In 2017, I went through more batteries than I care to admit. I bought batteries for my headphones, batteries for my TV remotes, batteries for my Xbox controller and for some reason, batteries for a portable radio that I don't even use. I usually go for the expensive stuff but do I have to?

Probably not.

This Saturday, Aldi will be selling Bauhn's 190cm Ultra HD 4K TV for just $1699. That's 75 inches of 4K goodness! Here are the details.

Google are set to drop the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL on October 31. Even though there may be a few issues with those screens, the Pixel 2 looks to be a quality phone with excellent software and a powerful camera. But jumping on the Google-train with Telstra's contract options doesn't come cheap - so is it better to buy the phone outright and get a prepaid plan?

Here’s the cheapest way to grab a Pixel 2.

If you're still in the market for a new TV but you're trying to save as much money as possible, the siren song of ALDI is calling.

Never been a big fan of blended whiskies, but I might have to make an exception for Aldi's eight-year-old Highland Black Special Reserve. The discount spirit, which retails for $35, has picked up yet another award -- Double Gold in this year's Melbourne International Spirits Competition.

A tap bought from Aldi by 12,000 Aussie households can contaminate water with up to fifteen times the safe limit for lead, according to reports. The ACCC has warned of the supermarket chain's "Spiral Spring Mixer Tap", urging customers to avoid avoid drinking or cooking with water from it.

On sale from Saturday 13 May, Aldi has Cocoon's Create 3D printer available for $499. Last time they had one of these sweet babies, there were literally people lining up to buy before the doors opened.

Here's all the details.

Supermarket chain Aldi is releasing a mobile phone plan that gives you unlimited calls and SMS along with 42GB of data that you'll have to ration over a one-year period. The one-year mobile plan will set you back $249. Here are all the details.

Today's 4K TVs come in a wide range of prices; from less than $500 to over ten grand. But how much difference does this make to the picture quality? In a bid to find out, we pitted Aldi's ultra-cheap 65-inch 4K TV against one of the most expensive 4K models on the market. We also asked "normal" people if they could tell the difference. Here are the results.

Budget supermarket Aldi is selling a Medion gaming PC that costs just under $2000. It will be on sale next Wednesday, but is it worth buying? The Medion brand isn't exactly known for high quality and the price seems awfully good when other gaming PCs can cost much more than $2000. Let's look at the specs and find out.

It's been a while since we've featured an Aldi TV on Dealhacker, but this offer is definitely worth a shout-out: for 799 dollarydoos, you get an enormous 65-inch Ultra HD TV with inbuilt USB media playback and PVR recording. Here's a look at the specifications.

Aldi's online liquor outlet contains some surprisingly tasty (and award-winning) wines at budget-friendly prices. Unfortunately, the business is shutting down in Australia, effective Thursday (March 24). While this is good news for miserable wine snobs, the rest of us can take advantage of some great clearance deals with prices starting at $3.99.

Father's Day is still a few months away, but there's nothing wrong with picking up a gift now, especially if it's perfect... and a good deal. Aldi is currently selling Glenlivet whiskey gift packs for $49.99 and includes not one, but three bottles of the Speyside distillery's spirits.

Five years ago, I undertook the Mastercheap challenge: trying to eat a healthy (enough) diet with a weekly budget of $25 and an entirely empty pantry. Would that still be possible in 2015 -- and which supermarket would offer the best deal? Let's find out.

If speculation that German discount supermarket, Lidl, is preparing to launch into the Australian market is correct, it will be the biggest shake up in the grocery sector since Aldi's arrival in 2001. With potentially five viable combatants in the mix, the way we shop and how supermarkets and suppliers compete, will fundamentally change.

Data allowances on mobile phone plans and mobile are much more generous than they used to be, but the volume on offer doesn't tell the whole story. Depending on exactly how your mobile provider counts data can make a huge difference to how quickly you burn through it. Planhacker rounds up the current policies for every mobile provider in Australia.

We're constantly bombarded with advertising for supermarket specials, but is any one chain consistently cheaper than the others? A new investigation by consumer advocate CHOICE suggests not -- and highlights again how much more we pay for brand-name goods rather than house brand alternatives.

While Aldi's launch of their new "trial" stores may seem to be an attempt to capture middle income shoppers, it may end in disaster.

ALDI Mobile is notorious for reducing data allowances on its prepaid plans. In a reversal of its usual form, it has just introduced a new XXL prepaid plan which includes 4GB of data.
