BUDGET Mums are rushing to Aldi for a new mid-aisle bargain that’s perfect for school lunches.
The German supermarket, loved by Brits for its cheap prices, has dropped the item as part of its Specialbuys mid-aisle.

Aldi Specialbuys are limited-time offers and special promotions launched twice a week, usually on Thursdays and Sundays.
Products include a range of items not part of Aldi’s regular stock, recently including garden furniture and a new Pilates range.
Special buys typically range from housewares, kitchenware, and gardening products to clothing, toys, and seasonal items.
As they are limited edition, once they are sold out they are truly gone.
And budgeting mums have warned that Aldi’s newest mid-aisle launch won’t be around for long.
It launched a foldable lunch box perfect for school lunches or to take to work.
The Crofton Collapsible Meal Prep Container comes in two sizes for £2.99 each.
There is a square box with four compartments or a rectangular box with three compartments.
You can choose each design in one of three colors: blue, purple and coral.
“Prep your meals like a pro with this collapsible meal prep container,” said Aldi bosses.
“Foldable silicone design for space-saving storage when not in use, making it ideal for outings, work or travel.”
They added that the compartments are “perfectly portioned” and the “folding design is space-saving.”
The budget supermarket’s social media team took to Instagram to alert shoppers about the deal.
Money-savvy moms were quick to dub the lunch boxes “incredible value.”
“I saw this yesterday but I wasn’t sure if they would close when there was food in there,” joked another.
The team responded humorously: “It depends on how much you invest.”
“This could be useful,” added Louise Demaine.
When is 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 stores open
Items with red stickers are rare across Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says none of its food goes to waste, so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesperson for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommended retail price before stores open at their best time or best before date.”
This means you’ll have a better chance of finding reduced-price foods if you go to stores as soon as they open.
Opening hours vary depending on the store, but most open from 7am or 8am. You can find the hours of your nearest store using the supermarket online store finder tool.
For special purchases – Thursdays and Sundays
Special Buys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock arrives in stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally these are the best days to visit for the best one-off specials.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head to your local store during opening hours.
However, you don’t need to go to stores to buy a Specialbuy.
They are also on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, items will be delivered free of charge.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit asap
