Parents’ weekly food shops rise by an average of £42 when their teenagers hit a growth spurt.
A poll of 1,000 parents and guardians with children aged 13-18 found 55 per cent have seen them go through a growth spurt in the past year, with 81 per cent of these saying their overall grocery bill has increased as a result.
In fact, more than a quarter (26 per cent) find themselves making at least two extra trips to the shops each week on top of their usual food run.
Aldi is bringing its successful Supermarket Sweep fundraiser to England and Wales for the first time, giving shoppers the chance to win a five-minute trolley dash while raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Ten winners will be selected to take part in the challenge at their local Aldi store, racing against the clock to fill their trolley with Aldi products in just five minutes.
