Lavenders_Blue Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 For anyone who enjoys hiking or has a dog you might be interested to know that Aldi has some walking gear on their special buys starting today. They've got hiking boots and shoes, insoles, socks, walking poles, packable waterproofs, gaiters, fleeces and so on (won't list everything). They also have some fishing gear on special buy too if anyone fishes... or needs a landing net for chook-catching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ooo, thanks for the heads up L_B, will pop in tonight and have a look as their stuff of that ilk is usually worth having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I don't have to catch my choox. If I leave the back door open for 5 minutes, I have all seven of them in the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I quite fancy a landing net, might be cheaper just to clip Lola's wings though. She did her 'Harriet jump jet' impression the other day (vertical take off and landing) on to the top of the run, 7 feet up Thanks for the info, we go to Aldi on a Friday so may take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pips_pekins Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks L_B. Popped in and bought waterproof for DS and folding walking stick for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I had a good old spend up in Aldi this afternoon. 2 baselayer t-shirts, 2 fleeces (thin ones, which is good for spring/summer and for layering) a soft-shell jacket which feels a bit weird but will be useful for dog walking as lightweight, wind/shower proof and most importantly CHEAP so happy for it to get mucky and trashed! Plus 2 pairs walking socks. Oh yes, and then a load of groceries which I hadn't gone in for but suddenly decided I needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 It's very odd how that happens isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Oooo, baselayers.... I love those and they're great for work when it's really cold. I always do a top-up shop there roughly once a month; their parmesan is lovely and very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 The baselayers are really nice DM, they're lovely and soft. I might pop back and get a couple more. Having got it home and tried it on, I don't like the soft-shell jacket at all, the fit is really odd. I'll see if I can take it back, otherwise I'll have to list it on eBay.
