It all started when Aldi shared a carousel of it's latest products on Instagram on Friday.
"Picture yourself splurging a little, then realizing...you're actually saving big," Aldi wrote, encouraging customers to swipe through the photos to see the store's latest items.
One of the items - a coffee mug filled with colorful flowers - looked like a great Mother's Day gift option.
The mini flower pot is offered in two colors - pink and blue - and has "super mom" and "best mom ever" printed on the sides.
