Dehydrator from Aldi
« on: January 08, 2012, 04:40:35 am »
I was just in Aldi and saw a dehydrator fr only $40, I know OT wouldn't be any where near as good as the more expensive ones people are buying but has anybody seen one in action?

I wish we had an Aldi. I'd be willing to spend $40 to give it a try. Oh well, one day.

Thanks Uni. I'm sort of looking at one here at the moment and doing some very serious thinking.

They weren't in the brochures down here either fundj I was in there looking for something else and saw them so it might be worth just calling in if there is a store near you. We have two stores very close by and I only noticed them in one of the stores so it may be a special item.

Hiya all, my in laws bought one of these and I'm pretty sure it was a week or two before Christmas.  They'd only have them now if they hadn't yet sold. I think their specials are run at the same time nationally aren't they ? So that would be why you're not see them in catalogues now. Gotta be lucky to get one now I'd say !

I haven't thought to ask them since they got it.  I will ask them and let you know.  The good thing with Aldi though is they will probably repeat the special.  In saying that though at the time, I looked on Ebay and they had some that looked similar (probably even same manufacturer).  Here's the link to the Aldi one though FYI.

Fundj, I could post one to you if you would really like but not sure how much the postage would be. I have to go near the Aldi store today so could pick one up.
