In the second half of 2023, its customers have already seen price reductions on more than 300 products.
Aldi UK buying managing director Julie Ashfield stated: “We know that this time of year can be an expensive time for everyone, which is why we are cutting more prices than ever before in December.
“Our commitment to always keep our prices as low as possible for customers is going nowhere and we continue to see shoppers switch to Aldi for this very reason.”
