When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
Whether you're tossing and turning trying to sleep at night or constantly fanning yourself while watching TV, this buy may be for you.
For reduced items - when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates."
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time.
Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible.

Man jets off to exotic destinations for just 24 HOURS... flying across the globe and back in one day
A day trip to Egypt? Lunch in Ireland? A morning walk in Rome? Kevin Droniak has experienced it all and gotten home in time for supper. The 28-year-old travel influencer has jetted off on 14 'day-trips' throughout 2025, flying from his home in New York City to an exotic destination across the globe and returning home within 24 hours. He books red-eye flights to various countries, explores them for one day, and then heads back home that evening. He's been documenting it all on his TikTok and Instagram, teaching his 300,000 followers how to save time and money while traveling the world. 'I weigh out the activities in that location and how much am I going to have to spend on the ground,' he dished. He's taken day trips to Paris, France, Rome, Italy, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, and even Iceland. He breaks down the cost in his videos. Trips range from $200-$1,000, including food, activities, and transportation, and most average around $500. One of his most expensive day trips was an $800 round-trip to Cairo, Egypt, but he said it was totally worth it as he couldn't pass up spending a day at the pyramids. But his 24-hour trip to Ireland, which ended up costing him almost $900 thanks to a flat tire that ate up his time, may not have been worth the price tag. Still, 'It's more fun to have a flat tire in Ireland than just being bored at home,' he said. His cheapest day trip cost him about $120 - a round-trip flight to Puerto Rico allowed him to spend the day at the beach and make it back to sleep in his bed that night. Finding affordable flights is a challenge, especially when the round trip takes place within one day, so Droniak monitors Expedia and Google Flights ahead of his trips. He likes to use the 'explore' or 'map' features to see which destinations are cheapest on days he's hoping to travel. If an airline ticket is below the average cost, he considers the journey worth it. 'I think that's another essential thing if you're trying to find a cheap flight, is being flexible with your dates,' he explained. 'I probably book my trips between two weeks and a month in advance.' While embarking on a day trip, he recommended just pick one or two things to do, and don't expect yourself to see the whole city in one day. 'When you land, you wanna jam everything in, but I try not to have too much planned since the time is fleeting,' he said. 'I believe that you can experience a place on the ground for just a day because there's nowhere else to go. You don't have a hotel. There's no time to just sit and scroll on your phone.' To save money, he finds cheap or even free activities. He walks, takes public transportation, and eats cost-efficient meals. Droniak started day-tripping not only to see the world, but to embrace solo-travel. 'I was tired of waiting around for people to go on trips with me,' he said. 'I think day-tripping is great because you get a little taste of solo traveling, there's not much of a risk… It's less commitment and you're able to learn about yourself.' But Droniak said day trips are not a vacation - they're not supposed to be relaxing, and often, they're exhausting. 'It's like a race with time,' he joked. Getting as much sleep as possible on the plane is crucial. On one of his first trips, he watched movies instead of resting, and it turned out to be a bitter mistake. 'You don't want to be overly tired walking around the next day. You need energy, so just make sure you're able to get some shut-eye on the plane there,' he recommended. Despite the potential for exhaustion, Droniak pointed out that jet lag is never an issue. 'You don't have enough time there to acclimate to that time zone,' he dished. He hopes to spend more time in these bucket list locations, but Droniak loves the rush of a short trip. And his followers do too. 'Right now I'm just getting such a thrill out of popping around and seeing new places in a short amount of time,' he said. In the end, he encouraged aspiring day-trippers to be flexible and adventurous like him. 'It's just unpredictable, [you] have to be down for anything,' he concluded.

