When's the best time to shop at Aldi? WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy. For reduced items - when shops open Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick. A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates." That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens. Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool. For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.

The secret Dollar Tree signal that shows your favorite products have had their price hiked
A shopper has revealed the secret way to tell if prices at Dollar Tree have been hiked — look for a small red sticker. Brittanie Pyper, who posts as SimplisticallyLiving on social media, recently noticed that items at her local Dollar Tree were creeping up in price. She then did some snooping around her local store and discovered how shoppers can spot if items have seen a price rise. She spotted red dots on artificial flowers that had jumped to $1.75 from their previous $1.50. The same sticker showed up on storage bins, cleaning supplies, and bathroom essentials, all now priced at $1.50 instead of $1.25. Pyper even found a store cart stacked with red-dot stickers and signs warning that $1.50 toys were about to rise another 25 cents. Her findings come as shoppers reacted with fury to Dollar Tree's broader plans to raise prices. CEO Rick Dreiling has confirmed that the discount chain will lift its price ceiling to $7 at more than 16,000 stores nationwide, a move he says has boosted sales and attracted more affluent customers. Several customers on social media have noticed prices have risen on various beauty products Dollar Tree has long struggled with rising costs, which have forced bosses to raise prices. The chain first raised its iconic $1 baseline to $1.25 in 2022, calling the move necessary to 'materially expand its offerings, introduce new products and sizes, and provide families with more of their daily essentials.' In April this year, it emerged that some locations had begun selling products with starting prices at $1.50. Stores have also been adding $3 and $5 items as part of the Dollar Tree Plus concept. The price rises sparked outrage on social media, with threats of boycotts from longtime fans But the price hikes haven't slowed business. Dollar Tree reported an 11.3 per cent jump in first-quarter sales, crediting the changes with helping it compete more aggressively with Walmart by offering upgraded seasonal and everyday goods. Dollar Tree has also declared war on Walmart by offering high-quality summer essentials. Dollar Tree has faced backlash from customers over its decision to raise prices Meanwhile, Dollar Tree has been reshaping its store portfolio. Its $ 8.5 billion purchase of Family Dollar once looked like a win, but that chain has struggled with declining sales and customer dissatisfaction. Earlier this year, Dollar Tree announced plans to close 600 underperforming Family Dollar stores. Family Dollar's future is now uncertain now that Dollar Tree agreed to sell the chain to private equity firms for roughly $1 billion. The deal was finalized earlier this month, leaving customers to believe that mass closures are unavoidable.

What Do The Red Dot Stickers On Dollar Tree Items Mean?
A great joy of shopping at Dollar Tree is the pricing clarity. It's the whole gimmick: What was once a store full of finds for just $1 is now an emporium with items that (mostly) cost $1.25. Shoppers seemed willing to handle that initial 25% increase, but there is a relatively new change happening at stores across the country that has some people scratching their heads. Dollar Tree fans are noticing small red stickers covering up the $1.25 price tag on certain items and are wondering what it all means for the final cost at the register. The red dot means — sorry to break it to you — that the price of the item has increased. Now, shoppers already know that not every single thing at Dollar Tree actually costs $1.25. Over the last year, prices have gone as high as $7 for some items. Loyal customers are shelling out more and more to create DIYs that make Dollar Tree decor look more expensive or budget-friendly Dollar Tree hacks. The problem with the red stickers, though, is that no one can tell what the marked-up price actually is. Read more: The 12 Dollar Tree Items You Need To Perfectly Organize Your Vanity When In Doubt, Ask About Pricing In the absence of clarity on what new price the red dot indicates, shoppers are confused and some are sharing rumors passed through the grapevine. One theory suggests that a red dot means the price hasn't changed yet, but will soon. Another idea circulating is that the stickers indicate a new price of anywhere from $1.50 to $5. The price of an item with a red dot won't be immediately clear if there isn't an alternate number on the tag. The best course of action, then, is to find an employee and directly ask. If the staffer doesn't know, they'll be able to scan the bar code at the register and share the item's price. It's possible that this pricing shift is a result of tariff-based price increases at Dollar Tree, but shoppers will need to keep an eye out to see if the red dot policy sticks around long-term or is just a passing fad.
