I got mine when the store opened at 8:30. There was a small line and plenty of stock. I bought a stand and a tool set. I have set up the stand and it holds my bike firmly and seems to do what I expect. Haven't tried out any of the tools, but this would be my first time purchasing bike specific tools.

Anyone know if the Bike was or bike degreaser is any good? Only $5

I also saw a lot of the people go for the sunglasses this morning.

I went into Aldi's when the doors opened this morning. Wow, what a frenzy.
A couple of guys walked out with a bike each and a stack of other stuff.
A friend with me bought $250 worth, I spent just over a $100.
I figured the returns policy is so good I can take anything back.

me
2xsunnies, 1socks, 1mtb knicks, 1 roadie knicks, 1 helmet, 1 degreaser, 2 gloves.

her
2x sunnies, 2socks, 1 shoes, 1 light, what looked like about 4 pairs knicks and 3 jerseys.

I will report back later tonight re quality. None of the stuff is outstanding, but feels of moderate quality.

Picked up a stand, nicks, Mountain bike Pants, degreaser, toolkit and Bike Wash.

Stand is great, Very sturdy. There's at least 30 stands at the local ALDI when I left the store, Mountain Bikes where snatched up within 10 minutes and most of the nicks where gone within 15 minutes.

Plenty left locally earlier today mate, want me to have a look for you?

Here's a conversion of an aldi bike stand to a workshop type stand, with minimal expense.
