SAVVY shoppers are rushing to Aldi to get their hands on bargain home accessories scanning for just pennies.
The set of three textured vases in cream costs a mere 49p and for that you get three different styles.
A shopper on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group posted her find saying simply “49p Aldi!”
Other members immediately reacted. “This is what I was looking for,” cried one woman, who said she hadn’t been able to find them.
“I paid £1.99 last week,” said another.
A third poster simply added “Wow!”
The vase set was originally on sale in Aldi’s middle aisle for £4.99 and available in neutral shades grey and beige, as well as cream, to suit all styles of decor.
According to Aldi they are “perfect for filling with flowers or pampas grass” and tap into the trend for more organic forms in home decoration, emphasised by their textured finish.
We announced their arrival back in June so this is the retailer clearing stock for new lines, but at a tenth of their original price, they’re worth getting your hands on before they disappear for good.
Bear in mind availability will vary between stores – you can find Aldi’s store locator on its website.
B&M has an almost identical three-vase set on its website for £6, or this Bubble Paper Mache version selling for £5 and this Circular Sculpture for £6.
H&M, too, has a similar set in light beige, but these mini stoneware vases will set you back £12.99.
Tesco launched its new homewares range last month and you can find a cute recycled heart vase for just £3 and an apothecary-style bud vase for only £1.50.

For other ways to save at Aldi keep an eye on their regular special buys, check for price reductions in store and on the website, and watch out for red stickers while you’re doing your grocery shop.
Speaking of groceries, Aldi’s Super Six is another great way to save money on your shopping, with six fruit and vegetables on special offer every fortnight.
Signing up to the Aldi newsletter will also bring you special offers from time to time and look out for money-off vouchers in newspapers.
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store’s times by using the supermarket’s online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible

A STRICTLY pro dancer has tipped a very unexpected star to win the show – saying ‘the man can dance.’
Comedian Chris McCausland, 47, appears to be the new favourite to pick up that glitterball trophy, after the odds move in his favour.
Strictly Come Dancing icon Vincent Simone has not only teased a return to the show this season, but also backed Chris for the win.
Speaking to 10bet, he discussed Chris and said: “I absolutely love Chris McCausland and Diane Buswell.
“Chris is so funny, and you can see that he brings that comedic edge to the show. I also love the fact that he looks so chilled, and you can tell that he is clearly having a ball learning the different routines and techniques. The man has got skill.”
Vincent went on: “Dancing is hard enough when you’re doing it with all five senses, so for Chris to put in the performances that we’ve seen from him so far is simply magnificent.
“I was standing up and clapping the TV when I’ve seen him – every time he dances, he gets a standing ovation from me. It’s such a joy to watch him.
“The biggest compliment I could pay him as a dancer is that I wouldn’t know about his disability from watching his performances on the show so far.
“I think the man is just spectacular. He’s so entertaining and he’s so funny – what you see is what you get with him. I hope he can keep it up and get to the final, because I really think he has a good chance of winning the competition.
“He’s my tip to win. The man can dance!”
Meanwhile Toyah Willcox is the strong even-money favourite to exit the show on Sunday evening ahead of Nick Knowles, according to the bookies.
Popular comedian Chris is the beloved BBC show’s first ever blind contestant.
In June, The Sun exclusively reported Chris’ involvement in the latest series – which was confirmed in August.
Speaking to Radio Times, however, the star addressed declining to join the show twice in the past.
Chris revealed: “I was resistant to the idea for a while.
“I said no a few times – to last year’s series and the Christmas special.
“One reason was for self-preservation. I didn’t think I could do it, because I literally couldn’t see what’s expected of me.
“And because I don’t watch it, I don’t have an attachment to the format.”
He added: “But I’d rather do something I had no knowledge of than make a show I knew everything about.
“I’m good at making comedy out of failure, but I’m going to take this seriously.”
Chris has been partnered with Australian pro dancer Dianne Buswell, who’s previously worked with Joe Sugg, Tyler West and Bobby Brazier to name a few.
And the pair’s performances so far have seemed to really impress a large number of the show’s audience.
Taking to X, one fan wrote: “This show never ceases to amaze me.
“I genuinely can’t believe what a sensational performance that was from Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell. Absolutely outstanding.”
Another penned: “Wow Chris McCausland. A very funny man and blind.
“What he has just done on Strictly is nothing short of amazing and well done Dianne.
“Incredible truly. Go Chris.”
While a third commented: “Absolutely blown away with Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell’s routine tonight.
“My favourite of the night. The best of #Strictly yet again.”
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
