One shopper wrote: 'Novelty Lights £4.99 In-Store At Aldi,' prompting a flood of responses.
'I will have to run there tomorrow,' said one eager fan.
Another replied: 'Why have I not been yet,' while many others tagged friends to spread the word.
Another post in the same group revealed a second hot find: 'Hot Air Balloon Solar Lights £7.99 From Aldi.'
Fans once again flocked to the comments, tagging their friends and praising the budget-friendly garden must-haves.
The deals have been spotted in Aldi stores nationwide, with shoppers in cities like Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham reporting successful finds.
Both sets of lights are solar-powered, meaning there's no need for wires or electricity – just pop them in the ground and let the sun do the rest.
The hot air balloon lights are proving especially popular thanks to their unique design and warm flame-effect glow, which adds a magical touch to gardens after dark.
Many shoppers are stocking up ahead of summer BBQs, parties and evening get-togethers, using the lights to create a cosy, welcoming atmosphere in their outdoor spaces.
And with similar lights from other retailers often costing double or more, Aldi's versions are a clear hit with those wanting to spruce up their gardens on a budget.

Shoppers are being urged to act fast, as items like these are often part of Aldi's Specialbuys and once they're gone, they're gone.
This latest garden bargain follows a wave of excitement at other budget retailers, including Home Bargains, which recently released a fresh range of solar lights starting at £5.99.
Meanwhile, stores like B&M, Argos, Wilko and Dunelm have also rolled out major discounts on garden furniture, patio sets and summer décor.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

Aldi advises customers to store eggs in the freezer
The unusual hack from the supermarket giant promises to make your eggs stay fresher and last longer. Aldi has shared a storage hack with customers that guarantees to keep their eggs fresher for longer. The budget supermarket advised shoppers who want to give their eggs a longer lifespan to pop them in the freezer. The tip may sound strange, but food waste experts believe storing eggs in minus temperatures stops them going off as quick as they would if they were kept in a fridge or at room temperature. Kate Hall, food storage expert, partnered with Aldi to share key food storing tips for shoppers in the hope of reducing food waste. Kate says to make your eggs last, shoppers should break them from the shell, then freeze them either as whites, yolks, or both mixed together. They should then mix with a sprinkle or sugar or salt before pouring it into a freezer bag and placing it in your freezer, reports the Express. kate explains: 'Using your freezer is such a simple way to press pause on your food so it doesn't end up in the bin. 'Freezing food can help our budgets stretch further, and you can actually freeze a lot more than people realise. The trick is knowing the best way to freeze food and what to do with it after freezing. 'No one wants to experience the stench of an egg past its best, so to make sure none of yours go to waste, keep them in the original box in the fridge or a cool pantry. It's important that they stay at a consistent temperature rather than in the everchanging temperatures of a home kitchen. 'And in case you're wondering, YES, you CAN freeze eggs! 'Make sure you always freeze them on or before the best before date - the fresher the better. You'll need to break them out of the shells first, but eggs can be frozen as whites, yolks (with a pinch of salt or sugar), or combined. If you're freezing the whole egg, always whisk it first as it will be far harder to mix together after defrosting. 'I like to freeze mine in usable quantities (for example two for an omelette and three for a cake), flat in a labelled freezer bag. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'This means I can defrost them quickly in a dish of cold water and crack on with making my dish! You can use them for whatever you fancy (as long as they're cooked through), they're just perfect once they're cooked!' Luke Emery, National Sustainability Director at Aldi UK, said: 'At Aldi, we're committed to reducing food waste wherever we can across our supply chain, whether that be working with suppliers to cut down on waste, or marking down prices of items nearing their sell by date. 'Now we're on a mission to help shoppers minimise their food waste too, while getting even more value from their Aldi groceries at the same time. It seems simple, but the research shows that freezing items still isn't something many do – so we want to showcase just how easy that can be.'
