New character Russell Sprout, and his Brummy gang of ‘Leafy Blinders’, are boiling with rage about Kevin and his family of carrots stealing the show as the star Christmas vegetable.

This year’s advert begins with the sprouts gathering round Kevin to teach him a lesson. They’ve heard he’s planning on putting on a massive Christmas show and they want to put a stop to it. Luckily Kevin manages to escape the sprouts’ clutches with the help of Tiny Tom and deliver his ‘Christmas Spectacular.’ Katie and the kids make a reappearance, along with a whole cast of new characters.

Sean McGinty, Marketing Director at Aldi UK, said: “We’re all thrilled to see Kevin back on our screens again, getting up to his usual tricks. Kevin’s popularity grows every year and he’s becoming something of a national treasure! Kevin’s magical Big Top is the perfect environment to showcase the amazing quality of the Aldi Christmas range of food and drink this year.”

The nation first fell in love with Kevin in 2016 when he graced TV screens as part of Aldi’s Christmas campaign and there’s been an incredible response to Kevin since.

ALDI BANS HALLOWEEN PRODUCTS DEEMED TOO TERRIFYING FOR CHILDREN FROM MIDDLE AISLE

Aldi launches exclusive online Halloween range too terrifying for in store
Over half of British millennials now spend money on Halloween each year

With Halloween becoming one of the most celebrated days amongst Brits, Aldi is upping the thrill factor with some products so gruesome the supermarket has decided to sell them online only rather than in store.

A motion censored undead corpse and ghastly zombie-like ground breakers that lurk from beneath are amongst the products banished from the shelves, so little ones and those of a nervous disposition aren’t spooked out in store.

Once a holiday favoured by children, Halloween has become increasingly popular amongst all ages with research showing Brits spent half a billion pounds on the ghoulish spectacle in 2018 alone[1] and with Halloween now the third biggest retail event of the year behind Christmas and Easter[2]. 60% of British millennials now participate in the holiday, shelling out on costumes and decorations.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “In recent years we’ve seen increased demand for Halloween products, particularly amongst adults. We challenged our buyers to unleash their most realistic and terrifying Halloween decorations, to provide our customers with the best, high-quality products at consistently low prices.

Aldi’s Halloween range features a number of increasingly realistic props, some of which include mechanical features specifically designed to replicate the terrors that haunt us after dark. Guaranteed to terrify the neighbours and raise the dead, the Undead Corpse reacts to sound by rising up and howling with red-lit eyes.

Those who dare to look, will find Aldi’s Dancing Skeleton lurking alongside the Laughing Frankie. Both characters come with adjustable telescopic legs, arms and head along with a spine-chilling laugh to send the whole crowd shrieking.

The supermarket will continue to stock its bestselling kid-friendly products in-store by resurrecting its range of Children’s Halloween Costumes, sure to do the trick, and are a treat at just £4.99 each.
Aldi’s Halloween range is the ultimate one-stop shop for the creepiest essentials. Shoppers can order online now. This truly terrifying range is set to disappear, so get in quick, because as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Notes to editors:
Aldi is Britain’s fifth largest supermarket with over 840 stores and almost 33,000 employees.
The company has more than doubled its market share since 2010. In the 12 weeks to 8^th September 2019, Aldi grew sales by 6.3% and achieved an 8.1% share of the UK grocery market (Kantar Worldpanel data).
Aldi is investing £1bn in stores and distribution centres across the UK in 2019 and 2020. By 2025, it plans to double its store numbers inside the M25 - from 45 to 100 - and operate more than 1,200 stores.
Aldi is attracting hundreds of thousands of new customers every year with its range of exclusive brands, passing low operating costs on to customers in the form of low prices.
The supermarket believes in making every day amazing and that’s why every single day Aldi delivers on the best possible value for millions of families throughout the UK and Ireland across everything from award-winning fresh produce to world class gin.
Aldi won’t be beaten on price; consistently racks up award after award for quality; treats its suppliers with fairness and respect and recognises the responsibility of supporting valued institutions such as Team GB to demonstrate the importance of health and wellness. That’s Aldi. That’s everyday amazing. The reason they do this? Because Aldi believes that everyone should have access to fresh, healthy, affordable food…it’s a right, not a privilege.
The company’s current achievements and initiatives include:

Aldi is the UK’s lowest priced supermarket. According to The Grocer, a basket of everyday products was £8.65 more expensive at the Big Four on average - that’s 24% more (The Grocer – 13^th June)
Aldi has a five-year partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust – its fundraising target of £5m will go towards helping the trust to reach out to every young person with cancer in the UK.
Aldi’s rates of pay are significantly higher than the Government’s National Living Wage and also above the Living Wage Foundation’s recommended national rates. Store Assistants receive a minimum hourly rate of £9.10 nationally and £10.55 in London.
Aldi is the official supermarket partner of Team GB and ensures every member of the team has access to fresh healthy Aldi food via monthly shopping vouchers, and that 1.2 million 5-14 year olds will learn about the benefits of cooking fresh, healthy food via its Get Set to Eat Fresh education initiative. Aldi has been a partner since 2015 and has extended its commitment to the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
In June 2019, for the sixth consecutive year, Aldi was ranked the best-performing supermarket for compliance with the Groceries Supply Code of Practice, underlining its commitment to maintaining fair, predictable and sustainable prices within its supply chain.

Full details of Aldi’s awards and achievements are detailed at www.aldi.co.uk/awards

GET SOME (FIRE) CRACKING DEALS WITH ALDI’S FIREWORKS RANGE

Shoppers can get more bang for their buck this Bonfire Night with Aldi’s cracking fireworks range, starting from as little as £1.29 for a 21 pack of Sparklers. Light up night skies with mesmerising rockets and colourful fountains for a spectacular display without breaking the bank, thanks to Aldi’s top-quality selection. The range is available in-store from Tuesday 15^th October, but shoppers will have to shoot in, because as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Start any display in style with a medley of Ready, Steady GO, Pinky Blinders and Twin Blasting Barrels, all under £10 each! A guaranteed showstopper, Aldi’s Twin Blasting Barrels (£9.99), will wow guests with beautiful multi-coloured stars and silver chrysanthemums dancing across the night sky. Whilst this year’s new kids on the block, Whole Shabang (£29.99) and TNT - Terminator (£59.99) will amaze shoppers with terrific aerial performances dancing across the sky.

Shoppers needn’t worry about their display being over in a flash thanks to Aldi’s LoL Selection Box (£9.99). It lasts approximately 13-15 spectacular minutes with 14 fountains and a finale that erupts into a pretty column of glitter. Alternatively, guests will be captivated with the Wow pack (£14.99), containing 16 fireworks including aerial shot tubes, mines and much more, lasting approximately 12-14 minutes. Or for a classic combination of fountains, rockets and Roman candles, pick up Aldi’s No 1 (£19.99), which lasts an impressive 12-14 minutes approximately.

Rocket fans will be blown away with the Star Striker (£5.99), as it fills the sky with crescendos of colour and crackles, whilst the Sky Pilot (£12.99) delivers a striking display of red and green falling leaves, silver darting fish and mixed coloured chrysanthemums. Fireworks fans will marvel at the Air Strike (19.99) and Raging Raptor (£9.99), as they light up the sky with a series of multi-colour bursts and flashes.

Choose from Aldi’s Detonator (£39.99) or the breath-taking Ultimate Finale (£49.99) to end celebrations with the biggest bang.

SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF THIS - ALDI LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE TUTTI FRUTTI GIN LIQUEUR

Didsbury Gin’s latest liqueur is to be stocked exclusively at Aldi
Demand for flavoured gins is on the rise, with UK sales up by 457% in the past year[1]
Taking shoppers down memory lane with a sweet twist on the nation’s favourite spirit

Shoppers will leave stores feeling sweet this Summer, as Aldi is set to expand its award-winning gin range with the exclusive launch of Didsbury Gin’s Tutti Frutti Gin Liqueur (£13.99). Available from 22^nd August, this vibrant new addition will sit alongside nine new spirits as part of the supermarket’s first ever National Spirits Festival.
Aldi will be the first supermarket retailer to stock a product from the Manchester-based gin brand, which is currently stocked in premium stores including Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. This Tutti Frutti Gin Liqueur not only offers shoppers a taste of luxury for a fraction of the price, but also is guaranteed to satisfy the sweet tooth of any gin fans with a craving for sweet and zesty flavours.
After securing an investment from Dragon’s Den’s Jenny Campbell, Didsbury Gin developed this exclusive liqueur for Aldi alongside MasterChef Champion Simon Wood, who won the title with his famous Tutti Frutti dessert. Combining the dessert’s fresh lemon and subtle tropical fruit flavours with the Didsbury gin recipe created a bright and citrussy gin liqueur with a delicate, smooth and velvet like finish, truly bringing shoppers that refreshing tutti frutti flavour everyone knows and loves.
This sweet refresher can be enjoyed as a sweet twist on the classic gin and tonic served with a generous slice of pink grapefruit and a twist of orange or go the extra mile by concocting a Tutti Frutti Spritz mixed with Aldi’s bestselling Organic Prosecco (£7.99) and fresh grapefruit juice.
Simon Wood, MasterChef 2015 Champion, comments: "We’ve been big fans of Didsbury Gin from day one at my restaurant Wood Manchester. I love to support local brands and when Liam and Mark asked if I wanted to collaborate with them, I couldn’t wait to make Tutti Frutti into a gin!
Tutti-Frutti literally translates as all the fruits. My dessert from the MasterChef final is my very own Citrus Tutti-Frutti. It’s made up of all the citrus fruit, lemon, lime, ruby grapefruit, vanilla & passion fruit. A great mix for a really tasty gin."
Liam Manton, Managing Director at Didsbury Gin, comments: “We're delighted to be collaborating with MasterChef Champion, Simon Wood on this exciting new product. Combining two of the nation’s favourite things, gin and dessert. We've created something extremely special and can't wait for it to be enjoyed by gin drinkers across the country in one of Britain’s most loved supermarkets”
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, comments: “As flavoured gin shows no signs of slowing down, we’re thrilled to be partnering with Didsbury Gin to bring shoppers more unique flavour combinations like Simon Wood’s MasterChef winning dessert, Tutti Frutti. This innovative new addition to our gin range reflects our commitment to ensuring our customers enjoy the best quality products, without breaking the bank.”
As well as this sweet treat, the National Spirits Festival will showcase a variety of new and exciting additions to Aldi’s spirits range including the Infusionist Mystical Unicorn Gin Liqueur (£9.99), Greysons Rhubarb & Bramble Gin (£15.99), Crossbones Dark & Golden Rums (both £16.99) and the ultimate spirits of the moment - Villa Lobos Tequila (£29.99) and Mezcal (£34.99)!
Aldi’s Didsbury Tutti Frutti Gin Liqueur priced at £13.99 is available online and in stores nationwide from the 22^nd August

RETURNING TO CASA A-MUM AND DAD

Aldi reveal the surprising things parents love about children returning home from university for summer… including going clubbing and watching Love Island!

Readjusting to life when children return home from university is not always plain sailing, but for parents who have survived the initial settling in period, the benefits of having children back at home can start to show.

Research conducted by Aldi, reveals that a third of parents admit they get bored having only their partner for company when their offspring are away studying. As a result, 40% say having their children return for the summer months is positive as it 'brings a refreshing, younger person’s perspective on life'.

One in five (20%) of parents even admitted they get to indulge in TV shows they wouldn’t normally watch such as ‘Love Island’.

A quarter (25%) of parents enjoy making a bigger effort to cook interesting food when their children are home. Shopping for a wider selection of varied food items can be made easy at Aldi, where a large range of specialist foods are available at amazing value. Weekly Super 6 offers have included unusual fruit and veg such as lychees, Sharon fruit and vegan favourite jackfruit.

Aldi’s website offers a huge range of varied recipes to offer inspiration to parents who want to make more of an effort with cooking when their children return home.

Meanwhile, parents say having their children home means they have someone to watch sport with and talk about fashion. The study even found that 13% of dads go out to bars and clubs with their returning child.

Parents showed they find their uses for returning children, with a third saying they wait for them to return so they can 'sort out any tech/gadget issues'.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, says: “At Aldi we are proud to offer exceptional quality and taste at fantastic value, helping families to cope with increased household costs during summer, without comprising on range or quality.”

PACK A PUNCH WITH ALDI’S NEW SUMMER PUNCH SMOKED SALMON

Treat yourself to a deliciously decadent midweek meal that oozes sophistication with supermarket Aldi’s NEW Summer Punch Smoked Salmon. Generously marinated in a loving blend of Gin and Mint, this tantalizingly good salmon delight is available in stores from Thursday 8^th August for the fantastic price of only £2.99 (100g)!

Sustainably farmed in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic, this culminating salmon is hand cured in a mix of salt and demerara sugar for a well-balanced and rounded flavour. The salmon is then left to slowly smoke for 8-10 hours over smoldering oak wood chippings, to create that classic smoky taste, before marinating in a refreshing cocktail of Gin and a sprinkle of mint for up to 24 hours. The result is a truly ‘gintresting’ taste!

For that quirky ‘instagrammable’ picture, try serving with a fresh salad of rocket and watercress and a squeeze of lemon juice to bring all the delicious melt-in-your-mouth flavours together. A match made in salmon heaven!

Grab your Summer Punch Smoked Salmon while you can before ‘salmon else’ does! As with all Specialbuys once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Own-label Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin voted best in the world!
Aldi’s Spirits range has scooped 24 medals in 2019 to date

Supermarket Aldi has triumphed once again, taking home three accolades at this year’s Spirits Business Gin Masters. A coveted ‘Masters’ title, the highest distinction available, was awarded to the Greyson’s Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin (£14.99), beating off stiff competition from bottles costing up to two times the price.
The nation’s love of flavoured gins has yet to slow down, with a staggering 66 million bottles sold in 2018 alone. So it’s no wonder that Greyson’s Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin scored the nod of approval from the judges – achieving one of the highest ever awards received for the supermarket’s spirits range[1].
Retailing at £14.99, Aldi’s Greyson’s Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin is 40% of the price of Tanqueray Flor De Sevilla Gin, offering shoppers a huge £10 saving on the trendy citrus based drink.

Shoppers will also be glad to hear that the supermarket’s bestselling tipples; Harrison’s Gin (£15.99) and Passionfruit Gin Liqueur (£9.99) also took home coveted Gold and Silver medals respectively, continuing their winning streak having already scooped both a silver and bronze medal at this year’s International Spirits Challenge.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “It’s an incredible achievement to be recognised for our gin range at such a prestigious competition, not only once, but three times! We’ve seen the trend for flavoured gins become increasingly popular over the last few years and we’re thrilled to see that the quality of our products makes them stand out from the crowd with both our loyal customers and gin connoisseurs alike.”
Aldi’s spirits range has gone from strength to strength, having been awarded an impressive 24 medals at international competitions this year alone, as well as scooping 127 medals across the entire beers, wine and spirits range.

ALDI CROWNED UK’S LOWEST PRICED SUPERMARKET YET AGAIN ALDI ALMOST £5 CHEAPER THAN ASDA ON BASKET OF 33 EVERYDAY ITEMS

An average basket of 33 essential items at The Big Four is 23.56% more expensive than at Aldi

Aldi has been named the UK’s lowest-priced supermarket yet again by trade magazine, The Grocer, in its independent price comparison survey, ‘The Grocer 33’.

The analysis shows shoppers can save £4.47 on a basket of 33 everyday items at Aldi compared with its nearest-priced competitor, Asda, and £18.22 compared with its most expensive rival, Waitrose.

The basket of goods was on average 23.56% more expensive at the Big Four than at Aldi, who also had the lowest price on 28 of the 33 grocery items tracked by The Grocer, which includes everyday items regularly bought by shoppers.

