When is the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when stores open
Items with red stickers are rare across Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says none of its food goes to waste, so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesperson for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommended retail price before stores open at their best time or best before date.”
This means you’ll have a better chance of finding reduced-price foods if you go to stores as soon as they open.
Opening hours vary depending on the store, but most open from 7am or 8am. You can find the hours of your nearest store using the supermarket online store finder tool.
For special purchases – Thursdays and Sundays
Special Buys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock arrives in stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally these are the best days to visit for the best one-off specials.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head to your local store during opening hours.
However, you don’t need to go to stores to buy a Specialbuy.
They are also on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, items will be delivered free of charge.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit asap
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “Lovely. I got the Peacock and the Flamingo.”
At the same time, an experienced buyer expressed: “I’ve been after one for a long time.”
Not only that, but one gardening lover shared: “Great for the price. Garden centers would charge a fortune.
Why Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped at Aldi or Lidl, you’ve probably experienced their lightning-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s fast reputation isn’t a mistake; in fact, the supermarket claims its tills are 40% faster than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget store claims, helps keep costs down for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging mean staff can scan items as quickly as possible, with most products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging, which keeps costs low when replenishing inventory.
