Another Aldi cycling event coming up - 26Sep

I'm heading to Aldi in about an hour's time, holding my fingers crossed that the people of Ipswich are in the most part fat knackers who won't be interested in all this lovely cycling gear.

Aldi don't except credit cards
i don't get paid till nxt month

 

[Linford]

I just bought the winter jacket, some winter gloves, and some overshoes from there. Wish I'd seen the voucher

Are the winter jackets okay? Seem like a bargain for £16. And might pick up a lock too.

Aborted trip. Bought the Mirror for the voucher, got in the store near work.

Just 1 merino base in large, and it was way too big, and then found 2 compression bases in medium, but were white (no ta). Went in specifically for bases and socks. Plenty of womens base layers, and plenty of stock in everything else. Looks like everyone is after the merino.

Will try the store near home, but not holding my hopes up.

Also joined the Aldi cycling brigade this morning. Jacket, trousers, shirt and gloves. Aldi by me look pretty untouched at 9.30. Not many jackets but a whole binfull of gloves.

Mission accommplished!!

Managed to get what I went for:

Light set - even if they only see me through this winter.
Merino shirt.
Winter tights.
Compression top.

Seemed plenty of stock albeit it looked like a jumble sale!! The compression tops seemed popular - had to settle for white in my size - not a black one to be seen.

The whole lot for £40 with the voucher off - happy with that.

Got Merino base layer top and bottom and winter cycling shirt
Plenty of Stock (at Feltham)

The winter jackets are very good for the price, imho - I've had one for years and it's really good for cold dry days, wind-proof too. And if it gets rained on it soon dries out. Bought myself a new one this morning, only downside is it's pink.

Just went and got one, cracking quality for price. What sort of temperature is it good for would you say?

There was loads of stock. If I had been paid I would have bought more but got the jacket and a lock.

Tried the winter tights on. Either they're a funny shape or more likely I am. They'll have to go back.

 

[DCLane]

Went for a couple of pairs of socks (bought) and the bike stand.

However, it looked like the bike rests were'nt great so I left it.

Lots of stuff in Aldi Batley though at 10am. And lots of people buying.

Aldi Castle Hill in Ipswich has quite a lot left. I managed to get a size large jacket which feels really good for fifteen quid. I couldn't get any Merino base layers in size large and the Merino 'cycling top' looks hideous, seriously, what is that thing?

I grabbed a normal base layer for a tenner and some bourbon biscuits and cashew nuts.

I also picked up some spoke reflectors but am now wondering if they'll fit on my flat spokes.

Lots of stock on Aldi Dunfermline - but that was at 08:05... Quite a few people even at that time but plenty stock, though the hi-vis tops seemed a bit grubby - glad I went early as people were raking through the bins with gloves going everywhere.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Bin raking's a Townie pastime though.

Ahh Bourbon biscuits. Wonder if they are a good mid cycle snack