This is Aldi’s fourth appearance as a ‘guest retailer’ in the survey during the last 12 months and on each occasion, it has maintained a sizeable price gap to other supermarkets.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi said: “This result shows that yet again we are Britain’s lowest-priced supermarket, which is a key reason why more than a million new shoppers have switched to Aldi from more expensive supermarkets during the last 12 months*”

“We’re continuing to work hard to keep prices low for our customers, as well as expanding our store network to reach even more shoppers.”

Aldi is the UK’s fastest-growing supermarket and has a long-term store opening target of 1,200 stores across the UK by the end of 2025.

FOUR of Aldi’s whiskies named amongst the best in the world
Aldi’s own label range triumphed at international drinks competition, picking up four Gold medals

Ahead of Father’s Day Aldi’s own label whiskies have once again been named amongst the best in the world, having won an incredible FOUR Gold medals at the highly acclaimed Spirits Business Scotch Whisky Masters, beating off stiff competition.

The supermarket also added a Silver medal for its Highland Black Scotch Whisky (£13.49) to its ever-expanding trophy cabinet.

This isn’t the first time Aldi’s whisky range has been given the nod of approval by experts - the Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky continued its winning streak by taking home a Gold medal at this competition for a second year running. This year alone, Aldi’s spirits range has been awarded an impressive 17 medals at international competitions.

CASSETTES COME ‘BOOMING’ BACK INTO FASHION

Sales of cassette tapes see huge increase as retro tech makes a comeback
Supermarket chain Aldi makes the trend affordable for all with new Boombox

If you’ve got a stash of old cassette tapes collecting dust, then this could be the time to give them a new lease of life. The cassette has been quietly making a comeback over the past couple of years and now leading supermarket Aldi is giving you a chance to jump on the trend with its classic Boombox (£29.99). The must-have sound system will be available to order online from Sunday 2nd June and in stores from 9th June – just in time for Father’s Day.

The Official Charts Company recently revealed that cassette sales were up 90% year-on-year[1], with a whopping 50,000 cassette tape albums being bought in the UK last year alone[2]. Global artists from Take That to 30 Seconds to Mars, and even Ariana Grande, are all taking to tape – and what better way to enjoy them than through a classic Boombox. Aldi’s great-value gadget comes in at under £30, giving shoppers a saving of around £200 compared to similar products on the market.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, said: “In a society obsessed with the latest tech, it’s great to see cassette tapes experiencing a revival. There’s definitely a growing trend for nostalgia and we’re pleased that we can make these types of items accessible and affordable for all. Real music lovers will be hard-pressed to find a deal as good as this, so we expect the Boombox to be snapped up in record time, especially as retro tech is so high on customer’s wish lists right now.”

Just like Star-Lord of Guardians of the Galaxy fame, you too can make your very own mixtape with the built-in recording function, which records straight from the radio. If you want to mix in a bit of 21^st century tech then there’s options to use Bluetooth connectivity, USB and SD slots and a headphone jack. Warning – with two 8W x-bass speakers and released in time for Father’s Day, this product could cause some serious dad dancing!

With no swiping, shuffle buttons or headphones attached, Aldi found out what today’s kids make of retro tech.

ALDI LAUNCHES MOST PREMIUM CHAMPAGNE RANGE YET

Supermarket launches premium Champagne range to target high-end shoppers
Rare bottles include an Organic Champagne
Aldi has sold over 1.4m bottles of its Veuve Monsigny Champagne in the past year alone

Aldi has announced it is expanding its award-winning Champagne range, with the addition of a host of premium bottles, to cater for the ever-growing number of upmarket shoppers hitting its wine aisles.

The new range marks the supermarket’s most premium offering yet, with exciting new additions including an Organic Champagne and three new vintage bottles from its longstanding and highly acclaimed Champagne supplier; Philizot et Fils.

Available now, the Organic Champagne is a first of its kind for Aldi, as the supermarket taps into growing demand for organic wines. Hailing from the Marne Valley, the fizz was created without the use of pesticides or chemicals, resulting in an elegant Champagne, that boasts a unique pink colour owing to the lack of sulphur within the liquid.

Despite the boom in organic products, only 600 of the 33,000 hectares of vines (less than 2%) in the Champagne region are certified as organic[1], making organic wines a rarity on supermarket shelves. The bottle will be sold exclusively via Aldi.co.uk; at just £26.99, half the price of premium offerings, such as Lanson’s Green Label Organic Brut, that costs a whopping £55 a bottle[2].

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, comments: “We’re incredibly proud of our wine range and thanks to the excellent work of our talented buying team, our Champagne offering continues to go from strength to strength.

Our Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut NV has continued to be incredibly popular with our shoppers, proven by the number of bottles of bubbly we sell on a daily basis. We’re delighted to be able to cater to increased demand for quality fizz with our most premium range yet.”

A full list of Aldi’s Champagne range can be found below, with more information about online exclusive wines at Aldi.co.uk/c/wines/ONLINE-EXCLUSIVES

Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut NV (£12.49, 75cl)
Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut Grand Reserve NV (£14.99, 75cl)
Veuve Monsigny Champagne Rosé NV (£16.99, 75cl)

A PEONY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS?

A fresh bouquet of flowers is the perfect way to welcome the warmer weather and what is prettier than a posy of peonies? With their delicately, soft appearance, perfectly pink petals and enchanting aroma it’s no wonder they’re a firm favourite when it comes to flowers. Supermarket Aldi is brightening up your home this season with two British peonies available in standard and a specially selected variant- how bloomin’ lovely!

Peonies, £3.50 A classic Sarah Bernhardt variety, which is the most popular of all peonies, and for good reason! These stunning pale pink peonies look gorgeous both closed and in full bloom and will take pride of place in any room. These beautiful bunches will be available to buy in-store from Thursday 30^th May

Specially Selected Peonies, £6.00 opt for something slightly different with this red charm bouquet. Rarer compared to the standard peony, these have large beautiful rich red outer petals which open to reveal the inner flower, full of intense crimson petals.

These blossoming bouquets are available to buy in-store from Thursday 23rd May but be quick, we predict these Specialbuys won’t be round for long given last year’s sell-out demand.

THE VEGANING OF SOMETHING SPECIAL

It’s hard to ignore the growing popularity of veganism[i] and as the trend continues to gather momentum, so does supermarket Aldi’s offering. With four new frozen meat-free options joining the range this month, there will be plenty on offer to choose from.

Say hello to the newest vegan sausage roll on the block…Mae’s Kitchen Vegan, No Sausage Rolls (£1.19, 4 pack) are wrapped in flaky, golden puff pastry and are the perfect meat-free and vegan contender to the much-loved British favourite. Made using soya, these sausage rolls have been lovingly created to be as good as the real thing and at just 30p each, they are worth a try!

Also joining Aldi’s new frozen vegan range are Mae’s Kitchen Vegan No Beef Burgers and Mae’s Kitchen Vegan No Chicken Burger. They’re everything you would expect from a burger…thick, flavoursome and juicy; you’ll find it hard to believe they’re vegan!

Mae’s Kitchen Vegan No Beef Burgers (£1.99, 2 pack) are plant-based burgers that resemble a quarter pounder in size, shape and colour and you’ll find it difficult to believe they’re made from wheat, soya and pea protein, onions and mushrooms – not an ounce of meat in sight!

At an amazing 19g of protein per burger, you can enjoy the texture and flavour of beef, without any of the guilt.

Mae’s Kitchen Vegan No Chicken Burgers (£1.99, 2 pack) are made with vegetable protein and covered in a golden crumb coating to give the taste and texture of a chicken burger. These delicious chicken alternatives will rival any fast food chain favourites and will cost you a fraction of the price too…we know, it sounds too good to be true!

Aldi’s new Mae’s Kitchen Superfood Burgers (£1.29, 2 pack) are packed full of the good stuff. You’ll find quinoa, cous cous, pumpkin seeds, butternut squash, red pepper and sweet potato – an unbelievable amount of SUPER crammed into just one burger.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, says: “The launch of our new vegan range is in response to our growing, ethically inspired customer base, looking for delicious alternatives to meat and another example of our ongoing commitment to cater for all diets, at everyday low prices. We look forward to expanding our vegan offering even further over the coming months.”

