Shoppers race to Aldi to get their hands on winter must-have item: 'Run, don't walk!'
The German supermarket giant quietly relaunched knitwear tops and jumpers which have been popular among shoppers in recent years.
Alex Hourigan, who cohosts the Two Broke Chicks podcast, spotted the latest buys at her local Aldi and boasted about the products online.
The knitwear is made from a blend of merino wool and cashmere which retails for no more than $49.99, which is incredibly affordable compared to alternative brands.
'Literally run to Aldi because they've just dropped some wool and cashmere winter basics that are an absolute steal,' Alex said in a TikTok video.
The selection includes Wool Cashmere Blend Tops ($39.99), Wool Cashmere Blend Knitwear ($49.99) and Merino Wool Knit Tops ($29.99).
All products are available in a range of different shades, including black, cream and grey.
Customers were overjoyed with the news of the recent release and shared their excitement in the comments.

'They do them every year. Great staples for winter,' one wrote.
'Love!' another added.
'OMG obsessed,' a third wrote.
Shoppers are encouraged to act swiftly as products are only available while stocks last in stores.
Last month the discount supermarket released a delicious Biscoff mousse as part of a new Autumn range.
The tasty dessert is made with a Biscoff crumb base, middle layer of Biscoff mousse and topped with a thick layer of Biscoff spread.
Melbourne foodie Nectro Vlangos, better known as Nectorious Papi online, described the latest offering as a 'Biscoff overload from bottom to top'.
'It's heaven in a cup,' he said.
Sydney vlogger Samantha Khater also raved about the buy on TikTok and dubbed it 10/10 as it's 'full of flavour'.
On Facebook hundreds praised the buy and recommended it as a 'must', but some claimed it was 'too sweet'.
'So good but very sickly by the end,' one wrote.
'Just like with our Special Buys range, we always look to surprise and delight our customers when we add deliciousness to our Limited Time Only range,' ALDI Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke, said.
'This selection is all about treating your friends, family and yourself with quality meals, tasty treats and desserts without breaking the budget.'
In addition to the Food Envy Mousse with Biscoff Spread, Aldi has also released more than 250 other items this month including Sweet Haven Apple Pie Spring Rolls ($4.99), Toblerone Lava Cakes ($4.99) Ready, Set.. Cook! Beef Stir Fry Meal Kit ($13.99).
In March Aldi brought back its popular cast-iron cookware range that's been compared to high-end French brand Le Creuset.
Aldi's famous Crofton cookware collection will return to the 'Special Buys' middle aisle from March 12, while stock lasts.
The range features a 24cm frypan ($9.99), 40cm frypan ($12.99) mini pots and pans ($4.99), containers ($9.99) and kitchen utensils ($1.99).
The budget retailer caused a frenzy among shoppers when the range sold out previously - and it's likely to happen again.
The affordable products have been likened to the look and quality of Le Creuset, which costs hundreds of dollars.
The $4.99 mini pan looks similar to the $410 Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Saucepan while the $9.99 frypan resembles the $320 Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Frying Pan.
The cookware range will be available in red, green and blue, and the containers and utensils are dishwasher safe.

Popular Aussie fitness influencer makes shock drug admission on social media: 'Just did it to fit in'
An Australian fitness influencer has confessed to trying 'party drugs'. Ashy Bines, who rose to fame after launching her 12-week online bikini body challenge, replied to a fan's question on her Instagram story on Tuesday which asked how long she had been sober for. 'I haven't been drunk in well over six or seven years!' she wrote in response. 'I've had a few sips here and there but haven't had a full drink in the longest time.' She then added: 'I did try party drugs in my early 20s and they also were not for me. I just did it to fit in and try it because everyone around me was doing them regularly. Just made me so anxious!' The 36-year-old went on to say she hated the taste of alcohol and would rather spend money on other things that aligned more with her values. 'Also never want my kids growing up seeing me intoxicated or think it's "normal to drink for fun and connection or to turn to it for stress. So I wanted to break the cycle,' the mum-of-two said. The influencer didn't specify which 'party drugs' she had taken in the past. Ashy recently came under fire from fans and followers after posting a 'dangerous' act to her social media. Taking to TikTok in February, the controversial influencer posted a clip of herself hanging out of the window of a moving car. Appearing not to have a seat belt on, Ashy, who was a passenger in the vehicle, stuck her head through the open window before leaning out backwards at shoulder height. The caption on the clip, which has since been deleted, read: 'POV: You don't need to prove anything to yourself or others'. While it is not clear where the video was shot, Ashy is based on Queensland's Gold Coast. Queensland Police confirmed to The Gold Coast Bulletin that 'motorists and passengers hanging out of a moving vehicle is not only dangerous but also illegal'. Taking to TikTok in February, the controversial influencer posted a clip of herself hanging out of the window of a moving car 'Those caught hanging out of a car window or sunroof could face fines exceeding $1200, with additional penalties for drivers who allow this behaviour,' a statement from Queensland Police read. 'Police urge all road users to prioritise safety and report any dangerous driving incidents to authorities,' it continued. Viewers of the deleted clip were not amused by what they saw, with several comments condemning the act. 'Normally I'd just think "idiot" but if she has a million followers, it's really poor form to influence those who are vulnerable to copying such stupidity,' one person said. 'My old babysitter's son died by doing ths; I'll never understand how some people truly think they're invincible,' one more wrote. 'I know of someone who got beheaded doing something similar,' added another.

