July 17th 2024.
After much anticipation and speculation, the results are finally in. According to a recent poll by YouGov, the people have spoken and it's official - Aldi is the nation's favourite supermarket. This comes as no surprise, as the German chain has held the title since July 2023, beating out other popular supermarkets like Asda and Lidl.
But let's not forget that Aldi has faced some tough competition in the past. The Good Housekeeping Institute recently announced their Food Awards for 2024, and while M&S may be a bit pricier compared to Aldi, it was named the best supermarket in terms of value and quality. Shoppers have raved about M&S's premium store cupboard essentials, innovative new launches, and delicious products. However, it seems that Brits have developed a taste for an inexpensive weekly shop, choosing Aldi above all else.
And it's no wonder why. Aldi has been named the UK's cheapest supermarket by Which? for three years in a row. In fact, the popular chain was a whopping £32.60 cheaper than the most expensive supermarket, Waitrose, for an equivalent list of shopping items. That's a significant amount of savings for any shopper.
But it's not just the low prices that make Aldi a favourite among Brits. The supermarket's Specialbuys have become a firm favourite, with sections for plants and flowers, back to school necessities, and kitchen supplies. And let's not forget the beloved air fryer offering. In fact, this concept has become so popular that a new supermarket chain, Morrisons When It's Gone It's Gone, has launched a range to rival Aldi's Specialbuys and the Middle of Lidl. Shoppers can expect to find an extensive range of discounted items, including cookware, toys, homeware, and more.
But the savings and bargains don't stop there. Aldi also offers Super Six items every fortnight at super low prices. By planning your meals around these fruits and veggies, you're sure to save even more pennies. This week, Aldi is offering grapefruits for just 29p, spring onions for 39p, tomatoes for 69p, and cherries for 99p. Plus, there are discounted Easy Peelers and radishes too. It's no wonder that shoppers rave about the delicious food and great bargains on the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook page.
And it's not just about saving money. Aldi is also making efforts to be environmentally friendly. The brand has made changes to its packaging, replacing plastic and cardboard with 100% cardboard for its Dentitex Soft and Whitening toothbrushes. It has also started trialing double-sized toilet rolls to reduce plastic waste and the number of delivery trucks needed. And let's not forget that Aldi has gotten rid of all single-use cutlery in its Food to Go range and switched to vacuum-packed mince meat and colorless milk caps to further reduce its environmental impact.
In fact, Aldi has even introduced a packaging-free model for certain products, with refill stations now available in select stores following a successful trial in Solihull. By offering both savings and sustainability, it's no surprise that Aldi is the nation's favourite supermarket.
But it's not just about the products and prices. Aldi has also become a go-to for special occasions, with its Valentine's Meal Deal receiving rave reviews. For just £3.38 per person without wine or £5.43 with a bottle, shoppers can enjoy a solid meal that won't break the bank. And with M&S being named the best supermarket by Good Housekeeping, it's clear that Aldi is the people's favourite.
So whether you're looking to save money, reduce waste, or enjoy a delicious meal, Aldi has got you covered. It's no wonder that it's the nation's favourite supermarket, and we can see why.
