The new $15 item from ALDI that's walked out the store

ALDI has quickly carved out a name for itself amongst Australia for its cheap groceries and famous “Special Buys” promotions.

While ALDI is well known for its budget furniture, luxury beauty products and cookware, as well as the bargain-priced groceries it offers, there is one item in particular that has caught people’s attention in its latest “Special Buys” promotion.

ALDI has brought back its activewear range, and although a grocery store would be the last place many would think of to buy workout gear, many headed there on the weekend to pick up some activewear bargains.

In particular, a $15 pair of leggings sent ALDI lovers into a spin, with one woman stocking up on two pairs during last year’s sale and wearing them while she trained for the New York Marathon.

I cannot stress enough how much I love @aldiaustralia’s fitness tights. I’ve spent many hundreds of dollars over the years on various brand name ‘performance’ running tights, but none has ever come close to fitting as well, lasting as long or being as comfortable as these. They never get saggy or shapeless, the designs are cool, and the high waist is 👌🏻. They’re perfect for #teamthickthighs runners like moi. And the best bit: THEY’RE ONLY FIFTEEN BUCKS! I bought two pairs last year and wore them exclusively throughout my @nycmarathon training and the marathon itself. This year’s fitness gear has just gone on sale at Aldi today and I snapped up these beauties. This isn’t an ad or anything, I just really genuinely love them! If you’re an Aussie runner, do yourself a favour and give these a try! . . . #aldifinds #aldiaustralia #aldi #aldiloversau #runner #running #runninggear #runchat #runningmumsaustralia #runningmum #rundownunder #runningmom #instarunner #sydneyinstarunners #marathoner #marathonmum #nycmarathon #marathonmom #runhappy #runnerscommunity #inkedrunner #womenwhorun #womensrunningcommunity #runlikeagirl #igrunners #womenrunning #hibiscus #thickthighsthinpatience
