Aldi bargains! :)

[aliboo70]

I went to Aldi this morning and all the running goods seemed to be in the SALE! !!!!! Got a compression top to try for £4.99 which is super cosy and the reversible hat i bought the other day is now in the sale! Got a reversible running headband for our run club raffle for £1.99 and a pair of socks for paulb67 for £1.49! worth a look! they had nice winter leggings for £6.99 but too small for me

I got a top like that too.. it was too small, so gave it to little Mum! But.. got another at Lidl.. with a built in hood and buff!!! Just in time for the snow Ali!

I shall head down to Aldi tomorrow... if I can get there ... it has just started snowing!!

Thanks you!!

No no no! Why did I read this? 😭 Thank goodness there isn't an Aldi close to me 🙂

The Aldi merino top I bought last year is my favourite winter top. It's brilliant. But really, I don't need any more running gear......I don't need any more running gear........ I don't need ............................

[misswobble Graduate]

I have one of their compression tops. It’s gorgeous., I love my Merino top too!

[Anniemurph Graduate]

Oooh, I bought a Lidl compression top last time for the same price and it was great - super snuggle, so I will go and see if Aldi have any left Thank you!

[TedG Graduate]

This is where I buy a lot of my biking 🏍 baselayers etc. They’ve come in handy since I started C25K 😊

[VictoriaRuns Graduate]

What... is... compression gear? What does it do? Why do we want it?

[aliboo70 in reply to VictoriaRuns]

"Depending on the material used, compression garments can be designed to keep athletes cool or warm depending on the requirements of the sport. ... Other purported benefits of compression sportswear are: Keeping the muscles warm to prevent muscle strain. Wicking sweat away from the body to prevent chafing and rashes"

This one I wore this morning and it kept MW quite cost but rubbed a tiny bit round the neck so will put some anti Chafing stuff on next time!

So the above quite isn't 100% correct!

[JoanneBrowne Graduate]

Oh no! I don’t need any more running gear either so after reading this I obviously took a special out-of-my-way trip to ALDI. Ended up with a pair of winter running leggings, two pairs of normal running leggings and two compression tops... Was delving so deep down in the baskets to find the remaining small sizes that I thought I’d have to be pulled out feet first. At only £4.99 each instead of £9.99, I’m a very happy bunny! 😉

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

OOh! Is that all new in? I was in my local branch a few days ago, they had nothing for running...

[poppypug Graduate]

Oooh thanks for the heads up Ali , will go have a look tomorrow ! xxx
