Aldi shopper shares how you can make £855 by shopping wisely

Many people take on side hustles to be able to treat themselves to little luxuries – but those who do not dabble may think that it’s too much effort.

However, one man has proven that it doesn’t have to be difficult to earn cash on the side. He popped into Aldi, made some wise choices, and made a huge amount of money.

@aftermarketarbitrage took to TikTok to explain just how he manages to make £700+ in an hour “from Aldi”, without working there.

He said that he “knew” that he could “make a killing” on label makers that were special buys at the supermarket.

“They cost £15 each, and on Amazon, they sell for… well, I’m gonna tell you at the end”, he shared.

He admitted that he “absolutely rammed the basket full of them”, buying 24 units.

He then went to another store, and managed to bag more labelmakers. He bought “another 28 units”, joking that “the look on people’s faces” were confused when they saw what he was purchasing.

He said that he could’ve gone to more stores, but decided to go home and start making a profit. He said that he boxed and labelled them up “ready to be picked up by UPS in the morning”.

On Amazon, the label maker sells for £37, which means there’s a £16 profit per unit. “And that figure is after Amazon fees”, he added.

“I got 52 in total which is £859 profit”, he boasted, but he had to pay £4 for Amazon FBA shipping - which in the grand scheme of things isn’t bad at all. He made £855 profit “for 70 minutes work”.

Some weren’t happy with his methods, however, with one writing: “It’s only profit when it’s in the bank and you're spending it. Otherwise it’s called “stock” and if Aldi are selling them your 60 units will take a while to sell.” He responded by saying that all the units had “already sold”.

Another asked how long they take to sell, and he said “around 4-5 days”.

A TikToker was dubious though. They said: “If I was doing this and smashing the profit I’d be keeping it quiet not advertising it on social media.”
