Why we called it
The Ninja Creami sits at £200+ and sells out every summer. On 16 July, Lidl and Aldi both dropped their own version on the same day — the Silvercrest Premium Freezy and the Ambiano Ice Cream Machine, both at £69.99, both direct Creami-style machines at a third of the price. That gap is a flip.
The alert went out with the article numbers for both retailers, so members could run our in-store stock checkers by postcode before leaving the house. Buyers who'd missed Ninja stock paid £105–115+ for the Lidl machine and £115+ for the Aldi one — a clean £35–45 per unit with no order limit, and free in-store returns underwriting the whole play.
The edge
What members knew before everyone else worked it out.
- Two retailers, same day, same price — the alert covered both with article numbers attached.
- Demand borrowed from the Ninja Creami: £200+ and perpetually out of stock in summer.
- £69.99 in, £105–115+ out — roughly 50% ROI per unit, buyable in multiples.
- Free in-store returns at both chains — unsold stock goes back to the shelf, not the loss column.
- Stock checkable store-by-store via the /lidlstock and /aldistock commands before travelling.
How it played out
- 16 Jul
The double-drop is called
Both machines flagged the morning they land in the middle aisle, with article numbers and stock-checker commands in the post.
- Same week
Store-by-store sweep
Middle-aisle stock varies wildly by store — members run the stock commands by postcode and route around empty shelves.
- Ongoing
Quiet restocks
Small top-ups keep landing after the initial drop. The summer-seasonal radar stays on: pools, pizza ovens, garden gear.
The takeaway
Not a headline flip — just a reliable one. Two machines, £70 in, £105–115 out, free returns if it doesn't move. The middle aisle keeps paying members who know what's landing in it before the crowd does.
