A FRENZY is sweeping through the aisles of Aldi as the retailer’s highly-anticipated Bluey chairs make a triumphant return.
And shoppers are racing to get their hands on them.
But this time, it’s the new “Grannies” designs that are sparking the most excitement, with parents declaring they’re even cuter than the originals.
The buzz began in the popular Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK , where one mum shared a photo of the new chairs-one in orange and one in purple-depicting Bluey and Bingo .
The post quickly gained popularity, racking up over 82 likes and 35 comments within 24 hours.
The post read: “I never managed to get hold of them when they were selling them near Christmas !
“Kinda glad I missed out on the Aldi Bluey chairs the first time round now… The latest Grannies ones are so cute!”
The chairs, priced at £24.99 from Aldi, have once again become an instant sell-out.
And that’s no surprise as the the hit children’s show certainly has gained popularity over the years.
With their soft, plush design, these chairs are the perfect cosy spot for little ones to curl up in their pyjamas and enjoy watching an episode of Bluey.
Many other fans rushed to the comments section to share their delight, while many tagged their friends with excitement.
One wrote: “Never mind the kids … I want them,” while another simply added: “Love this one.”
