New scheme launched by Aldi to help parents in summer holidays
The cost of looking after children during the six-week school summer break is an added pressure on families
Families will be able to use the vouchers to stock up on whatever they need
A new voucher support scheme to help families with the added costs of looking after children during the school holidays has been launched by Aldi. Families can apply to its Summer Support Scheme, which will see vouchers given away for Aldi shoppers to spend in stores every day over the six-week school holiday in July and August.
Families will be able to use the vouchers to stock up on whatever they need in the shop, from healthy snacks and cupboard essentials to toys and garden activities from the Specialbuy aisle.
To apply for the scheme, submit your name and email address to SummerSupportScheme@aldi.co.uk, with one family chosen at random every day of July and August to receive a £50 voucher to redeem in store.
'The school holidays can put extra pressure on finances, especially when it comes to keeping children fed, entertained and active during the six-week break", Julie Ashfield from Aldi said. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here
'As the UK's cheapest supermarket, we don't believe in paying a premium for healthy, quality food and we'll always do what we can to support parents in making their money go further.'

Aldi own-brand Aperini is less than half the price of Aperol
The aperitif was awarded gold at the World Liqueur Awards, and at £6.99 for 70cl is 60% cheaper than Aperol. The supermarket is also celebrating English Wine Week with the launch of its Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pét-Nat, a premium sparkling wine crafted from English grapes. Available in stores from today, at £12.99 a bottle, this exclusive boutique-style wine offers shoppers a unique opportunity to enjoy premium English winemaking. Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pét-Nat is made in collaboration with London Cru, London's first urban winery. Known for supplying wines to some of London's most prestigious hotels and restaurants such as Raffles and The Dorchester Collection, London Cru brings its expertise to Aldi shelves. Crafted from a blend of Reichensteiner, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Bacchus, this sparkling wine delivers bright apple notes, zesty citrus flavours and fine bubbles. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, meaning it's undergone minimal processing.

The legendary Dairy Milk Caramel Chocolate Brownies, once thought gone for good, have been spotted back on shelves – this time nestled in Aldi's frozen aisle. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 An shopper spotted the Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Chocolate Brownie at Aldi Credit: Facebook Originally launched back in 2021 as a limited-edition exclusive with Iceland, the gooey golden brownies were an instant hit, sparking an online frenzy and countless freezer raids. But when they mysteriously vanished, shoppers were left devastated. One choc-lover wailed on Facebook: 'Has anyone noticed the Cadbury Caramel brownies are no longer available?' Another was ready to shed tears: 'If they've discontinued these I'll cry.' But now, after a long three-year wait, hope is sweetly restored. An eagle-eyed shopper spotted the brownies chilling in Aldi's frozen section and quickly took to Facebook to share the news. The snap – showing the iconic purple packaging sent fans into overdrive. Comments came pouring in. One user said: 'Look what's back'. Whilst another added: 'Over the moon woohoo'. The gooey treat features soft caramel wrapped in rich Dairy Milk brownie. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon The Sun has contacted Cadbury to confirm whether the brownies will remain an Aldi exclusive, but for now, it seems they have only been sighted in Aldi stores.

The limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake has hit the bargain retailer, and fans are already scrambling to get their hands on it. It comes just days after Cadbury unveiled its new Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars and the Iced Latte flavour – both wrapped in cold-activated packaging that transforms in the fridge. Earlier this month, fans also spotted Dairy Milk Balls in stores, with many comparing them to the nostalgic Cadbury Tasters from the '90s. Just a few weeks ago the chocolate giant rolled out its limited-edition Twirl White Dipped bar, combining flaky Twirl layers with silky white chocolate. From iced latte Twirls to chocolate-coffee collabs with Kenco, it looks like summer 2025 is shaping up to be a choc-filled paradise for sweet-toothed Brits.
