ALDI Ireland fans are set to love new matching kitchen staples in the middle aisle – with prices from €14.99.
The bargain supermarket has matching Textured Kettle & Toasters in stores this week.
Aldi Ireland is set to sell kettle and toaster sets for a bargain price this Thursday.
It reads on their website: “Add some style and functionality to your kitchen with these Textured Kettle & Toaster essentials.”
The bargain buy has a capacity of 1.7 litres, making it perfect for the whole family.
The toaster also comes with three features: reheat, defrost and a stop button.
And a detachable crumb tray is included in the price.
What’s more, the matching set comes in three different colours – blue, white or yellow.
The bargain buy is set to sell out fast, so shoppers must be quick.
The supermarket also has other kitchen staples for a bargain price.
The Ambiano Air Fryer With Windows is priced at €49.99 and is set to hit the stores nationwide from Thursday, February 6.
And it is €80 cheaper than the equivalent.
The air fryer has excellent benefits, such as creating healthy, low-fat alternatives to deep-fried food without losing flavour.
It cooks food like a traditional convection oven in a small machine with a window, allowing you to view the food while cooking and preventing heat loss when you open it.
The digital touch screen lets you control the air fryer based on its temperature, timer and cooking presets.
It features 12 cooking functions: cooking, frying, toasting, roasting, reheating, deep frying, baking, grilling, rotisserie chicken, dehydrating, defrosting and blast cooking.
It includes an extensive range of accessories, including two baking grid trays, an oil tray, a chicken rotisserie and a round rotating basket.
The air fryer’s capacity is 4.8 litres with a standard appliance interior.
It serves approximately 4-5 people, perfect for a large family.
For those who worry about the machine overheating, do not fret as it comes with overheating protection, meaning it is very unlikely for it to overheat.
The air fryer features a sleek design that can fit seamlessly into any kitchen decor – and it can be put away in the cupboard.
It also comes with a three-year guarantee.
Aldi Ireland’s air fryer is a cheaper alternative to the Ninja Deluxe Air Fryer MAX PRO, priced at €129.99 – making it €80 cheaper.
However, the cheaper alternative has a smaller capacity; the original offers 6.2 litres, which can fit up to four chicken breasts.
The German discount supermarket chain came to Ireland in 1999.
Aldi’s first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork.
By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices.
As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi’s popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious.
The supermarket giant continued it’s expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores.
By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country.
The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers.
In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.
The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products.
Aldi chiefs said: “At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand.
“To date, we’ve invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers.
“As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.”
Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.

Досвідчені городники знають, що слабка витягнута розсада на підвіконні не принесе рясного плоду, а лише розчарування, тому шукають робочі способи зробити її осадкуватою. Здається, що сонця вистачає, догляд правильний, але стебла все одно стають тонкими та кволими, наче їм не вистачає сили досидіти до пересаджування у відкритий ґрунт. Однак, як нам вдалося з’ясувати, існує перевірений […]
