Aldi announces huge change to popular Special Buys sale
Aldi is making a huge change to its popular Special Buys sale — it's finally moving online.
Before you get too overexcited, the German retailer is simply dipping its toe into the e-commerce world for now, with just two products available to add to cart.
Aldi's online shopping 'trial'
First up is a Latex Mattress in a Box - Queen Size for $499 which will be on sale at the new site, shop.aldi.com.au, at 8.30am on Wednesday, May 26.
At 8.30am on Saturday, May 29, a French Door Fridge ($879) will also be available for purchase online.
The mattress features latex and memory foam layers for support and comfort and a removable and washable cover to keep it fresher for longer.
At 545 litres, the French door refrigerator boasts plenty of room as well as a dual cycle and cooling system and electronic controls.
Both the mattress and fridge are being released in line with Aldi's traditional in-store Special Buys range.
