The temperature has gradually been creeping above 20 degrees and we all know what that means - it's time to raid M&S, Aldi or Sainsbury's for picky bits and dust off the BBQ. Oh and don't forget your SPF, too.
And there's no better way to celebrate summer being well and truly on its way than to upgrade your typical BBQ set up. Yes, we're looking at you if you forgot to deep clean your grills properly last year and were forced to resort to getting one of those disposable ones instead.
But Aldi has come up with an even better idea - the supermarket's viral outdoor pizza oven. With minimal hassle and easy post-dinner clean up, this budget-friendly product will certainly help you convince everyone to visit your house this time.

You may have found yourself swapping doom-scrolling on Instagram for sourcing the best BBQ buys online, eyeing up the likes of Ooni's outdoor pizza ovens.
Ooni's Koda outdoor gas pizza ovens begin at around £220 and go all the way up to bundles worth as much as over £1,000.
Everyone's clicking on...
And hey, they're beautiful cooking appliances and we're sure they're worth the hefty price tags to match.
But given the nature of the British weather and not wanting to splash out too much when it's questionable just how long the sun is making an appearance for, you may want to hedge your bets with the trusty Aldi - it's Gas Pizza Oven which is a fraction of the price, coming in at just £69.99. Oh, and did we mention it's also in one of spring's trendiest colours of sage green too?
Aldi's Gas Pizza Oven is described as being "perfect" at cooking the most "delicious, crispy pizzas".
It says these are "perfect for sharing with family and friends," although, if how we approach share bags of crisps is anything to go by, we all know most of us would more than happily take one just for ourselves.
The oven has a "double wall to retain heat inside cooking chamber" alongside a "built-in thermometer" and its "heat output reaches over 900 degrees".
Now, I'm no pizza expert so that means little to me, but if the pictures of the pizza are anything to go by, you can definitely sign me up.
Not only that but Aldi's pizza oven comes with its own carry bag too - cute.
