Aldi reveals best time to shop this summer and saving tips
Aldi has revealed the best times to shop at its stores this summer and it shared some tips for saving money while you shop.
According to in-store data, Aldi's quietest shopping times during the summer holidays are early mornings between 8am and 10am, late afternoons from 4pm to 5pm and evenings between 8pm and 10pm.
If you're looking to save money this summer, Aldi has a Summer Support Scheme where parents can win £50 vouchers throughout August. The scheme also gave parents a chance to win the voucher in July.
Every day one family can win a £50 voucher and entering is simple – you'll need to email your name and address to SummerSupportScheme@aldi.co.uk.
If you're welcoming a new baby to your family, you can apply for the Mamia New Parent Fund.

You'll need to send a receipt of your latest Mamia nappy purchase to mamiaparentfund@aldi.co.uk for a chance to win a £100 voucher.
Every two weeks, Aldi offers six fruit or veg items at extra-low costs and encourages shoppers to stock up and freeze any suitable items they won't eat straightaway.
If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, Aldi's fresh guarantee lets you return it with your receipt for a full refund.
Bakery, meat, and deli items nearing their best-before dates often receive markdowns at Aldi, with discounts of up to 75%.
While specific times can vary, focusing your search towards closing time is generally a good idea.
Aldi recently announced that its store workers are set for a pay rise.

Students can get ‘first-class' Samsung phone and Chromebook from Tesco Mobile for £20p/m – here's how
Summer's nearly done, and let's be honest, a lot of students will be thinking about getting back to uni or college. Tesco Mobile is offering a brilliant bundle deal that combines a Chromebook and Samsung's budget-friendly A16 handset - with the lowest monthly price starting at just £19.99 with a Clubcard. Samsung Galaxy A16 with Chromebook Go, from £23.99p/m (£19.99p/m with Clubcard) This is an absolute gem of a deal for students looking for some low-cost tech for their studies ahead of their return to colleges and universities. Tesco Mobile has rolled out a deal that covers all the bases, without a fuss. You get a Samsung Galaxy A16 smartphone and a Chromebook Go laptop, all on one simple, low-cost contract. Better yet, there are big savings for shoppers with a Tesco Clubcard. If you're signed up to the supermarket's loyalty scheme, the 3GB data plan drops to £19.99 per month (it's typically £23.99 per month). The 12GB plan, meanwhile, is a just £22.99 a month (usually £28.99 per month). The Samsung Galaxy A16 is one of the brand's most affordable handsets. Let's be clear: it doesn't have all the AI-powered bells and whistles of a flagship like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. But despite being a budget device, it's still got the pedigree of the UK's top-selling Android brand, and has an impressive-looking range of features. It comes with a big, crisp 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen. That's the sort of size you generally expect from 'max' smartphones - and to be fair, the aforementioned Galaxy S25 Ultra is only slightly larger at 6.9 inches. The camera on the back of the A16 is eye-catching for an entry-level device, with a 50MP main sensor that should snap some decent photos. Up front, there's a solid 13MP camera for all your video calls with the family or for getting that perfect selfie. And let's talk about the battery, because this thing is an absolute beast - it's a huge 5,000mAh unit that will keep you going all day long. (That's an interesting aspect of cheap phones, by the way: they tend to have great stamina.) A when you do need to charge it up, the fast charging gets you back in the game in no time. Interestingly, the SIM-free Galaxy A16 is currently sold out on Amazon, where it has an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 and largely positive reviews. One shopper says: 'Amazing phone, highly recommended... Love, love, love!' Another customer talks about its 'first-class service.' The Chromebook Go is a top bit of kit for a student on the move. It weighs next to nothing at 1.45kg, so you can just chuck it in your bag without even noticing it's there. It runs on Chrome OS and fires up in seconds, perfect for knocking out essays or doing research without any faffing about. The screen even folds right back, which is handy for showing your mates something you're working on. With a battery that goes the distance for up to 12 hours, you'll be able to work all day without worrying about power. As Tesco points out on its website, if you need wi-fi on the Chromebook, you can use the Samsung A16 to create a hotspot, making them excellent partners. So basically, you've got a single, simple way to get a phone and a laptop on one bill. The bundle comes with a standard 24-month manufacturer's warranty from Samsung in the UK. Honestly, for anyone heading off to studies in the near future, this deal's a no-brainer. Earlier this week, tech writer Tom Tyers spotted a .

Aldi opens one of its biggest stores in Wales
One of the biggest Aldi stores in Wales has opened its doors. Aldi says it is opening an average of one new supermarket a week for the rest of 2025 as it ramps up its expansion programme. The openings form part of a £650 investment into its store estate this year. This will also see 35 of its supermarkets undergo refurbishments before the end of the year. The expansion push saw the brand open up a new supermarket on Deeside this week, with Team GB diving hero Lois Toulson cutting the ribbon. The Airfields store is 21,000 sq ft and will be run by Store Manager Spencer Kearney, along with a team of 27 staff. Jonathan Neale, Aldi UK managing director of national real estate, said: 'At Aldi, our goal is to make sure people across the UK have access to affordable, high-quality food, and opening new stores is key to making that happen. We're now opening an average of one new store a week for the rest of 2025, showing just how ambitious our plans are to build a store network that will help us reach millions of new customers." Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now Store Manager Spencer Kearney said: 'It was lovely to welcome our new customers into store, and I look forward to meeting more of the community in the coming weeks. I'm also thrilled that we've been able to support a local primary school through our partnership with Team GB.' Team GB star Lois Toulson said: 'I've had a fantastic time opening the new Aldi this morning. It was an honour to officially open the store and welcome customers inside for the first time." The new Aldi store offers large chillers and freezers dedicated to fresh, Welsh meat products, a 'Food to Go' section at the front of the store, and a section full of health and beauty products. Additionally, the new Aldi store is calling on local charities and food banks in Deeside to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to charitable organisations in the local community. Local charities that register will be able to collect surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, seven days a week. Any charities in the area that would like to partner up with the new Aldi store should email aldi@ The new store on Welsh Road open is open 8am to 10pm from Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
