There’s a butterfly, bee and ladybird, so you’re sure to find one that suits you and your space.

Aldi's epic reduction

And while you're in your local Aldi, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for the three-tier airer that's recently been reduced.

Thanks to an epic discount, you’ll be able to get your hands on the Addis 3 Tier Concertina Airer for less than £2.

Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts

IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.

Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.

It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.

Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.

It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

The Specialbuy is normally £14.99, but is now scanning at the till for less than £2, saving shoppers £13. 

It allows you to dry your laundry indoors and has easy glide feet for quick manoeuvring.

And it’s clear that many shoppers have been left impressed by the homeware product, which has racked up several five-star reviews online, with shoppers praising it as "strong" and "sturdy".

8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden

Nick Hamilton owner of 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.

According to Aldi bosses: "This Addis 3 Tier Concertina Airer is great for those rainy days when the washing line is out of action. 

“The multiple tiers provide plenty of room for you to place your recently washed clothes.”

Thanks to this bargain buy, that’s been described as “useful and efficient”, you’ll “upgrade your laundry routine” in no time.
