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.
Penny pinchers will also be delighted to discover that there's a whole host of products in the range, for less than £5.
Kids will be over the moon with the range of bouncy balls, featuring characters such as Iron Man and Captain Hulk, for just £1.99.
And the £3.99 Hopper Balls, featuring Barbie and Paw Patrol designs are sure to provide hours of entertainment.
The bargain buys are part of Lidl's Middle Aisle offerings, which land in stores every Thursday and Sunday.
The special offers can include anything from beauty dupes, to handy garden gadgets.
However, Middle Aisle products are only available whilst stocks last, so if you're keen, you better snap yours up quick.

Aldi gives workers ANOTHER pay rise as discount retailer hikes its minimum wage to £13-an-hour

Aldi store workers are set for another pay rise after the budget supermarket announced it was hiking its minimum wage to £13 an hour from September. The grocery chain, which has held the crown of Britain's best paying supermarket employer, claims to be the first to introduce the new minimum rate. Store assistants will be paid at least £13 an hour nationwide from September 1 - up from a current £12.75. This rises to £14.33 an hour for workers within the M25 to counter the additional costs associated with living in the capital. Based on the length of service, Aldi store assistants could see their pay jump to £13.93 nationally, and to £14.64 within the M25. Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: 'Our people are the driving force behind our success across the UK. 'This latest investment in pay is a reflection of their hard work and the incredible contribution they make every single day. 'We're proud to remain the UK's highest-paying supermarket and will continue to support our colleagues in every way we can.' It comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves raised the the UK national minimum wage to £12.21 an hour in April for workers over the age of 21. However, Aldi workers also received a pay increase in January when the supermarket raised its minimum hourly rate to £12.71, up from the previous £12.40. The move put its staff on better pay than those working at their competitors, including upmarket shops like Waitrose and M&S. Other supermarkets have raised their bottom rates for thousands of shop workers in recent months to bring it above the national minimum. Tesco store workers are set to benefit from minimum hourly rates rising to £12.64 an hour from the end of August, having risen to £12.45 from March 30. For Sainsbury's and Argos workers, the national minimum hourly rate will rise to £12.60 in August, having increased to £12 in March. Meanwhile Waitrose workers are paid a minimum of £12.40 an hour and staff at M&S are paid at least £12.60 an hour. Rival German discounter Lidl, earlier this year, increased hourly pay for thousands of workers to £12.75 an hour across the UK. The wage increase was part of a near-£15 million investment into pay by Lidl, who employ more than 35,000 people across the UK. Chief People Officer at Lidl, said: 'We're proud to offer leading pay rates in the sector, while fostering a culture of opportunity and inclusion that helps our teams thrive. 'As we continue to grow, investing in our people remains at the heart of what we do.' Discounters like Aldi and Lidl can likely afford the pay rises because they spend very little on anything else. They undercut rivals by adopting fiercely stringent business practices - from deploying stock onto the floor on its pallets through to minimising the amount spent on advertising. Their brutal efficiency, and dependency on an almost exclusive range of own-name products, means prices are kept low compared to rivals. But this can also land discounters in trouble - particularly when they sail too close to the wind when creating their own brands 'inspired' by the real deal.

Before teeing off at Trump International, the US President met with John Swinney for a private one-to-one. It was the first time the pair have met since they clashed in November last year when the SNP leader called on US voters to back his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in the US Presidential election - leading his UK-based business to slam the endorsement as an 'insult'. The President opened the 'new course' at Trump International in Menie, just north of Aberdeen, at a 'grand opening' ceremony shortly before 11am. He thanked his son Eric, who he said had "worked so hard" on creating the New Course at the resort. Trump International's 'new course' is the second at the venue since the newly named 'old course' opened in 2012. The new 18 holes measures 7,589 yards - with Trump International now self-styled as the 'greatest 36 holes in golf'. Mr Trump made a short speech on the first tee of the course before playing a round. It comes after Mr Trump yesterday hosted an 80-minute televised press conference with the Prime Minister after meeting with Sir Keir Starmer at his other golf course at Turnberry, Ayrshire. In it, he blasted wind power - slamming wind turbines as 'ugly monsters' - and urged more drilling in the North Sea. Furious Trump says he'll CUT Putin's 50-day peace deadline and says he's 'disappointed' after latest ruthless Kyiv blitz And he poured cold water on the possibility of a second independence referendum within the next '50 or 75 years'. He also spoke of his love for Scotland due to his late mother's birthplace being in the Isle of Lewis and said: 'My mother loved Scotland. This is a part of the world I want to see thrive.' The second course at Trump International is expected to be dedicated to the president's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born on the Isle of Lewis.