Rail campaigners issue warning over potential 5.5% fares rise
England's train fares could face a potential 5.5% increase next year, following a forecast of July's Retail Prices Index (RPI) reaching 4.5%. Public transport groups have condemned the prospective rise as "outrageous", arguing it would deter passengers and is unjustified if above inflation. Pressure groups like Railfuture and Campaign for Better Transport advocate for a fare freeze, particularly with the impending nationalisation of train operators under Great British Railways. They suggest that any efficiencies gained from a more integrated railway system should benefit passengers directly, rather than being absorbed by the Treasury. The Department for Transport has yet to confirm next year's regulated fare cap, stating that decisions will be announced later this year, aiming to balance affordability for both passengers and taxpayers. Rail campaigners say potential 5.5% fares rise would be 'ripping off' passengers

Christine McGuinness reveals her chiselled abs in barely-there bikini as she admits it's 'back to reality' after family holiday with her ex husband Paddy and their children
Christine McGuinness revealed her chiselled abs in a barely-there bikini as she told her fans it was 'back to reality' after sharing her sexy holiday snaps. The doting mum-of-three has been soaking up the sun with her ex husband Paddy McGuinness, their twins Leo and Penelope, and daughter Felicity, as well as her mother. The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 37, took to her Instagram on Sunday clearly feeling a case of the holiday blues, telling her fans she was back on home turf. In the sizzling slew of snaps, Christine wore a plunging black bikini which left little to the imagination. She posed poolside in the skimpy swimwear, showcasing her gym-honed frame. Model Christine appeared in good spirits as she lapped up the shining sun rays. She also showed off her incredibly toned back muscles in a snap which saw her getting out of the water. The TV personality then made her way down to the beach, grinning from ear to ear as she carried a playful pink doughnut-shaped rubber ring. Christine playfully shared that despite the fact she posted some holiday pics, her day was looking quite different. She wrote: 'Feels like the sunshine was forever ago already! Back to reality with… 3 suitcases of washing, the big shop, 3 exhausted but very happy children.' 'Now I'm low-key searching for a little adults-only holiday… Deserved, right?' Christine's ex Paddy showcased his ripped physique as he celebrated his 52nd birthday during the lavish family holiday this week. Taking to Instagram on Friday, the comedian and presenter flaunted his chiseled abs as he posed shirtless in the mirror for a selfie in his lavish hotel in Mallorca. The father of three appeared elated as he celebrated the special day alongside his children sharing snaps with his cake and presents. Paddy holidayed with his ex wife Christine as they posed alongside airport staff ahead of the trip in another snap. Christine and Paddy announced their split in 2022 but have continued to co-parent and live together for the sake of their three children, who are all autistic. Alongside his post, he penned: 'Just got back from a glorious five days in the sunshine. My kids made birthday gifts, we had lots of lovely food, drink and a tan that would make @ proud! 'Met some wonderful families at @zafirohotels and had a belting, relaxed time. Big shout out to the mighty @manairportuk in particular Samantha Richardson and Jane McBride. 'Two wonderful ladies who made a last minute check in stress free. They put all our kids at ease. ❤️ 'The lanyard scheme worked both at Manchester and Palma coming back. ✈️ Back home now, chippy tea and an early night for everyone!!!' It comes after Celebs Go Dating scenes aired on Monday night showing clear signs that Christine wanted to leave the programme. The TV personality, who announced she had quit the show in May, appeared visibly uncomfortable during the mixer when the celebs were tasked to pick someone to take to Ibiza in the hope they would get closer. But all seemed too much for Christine as she insisted on 'taking a minute' outside with her fellow co-star Kerry Katona. She panicked: 'I need a minute, I can go for a minute can't I? I don't want to just take someone away. 'How can I go abroad with someone I've just met? This is just not normal.' When it was announced she would appear on the show, it was revealed that Christine would be up for dating both men and women on the show. Christine revealed it felt 'too soon' for her to date so publicly following her divorce from ex-husband Paddy. She had already flown to Ibiza to begin filming the series with the rest of the cast but told fans she was 'returning home to her family' after having a change of heart. Revealing the news on Instagram, she said: 'I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention is brings is just too soon for me.'
