Aldi confirms when back to school uniform bundles will be back for £5
Parents can beat the back to school rush with Aldi's uniform bundle that will be back earlier than ever.
With about a month left until the summer holidays, kids across Scotland will be getting excited for some well deserved time off. For them, they don't need to think about school again for about six weeks.
Unfortunately, the parents aren't so lucky, as many of them will know that this time of year is always quite busy, especially since they'll be the ones needing to get in all the essentials ahead of a new term.
Those who are looking to beat the back to school rush are in luck, as Aldi has just announced when its popular school uniform bundle will be arriving back in stores - and prices have been frozen at £5 for a fourth year running.
The budget supermarket chain often comes to the rescue of many families' bank balances when they need to get the kids ready to go back to school, whether that be after the Christmas or summer break.
The affordable bundle, which is often hugely popular with parents every year, will officially make its return to the Specialbuys aisle from Sunday, June 29, the earliest it has ever been available.
Not only does this give families the opportunity to stock up on uniform essentials well ahead of time, but the range offers a 12-month guarantee, so parents can be rest assured that their money is going towards something that will last.
To help kit kids out on a budget, the range includes a sweatshirt or a cardigan for £1.50, while a two pack of polo shirts are priced at £1.75. There's also trousers, skirts and cargo shorts that cost £1.75.
That means, if parents were to bag one item of each, they will be spending just a fiver on a full school uniform, so they don't need to worry about breaking the bank at an already expensive time of year.
All the items in the uniform bundle have been crafted from recycled polyester materials, with an assortment of colours and sizes available for children aged between four to 12 years old.

However, while Aldi's school uniform range is back earlier than ever, allowing parents to beat the back to school rush, it can be popular. And, with Specialbuys, once they are gone, they are gone.
So to avoid missing out, it's worth marking Sunday, June 29 on the calendar, as that is when the bundles will be back in stores nationwide.
While Aldi has certainly gotten on the ball early with the upcoming arrival of its school uniform range, it is worth noting that many other supermarkets and high street retailers offer them closer to the time, so it's worth keeping an eye out for any future deals.
Rival Lidl has also been known to launch its very own bundle for going back to school. While the German chain has not announced details for this year, it was available last year, also for £5, during July, making it another to keep an eye on over the coming weeks.
Aldi's school uniform bundle is not the only upcoming Specialbuy that has shoppers excited, as the German chain has recently announced the launch of its new Premium Home Fragrance collection that costs under £4.
Boasting an assortment of room sprays, reed diffusers and glass jar candles, the luxurious collection features three "timeless" scents that will uplift any home for spring and summer - bergamot & vanilla, lemon & neroli and mine & white tea.

Tesco to shed light on sales as ‘awful April' bill hikes squeeze budgets
Tesco shareholders will be watching closely for signs that it is managing to fend off competition as the supermarket price war heats up and 'awful April' bill hikes eat into household income. The UK's biggest supermarket chain will unveil its financial results for the first three months of its financial year on Thursday. Tesco recently signalled that a price war was mounting within the sector, saying that it expects to make as much as £400 million less in profit in the year ahead as a result of what it called 'a very competitive market'. Asda has promised its biggest price cuts in 25 years under returning boss Allan Leighton, in a bid to revive the languishing chain. The rapid growth of discounters Aldi and Lidl in the UK has also driven more competition as supermarkets move to match some of their prices to low-cost alternatives. Tesco is expecting to generate a group adjusted operating profit of between £2.7 billion and £3 billion for the year to February 2026, down from the £3.1 billion made over the latest year. A group of analysts for AJ Bell said that, despite fears of a supermarket price war, Tesco's share price was close to a 12-year high. 'Asda's reboot under new chair Allan Leighton prompted such concerns but, for now, the competition seems relatively limited in scope, with a focus on Clubcard and loyalty scheme customers and loss-leaders that drive footfall,' they said. 'Mr Leighton claims he can see the green shoots of recovery at Asda, but the latest Kantar survey of market share in the UK grocery market suggests that Tesco, Aldi and Lidl continue to have both Asda and Morrisons for breakfast.' Asda is the UK's third-largest UK supermarket, behind Sainsbury's, but remains close to being overtaken by Aldi which has seen its share of the market grow steadily. Meanwhile, investors will be looking for an update from Tesco on how consumers are faring following the onset of higher bills during what has been dubbed as 'awful April'. Household bills including for electricity, water, phone deals, and council tax rose for many from the beginning of the month. Financial markets analyst Michael Hewson said trading updates from the UK's biggest retailers can give a strong indication of consumer trends and any signs of weakness in the UK economy. He said Tesco's Booker division – the food wholesaler – was the 'main drag' on its latest annual sales figures, 'largely due to weakness in its tobacco business, as well as the fast-food market serviced by its Best Food logistics brand'. 'This business supplies the likes of Burger King, Pret a Manger, Pizza Express, Zizzi, Nando's and Pizza Hut, and saw a like-for-like sales decline of 5.1% to £1.44 billion,' he said.

Aldi's luxury men's fragrance for Father's Day is £137 cheaper than Burberry classic
Treat dad to a trio of luxury fragrances that cost just £6.99 a bottle. We're getting closer to Father's Day and some of us might be struggling for gift inspiration. Let's face it, dad's can often be difficult to buy for. A sure fire gift for any guy, no matter his age, is a luxury fragrance that he can use on special occasions. While they can often be pricey, Aldi has come to the rescue with its latest Specialbuys. Ahead of Sunday, June 15, the budget supermarket chain has said that its trio of men's fragrances are "back by popular demand". Although, as is the case with all middle aisle icons, they won't be around for long. Retailing at just £6.99 for each 100ml bottle, these fragrances for him offer a more budget-friendly take on designer brands, saving up to £130 compared to Burberry, Givenchy and Hugo Boss. The biggest saving can be found on the Lacura Iconic Man Eau de Parfum that has been described as offering a "bold and refined essence", with notes of pine, olibanum, benzoin, incense and a ground base note of cedar for depth and sophistication. This luxurious budget-friendly scent is said to be similar to Burberry's Hero Parfum, which comes in at a staggering £144 for the same 100ml bottle size, making Aldi's a whopping £137 cheaper. If dad prefers something with a herby touch, then there's the Lacura Ambition Eau de Parfum that "redefines modern masculinity", offering notes of cardamom, sage and French Narcissus that has been mixed with Madagascan vetiver, warm vanilla, and earthy cedar. As another 'dupe', Ambition has been compared to Givenchy's Gentleman Society, a deep, woody scent that would set shoppers back £107 for 100mls, making it over £100 more expensive than Aldi's version. Last, but certainly not least, the trio is finished up with "refreshing" and "invigorating" Lacura Island Oasis Eau de Parfum that will transport dad to an island escape thanks to aroma of sea salt, ripe coconut, lemon essence, cashmere wood and sandalwood. It offers another affordable option for bargain hunters, as it is said to provide a similar scent to the Hugo Boss Bottled Pacific For Him that comes in at £40 for 100ml, a £33 difference from Aldi's bottle. Aldi's trio of luxury fragrances for men is not the only gift that shoppers can buy for dad ahead of Father's Day, as the German discounter also recently brought back its viral Beer Dispenser for just £24.99. Suitable to use with beer can sizes 330ml, 350ml, 440ml and 500ml, it can be easily worked by using two AA batteries, while a three-year guarantee ensures shoppers are covered for any damages.
