The cleaning pro, who regularly features on shows like This Morning, recently took to social media to show off her favourite finds from the budget-friendly supermarket.
In the viral video, Lynsey went through some of the best special buys she loves - and the prices are great if you're on a strict budget.
First up, she picked up the Astonish Toilet Fresh in eucalyptus for just 89p, as well as the classic Astonish Multi-Purpose Cleaner Bleach - a must-have product for any home.
Aldi even had Scrub Daddy Damp Dusters available for just £2.99, which are great for getting rid of dust from blinds, mirrors, baseboards and more.
The reusable sponge just needs to rinsed under running water and it's ready to go time and time again.
But one of Lynsey's top products from Aldi was the Almat Premium Fabric Conditioner.
The laundry staple comes in a stunning cherry blossom scent, as well as a sea salt and driftwood scent - perfect for those who love a more traditionally feminine scent and those who like something a little more earthy.
Mr Muscle Stainless Steel & Hob spray was also in the middle aisle, and for just £1.99, and a "huge" 78 wash Ariel for just £11.25.
Lynsey also pointed out the Astonish Fizz & Fresh toilet bowl tablets, "I love these," she said - and for just £1.48 you can't go wrong.
Other bargains include the Minky Sponge Wipes for £1.99, Astonish Multi-Surface cleaner for 89p and huge 1k bags of Soda Crystals for £1.79.
I'm a cleaning whizz, using a 15p household item will make your tap shine in minutes
And if you are on a budget but need to blitz your home clean, Lynsey also shared some top tips for doing it without breaking the bank.
She previously told The Sun:
Own brands just as good
Buying big name brands can feel like the safe option when it comes to cleaning products.
But Lynsey urges people to shop around and try cheaper supermarket own-brand products, which she insists are usually comparable.
She says: 'You can buy an own-brand Multi Purpose Cleaner and the performance is still going to be just as good.
'So when you go down that aisle, make sure that you look for the bargains - usually on the bottom shelf.
'You can buy disinfectant for around 20p, which is just as good as a leading disinfecting brand!'
Natural whitener
For tough stains, or to brighten up white school shirts, Lynsey recommends putting a big scoop of bicarb into your washing machine with your usual laundry detergent.
'I've just cleaned my husband's white trainers using it and they've come up beautifully white,' she adds.
Washing up liquid - not just for dishes
Another of Lynsey's favourite products is good old-fashioned washing up liquid.
She says: 'You can wash your bath with it, wash your shower screen with it, wash your car, floors, the list goes on.
'And, as we all know, you can get a cheap bottle of washing up liquid for 60p.
'It's so versatile. It's one product that will clean almost every surface in my house.'

I'm a skint dad, the barcode secret means your groceries will always be fresh and will last way longer
SUPERMARKETS across the UK are changing the way we shop for fresh produce by removing "best before" dates from fruit and vegetables. This initiative aims to reduce food waste and encourage shoppers to use their own judgement when deciding if their produce is still fresh. 3 3 The move is designed to help families save money and lessen environmental impact, making it a positive step for both shoppers and the planet. However, not everyone feels confident about this change, with some shoppers expressing concerns about not knowing when their fruit and vegetables are most likely to expire. For those unsure, a TikTok user known as ' skintdad ' has shared a clever hack to decode the hidden freshness codes on produce packaging. In a video shared with their 3,871 followers, they explained how to identify which items will stay fresher for longer. The caption read: 'Use this simple hack to decode the best before dates on fruit and vegetables to make sure you get the freshest produce.' The account revealed that instead of traditional "best before" dates, supermarkets in the UK now use a coded system on packaging. These codes rely on letters that correspond to months of the year. They explained: 'So A was January, B February, C March, D April and so on. "So you know that if you see something that says D27 that stands for April 27th. "You can use this to work out whether something is fresh or if you want to potentially leave it on the shelf and get something else.' My budget's so strict I pray at the till on my food shop - this week I did it for a family of 4 for £100, here's my haul For those hesitant about the removal of "best before" dates, this simple hack could be a game-changer when it comes to picking the freshest produce. The video, originally shared last year, has since garnered 124.3k views, 1,951 likes, and 161 comments. 3 Many viewers appreciated the tip, with one commenting: 'Oh great tip. Thanks.' Another asked: 'What month is E11? On onions?' to which they replied: '11th May. But you'll generally find they last a lot longer.' Foods must be stored correctly to keep them fresh and prevent the spread of bacteria. Nutrition expert Birgit Brendel said bread will last longer when stored in the fridge or freezer. However, this can compromise the flavour. Storing in ceramic or pottery containers is an alternative that allows for air to flow easily and slow the growth of mould. Robert Morris, managing director of food safety consultants, Complete Food Safety, revealed the best place to store fresh fruit and vegetables. He said salad foods should be stored in the fridge drawer, but away from anything grown in the soil such as carrots, parsnips and beetroot. Tomatoes are an exception to the rule as fridges can alter the natural ripening process and diminish their taste. He also advised against putting avocados and bananas in the fridge as this will cause them to blacken quicker.

Advertisement Those who saw Yvonne's post were eager to get the garden buys for themselves. One person wrote: "I want one or two." Another commented: 'This would look cute." 8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots. Tricyrtis A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'. Penstemon I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes. Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata' With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade. Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue' A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period. Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem' If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers. Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days. Rosa 'Noisette Carnee' A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November. Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade. "Keep your eyes peeled," penned a third to a friend. Advertisement Meanwhile a fourth said: "I need a couple, mine broke." "They have the pot in stores now,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'We need one." Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.
