HOW NEW PARENTS CAN SAVE ALMOST £250 THANKS TO ALDI 

• Aldi shoppers can save £228 a year on baby essentials 
• Two in five parents are choosing Aldi’s Mamia nappies making it the largest retailer own brand in the market¹ 
• The supermarket has also seen sales of Mamia nappies rise by 21% YoY 

With household costs rising, new data reveals that parents are increasingly looking for more affordable options when it comes to nappies, as Aldi sees a 21% uplift in sales YoY.  

According to Aldi, which was voted Supermarket of the Year 2022 at the Loved by Parents Awards last month, parents can save nearly £250 in their bundle of joy’s first year by switching to baby and toddler brand, Mamia.  

The news coincides with data showing that two in five parents (19%) are now choosing to buy Aldi’s award-winning Mamia range, making it the largest UK retailer for own brand nappies. 

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, says: “Becoming a parent can be both exciting and scary, even when there isn’t a cost of living crisis. Research shows that in their first year, babies will go through around 3,000 nappies – that’s roughly eight every day – which soon adds up.  

“At Aldi, we’re focused on helping shoppers make real savings – and they needn’t compromise on quality, especially when it comes to necessities like nappies and baby food for the littlest family members. 

“Parents can save a huge £244 over the first 12 months just by switching to Mamia nappies, which can make a real difference.”  

The £244 saving over the first 12 months is calculated based on the below, when compared to leading brand, Pampers:
