Yes, I'll be there, in my opinion, the T shirts are more robust than Icebreaker at more than a third of the price
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
For all fellow Brits who need cheering up: in Aldi from tomorrow

a 1.5m diameter towel . . . . SO tempted to buy one and put it on the wall just to see the look on the faces of my daughters
 
Wow, if @gerardcarey care gets wind of this sale at Aldi, he'll be camping out front all night long and when the door opens he'll be elbowing his way through every aisle, grabbing up all the Camino related gear before you can bat an eye.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Is it possible for someone in the US to take advantage of this sale? Or is it only in stores outside the US?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I believe this post would have been better placed at the Equipment Forum, or the Australian Forum... But that said, thank you SO MUCH for the info! I'm running to Aldi right now!
 
Today I bought 2 pairs of undies and another merino leggings. Total $30

just to clarify - "fellow Brits" means fellow Englishmen, and presumably the sale is in the UK - a long way from Australia!

The opening post of this topic was addressed at "fellow Australians" The comment about Great Britain came later. Anyway, great that more places had specials as well!

Just got a long sleeve for myself and a T-shirt for my husband, awsome prices!
 
My spouse (at my request) bought me the zip up jacket and long sleeve t. Apparently it was a bun fight!

Ganga, Do you know if there is a way to take advantage of this sale if you live in the USA?
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

Aldi in the UK have a similar special buy offering in Autumn with the added advantage that they sell on line as well as in-store. UK delivery only though.
 
@Lightened Up sorry, no. I am sure you have discount stores that sell similar products. The quality at Aldi is variable - I've had terrific merino t shirts that have lasted for years, and a merino motorcycle sweater that was my favourite camino warm layer, but I've also had a few duds that were too loosely woven and went into holes very quickly.

My review of this lot is that the merino is not the finest soft long fibre, and therefore a bit scratchy. But the jacket (which has a bit of polyester added) is exceptionally well finished and I think will be ideal for a top warm layer over something softer against the skin. It will replace the motorcycle sweater which really is on its last legs.
