Budget retailer Aldi is kicking off its week long baby and toddler event from, Thursday January 18, and shoppers can pre-order items now.

It is a great way for parents to buy essentials for little ones without spending a fortune.

Julie Ashfield, Joint Managing Director of Corporate Buying at Aldi, said: “Everyone knows that finances in January can be tight, which is why Aldi is committed to helping parents save as much money as possible.

"The upcoming Baby & Toddler Specialbuy event offers everything from beautifully crafted nursery furniture to everyday essentials, like our award-winning Mamia Baby Wipes.”

All offers are available while stocks last – as with all Specialbuy items – when it’s gone, it’s gone. The event will end on Thursday, January 18.
