Aldi Australia‘s latest surprise buy has welcomed the BBQ season — Hooded 4 Burner BBQ with side burner for $199, Hooded BBQ Cover for $19.99, BBQ 3 piece toolset + apron for $12.99, and 9kg gas cylinder for $34.99.

We actually bought a similar 4 burner BBQ + side burner set earlier this year from Big W for $269, and we still haven’t used it. It is currently boxed and sitting in the guest room. We were hoping to use it after clearing up the garden, but due to some issues with renovation, designer/builder, construction form to the council, etc it is still a mess and we just kept on procrastinating. And now you can buy a similar BBQ for $70 less. We thought we got a good deal, but obviously not.

D’oh.

Anyway, at least we can go and buy that cheap hooded BBQ cover. Even then we are not sure whether we can take ours out from the box and use it this summer. Sales starts from Thursday 26 October.
