Aldi Special Buys brings back popular $99 pre-lit Christmas tree
The discount supermarket is one again selling a cult Christmas item that consistently sells out — so you better get in quick.
It might still be too early to put up the Christmas tree but it hasn’t stopped Aldi from bringing back one of its most popular festive-themed Special Buys.
The discount supermarket chain will again be selling its $99 pre-lit Christmas tree that has consistently sold out in previous years.
At 2.13 metres and with lights already attached it’s a bargain, with mums previously labelling it the “best $100 I’ve spent”.
The tree will hit Aldi stores on November 4 but has already created a buzz on Facebook where shoppers have warned those keen to get their hands on the tree to get in quick.

“I bought one 3 years ago and it is so so good. Better than my $400 one from David Jones that I had previously!” one person wrote in the Aldi Fans Australia Facebook group.
People also praised the tree’s quick set-up saying it took just five minutes as all the branches were already attached.
“I’ve had it for 3 years and love it,” one person wrote. “It’s just a couple of pieces that link together, then you fold down the branches. There are so many branches that it actually looks decent even if you can’t be bothered unfolding / fluffing up the smaller branches.”
Others said Aldi’s tree was perfect for families as you could change the light’s colours from white to multi-coloured or a mixture of both.

‘EYESORE’: TARGET WOODEN CHRISTMAS TREE DIVIDES
Shoppers looking for a tree that’s a little less traditional could head into Target, with the department store selling a unique wooden Christmas tree for $89.
Instead of leafy branches the minimalist tree branches are pieces of wood, with a plain star on top.
In a post in the Target Mums Australia Facebook group many shoppers baulked at the tree’s $89 price tag for “sticks”.
“Worth $25 no more,” one person wrote, while another commented: “80 bucks?? Surely that’s not right.”
Another said the tree reminded them of “collecting sticks as a kid and making these trees” as a child, while one person was more blunt and said the tree was a “bloody eyesore”.
However, not everyone disliked the minimalist tree with shoppers saying the tree’s simple style was “stunning” and would make decorating easier.
“I love this style! I have been quoted $800 for something similar and think $89 is a bargain,” one mum commented.
Aldi’s prelit Christmas tree will be available from November 4, however, there may be delays at some stores. Customers are advised to visit Aldi’s website for up-to-date information.
