Every day one family can win a £50 voucher and entering is simple – you’ll need to email your name and address to SummerSupportScheme@aldi.co.uk.
Support for new parents
If you’re welcoming a new baby to your family, you can apply for the Mamia New Parent Fund.
You’ll need to send a receipt of your latest Mamia nappy purchase to mamiaparentfund@aldi.co.uk for a chance to win a £100 voucher.
Look out for ‘Super Six’ fresh produce deals
Every two weeks, Aldi offers six fruit or veg items at extra-low costs and encourages shoppers to stock up and freeze any suitable items they won’t eat straightaway.
If you’re not 100% satisfied with your purchase, Aldi’s fresh guarantee lets you return it with your receipt for a full refund.
Check for red sticker discounts
Bakery, meat, and deli items nearing their best-before dates often receive markdowns at Aldi, with discounts of up to 75%.
