If you are like me, then this is the time of year you wait for to get your “cooler month” clothes sorted. ALDI’s legendary Snow Gear Special Buys are returning on Saturday, 17 May, and can you believe it’s the 20th anniversary in Australia! Like we’ve been lining up for this for 20 years?
Why Do People Line Up for Hours for This Day?
A friend of mine planned a skiing holiday in Japan a few years ago, but the trip was still a year away from the clothing drop. Determined to secure their spot, they arrived early and even slept in their car to ensure they’d be first in line. You have to admire that level of dedication.
ALDI’s Snow Gear drop has achieved somewhat of a cult status in Australia. Each year, shoppers flock to the middle aisle to grab their hands on these deals before they melt away. The combination of a surprisingly impressive style, functionality, and unbeatable prices makes this range an absolute must-shop event.

This year’s collection is a premium range with over 65 incredible products under $100, making it easier than ever to keep the whole family warm without emptying your wallet.