Australian Survivor set for major shake-up as new host David Genat takes the helm following Jonathan LaPaglia's brutal sacking
Australian Survivor is currently filming in Samoa with new host David Genat at the helm and fans should expect several changes ahead. Channel 10 revealed on Monday the next season will be called Australian Survivor: Redemption and will feature fewer non-elimination episodes and the return of a live finale. Longtime host Jonathan LaPaglia shocked fans in June when he confirmed he had been axed from the series, after almost a decade at the helm. The beloved TV star was met with a wave of support after he revealed he would be fronting the show for the last time in the Australia V The World series currently airing. The 55-year-old later detailed the brutal way he found out he had lost his job. 'The speculation online was that I received an email. But no, it was a call to my manager in Australia,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 'I didn't get a direct call, which, I'll be honest with you, was disappointing,' he continued. 'After 10 years of helming their flagship show, it would have been nice to get a direct call from the people at the top, but I didn't.' Insiders say the show's shocking new theme, 'Revenge and Redemption,' is a thinly veiled swipe at his unexpected exit. 'Jonathan is gutted,' a friend of the ousted host told Daily Mail Australia. 'This theme feels personal. Everyone in the Survivor community can see it for what it is.' It comes after Genat assured viewers the show is 'not about him' and that he would not let them down. 'I love Australian Survivor. It truly is the greatest game on earth, so getting to come back as host after playing three times is such an honour,' he began. 'But Survivor is not about me. It's about the incredible players who put everything on the line to outwit, outplay and outlast.' He also paid tribute to the show's many viewers and promised to live up to their expectations: 'I love the players, the community of fans and the crew who make it happen. As new host, I won't let you down.' Since the announcement, viewers have been reluctant to embrace Genat in his new role. 'This really sucks. Australian Survivor is great and Jonathan was the perfect host. Yet producers fired him and hired this clown,' one fan wrote on social media. 'Jonathan is the face of Australian Survivor. NO ONE wanted him gone and especially to be replaced by David. We will NOT be watching any seasons now, Australian survivor is officially dead,' a second added. 'I'm upset. The only reason I Watch Australian Survivor is because of Jonathan. I watch each episode like 5 times. He is the reason it's better than US Survivor. Who in their right mind would let him go?' a third chipped in. Genat began his Survivor journey on Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders in 2019. He was the 14th castaway voted out, and then returned to the franchise the following season for Australian Survivor All Stars in 2020, which he won.

Revealed: The HUGE change that's coming to Melbourne's spring carnival racing extravaganza
Racegoers will flock to Flemington - not Moonee Valley - for the 2026 Cox Plate after the iconic Australian sporting venue won hosting rights for the time-honoured Group One race. This year's Cox Plate will be the last run on the current Moonee Valley track during Melbourne's spring carnival before the course is closed to be rebuilt. Racing Victoria, in consultation with the Moonee Valley Racing Club, confirmed the development on Wednesday following an Expression of Interest (EOI) process. The 2026 Cox Plate at Flemington will be staged on Saturday, October 24, the week before the start of the Melbourne Cup Carnival. A nine-race card will be run and won, including the Moonee Valley Gold Cup over 2500m, which offers the winner direct entry into the Melbourne Cup. Ultimately, Flemington was determined the best track to maximise attendance and turnover while Moonee Valley is upgraded. This year's Cox Plate will be the last run on the current Moonee Valley track during Melbourne's spring carnival before the facility is rebuilt (pictured, ex-footy WAG Brodie Ryan) Victoria Racing Club chief executive Kylie Rogers said it was an 'honour' for Flemington to snare hosting rights for the 2026 Cox Plate. 'This will be an historic occasion, bringing tens of thousands of Australians together to enjoy the day,' she said. 'We thank Racing Victoria, the Moonee Valley Racing Club and our commercial partners for their collaboration and we can't wait to see a Cox Plate at Flemington come to life. 'It sets the scene for an unforgettable spring at Flemington, where the world's best come together.' It comes after Via Sistina won the Cox Plate in emphatic fashion last October, blitzing the quality field by eight lengths. The Irish star was so dominant she smashed Winx's 2017 track record of 2:02.94 by nearly two seconds in the demolition job over 2040 metres. 'It is the stuff of legends,' commentator Bruce McAvaney said post-race on Channel Seven at the time. '(For me) that was Winx-like, you don't get any better. Just remarkable, that is as good as it gets.'
