Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
So if you want to avoid disappointment, it's best to check out the new buys now - because once they're gone, they're gone.
It is important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for too.

Lizzie Deignan's farewell tour off to tricky start on Yorkshire home roads

There was personal celebration but professional frustration for Lizzie Deignan on the opening day of her final Tour of Britain when her Lidl-Trek team failed to stop the Mauritian national champion, Kim Le Court, taking the first stage win and overall race lead in Redcar. Deignan's valedictory race on British roads began with a fast 85.6km opening stage, from Dalby Forest to the beachfront in Redcar, and took in some of her longstanding training roads within an hour or so of her home in Otley, West Yorkshire. But although her team had strength in depth in the 20-rider pursuit of the day's breakaway, they proved unable to close down Le Court and Kristen Faulkner, the Olympic champion, who stayed clear to contest the seaside finish. 'We had a clear plan and executed it exactly as we wanted,' said Le Court, riding for the AG Insurance-Soudal team. 'I'm really happy that the legs reacted and I was able to pull it off for the team. We'll see how long I can keep the jersey for. Friday is a stage that suits me a bit more, so I'm going in with a bit more confidence than today.' Deignan was prominent throughout the stage, but whenLe Court, winner of this year's Liège-Bastogne-Liège, broke clear on Langburn's Bank, the steepest gradient of the second classified climb, Deignan's Lidl-Trek team was distanced. Le Court's powerful acceleration on the 16% sections at the base of the climb proved too much for her rivals, including Deignan's teammate, the Paris 2024 silver medallist Anna Henderson, who tried to give chase but was unable to follow the move. Only Faulkner, of EF Education-Oatly, was able to close the gap and the pair, who joined forces on the descent, then worked together to build a half-minute lead on their pursuers during the undulating run into Redcar. Even though Deignan's team had four of their five riders in the chasing group, and were aided both by Cat Ferguson's Movistar team and the French FDJ-Suez team, they were unable to close down the half-minute advantage. But Faulkner almost came unstuck on a right-hand bend in the closing kilometres, misjudging her speed and skidding to a halt against a traffic island. Sportingly, Le Court, knowing that their break had a better chance of success if the pair stayed together, waited for the American. While Lorena Wiebes, a past stage winner, took third in the sprint, Ferguson, making her debut in the race, was the first British finisher on the stage, finishing fifth. The junior world road race champion is now sixth overall, 18 seconds adrift of Le Court. Ferguson, who also took the lead in the best young rider classification, admitted she had expected there to be a regrouping in the final kilometres. 'I thought it would definitely come down to a sprint,' the 19-year-old said, 'so for the two to stay away was a surprise. They were too strong, so credit to them for staying away.' By her own admission Deignan's days as an overall contender are probably gone, but Skipton-born Ferguson, seen as her natural heir, is well-placed to make an impact as the race goes on. 'I've not thought about my strategy yet,' she said, 'but I'm just going to take it day by day and approach each day like we did today, like a real team.' Friday's second stage of the four-day race takes the peloton from Hartlepool to Saltburn-by-the-sea and finishes with the infamous hairpins of Saltburn Bank, the venue for recent National Championships. The steep climb to the finish is well-known to British riders in the peloton and was pivotal to the outcome of the women's road race in 2023 and 2024, both of which were won by Pfeiffer Georgi, of the Picnic PostNL team.

‘Taking it too far' fume shoppers as they hit out at ‘Mrs Hinch mums' over Aldi toys – but not everyone agrees

Some people have defended the toys GREY MATTER 'Taking it too far' fume shoppers as they hit out at 'Mrs Hinch mums' over Aldi toys – but not everyone agrees Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT was the homeware trend that everyone seemed to fall in love with. Velvet sofas, 'Live laugh love' signs and grey EVERYWHERE - with many people citing cleaning guru Mrs Hinch as their home decor inspiration. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 An Aldi middle aisle buy has left shoppers divided Credit: Alamy 2 People have claimed the grey toys are 'utterly depressing' But shoppers have blasted the trend for going "too far" after spotting "super depressing" grey toys in Aldi. The 100-pack of ball pool balls is currently priced at £4.99 in the bargain supermarket, and is available in grey or pink. After seeing the middle aisle buy in her local store, one woman fumed: "Unless babies/toddlers are colour blind, I'm not sure why you'd make toys colourless? "Taking the grey aesthetic too far. Do toys clash with your living room scheme? Plain weird." Her post on the BARGAIN LOVERS - Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More Facebook group, which boasts 841,000 members, quickly racked up a flurry of comments. Many people appeared disappointed by the "utterly depressing" toys due to their lack of colour and hit out at parents for prioritising their interior aesthetic over colourful buys for the kids. One said: "My living room is black, white and grey, but all my girls toys are ALWAYS going to be colourful. It's not fair to deprive a baby of colours for your own aesthetic." "You buy toys for kids. I don't know many kids who'd prefer these boring balls", chimed in a second. A third fumed: "Very bland, like a lot of beige nurseries." A fourth claimed: "So many triggered beige baby mums. By the time they're old enough to be using a ball put properly they can see colour just fine, it's super depressing." Parents race to Lidl for middle aisle bargains including 2 in 1 sandpit for £29 "Yep, made totally to match decor not for child enrichment", added a fifth. Meanwhile a sixth echoed: "Agreed. Couldn't live in a grey and silver house. Find it utterly depressing." Other social media users, however, have defended the grey toys and insisted their colour doesn't ruin the fun. "Really not sure why it matters, kids will still play in amongst them no matter the colour", insisted one. A second wrote: "It's really not that deep, and a plastic ball is a plastic ball." A third suggested: "Too much colour can be overwhelming and overstimulating. Probably the same reason so many people choose the neutral tones to decorate also." Someone else admitted: "I'm not going to lie. I'm the parent that has bought this in the past because it goes with my living room. Not really ashamed of it either." "Maybe just me, but I'm sorry if it don't match my living room I ain't buying it", agreed a fifth. And a sixth echoed: "I got grey to match my house. Looked gorgeous in our home and it mattered to me that it looked nice because that's who I am. Let people do what they like without judgement maybe?"
