If you’ve ever been up early on a chilly morning, coffee in hand, eagerly waiting outside your local ALDI for the doors to open, you’re part of a special Australian tradition.
It’s not just about saving money; it’s about the joy of the hunt and the satisfaction of finding quality items at a fraction of the usual price. This year, ALDI is celebrating 20 years of bargain-hunting mayhem by turning up the chill factor with its biggest and most fashion-forward collection yet.
For two decades, ALDI’s annual Snow Gear Special Buys event has been a highlight on the calendar for savvy Australian shoppers.
Since 2004, ALDI’s middle aisle has transformed into a winter wonderland each May, offering Australians the chance to snap up quality snow and winter gear at prices that won’t leave your wallet frostbitten.
The event has become so popular that queues often form before sunrise, with shoppers eager to kit out the whole family for a fraction of the usual cost.
This year’s sale, launching in stores on Saturday, 17 May, promises to be the ‘coolest collection’ yet, with over 65 products under $100.
‘We know our Aussie customers look forward to our annual Snow Gear Special Buys sale, and we’re blown away by the overwhelming response from shoppers every year who line up before the store opens to get their hands on the range,’ an ALDI spokesperson said.
To mark the 20th anniversary, ALDI has introduced a premium range that blends high performance with high fashion.
And don’t worry—fan favourites are back too, including the Adult’s Merino Tank or Women’s Camisole ($19.99), Adult’s Ski Twosies ($19.99), and the ever-popular Adult’s Premium Ski Jacket ($99.99).
One of the reasons ALDI’s Snow Gear Special Buys have become so beloved is the unbeatable value. Adults can kit themselves from head to toe for just $263.89, while kids’ complete outfits start at $182.90.
ALDI worked with global partners who are experts in snow gear innovation.
‘This year’s range showcases high-performing fabrics, smart design features that are built to weather every moment, and were rigorously tested on the snowfields of Japan.’
