Aldi has announced a reduction in prices for over 900 products in recent months. The supermarket has invested more than £300 million in price cuts since the beginning of 2025, covering various items such as fresh produce, bread, dairy, and household essentials.

Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, stated, “Rising inflation has made consumers more mindful of their spending habits. We have already allocated over £300 million towards price reductions this year, ensuring that Aldi shoppers continue to receive exceptional value.”

Recognized as the most affordable supermarket by Which? once again, Aldi presented a shopping list of 75 items that averaged £127.92 in August 2025. This was 38p cheaper than Lidl, with its loyalty scheme Lidl Plus, where the same list cost £128.30 on average, encompassing both branded and own-brand products.

Comparatively, Tesco Clubcard members spent an average of £142.36, while non-members paid £145.01 for the same items. Sainsbury’s Nectar cardholders paid an average of £144.75, with non-cardholders spending £149.02.

Aldi also disclosed plans to open approximately one new store per week until the year’s end, including locations like Sefton in Liverpool, Pacific Drive in Eastbourne, Brimington in Chesterfield, and Shoreditch in London. The supermarket has identified priority locations across the UK for new stores, each capable of hosting a 20,000 sq ft store with around 100 parking spaces, ideally situated near main roads for visibility and accessibility.

Furthermore, Aldi is seeking locations to accommodate its Aldi Local store format in Central London zones one and two, requiring a minimum of 5,000 sq ft of trading space and an additional 3,000 sq ft of ancillary space.

In line with previous years, Aldi will close all its stores on Boxing Day, reopening on December 27, 2025, and also remain closed on New Year’s Day, reopening on January 2, 2026. Extended operating hours will be in place leading up to Christmas to facilitate customer shopping.