SO SOFISHTICATED: ALDI LAUNCH NEW PREMIUM WHOLE FISH RANGE

Supermarket Aldi have launched Specially Selected Whole Seabass and Specially Selected Whole Seabream in all stores for only £3.49 (400g).

Aldi will be stocking WHOLE fish that has already been prepared - gutted, descaled and had the back bones removed.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, says: “Although Whole Fish is renowned for being juicier and moister than fillets and steaks, some people are put off from eating it because of the time and effort needed for preparation. This summer, this needn’t be the case, as we have taken the fuss out of the process leaving our customers with more time to enjoy eating this restaurant quality fish.”

Aldi’s whole Seabream and whole Seabass have been responsibly sourced from the Aegean Sea and are a delicious summer meal solution which can be enjoyed oven cooked, grilled or barbecued.

Looking for a quick and delicious barbecue meal? Simply drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. For a citrus-spiked seabass, stuff the fish with fresh lemon and orange slices, bay leaves, and fragrant thyme. For a Mediterranean-style seabream, use garlic, sundried tomatoes and fresh coriander. Lightly grill until fish is cooked thoroughly and enjoy the luxurious flavours of the sea that seep through.

The new launches, which will be in store as Specialbuys from Thursday 16th May, will include four, easy-to-cook white fish alternatives including; Whiting, Gurnard, Pouting and Megrim Sole - for just £1.99. Known as “by-catch”, they are often found while fishing for favourites such as cod, haddock and sole.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “These fish taste every bit as good as traditional favourites like haddock, but are often thrown away by fishing crews because they’re not what we’re used to.

“Our customers trust us to continue to offer outstanding quality food at unbeatable prices, and to do so whilst also sourcing sustainable British products. Our new ‘What’s the Catch?’ brand delivers on all fronts. We want to help our customers explore new varieties of fresh British fish whilst also ensuring we continue to strive towards our sustainable sourcing commitments.”

Although Whiting, Gurnard, Pouting and Megrim Sole aren’t commonly eaten in the UK, they are popular in European markets where most of the ‘by-catch’ is often sold. The flavour profiles of these alternatives are comparable to well-known white fish such as monkfish, dover sole, cod and haddock.

• British Gurnard (180g, £1.99) – a firm fleshed fish similar to monkfish

• British Megrim Sole (180g, £1.99) – similar to a delicate Dover Sole fillet

• British Whiting (180g, £1.99) – with a similar subtle flavour to Cod

• British Pouting (180g, £1.99) – a flaky and sweet haddock-like fillet

Aldi was named the best British supermarket in 2018 for sustainable fish by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) with 79% of its range being certified as sustainable.

EVERYTHING'S LOOKING ROSE! ALDI'S ROSE CHAMPAGNE VOTED BEST IN THE WORLD AT INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE

Aldi’s rosé wine range has triumphed at an international tasting competition, after the supermarket introduced its largest range yet to keep up with demand for the pink tipple.

The supermarket’s rosés scooped six medals at the 2019 International Wine Challenge (IWC), with the Veuve Monsigny Champagne Rosé NV (£16.99), which hits stores later this week, taking home the highly-coveted Gold medal - the only supermarket Champagne to do so.

Following record sales last summer, Aldi has expanded its Rosé wine range this year to include a host of dynamic new Provence-style wines, such as the Côtes du Luberon Rosé, which took home a Silver medal at the prestigious competition.

Aldi’s recently expanded organic range also proved successful, with the Organic Malbec (£6.99) scooping a silver medal, taking the retailer’s overall medal count to 52.

Aldi’s range of beers, wines and spirits has already won 63 awards so far this year, building on the success of 2018, when the range won over 240 awards. The supermarket also achieved the title of Supermarket of the Year at the IWC Merchant Awards 2018.

DODGY DÉCOR FAILS ARE COSTING HOME SELLERS CASH INVESTING JUST £300 CAN ADD UP TO £10K ON TO YOUR HOUSE VALUE

Aldi teamed up with interiors star, Anna Ryder Richardson, to makeover a home in under two hours for just £300 adding an average of over £8k to the property’s value
One in five buyers say that hideous décor is one of the biggest turn-offs when looking for a house
Nearly half (44%) offered less for a property because the interior was not to their taste

New research released by Aldi today has revealed that almost one in five (19%) Brits claim that dodgy décor can be one of the biggest turn-offs when house viewing. Aldi surveyed 2,000 UK home owners to celebrate their Kirkton House range, which features a choice of quality interior products at everyday amazing prices.

Following the research, Aldi challenged home interiors star, Anna Ryder Richardson, to add value to a property with a budget of only £300, and using just the Aldi Kirkton House interiors range. The three bedroom, semi-detached home in Dartford, Kent, was evaluated by three local estate agents, before and after the makeover, and the property’s value increased by up to £10,000 across each valuation* – simply thorough decluttering, furniture rearrangement and the addition of stylist interior accessories. Watch the video on https://www.aldi.co.uk/kirkton-house.

According to the survey, quick upgrades can make a big difference for 34% of home buyers who say that stylish furnishings make them more likely to buy. The kitchen came out on top, with almost three quarters (72%) stating it’s the most important room to look good during a viewing. Real estate turn-offs were dark rooms (50%), awkward layouts (36%) and overgrown gardens (32%).

After seven viewings sellers consider making changes to their home to help shift it, with desperate owners splashing out on average £900 to finally make a sale. When it comes to age, image-conscious 18-34 year olds are spending over five times more (£3,131) than the thrifty 55+’s, who on average part with just £543 to shift their property.

Home interiors star, Anna Ryder Richardson, comments: “Together with Aldi, we’ve proven that you don’t need to break the bank to spruce up your interiors and help make that sale. We spent a third of what home buyers think they need to spend and increased the property’s value by an average of over £8k! It’s easy to invest a small amount and make a big difference. Here are some tips from the makeover to try at home:

Define the space in each room. A beautiful woven rug can indicate how a room should be used and brighten up a space in one easy step – try placing a colourful option in the centre of the living room to create a fun colour pop like the Aldi Kirkton House flatweave rug in navy blue
Make sure your rooms look spacious, appealing and homely. Consider the layout of the room and whether it feels welcoming to walk into - decluttering is a must and try shuffling the furniture around to experiment with different arrangements. Aldi’s Kirkton House Adjustable Desk Lamp will help to light up any room and add a warm feel
For house viewers, the kitchen is key - make sure your dirty plates aren’t still in the sink and set-up table places and crockery to show viewers what your home would look like to really live in it. Aldi’s wide range of quality Kirkton House cutlery and dinnerware can help to set the scene
Think about the overall interior design in your house – do you have personal items on display that perhaps don’t match the décor? Take down a few personal pictures here and there for a slicker look. Aldi’s Kirkton House storage baskets will come in handy here!
Make first impressions count and don’t forget your hallway! Place a nice welcome mat down and tidy-up shoes lying around in the space – Aldi’s Kirkton House Designer Lounge and Hallway range has hallway-specific show stoppers from a stencilled, geometric-design mat to a fun cactus hallway doorstop
Make the most of your outside space and opt for bright colours for the garden – colourful, patterned cushions and garden dining ware will come to life against the organic backdrop of green grass and bright flowers. Aldi’s Kirkton House Printed PVC Tablecloth in lemon print and decorative glass balloons will look fantastic in the sunshine and spruce up any garden”

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, said: “As the housing market is so uncertain, we’re happy that we can offer the security of consistently low prices in the Kirkton House home range. With a choice of quality and everyday products, the range can help you upgrade your home on a budget.”

