I got a first look at Aldi’s Autumn deals throughout October and it’s a big month of offers with Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas approaching. There’s plenty of party must-haves but also the first date when advent calendars will go on sale along with themed specials for the home.

Some of the big items to make savings on include a range of air fryers from £39.99. While parents will be anxious to get in line for toy deals this month.
