A SHOPPER has found the perfect way to turn your garden into an at-home 'Glastonbury' or outdoor cinema - and it's all thanks to an Aldi item.
The bargain supermarket is currently selling an Inflatable Movie Screen, which looks perfect for watching films outdoors over summer.

It could also be used to screen sporting games with friends and family.
The blow-up device is currently being sold for £59.99 and is easy to install.
A shopper shared how they had popped into their local Aldi for milk and bread rolls and walked away with the fun purchase.
Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, they shared snaps of the movie screen in their garden.
They wrote: 'Don't be fooled by the tiny box this comes in.
'Trust me these are massive if you're blonde like me & old skool the measurements on the box meant nothing.
'So I thought as it;s wet outside I'd put it up indoors to see how big it is.
'You could use this at Glastonbury its that fudging big!
'£59.99 in Aldi today, I only went in for milk & bread rolls.'
Many people were impressed by the purchase and rushed the comments to give their view.
Aldi is selling a home organizing essential for just $29.99 – and it's $46 cheaper than the Home Depot version
One said: 'I need this.'
Another added: 'Should get one for camping.'
And a third commented: ' Im hoping no one buys these and then I can get 1 really cheap in the sale! Me an hubby have a plan!
'Go camping set it up with a zombie film on in the woods, wait for ppl to walk past.'
SCREEN DEAL
To go with this screen, for a limited time, you can snap up the Yoton Mini Projector, originally priced at £56.99, on sale for just £34.39.
Amazon is always a go-to spot for grabbing affordable tech, and this mini projector is no exception.
Right now, it's sitting pretty at number two on Amazon's best-selling projectors list, and it's easy to see why.
The Yoton Mini Projector is currently on sale for just £34.39, down from its usual £56.99 price tag.
While it's already marked down to £42.99, you can knock off even more thanks to a generous 20% coupon.
But don't let the grass grow, this deal disappears after June 19th, so time's ticking if you want to bag it at this price.
With over 1,000 units sold in the past month, it's clear that shoppers are loving this little gadget.
It's hardly surprising, though, with summer here, the long days and warm evenings have everyone looking for ways to make the most of the season.
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

The 1975 at Glastonbury 2025 review: hard to take seriously
The 1975Pyramid Stage The first headliner of the weekend was a strange choice. The 1975 certainly made a big splash about ten years ago, combining rock, pop and everything in between as a reflection of the new genre-free era of music, but more recently they have been working on an album yet to be released and singer Matty Healy has become known for being immortalised by his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift in her song The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Still, they were determined to make an impact, from the blinding lights of the multi screen setup to Healy arriving on stage with a pint of Guinness (a real glass one — where did he get that from? Did he bring it with him?) and a cigarette before leaping about in imagined rock star fashion. It was all very flash, but with their uptight white funk sound, and Healy coming across like a drunken George Michael, it was frankly hard to take seriously. • Glastonbury 2025 live: the 1975, Lewis Capaldi and Lorde kick off festival 'Love me if that's what you wanna do,' sang Healy on Love Me, strutting from one side of the stage to the other, and you did feel that he really would like you to love him. Sometimes that desire reaped dividends. She's American was a nice bit of 80s pop funk, Paris was a sweet love song featuring the line 'I think my boyfriend's a narcissist', and there was a certain charm to Healy and his mix of arrogance and insecurity. But then he had to ruin it all. Looking like he was about to cry, he announced, 'This moment has made me realise … that I probably am the best songwriter of my generation.' There followed a nonsense novelty pop song after which he announced, 'Only joking. I'm an idiot.' It was also hard to equate Healy's dissolute rocker image, complete with ever-present cigarette and tendency to wobble about like he was really out of it, with the word-perfect delivery, the way he knew exactly where the cameras were at all times, and the precise, clean, rather soppy pop coming out of the band. There were some good songs here, especially the state of the world address Love It If We Made It, although showing horrific current affairs scenes to accompany it was gratuitous. But this Glastonbury headline set was unconvincing, like Healy would love nothing more than to be cast in a film about a troubled rock star and this was his audition. It was all an act, in other words: not a bad act, and certainly a high budget one, but ultimately rather empty. ★★☆☆☆

Justin Welby fails to surprise with no hope for Pope
Justin Welby may have said that his ousting as Archbishop of Canterbury was based on a flawed report, but he is courting less controversy by asserting that he is unlikely to become Pope. Asked what his papal name would be, he opted for either Hadrian or Francis, but was keen to stress that a Welby papacy would be unlikely. 'I have had six children, therefore there is some evidence that I've not been entirely celibate,' he said, adding that he was also a 'lousy theologian'. Still, this needn't rule him out as a Pope, if the Borgias were anything to go by. Welby remarked: 'It was a Borgia who said, 'Since God has given us the papacy, we may as well enjoy it'. ' Glastonbury brings together the revolutionaries and the posh, and this year is throwing together particularly strange bedfellows. The other night, the same backstage VIP bar was frequented by the controversial band Kneecap and the uncontroversial Samantha Cameron. It's not like they have nothing in common, though. For instance, as she was a PM's wife, both have benefited from government money. Jeffrey Archer's success is not as impressive as it sounds. The former Tory MP's first novel, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, is still topping bestsellers' lists after racking up 25,000 sales last month, but he points out that this is worldwide and it's not all that impressive when you divide it by 151 countries. 'I got a call from Iceland saying your latest book is number one in the bestsellers' list,' he tells the Rosebud podcast. Archer, right, was filled with pride, until he asked how many copies had taken him to this giddy height. The answer was 83. Much excitement on the left this week about the potential for a new Jeremy Corbyn-led party. Many are saying that polls have shown it would get 10 per cent of the vote, but the pollster Joe Twyman offers a note of caution. 'May I gently suggest that 'would' is doing a lot of heavy lifting here,' he said. 'I say that as the official pollster for Change UK.' It is official — politicians don't talk like humans. A study to be published in Comparative Political Studies has found that politicians' speeches become more interminable as soon as they are elected. The study looked at 1.5 million extracts from speeches by Danish parliamentarians across a quarter of a century from 1997. It found that the speeches became less readable after the speaker was elected but this reverted as soon as their career ended. It's cited by the political scientist Philip Cowley in his latest for The House. 'You campaign in poetry, govern in prose,' he says, 'but even the prose suffers when in office.' With books like his new history of St Petersburg, the author Sinclair McKay has become an adept copy editor, but he learnt the craft the hard way. He used to be a diarist and tells me he got into terrible trouble when he wrote a piece about the political salon host Lady Carla Powell. She was furious about one word. He admits it was probably an error to call her 'fawnlike' in the first place, but what was worse was that he also got the third letter wrong and had to explain to Powell that he hadn't meant to suggest she was half-man, half-goat.

10 cool summer buys under £140
When the sun is shining and the heat is overwhelming, keep things simple with graphic prints and a monochromatic palette. H&M's shirt and shorts co-ord (Nos 2 and 3) is a foolproof way to look pulled together while keeping cool. Layer over a bikini and wear it with some flip-flops for the beach, or team with leather ballet flats and some bold earrings for the city. If even a co-ord feels like too much effort, Mint Velvet (No 1) and Cos (No 5) have nailed the waisted striped dress. Whatever you choose, don't forget to accessorise. Sunglasses, while hiding the after-effects of a sleepless night in the heat, also add acres of polish and style to any outfit. Try something that makes a subtle statement to help lift even the most basic combo. I'm taken with this style from Massimo Dutti (No 6): they will look great on faces with sharp features. 1. £130, 2.
