Purple ombré, shut the front door.

I don't know if we're getting a bit older or WHAT the craic is but by God... cast-iron cookware makes us incredibly happy! The fact is cast-iron, traditionally anyway, comes at a pretty penny and we're just not about that '€500 for a pot' kind of life. Enter the Aldi special buys to bring a bit of designer style in at a price that won't leave us in tears. Yes, their massively successful cast-iron collection is back and this time there's more colours and options to choose from than before! Mark your calendars because the 'Cast Iron Collection' will be available in Aldi stores nationwide from Thursday, September 10th and considering how well it sold the last time we're pretty sure it's going to go instantly because LOOK HOW PRETTY!   This is the cast-iron mini cookware in purple ombré that retails at at just €10.81, we're obsessed with these tones but the entire range also comes in grey ombré or matte black. Check out the shallow casserole dish below which can withstand heat of up to 250 degrees celsius and comes in at a very do-able €24.58. The griddle pans, which retail at €17.69, are sure to make your guests jealous and honestly it doesn't even matter if you're not that good in the kitchen, these pots will make you want to do better! Ok, we're getting too excited now. All the prices for these durable pots are below but be warned I will be first in line for the entire plum ombre collection.
