An astounded Aldi shopper has discovered the supermarket is selling a Christmas product – in early May.
Andy Bruce, a 30-year-old from Bury, Greater Manchester, couldn’t not believe his eyes when he spotted a pile of Christmas Eve Boxes, reduced from £20 to £8.
He found the bizarre offering in the Crostons Retail Park branch in the town on Friday.
He posted a picture online and asked the retailer: ‘Seriously @AldiUK??’
