Aldi Scotland's famous Supermarket Sweep challenge is coming to East Kilbride
It will also let someone raise funds for Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
Aldi Scotland's Supermarket Sweep challenge is back again for another year, giving customers in East Kilbride the chance to raise funds for Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
The supermarket challenge, inspired by the legendary game show, is sure to add excitement to the weekly shopping trip.
As well as fundraising, East Kilbride locals have the chance to take home their favourite items from Aldi's store on Avon Drive.
Launched in 2016, the supermarket challenge offers shoppers the chance to take part in a five-minute trolley dash, allowing them to gather as many Aldi favourites as they can within the timeframe. Once the time is up, the lucky shopper gets to take home the trolley full of goodies, while Aldi matches the cash value of the goods as a donation.
Each year across Scotland CHAS supports over 500 babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions and their families. In 2025 every penny raised through Aldi's Supermarket Sweep will go directly to CHAS, with £10,000 pledged in support.
East Kilbride residents can apply for the Supermarket Sweep from Monday to Sunday, April 21 to 27.
Graham Nicolson, group buying director, Aldi Scotland, said: 'Our annual Supermarket Sweeps hold a special place in the Aldi calendar, donating over £50,000 to local charities since 2016. We're very much looking forward to its return for another year and giving one lucky East Kilbride resident the chance to enjoy a truly unique supermarket experience.
'CHAS is a charity very close to our hearts, which provides a truly invaluable lifeline for families across Scotland, offering specialist care and unwavering support during the most difficult moments imaginable. This year, Aldi Scotland's Supermarket Sweep will be travelling all over Scotland, giving Aldi customers nationally a brilliant opportunity to raise funds for CHAS while shining a light on the incredible work the charity does.'
Entry is free and customers can apply in-store or by emailing supermarketsweep@aldi.co.uk
Entrants must be available to take part in the sweep after stores close at 10pm on their chosen date and must be over 18 years old to take part, while alcohol products are not included in the sweep.

Cheapest UK supermarket for May 2025 could save shoppers £48 on 82 essentials
The latest Which? comparison has found the cheapest supermarket for a basket of 81 essential items. Getting in the weekly groceries has become fairly expensive over the years. Which is exactly why many households often look for ways to save money. For this reason, Which? runs a monthly price comparison across eight of the biggest supermarkets across the UK, with the latest showing how shoppers can save over £48 in total. For the fifth month in a row, the consumer watchdog's analysis has found that Aldi is once again the most affordable supermarket, charging just £135.48 for a basket of 82 branded and non-branded essentials. It means that the budget German discounter has taken the crown for every single month this year, following on from its major win in 2024 where it was found to be the cheapest supermarket for the whole year. By direct comparison, premium chain Waitrose was once again found to be the most expensive option, with the same basket of items coming in at £184.03 - meaning Aldi shoppers are saving 36 percent and £48.55. However, it is worth noting that, while Aldi held onto its coveted title as the cheapest supermarket, its fellow budget German rival Lidl was hot on its heels, with just 31p more for Plus members (£135.79) and 34p more for regular shoppers (£135.82.) Out of the traditional supermarkets, the May 2025 Which? comparison found that Asda was offering the most affordable prices, coming fourth place with its own basket of 82 items costing £149.94. To emphasise Aldi's savings, it was discovered that loyalty schemes from many major supermarkets were still more expensive, as Tesco Clubcard users were being charged £150.26, while regular customers were being charged £152.35. Meanwhile, Sainsbury's was charging £151.82 for the same 81 items for Nectar members and £155.59 for those not signed up to its loyalty scheme. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Out of the traditional supermarkets, Morrisons was still more expensive, even with a More Card. Those signed up to its loyalty scheme were charged £155.76, while those without would be charged £156.71. It is worth mentioning that the Which? analysis also covers a much larger shopping list of 198 items, although Aldi and Lidl are not included because they do not offer the same availability of branded items. Similar to previous months, Asda once again held onto its crown as the most affordable option for the bigger shop, charging shoppers £485.79. Meanwhile, Waitrose was also the most expensive for this shop, with its total coming in at £559.02. Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: 'Which? analysis demonstrates Aldi's determination to provide its customers with quality, affordable groceries as an essential need for the long term. 'We are proud to retain this position of cheapest supermarket for an incredible nineteenth month, allowing our shoppers to save their money for other life essentials.' Full list of prices for a smaller shop of 82 items Aldi - £135.48 Lidl with Lidl Plus - £135.79 Lidl - £135.82 Asda - £149.94 Tesco with Clubcard - £150.26 Sainsbury's with Nectar - £151.82 Tesco - £152.35 Sainsbury's - £155.59 Morrisons with More - £155.76 Morrisons - £156.71 Ocado - £168.48 Waitrose - £184.03 Full list of prices for a larger shop of 198 items Asda - £485.79 Tesco with Clubcard - £496.59 Sainsbury's with Nectar - £498.72 Morrisons with More - £512.26 Morrisons - £517.69 Tesco - £531.95 Ocado - £533.62 Sainsbury's - £537.81 Waitrose - £559.02

Aldi launches £3.99 buy that will light up your garden for balmy summer nights – it will add style to a fence in no time
ALDI is launching a budget-friendly buy to elevate your garden this summer. The German retailer has a whole range of garden buys coming to stores this Sunday, and you won't want to miss out. 2 2 The Solar Light Bulbs will be in stores tomorrow and are the perfect buy for the garden. Not only will they give your fence an instant update, but they'll also come in handy during the evenings. Costing just £3.99 each, the bulb comes with a crocodile clip so it can be hung around the garden. The bulbs come in two different shapes and have 20 firefly LED lights inside to add a whimsical touch. It also comes with a flat base for use as a table lantern if you don't want to hang it. Of course, the lights are solar-powered so you won't have to worry about getting batteries for the lamp. Aldi bosses say: "Bring colour into your outdoor space with this Solar Iridescent Lightbulb." It's part of Aldi's wider push to offer low-cost garden essentials this season, with the budget supermarket regularly selling out of its Specialbuys aimed at outdoor living. Like with all Specialbuy items from the store it will only be available while stock lasts. So if you want to get your hands on the bulb, you'd best head to your local store tomorrow to stock up. Mrs Hinch raves about £2 Home Bargains buy that 'adds charm to your garden' & a £10 product that's 'cheaper than Amazon' More Garden Buys The budget-friendly retailer is also launching a budget-friendly gadget this weekend that promises to keep bugs and pests at bay throughout the warmer months. Available in stores across the UK from Sunday, June 8, the Zero In Bug Zapper Lantern is priced at just £7.99 — and it's already catching the attention of bargain hunters. The lantern kills nuisance flies and mosquitoes on contact, helping to create a bug-free zone ideal for BBQs, camping trips or even indoor use. It's designed for versatility, you can hang it up or stand it on any surface, and it works best in low-light conditions. The gadget also features four built-in LED lights and comes complete with a USB rechargeable battery pack and charging cable, making it easy to power up for evening use. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening on the patio or hosting friends and family for a garden gathering, this simple tool could make all the difference. Aldi says the lantern is 'perfect for outdoor living,' especially for those who want to enjoy summer evenings without being pestered by insects.
