I was fed up of annoying flies pestering me in my home… but a £5 buy from Aldi has been a game-changer this summer | The Sun

A SHOPPER has been raving about a special buy from Aldi that's stopped flies from entering her property.

As much as we love summer, the warmer weather has also arrived with another unwelcome guest – swarms of flies.


This is a problem one Facebook user, Kerri Stevens, used to deal with – until she found a bargain deal at Aldi.

According to the delighted shopper, from the UK, she had been keeping the door open to enjoy the sunny temperatures – but the flies saw it as an invitation to take over her home.

Fed up of this, Kerri headed to Aldi where she spotted a magnetic door curtain, which retailed for a fiver.

The must-have item ''lets fresh air in and keeps flying and biting insects out'' and it's 99cm x 210cm in size.

Praising the product, the bargain hunter said in her post: ''I've been leaving my door open with the nice weather we've been having but I'm sick of the flies coming into the house.

''So happy with this cheap curtain from Aldi so thought I'd share!''

The post, uploaded on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, has received almost a thousand likes, with hundreds flocking to comments.

It's not just Kerri raving about the affordable deal – others said it worked like a charm too.
