I bought a warm reflective work safety jacket from Aldi a few weeks ago -- I've been wearing it while commuting on bike, it's great. Warm, high quality materials, cost about AUD 30.

This week my local Aldi is doing a big sale on snow gear as we approach snow season -- I expect the store will be crazy with people trying to fit out the entire family with new ski jackets, etc.

A few years ago my dad and I got hiking backpacks from Aldi, as well as "hydration packs" and light cycling bags for a grand total of about $50 for the two of us. We promptly took the hiking packs and water bladders with us to the Philmont BSA reservation, and they held up just fine.

We bought some more the next time they were available, and they were even better than the first generation. I love those backpacks.
