Aldi’s highly anticipated baby and toddler event hits their stores tomorrow (Thursday 15th August) and there are some incredible bargains to be had on their own brand items as well as a number of big name brands.

The event has been previewed online since the weekend with a number of items available online now.

The best deals we have spotted are:

Our girls are waterbabies. They have both swum from a very young age, our youngest hadn’t even finished her routine of jabs before we had her signed up at a local parent and baby class (its a myth that you have to wait – the NHS says so)

Quite early on in our eldest’s swimming journey we were told about the laryngeal reflex (more commonly known as the gag reflex). When this reflex kicks in, a baby will instinctively hold its breath and avoid inhaling water in response to the sensation of feeling water on its face, nose, or throat. They loose this reflex as they near the 6 month stage, so its actually a good thing to start your baby early. In the lessons we’ve attended over the years this reflex has played a big part in teaching our girls to swim underwater. Its a really magical thing to see and something that we would spend the money on over and over. Not only are the lessons fun for the child, but they also promote water safety and are great for bonding. We attend Waterbabies lessons, but there are other courses around the country that offer parent and baby sessions.

I love it when Tu at Sainsbury’s do their discount weeks. They happen a couple of times a year, but the summer one usually falls in the 6 week break. This is great for parents everywhere who are stocking up on school uniforms ready for the new school year. This event runs until Monday 20th August and while stocks last. If the size you want is out of stock online try your local store.

I have gone through the site picking out a few of my favourite items for the whole family…
