Gadgets from Aldi

Missed out on a DVD Maker ($69) last time Aldi offered it. Had read reviews of the product and thought I'd give it a go. Hopefully it'll work ok. Just experimenting.

So turned up before 9am this time. Already people queuing outside the store waiting for the roller shutters to go up. Once the shutters went up, people rushed to the checkout as that's where the goodies are stored. They took a little while to get the stock out. It seems they order a few large boxes of each item and they usually sell out within the first 20 minutes or so. Don't understand why they don't just buy large quantities of the goodies to sell as I'm sure they'd sell the entire stock within a couple of days anyway.

There were people buying 4 portable jukebox things at a time (ipod like machine) for $299.
