made entirely gluten-free with Japanese rice flour in place of wheat. The dough also incorporates ingredients like pumpkin, which helps create a moist and slightly sweet doughnut. Take your pick from eight different doughnuts, including the signature 'I'm Free' original, which is lightly coated in brown sugar, and the cacao – both of which are vegan-friendly. Additionally there are four cream-based doughnuts filled with a decadent cream or custard made from rice flour. The cream doughnuts come in four flavours: custard, pistachio, chocolate cream and framboise. You'll also find two other varieties: strawberry chocolate and caramel nuts. The former features a cocoa-flavoured doughnut coated in sweet and tangy strawberry chocolate, while the caramel nuts option is topped with caramel chocolate and homemade caramelised nuts for a satisfyingly crunchy finish.

Prosecco expert on why you've been drinking it wrong

According to Aldi's resident wine guru, Mistress of Wine, Sam Caporn, there's one tiny, easy-to-miss word on the label that could make or break your glass. Sam says the most misunderstood term is 'Extra Dry' – which sounds very dry but actually means slightly sweet. The result? Many Prosecco lovers have been reaching for the exact opposite of what they want. 'When it comes to selecting your bottle of Prosecco from the shelf, 'Extra Dry' can sometimes be misleading if you're expecting a very dry wine," she explains. 'While most pricier bottles like Champagne and Crémant are Brut - meaning dry - most Prosecco is 'Extra Dry'. This naturally leads fizz lovers to believe their wine will be very dry. However, what it really means is that the wines are 'off-dry', possessing a subtle hint of sweetness." This subtle sweetness is precisely what makes Prosecco so appealing to many. 'It's one of the many reasons Prosecco is so tasty," says Sam. "The acidity is lower, the wines are gently fruity, think melon and apricot, and have a soft bubble. This sweetness contributes to it being so drinkable, making it a favourite for many occasions.' The crucial takeaway, is that if you prefer your Prosecco on the drier side, you've been doing it wrong by reaching for 'Extra Dry'. 'For those who do prefer their Prosecco dry, simply look for the word 'Brut' on the bottle, rather than 'Extra Dry'," she says. This seemingly small detail makes a significant difference in the glass, offering a crisper, less sweet profile. 'Both 'Extra Dry' and 'Brut' Proseccos offer wonderful experiences; it's all about knowing which one best suits your taste.' While understanding sweetness levels is paramount, she also highlights other key indicators for Prosecco lovers. Shoppers should also be looking out for DOC and DOCG on the label. 'Essentially these are Italian wine quality indicators, with DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) being the standard, and DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) being the step above – the very highest quality.' Finally, for those who prefer a gentler fizz, she notes that 'Spumante' on the label simply means fully sparkling, while 'Frizzante' indicates a softly sparkling wine, with a less vigorous bubble. Recommended reading: Aldi brings back its 'chicken wine' due to popular demand Aldi orange wine is the taste of the summer Aldi school uniform bundles are back, for a fiver or less Aldi has a range of Proseccos for every drinker, she explains: Made from the same Glera grapes as its bubbly counterpart, this wine offers all the fresh, fruity flavour of Prosecco, minus the fizz. Think vibrant orchard fruit aromas and a crisp, refreshing taste – perfect for those seeking a trend-forward alternative to traditional white wine. This medium-bodied Prosecco features grapes that are gently pressed to ensure that only the highest quality juice is used. It's a wine that not only tastes good but does good too, as the winery is committed to using renewable energy wherever possible.

A pink fizz with a blend of berry fruit flavours and hints of white peach and citrus. Another fan favourite at a competitive price point, this Italian tipple is favoured for its light, creamy quality, and delicate floral touches. A refreshing and aesthetically pleasing bottle of bubbles, this Prosecco is the perfect accompaniment for any alfresco occasion.
