Aldi's Supermarket Sweep challenge giving customers chance to raise funds for Children's Hospices Across Scotland
Aldi Scotland's Supermarket Sweep challenge is back for another year, giving customers in Motherwell the chance to raise funds for Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
The challenge, inspired by the legendary game show of the same name, is sure to add excitement to the weekly shopping trip.
As well as fundraising, people in Motherwell have the chance to take home their favourite items from Aldi's store in Mason Street.
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 more than 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.
Motherwell residents can apply for the Supermarket Sweep until this Sunday, July 6.
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 Motherwell 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."

Popular crisps brand brings back iconic flavour which rivals Walkers classic
A POPULAR crisps brand has brought back an iconic flavour which rivals an axed Walkers classic. Calbee UK has relaunched its Seabrook crinkle cut Tomato Ketchup bags to shopper fanfare. Eaters can pick up packs of six 25g bags for £1.45 in Morrisons, with each bag containing 124 calories. Shoppers can't get enough of the returning crisps, which are similar to Walkers' Tomato Ketchup bags, that were confirmed as re-launched in March after being axed in 2023. Posting on Facebook, one said: "As a teenager I loved these, my bestie bought me a case of the loose bags for my birthday. Best crisps ever!" Another commented: "If they are the same as before they were delicious." Meanwhile a third added: "Wahoo got one xx they taste amazing in a sandwich for the added crunch." A fourth, posting a photo of a pack after buying one, chipped in: "Finally got myself a bag of vintage." The Sun has asked Calbee when the limited edition crisps re-launched and how long they are on sale for and we will update this story when we have heard back. It comes just days after KP Snacks revealed it was bringing back Disco pickled onion, last seen on shelves in 2005. The tangy snack is being launched in convenience stores across the UK from August 27 with a 70g bag costing £1.35. Meanwhile, Aldi has confirmed it is bringing back "addictive" crisps in a matter of months after they were axed. Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK? Shoppers can buy the 105g bag of the Specially Selected Prawn Cocktail crisps for £1.05. OTHER ITEMS MAKING A COMEBACK Retailers often bring back nostalgic and previously discontinued items, based on customer demand and appetite. Meanwhile, White chocolate Maltesers made a grand return to shelves earlier this year after a 10-year hiatus. A 30g bag is currently available to buy in Morrisons for £1.05, while a larger 74g pouch costs £1.75. Elsewhere, Opal Fruits, which were rebranded as Starburst in 1998, are available from Sainsbury's for £1.25. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. In other retail news, Aldi is selling nostalgic childhood crisps for just 99p. Plus, Tesco shoppers are rushing to buy a stunning"reduced to clear" item scanning for 40% off. .