The first Kirkton House range is available as part of Aldi’s Specialbuys from Sunday 5^th May online and in-store from Thursday 9^th May - but interior gurus must be quick as with all Specialbuys once they’re gone, they’re gone! Upcoming Kirkton House range on sale dates can be found below:

LACURA EXTENDS PINK CLAY RANGE

NEW Hot Cloth Cleanser AND Pink Clay Exfoliating Face Scrub join the range

Supermarket Aldi’s Lacura range has some exciting NEW additions to give your skincare routine a refresh! Two NEW products, including Lacura’s Pink Clay Hot Cloth Cleanser (£3.99) AND Pink Clay Exfoliating Face Scrub (£2.99) will be hitting the shelves from Thursday 18^th April. Lacura fans will also be thrilled to hear the sell-out Pink Clay Mask (£5.99) is also back due to popular demand. Costing under £13.00 for the three products in the range, that’s everything you need for fresh, glowing skin this spring. Be quick though as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Pink clay has been used for generations as a vital skincare ingredient to reduce inflammation and irritation which causes acne. The miracle ingredient also minimises blackheads and promotes skin elasticity for younger, clearer looking skin. What’s not to love?

It’s time to perfect your new spring skincare routine:

It’s all about the base with the NEW Lacura Pink Clay Hot Cloth Cleanser (£3.99), inspired by Aldi’s hot cloth cleanser. Start by gently cleansing your face to reveal a naturally healthy-looking complexion. With cocoa butter, pink clay, Australian kakadu plum and extracts of Bamboo, Macadamia, Mangosteen and Pomegranate, your skin will look as good as it feels.

For a good scrub try the NEW Lacura Pink Clay Exfoliating Face Scrub (£2.99). This dual action exfoliating face scrub absorbs oil and helps to reduce the look of pores, softening and smoothing the skin. The product promises to refine and mattify your skin so much that you’ll notice a difference in two weeks.

Chase the glow with Lacura’s Pink Clay Mask (£5.99) This beauty hero is packed full of ingredients including Pink, Kaolin and Bentonite clays that work hard to detoxify and draw out impurities from skin, as well as Australian Kakadu Plum extracts that will brighten your complexion. Simply apply with the brush included in the pack and wash off after ten minutes, to reveal tightened pores and a radiant glow.

But that’s not all! Some of Lacura’s other firm favourites are making a comeback this season with Lacura BB Cream (£2.99), the perfect addition to a make-up bag, for anyone looking for a lighter alternative to foundation. Skin will appear smoother and more hydrated for up to 24 hours. Available in three skin shades – light, medium and ‘spring/summer glow’. Apply your new BB Cream with Lacura Make up Sponge (£1.49) for a flawless finish.

GRAPE BRITAIN! ALDI LAUNCHES HOME-GROWN WINE FOR LESS THAN £10

Demand for home-grown wines is at an all-time high, with 15.6million bottles produced in 2018
Premium tipple made with signature British grape, Bacchus – the UK’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc

Supermarket Aldi has announced the launch of its English still wine, as it looks to tap into the growing trend for homegrown tipples. Available now, the Exquisite Lyme Block English Wine retails at just £9.99.

Made in conjunction with Lyme Bay, a Devon–based winery renowned for its quality offering and innovative approach to winemaking, the tipple has been made using England's signature grape, Bacchus, dubbed by experts as the ‘Sauvignon Blanc of England’.

The launch comes as demand for English wine is at an all-time high. A record 15.6 million bottles were produced in 2018, after last summer’s heatwave created the perfect growing conditions for British vineyards[1]. Whilst Blighty has hit the headlines in recent times for its sparkling wines, still wines are now becoming just as popular too, thanks to the quality of the grapes grown in English vineyards.

James Lambert, MD at Lyme Bay Winery comments: “With their reputation for introducing consumers to exceptional wines at great prices, coupled with their immense experience in the wine trade, the opportunity with Aldi was the perfect partnership. To date, the high price point around English Wines has presented a barrier to many consumers, so we’re delighted to be able to work with Aldi to open up the exciting world of English wines to more people across the country.”

Sam Caporn MW, Aldi’s Mistress of Wine, comments: ““For those looking to try something a little different this Spring, the Exquisite Collection Lyme Block English Wine 2018 is an exciting option. Mde predominantly from the Bacchus grape - which is typically compared to Sauvignon Banc, the Exquisite Lyme Block English Wine shares the same crisp and zesty appeal - but with additional notes of elderflower, greengage and citrus.
Mouthwateringly fresh, it tastes fantastic when paired with fresh fish or a goats cheese salad and is from the superlative 2018 vintage; a result of last year's long, hot summer. Whilst currently better known for the outstanding quality of their sparkling wines, England is now showing that it can produce fantastic still wines too and Bacchus is by far my personal favourite zing-a-ling fresh white perfect for Spring and Summer sipping! Just add sunshine.”

GRAB A PI-ZZA PINSA AT ALDI

No, it’s not a typo, you’ve read it right - Pinsa’s are a thing and are set to take the country by storm! Supermarket Aldi, has launched Stonebaked Pinsa’s (£1.99), as part of their summer seasonal frozen food range, available to buy in stores now.

So, what’s all the fuss about? The word Pinsa comes from the Latin word ‘Pinsere’, meaning ‘stretch-spread-out’, which refers to the composition of the Pinsa base. Made using an ancient recipe, the Pinsa is thought to be more digestible than a pizza because of the ultra-hydrated dough, which is 80% water compared to a pizza which is more often 50-60%. The increased volume of water helps to make Pinsa’s lighter, airier and crunchier - bellisimo!!

And, there’s more…Aldi’s Stonebaked Pinsa’s are made using water directly from the Sibillini mountain region in Italy. Fancy!

Aldi’s Stonebaked Pinsa’s have launched in three delicious flavours:

Chicken Tikka - chicken breast pieces in a fragrant tikka sauce with peppers and onions, topped with creamy mozzarella

Ham, Bacon & Mushroom - slices of tender ham, bacon and seasoned mushrooms with creamy mascarpone sauce

Grilled Vegetables & Pesto – Tomatoes, red onion and grilled peppers topped with mozzarella and finished with a green pesto sauce

If you like Pizza, you will love Pinsa’s - what are you waiting for?

At Aldi, we know that money alone doesn’t buy you quality and for 43% cheaper, our British, Red Tractor assured steaks have long been a customer favourite. The results do the talking, at Aldi, families can treat themselves to delicious, premium quality cuts of meat without spending a fortune.”

RUM-ARKABLE SUCCESS!

£16.99 rum from Aldi awarded a GOLD medal, placing alongside brands nearly THREE times its price

Supermarket Aldi’s own-label rum range has been praised by industry experts at one of the world’s most highly regarded blind tasting competitions, the Spirits Business Rum Masters. Judges awarded Aldi’s Sea Dog Premium Spiced Rum (£16.99) a coveted Gold medal alongside Ableforth's Rumbullion! Navy-Strength (£45)[1], which retails at nearly THREE times the price of the Sea Dog Premium Spiced Rum.

Noting its excellence in taste and great-value price point, the panel commended the rum’s unique notes of sweet vanilla, warming spices, coffee and a citrus lime kick - finished with a deep and flavoursome aftertaste. Aldi’s bestselling Old Hopking Spiced Rum (£10.49) was also awarded a Silver medal.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “We are delighted that our own-label rums have excelled once again at an international competition. Our UK based buying team are constantly challenging themselves with new and exciting innovation to add to our range, so seeing new products win awards is a real testament to their hard work.
“Rum continues to be a popular product with Aldi shoppers, and in 2018 alone we sold over 2million bottles of the spirit. As more shoppers tap into the trend for creating cocktails at home, we’re expecting another great year of sales.”
Amy Hopkins, Deputy Editor at The Spirits Business, also commented: “Aldi UK once again secured some impressive accolades in The Spirits Business’s Rum & Cachaça Masters.
“In the competitive Spiced round, the retailer’s Sea Dog Premium Spiced Rum was praised for its buttery sweetness, whilst Old Hopking Spiced Rum impressed the judging panel with its balanced sweet and herbaceous flavour. In such a rigorous blind-tasting, the team at Aldi should be very pleased with their performance.”

Aldi’s drinks range has gone from strength to strength in recent times, having been awarded an impressive 50 accolades for its spirits range over the past year. For more information about Aldi’s award-winning range, visit https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/spirits/all-spirits.

