ALDI is under the spotlight now it has moved into the big four of Britain’s supermarkets.
Many of its items are already good value but you can save even more by some savvy shopping.
Aldi is under the spotlight now it has moved into the big four of Britain’s supermarkets
Here’s how to cruise the Aldi aisles and be quids in.
WEDNESDAY WINS: Tom Church, of savings website latestdeals.co.uk, says Wednesday is the best day to shop in Aldi, as that’s when reductions are launched.
RED ALERT: Yellow stickers usually mean reduced prices but at Aldi they are red, says Tom on TikTok, so look out for them on bargain food and drink.
Head there just before the store closes, as that’s when staff mark down perishables such as bread, meat and fruit and veg that are heading out of date.
You’ll save 75 per cent on them.
DISCOUNT DUPES: Aldi is known for its dupes, and its Haysmith’s blood orange gin, launched today, is £15.99 — £12.01 cheaper than Malfy, which is £28 at Morrisons.
And Aldi’s 340g black cherry jar candle, £2.99, looks a lot like Yankee Candle’s 411g version but burns £20 less of your cash.
FACE VALUE: Aldi’s skincare and make-up products are regularly released as Specialbuys.
The latest is the new Lacura Vitamin C range. Its Brightening Daily Cleanser, at £3.99 for 125ml, is £21.01 cheaper than Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser, £25 for 150ml.
SNOOZE YOU LOSE: Bargain hunters should visit Aldi on Thursdays, when stores get new stock for the middle aisle, or go to the website on Sundays to pre-order Specialbuys.
But hurry — items like Aldi’s hanging egg chair sold out on day one.
FRUITFUL DEALS: Every two weeks Aldi announces lower prices on six items of fruit and veg.
At the moment 500g of Nature’s Pick white seedless grapes is 99p. The same sized punnet is £2 in Sainsbury’s.
SHOP THE SALE: Click on the “sale” tab at aldi.co.uk for bargains on non-food items.
From £2.99 Retinol face toner to £19.99 toy kitchens, it’s great for treats and gifts for less.
