The potted sunflower plant is just £2.99 - but you'll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on one.
This comes after one savvy shopper took to the popular Facebook group Aldi Shoppers UK to show off her find.
"I saw loads of people walking into Aldi with one of these in their trolleys.
"They looked so sunny and cheerful I just had to get one," she wrote.
According to the bargain hunter, as she was walking up and down the aisles multiple people came up to her for a chat, all because of the sunflower.
"When I was walking round the shop four or five people came up to me smiling and admiring the plant and had a chat.
"I'm sure Aldi didn't intend for the sunflowers to evoke a social morning but that's how it felt," she said.
But the happy blooms might not be on shelves for long, as the shopper warned fellow Facebook users.
"The manager who served me said they had sold a huge amount and there wouldn't be any left by the end of the day and I'm not surprised," she explained.
It turns out other Aldi shoppers also got their hands on the bright blooms too as one wrote: "I picked one up from Aldi today too!"

"Fingers crossed and there will still some tomorrow morning! I always think they make you feel bright," a second commented on the post.
A third added: "Beautiful and such a bargain, I've bought a plant as well, lots of flower buds on it."
"I got two this morning, gorgeous," someone else chimed in.
And another had a money-saving suggestion for the Aldi shopper, they said: "Make sure you save some seeds and grow your own next year."
HOW TO CARE FOR SUNFLOWERS
Sunflowers bloom from summer until autumn, so you can enjoy their cheery colour for weeks to come.
Although perennial sunflowers will return year on year, annual types will die after they flower and set seed.
You can keep your sunflower in its pot, but if you want to grow them high it's a good idea to move them into the ground.
"Sunflower plants are heavy feeders, so make sure you water the pots regularly (daily in hot weather) and feed fortnightly with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser, switching to a high-potash fertiliser, such as a tomato feed, when the plants begin to bloom," the pros at Gardeners World said.

Welcome to Wilderness! Paddleboard yoga, hot tubs and a long table banquet... it can only be the most achingly middle-class festival of 2025
Don't worry about wellies and toilet queues … but you might want to brush up on your yoga at Britain's most middle class festival. Lucky attendees at this year's Wilderness Festival only needed their best table manners and swimsuits for the four-day event at Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire. Staged near Charlbury, this year's eclectic schedule boasted 'feasting seats and picnics', art classes, a lakeside spa, sauna, wellbeing classes, alongside both paddleboarding and aerial yoga. Meanwhile, a sumptuous so-called 'long- table banquet' was hosted by Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith, 85, featuring a menu including whipped goat's cheese with roasted pickled tomatoes, as well as hot honey and toasted seed and apricot tart tatin with honey and thyme ice cream. While organisers encouraged guests to 'find their wild', the middle-class mood appeared to be rather more tame and sedate – with television presenter Denise Van Outen, 51, and model Daisy Lowe, 36, among this year's attendees. The event, where adult camping tickets reportedly went for around £290, was presented by luxury car brand Audi, and promised a 'weekend of boundless escapism, daring adventures, and pure joy'.

Maura Higgins displays her toned physique in a summer minidress as she gives followers a glimpse of her lavish lifestyle
displays her toned physique in a summer minidress as she shared a glimpse of her lavish lifestyle in an Instagram post on Sunday. The former Love Island star, 34, stunned as she enjoyed a picnic in the sun while wearing an ivory and pink milkmaids dress. In a second image she looked happier than ever after pulling on a pair of thigh-skimming shorts and fedora hat for a bike ride. In another snap, Maura enjoyed a mint ice cream which posed with while wearing a ruffled dress in a similar colour. She also shared a glimpse of herself in more casual attire, including a bright pink T-shirt dress branded with the Love Island logo. The brunette later posed for a fun snap with her pals as they made funny faces for a photo collage. Alongside the snaps, she wrote: 'Previously on……' The post comes after Maura moved into her £1.25million five-bedroom 'dream house' in Essex. The TV personality, who has amassed an estimated £3.2million fortune from her TV appearances, took to Instagram earlier this month to share the news that she had finally moved in. Sharing the news she posted a picture of stunning black French doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle. 'After the busiest few months.... she's finally in,' the former Love Island star captioned the snap. Sharing another snap of the kitchen featuring her pal, celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge, she wrote: 'No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.' As a young woman in rural Ireland, Maura's future was set - stay in the town, marry her teenage boyfriend and open up a hair salon. 'But that's not what I wanted. That was not my dream. That was my father's and boyfriend's dream. I wanted to do more,' Maura previously defiantly declared. Maura also shared a glimpse of her in more casual wear as she wore a bright pink T-shirt dress which was branded with the Love Island logo The brunette beauty also posed for a fun snap with her pals as they made funny faces for a photo collage And leave Ireland she did, going on to star in two ITV reality shows, Love Island and most recently I'm A Celebrity, as well as taking on presenting duties. In her next big move, the girl from remote County Longford purchased her huge house in Essex. Her riches have allowed the presenter to upgrade from her previous one-bedroom property in Essex to one with an en-suite master bedroom with four further rooms. Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption 'Bought my dream house'. An expansive kitchen, with an island, leads out past the dining area, out bi-folding doors to a large walled garden with a neat lawn. Maura's previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.