GET YOUR SKIN SPRING READY

Get ready to blossom this spring with your favourite Aldi Lacura skin saviours. From the sell-out Healthy Glow Tonic and Hot Cloth Cleanser to all-time favourites Miracle Cream and Glycolic Cleansing Pads, Lacura’s most popular products are coming back for a limited time only. What’s more, Lacura is launching a NEW Exfoliating Daily Face Wash too, so you can have spring-clean skin.

Available to pre-order online from Sunday 3^rd March and pick up in stores from Thursday 7^th March, so mark your diaries and stock up – as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Lacura’s Healthy Glow Tonic (£3.99) contains 5% glycolic acid and is great for exfoliating skin and removing impurities. The aloe vera soothes and hydrates skin and the ginseng improves circulation, leaving skin feeling refreshed and revitalised. This refreshing tonic will give your skin the luxury treatment, without the hefty price tag.

Apply to your skin in the morning or evening after cleansing and before moisturising, using a cotton pad to wipe over face, neck and décolletage, giving your skin an energising boost.

Treat your skin to a little TLC with the return of Lacura’s Hot Cloth Cleanser (£3.99), designed to gently soften, tone and purify the skin with rosemary, chamomile, cocoa butter and eucalyptus oil. Massage onto dry skin and let the rich formula work its magic to remove makeup, clean out pores and cleanse the skin. Polish off the cleanser with a 100% muslin cloth that will leave the face feeling smooth and refreshed.

Lacura’s Miracle Cream (£3.99) is a miracle indeed, costing just £3.99. It works to protect, moisturise and soothe normal, dry and irritated skin, leaving skin feeling irresistibly smooth. But that’s not all, the cream can also be used to soften chapped lips and aid dry cuticles.

The sell-out Lacura Glycolic Cleansing Pads (£2.49) are another beauty steal. The Lacura pads work to refine, re-texture and resurface the skin, providing a brighter, more radiant looking complexion.

The NEW Lacura Daily Face Wash (£1.49) available as an exfoliating wash or deep clean. Both effectively removes dirt, oil and dead skin cells without drying out the skin. Specifically developed to prevent breakouts and leave skin feeling clearer and smoother from first use. To use, massage a small amount gently into wet skin taking extra care around the delicate eye area. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

If the amazing skincare wasn’t enough, check out the makeup Specialbuys that are also returning to shelves form 7^th March:

Illusion Touch 2 In 1 Foundation (£5.99) will become a staple in your makeup bag. The creamy concealer covers skin irregularities and creates a base layer. The liquid foundation then provides a natural flawless finish. There is even a handy mirror in the lid, to help with last minute touch ups.

Lacura Concealer Pens (£2.99 each), will help you say goodbye to dark circles and hello to highlighted cheeks for only £2.99. Available in three colours Savanna, Cashmere and Amber, the pen-style concealers are perfect for last-minute touch-ups.

Did you know? Aldi’s Lacura range is Leaping Bunny certified. One of the few supermarkets across UK and Ireland to guarantee its beauty ranges are not tested on animals, Aldi’s Leaping Bunny certification from Cruelty Free International confirms that no own brand Lacura beauty products are tested on animals.

The only globally recognised certification for cosmetics, personal care and household cleaning products, the Leaping Bunny is awarded when a genuine commitment to no animal testing is demonstrated by a company.

ALDI BEEFS UP IT’S MEATBALLS WITH A CHILLI CON CARNE TWIST

Chilli Con Carne has its own day…who knew?! The 28^th February officially marks National Chilli Con Carne Day and what’s even better is that Aldi has the perfect way to celebrate with their NEW Chilli Con Carne Beef Meatballs!

Aldi’s commemorative meatballs are made with British beef and blended with red kidney beans, chilli sauce, tomatoes and red jalapenos to give them just the right amount of heat. Aldi’s unique twist on a family favourite are sure to be a winner around the dinner table and at a purse friendly £1.99 for 350g, there’s even more to celebrate.

Look out for the additional chilli-inspired fresh meat offers in store this week, all available from 28th February:

Aldi’s NEW Breaded Chicken Roulette Bites (£2.49, 450g) are not for the faint hearted with their Russian roulette style mix of mild or fiery hot chicken bites. Best served with cooling sour cream or blue cheese sauce and enjoyed with fellow chilli lovers.

RUBY, RUBY, RUBY, RUBY! Aldi launch Easter egg made from NEW Ruby chocolate

Thought chocolate couldn’t get any better? Think again. After 13 years in development,[1] ruby chocolate has arrived and it’s making quite an impact in the #foodie world. Never one to miss a trend, supermarket Aldi is bringing the latest luxury in chocolate to the masses at Easter in the form of their Specially Selected Exquisite Ruby Heist (£12.99, 350g).

And there’s so much more to this shimmering gem than meets the eye…Ruby chocolate is the first new type of chocolate to be discovered since white (chocolate) over 80 years ago.[2] Recently discovered by chocolate experts, and known to be significantly more expensive than milk, dark and white chocolate, Aldi has created the Specially Selected Exquisite Ruby Heist just in time for Easter and at the everyday amazing value you would expect from the lowest priced supermarket.

Aldi’s handcrafted shimmering ruby chocolate gem is surrounded by a pyramid of 24 luxury truffles in truly exceptional flavour combinations that would not be out of place on the shelves of a chocolate atelier. Fusions such as Milk Chocolate with Kir Royal, Pecan Praline & Black Tea Gianduja, Dark Chocolate & Maldon Salted Caramel, Orange & Pomelo and White Chocolate with Raspberry Puree have been carefully created to accompany this magnificent ruby egg.

Made from the rare Ruby cocoa bean, the ruby chocolate that is created is known for its distinct pink colour and inimitable flavour. Known to be incredibly smooth, intensely fresh and fruity with sweet yet sour notes - the flavour is completely unique.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, says: “We are incredibly excited to be the first to launch a ruby cocoa bean chocolate egg in time for Easter. The Specially Selected Exquisite Ruby Heist has been created to indulge and delight chocolate lovers and we look forward to our customers trying something different this year.”

The Specially Selected Exquisite Ruby Heist will be available in stores across the UK from 28^th March.

ALDI EXTENDS TEAM GB PARTNERSHIP THROUGH TO PARIS 2024

• The extended partnership means the supermarket will now support Team GB athletes for a decade, including through to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games • Aldi ‘s Get Set to Eat Fresh healthy eating initiative is on track to reach 1.2 million UK children by 2020 Aldi has today announced that it is extending its current partnership with Team GB by a further four years to 2025. This latest agreement with the British Olympic Association will see Aldi support Team GB through a third Olympic cycle – Paris 2024, making it one of Team GB’s longest-serving partners. Since the partnership began in 2015, Aldi’s Get Set to Eat Fresh initiative has also reached over 810,000 young people (aged 5 to 14 years) in the UK. Teaching home cooking skills and the importance of eating fresh, healthy food, the programme is on track to reach 1.2 million young people by 2020. As the Official Supermarket Partner to Team GB, Aldi will also continue to fuel athletes’ training by providing fresh produce through an in-kind ‘Homegrown Heroes’ programme. In the past four years, the supermarket has already supported around 700 athletes. Familiar and new faces from Team GB will also continue to feature in Aldi campaigns for its popular Everyday Amazing and Super 6 offers, designed to provide fresh, affordable produce to consumers. To date, the partnership has seen the likes of double Olympic champions Jade Jones, Nicola Adams, Alistair Brownlee and Lizzy Yarnold feature in Aldi campaigns. Team GB ambassadors have also delighted young fans with their attendance at Get Set to Eat Fresh school visits. They, along with Jason Kenny and Beth Tweddle, have also opened almost 200 new UK stores since the Team GB partnership began. Giles Hurley, CEO of Aldi UK, said: “We’re incredibly proud to continue supporting Team GB on its road to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and, with this new agreement, all the way to Paris 2024. “Since our partnership began four years ago, Team GB athletes have been inspiring ambassadors, showing how everyone can create healthy, tasty meals from scratch using affordable fresh produce - and have fun while they’re doing it. “Their popularity has helped us engage hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK via our Get Set to Eat Fresh initiative, and appearances at our new stores have helped encourage families to include more fresh produce in their weekly shop. “Our continued partnership with Team GB reinforces our commitment to Britain, which will see us open 1,200 stores by 2025 so that even more people can have access to fresh, healthy food at affordable prices.” Since the partnership began in 2015, Team GB have enjoyed unprecedented success at both the Rio 2016 and PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Games. Bill Sweeney, CEO of the British Olympic Association, said: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Aldi through to 2025. They are a prime example of a strong relationship through commitment, collaboration, creativity and longevity. We share a common passion for high performance and excellence as evidenced by their continued business growth in the highly competitive UK grocery market. “Their dedication to programmes such as Get Set to Eat Fresh as a positive contribution to wellbeing through the promotion of fresh and healthy food is an example of how we work jointly to support societal change through athlete lifestyles. “They have significantly supported Team GB athletes through initiatives such as the Nearest and Dearest programme and their athlete food voucher scheme, as well as numerous store openings, which allow athletes to engage with and inspire the public. “We are very conscious of the need to deliver tangible benefits in today’s demanding business environment and are extremely proud to extend our partnership with Aldi. “Their commitment to Paris 2024 and beyond is a statement of confidence in what has been achieved to date and what we can achieve together in the coming years through continued innovation and the development of existing projects.” ENDS

