Gives the details, and where the specials are available.

I can't see where it tells you where they're available - is it well
hidden or am I just being stoopid as usual?

Me neither.

That's because all the items are available at all ALDI stores!

Sometimes there is a note that certain items are only available in say
the South East, or Yorkshire, whatever...

Just checked and both and worked OK for me.
Walking stuff is at the bottom of the page.

Remember to arrive at Aldi as soon as they open.
For electronic stuff be first in the queue.
For other stuff arrive early. Quite ordinary stuff can disappear within
the first hour.

Yes but not a clue as to which stores will be stocking it. Is there
some sort of scripting gizmo that I've disabled?

The "where to find us" bit of the site works OK for me, just tested it.

I never disable things, it causes too many problems.

I give in, must be a browser thing, I can find the specials listed and
I can find the stores listed but not mention of which stores stock
which products. I'll just have to take pot luck.

Sure I found that when I first looked, but it doesn't list where the
specials are available.

No it isn't Simon. You're being given [censored] info. There is no list of
where the specials are available as Gordon and Dave are saying. From
that I assume they're in all stores.

Assume everything's supposed to be stocked everywhere unless
it specifies otherwise. Having just checked I'd say it's all
meant to be in your local shop; however there's no telling how
many of each 'special' they'll stock.

You could ring the nearest store.
AFAIK all stores have the same items on the same date.
Some have more than others depending on store size.

Having just checked both sites I've concluded that it's Lidl
that has the regional variations rather than Aldi. Unless
it's both...

He is being given good info! I pointed out that if there is no
mention of items being on a regional distribution, then they are
available at all stores.

It is usually only major items which are regional, and the same goes for
LiDL's website.

Our local ALDI manager is very helpful IME, and when the PCs were due
and I wanted one, the local manager told me:
a) How many they were getting (65)
b) If I gave him the cash in an envelope the previous day, he would make
sure I got one next day by purchasing it for me!

I went there about 10:00 am, and they still had about 24 left.....

It was all in the Northampton store this morning.
Ended up with 3 pairs of socks, 1 pair of boots, 4 outdoor shirts, 3
pairs of shorts, 1 pair of trousers with the silly zip-off legs, 4 base
layer wicking T-shirts, 1 compass and 2 garden chairs.

Quality is very good and the prices unbelievable compared to anywhere
else.

2 merino tops, one 'softshell' fleece, one outdoor shirt (too small).
Sold out of large hats (if they ever had any). Luckily the wa;lking
poles were very heavy or I'd have been forced to buy a pair of those
too.
A shame there isn't a branch of Lidl nearby or I could waste some more
money next week...

What are the merino tops like? Are they tight fitting or loose?

I couldn't get to Aldi today but may have a rummage through the
left-overs tomorrow.

My Mum got me a buff which, for £1.99, is excellent. I've worn it
tonight under my bike helmet and am well chuffed.
