What is the best time to shop at Aldi?
IF you’re going to shop at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For discounted items – when stores are open
Products with the red sticker are rare in Aldi’s 830 stores in the UK, but the supermarket says it doesn’t waste food, so there are a few out there if you’re quick.
A spokesperson for the supermarket said: “All items are discounted to 50 per cent of the recommended retail price before opening time and on the best-before date.”
This means that you have the best chance of finding discounted groceries if you visit the store as soon as it opens.
Opening hours vary by store, but most are open from 7am or 8am. You can find the opening hours of your nearest store by visiting the online store locator.
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that the company doesn’t normally sell. These items can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock arrives in stores every Thursday and Sunday, so these are of course the best days to come for the best, unique offers.
For an even greater chance of scoring the best items, visit your local store during opening hours.
But you don’t have to go to the store to get a Specialbuy.
They are also sold online, usually at midnight on Thursdays and Sundays, and you can order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend a minimum of £25, items will be shipped for free.
Remember, once they’re gone, they’re gone. So if there’s something you really want, go see it as early as possible.
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games will begin on July 26 and last until August 11.
The Paralympic Games will then take place from August 28 to September 8.