ALDI DELIVERS RECORD CHRISTMAS SALES

• Week commencing 17th December was busiest-ever in the UK delivering 10% sales growth • Almost £1bn in sales for the month of December • Sales growth driven by exceptional demand for premium ranges Aldi has enjoyed its best-ever Christmas trading in the UK - with sales of almost £1bn for the month of December. The UK’s fastest-growing supermarket welcomed an influx of festive shoppers from more expensive food retailers throughout December. The week commencing 17th December was Aldi’s busiest-ever in the UK, with sales over 10% higher than the previous year. Aldi’s strong sales performance was driven by a surge in demand for its premium Specially Selected and Exquisite lines. Giles Hurley, CEO of Aldi UK, said: “Our Christmas range was the largest and most innovative yet and caught the imagination of our customers, who visited our stores in record numbers. “Although we saw strong growth across all key categories, the standout performance was in our Specially Selected brand where shoppers treated themselves to premium products for a fraction of the price they would have paid elsewhere for similar quality products.” “A key factor behind our record performance was the collective commitment, energy and enthusiasm of all our colleagues, and I want to thank them for all their hard work at this exceptionally busy time.” Aldi sold more than 17m bottles of wine, Champagne and Prosecco during December - equivalent to 3.2m glasses per day. It also sold nearly 50m mince pies and almost 100m sprouts. The supermarket, which opened its 800th UK store during the fourth quarter of 2018, also donated all unsold fresh food to charities on Christmas Eve amounting to almost 800,000 meals. More than 500 charities across the UK were matched with a local Aldi store and received a food donation, including fruit and vegetables, fresh meat and fish, and bread. Looking to the year ahead, Giles Hurley added: “We begin the New Year with great momentum as the UK’s fastest-growing supermarket and on the back of record Christmas sales. “This has been achieved by bringing amazing-quality groceries at the lowest prices to our customers and this remains our key focus for the year ahead.” Aldi opened over 65 new stores during 2018, increasing its total store estate to 827 at the end of the year. It remains on course to achieve its long-term target of 1,200 UK stores by the end of 2025. The supermarket’s share of the UK grocery market currently stands at an all-time high of 7.6%. ENDS 1st December 2018 – 31st December 2018. Stores closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

ALDI PREDICTS ‘PERKY’ PORT SALES THIS CHRISTMAS

Aldi set to sell half a million bottles of Port this year, as the tipple’s popularity soars
Supermarket launches its first ever White Port – a trendy alternative to G&T when mixed with tonic

Supermarket Aldi has announced it is expecting to sell half a million bottles of port by the end of the year, as the traditional tipple continues to soar in popularity amongst UK drinkers.
Shredding its reputation as an old-fashioned drink, the tipple has seen a resurgence in recent times, emerging as the UK’s fastest-growing fortified drink, compared to dwindling sherry sales – which have halved, from 22 million bottles 12 years ago to 10 million[1]. This year, the Institute of Douro Wine (IVDP) declared that exports to the UK were up 5.65% compared with 2010.
Aldi saw port sales increase by 85% YOY in 2017 and anticipates to beat these record sales this year as shoppers stock up for the Christmas season. As a result, the retailer has expanded its award-winning port range by 250%*.
Aldi will also be stocking a White Port (£7.99) for the first time ever this season. Heralded as a twist on the classic G&T when mixed with tonic, the golden wine has taken the UK by storm with sales up by 70% this year alone.[2] The tipple has proved particularly popular amongst health-conscious millennial drinkers, as it has an ABV of around 20% compared to 40% for gin.
Other bottles in Aldi’s range include Maynard's 30 Year Old Tawny Port (£34.99) and Maynard's 2014 LBV Port (£9.99), which recently won coveted Gold medals at the International Wine Challenge.
Aldi’s wine expert, Sam Caporn Mistress of Wine, comments: “Port is definitely seeing a comeback, thanks to its versatility – from fresh white styles that work with tonic, to the more traditional LBV and Tawny varieties. Aldi’s award-winning range has something for everyone this Christmas, and at such amazing value prices – I’ll certainly be stocking up!”
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, adds: “Our award-winning Maynard’s range is made exclusively for Aldi by longstanding suppliers Barao de Vilar, who make some of the world’s best port. Our UK buying team’s close working relationship with these renowned winemakers is integral to bringing such quality bottles to our store shelves, at unbeatable prices.”

How to make the perfect White Port & Tonic, according to Sam Caporn MW, Aldi’s Wine Expert:

Fill a tall tumbler with plenty of ice
Add 1-part White Port to 2 parts tonic
Gently stir
Garnish with lemon or lime – or a spring of mint, for a little twist

Fletcher’s Ruby Port (£6.39)

10 new-look limited edition Kevin & Katies to be auctioned on eBay at 5pm on Thursday 6^th December

Following the launch of its sell-out cuddly plush toy range on ‘Orange Thursday’ last month, Aldi is auctioning ten limited-edition Kevin and Katie plush toys in a bid to raise even more money for Teenage Cancer Trust.
The special editions of the nation’s favourite cuddly root vegetables don festive outfits and will be auctioned through an official eBay partnership from 5pm on Thursday 6^th December. Fans will have the chance to bid over ten days and all proceeds will go to charity.
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK comments: “Kevin and his family have built up a pretty big fan base and demand for the toys has grown as a result each year. We are thrilled to partner with eBay on this initiative and are rooting for Kevin fans across the nation to help us raise money for this fantastic cause. This will help take us one step closer to reaching our £5million fundraising target for Teenage Cancer Trust , to help ensure that no young person faces cancer alone.”
The auction is expected to be of huge interest, as eBay reveals searches for Aldi’s must-have plush toys on the online auction house took place once every 1.5 seconds the day the toys first appeared in stores. What’s more, on Sunday 25^th November, ‘Kevin the Carrot’ was the second most searched term on the entire website.
Rob Hattrell, Vice President of eBay UK said: “We are really proud that eBay for Charity has helped raise over £350,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust since 2011. Partnering with Aldi to sell official Kevin the Carrot limited edition toys is a fantastic way to raise even more for this vital cause, and I’d urge as many Kevin fans as possible to take part in Thursday’s auction.”

