Aldi shoppers divided over new £400 SpecialBuy deal for festival season

Supermarket giant Aldi has divided shoppers with its latest SpecialBuy, which is proving controversial. The supermarket is known for its low prices, but every now and again, it comes out with some higher priced items for those with a bit of cash to spare.

Aldi's latest SpecialBuy costs an eye-watering £400. Just in time for festival season, Aldi is selling a massive bell tent for £399.99.

A product description for the tent reads: "Make your next camping trip the best yet with this stylish Adventuridge 5m Bell Tent. Made with premium 100% cotton canvas, this high-quality tent is super easy to pitch and use. The breathable material means that condensation is kept to a minimum and helps to keep the interior cool on those warmer days.

Aldi was keen to share its new SpecialBuy on Facebook, writing: "Who doesn't need a Bell Tent this Summer?!" The post quickly caught the attention of shoppers, with some people questioning the £400 price tag for what could be considered an impulse buy.

Emily Speedy said: "Presumably this tent comes with a 4 poster bed, butler service and inbuilt wifi for that price." Jill Marie Liversidge laughed: "Just nipped in for milk and a few bits, came home
