A WOMAN has raved about Lidl’s fun pool floats for making paddling pools even more fun.
The bargain hunter said she had popped into the supermarket and walked away with three of their £8.99 “floaties.”
She told fellow shoppers how impressed she was at their size, and said: “Wasn’t expecting them to be as big as they are.”
The Lidl pool floats also come in a range of fun designs.
Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared: “They have all shapes, we got the strawberry, avocado and ice lolly shape.”
She also uploaded a photo of the inflatable strawberry float, and then showed it in action all blown up in her paddling pool, which she had bought on Very.
The bargain find looked perfect for keeping kids entertained over the summer holidays.
It could also be used if you love sun bathing with a book or cool frozen drink.
Her post has racked up numerous likes, and many people said they had either rushed to stock up on the floats or were desperate to get them.
One person said they had bought one for their recent holiday to save cash when they were out there.
They wrote: “Took one off them to lanzorate with us, save paying prices out there lol.”
A second added: “worth a visit to Lidl.”
And a third commented: “We had them last year they were great.”
Another person said their Lidl floats were still in perfect condition over a decade later.
They said: “Had these 10 years they are still going strong from lidl.
“We got them from uk to take to spain as they are so expensive abroad they were that strong.
“We brought these ones back normally they burst or don’t bother bringing stuff like this home but glad we did been such a good buy.”
POOL SAFETY
Swimming instructor Nikki Scarnati previously went viral after begging parents not to buy their kids blue swimming costumes.
She said the colour made it almost impossible to see youngsters playing in the water.
The parent also urged mums and dads not to wrap their kids up tightly in a towel after going for a dip as it restricts their limbs.
If they were then to fall into a pool, there is a high chance they could drown, she added.
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.