OVER HALF FACE “TURKEY TRAUMAS” THIS CHRISTMAS Aldi is encouraging the nation to beat their fears and take part in a Turkey Trial on 4th December

In the run up to Christmas, 58% of UK adults planning to cook turkey for Christmas have fears about the meat
Yet 82% of the nation that celebrate Christmas have never practiced cooking the Christmas meal in advance
Top three turkey traumas were revealed as drying out the turkey, serving raw poultry or not having enough space to cook everything
Aldi will be providing live cooking advice from a turkey expert on Twitter on 4^thDecember, aka the Turkey Trial Day

With only 23 days until Christmas, new research by supermarket Aldi reveals that over half of UK adults who are celebrating Christmas and plan to cook turkey (58%) have worries about the meat. New research carried out by YouGov has revealed the top “turkey traumas” they have for the big day are:

Drying out the meat topped the list of worries (25%)
Fears of serving a raw turkey (21%) AND not having enough space in the oven to cook everything (21%)

4. Not knowing when the turkey is cooked (12%) took fourth place
5. Not knowing how long to cook the turkey for (10%) AND not defrosting the turkey in time (10%) shared the fifth place

Despite being the most highly anticipated dinner of the year, a HUGE 82% of the nation who celebrate Christmas admitted they have never practiced cooking the Christmas meal in advance. To help the big day run smoothly, Aldi is urging the nation to take part in a Turkey Trial Day on Tuesday 4^th December, where nervous chefs can practice cooking the turkey and all the trimmings exactly 3 weeks before the big day*. They can also join the Twitter party hosted by Aldi and ask for advice from Aldi’s turkey expert by tagging @AldiUK and using #TurkeyTuesday.

Will and Mick Binder, the supplier of Aldi’s Specially Selected Exquisite Turkey, says: “Cooking the turkey is easy, especially if you have been practicing. If you’re after some additional expert advice, follow my top tips to ensure your turkey is as succulent and tasty as possible:

Take the bird out of the fridge at least 2 hours prior to cooking. If it’s too cold going into hot oven, it will affect the texture and increase cooking time

Use the giblets for your gravy! I place them around the bird in the roasting tin
Start cooking the bird breast side down – that way the juices percolate into the breast. Turn the bird half way through to ensure the skin is nice and crispy
Half way through the cooking, pierce the thigh right down through to the bottom. This will release more lovely juices for cooking the bird in and will also allow the heat to get in to that tricky area easily
Allow your cooked bird to rest and don’t cover it as it will need to release its heat. Leave it for at least 30 minutes, so factor this into your preparation timings.”

With Aldi’s range of fresh, free range turkeys hitting stores from 19^th December, customers can pick up an Aldi Oakhurst frozen turkey (£9.99, 2.8-4kg) for their practice run and join the conversation @ALDIUK for tips and advice. Aldi’s deliciously fresh parsnips, carrots and potatoes are also available at amazing prices all year round, which will accompany the meat perfectly.

When it’s time to enjoy the masterpiece (or if things get a little heated in the kitchen!), a glass of Jean Bouchard Chablis, or A.O.C. Lirac for those who prefer red, will be the perfect wine to match with the turkey.

*Turkey Trial Day is taking place on Tuesday 4^th December, exactly 3 weeks before Christmas day, as Google searches for Christmas planning (2017) saw a peak exactly 3 weeks before Christmas last year, with searches for turkey rapidly increasing across December - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2017-12-01 2017-12-30&geo=GB&q=Christmas planning

Top five turkey traumas identified by supermarket Aldi:

Drying out the meat when cooking (25%)
Joint second place: Not having enough space in the oven to cook all the other elements of the Christmas meal (21%) AND undercooking the turkey (21%)

4. Not knowing then the turkey is cooked (12%)
5. Joint fifth place: Not knowing how long to cook the turkey for according to its weight (10%) AND not defrosting the turkey in time for when it needs to be cooked (10%)

This research was commissioned by Aldi and carried out by YouGov. Total sample size was 2061 adults, of which 651 are celebrating Christmas and plan to cook turkey. Fieldwork was undertaken between 5th - 8th October 2018. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all UK adults (aged 18+).

Super sales see Aldi selling coconut oil all year round

Aldi becomes the first discount supermarket to permanently offer Coconut Oil to its customers
Own-label Coco Loco Coconut Oil will cost up to 40% less than similar products
The supermarket sold 60,000 units in just one week
Permanently on Aldi’s shelves from 8th February 2016

Aldi has announced that it is to become the first discounter to sell coconut oil permanently, due to its huge popularity with customers.

The supermarket’s Coco Loco Coconut Oil sold out within days of going on sale when it was first introduced to customers as a Specialbuy in September 2015.

After selling 60,000 units sold in just one week, Aldi increased the stock levels by 98 per cent when Coco Loco was introduced again in January 2016, in order to meet customer demand.

Sales of coconut oil have more than tripled nationally in the past year, from £4.4m to £14m, according to market researcher Kantar World Panel (52 weeks ending 13th September 2015). Favoured by A-list celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Miranda Kerr, coconut oil is famed for its versatility. It can be used for healthier frying, mixing in salads as a dressing, in smoothies and even as a beauty treatment.

In response to growing customer demand in the UK, Coco Loco Coconut Oil, made from organic, 100% raw pressed coconut oil will be available in all Aldi stores from 8th February 2016 and the discounter has promised to secure the price at just £2.99 for 300ml.

The low price means it will cost up to 40 per cent less than similar coconut oils sold at supermarkets and health food shops. In contrast, Asda is selling The Groovy Food Company Organic Virgin Coconut Oil at £4.00 for 283ml, with the same product also being sold at Tesco for a more costly £5.99.

Health-food specialist Holland & Barrett’s Perfectly Pure Coconut Oil is priced at £15.49 for 453g, offering customers a saving of over £2.40 per 100ml when they choose to shop at Aldi.

Tony Baines, Joint Managing Director of Corporate Buying at Aldi, said: “Coco Loco Coconut Oil has proven to be hugely popular with our customers. Its unbeatable combination of high quality and great value makes it extremely attractive to shoppers.”

“By making Coco Loco Coconut Oil part of our core all year round range, we’re offering our shoppers another reason to make healthy choices at affordable prices both in the kitchen and in their beauty regimes.”

Aldi begins selling online in the UK

New website www.aldi.co.uk selling award-winning wines by the case
Over 90 wines available online including rosé, sparkling and premium ranges
1 in every 13 bottles of wine purchased in the UK is currently bought in an Aldi store
Varieties of Aldi’s premium Lot Series now available exclusively online
Aldi is investing £35m to establish online platform

Aldi today (19/01) launches its online shopping service, offering an extensive range of award-winning wines by the case.

More than 90 different wines are available at www.aldi.co.uk. These include best sellers from the existing in-store range, and a number of varieties from Aldi’s premium Lot Series, which can only be bought online.

Aldi’s commitment to selling wines of outstanding quality at affordable prices has proven popular with UK consumers.

1 in every 13 bottles of wine purchased in the UK is currently bought in an Aldi store, with Champagne sales even higher at a staggering 1 in every 12 bottles. In addition, more than 10,000 bottles of wine from the retailer’s Exquisite Collection are sold per week, with year on year sales up 33 per cent between 2014 and 2015.

The online launch is part of the retailer’s long-term strategy to make Aldi’s unique combination of award winning quality at everyday low prices available to as many people as possible, particularly those who are not located near a store.

Aldi is investing £35m to establish its eCommerce operation and will expand the service in Q2 to include non-food Specialbuys such as premium cycling wear, electrical items, camping equipment, clothing, gardening and DIY tools.

Matthew Barnes, CEO of Aldi UK, said: “We’re applying our well established Aldi principles of simplicity and efficiency to our new online operation. All of the wines available in our stores are being sold alongside a limited number of online exclusives.

“In 2015, Aldi was named Multiple Wine Retailer of the Year and one in every 13 bottles of wine purchased in the UK was bought from an Aldi store. Starting with wines is a logical first step for us. It’s a stand-out category for Aldi and often the entry point for customers who haven’t shopped with us before.

“We regularly receive feedback from customers who are astonished by the outstanding quality of our wines and so we’re particularly keen to expand their availability into new parts of the country where we don’t currently have physical stores. Selling online is an important step forward for our business.”

Aldi currently operates over 630 UK stores and plans to open a further 83 this year. The retailer is on course to reach 1,000 stores by 2022.

Aldi’s online service is available to consumers throughout the UK, with the exception of Northern Ireland.

Free delivery will apply for all orders over £50. For orders under £50, a standard delivery charge of £3.00 is applied. Customers can also collect their orders from over 5,500 Collect+ locations.
