Bargain hunters were stunned when they spotted Auto XS Screen Wash for sale.
A savvy shopper was overjoyed at their purchase taking to social media to show others.
Posting on the B&M Bargains Facebook group, one said: “I’d have stuffed as many as I could into my car hope you got loads.”
Another posted: “This is a bargain.”
A third wrote: “Need to stock up.”
If you’re looking to snap up the screen wash, you’ll have to try your local branch as you can’t order Specialbuys online.
You can find your nearest Aldi branch by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.
Of course, whenever buying anything like this, remember to shop around to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
Websites like Price Spy and Trolley let you compare prices on products across retailers and supermarkets.
Meanwhile, the Google Shopping/Product is useful for scanning the internet to see how much a particular item is selling for across different websites.
It comes as shoppers raced to their nearest Aldi store to get their hands on the bargain retailers own branded veggie meals for as little as 99p.
The popular supermarket chain revealed their veggie alternatives to shoppers on a Facebook post.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
And Aldi launched their own-branded gin dupe for just half the price of the original.
Aldi’s middle aisle bargains has caused another stir amongst shoppers after they unveiled a beauty item you can get for £3.99.
And a cherished chocolate bar has been axed by the bargain supermarket, leaving its sweet tooth customers shattered.
Is it illegal to not have any windscreen washer fluid?
It’s a legal offence to drive with no washer fluid, and you might be fined if you get caught without any.
If you’re in an accident caused by restricted vision and you’re caught without washer fluid, sentences might be harsher as it’ll be deemed your fault.
You could be charged with careless driving and receive a fine of £100.
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.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
From a practical perspective, winter driving can often cause dirt and grit to cover the windscreen, which can restrict your visibility if not cleaned.
Topping up your washer fluid is very simple.
Just open your bonnet and fill the container with screen wash.
It can also be a good idea to add a small amount of de-icer to the liquid, which will help you to deal with ice on the windscreen.
