Aldi to give shoppers £50 to spend in store over summer holidays
Families can apply to its Summer Support Scheme, which will see vouchers given away for Aldi shoppers to spend in stores every day
Families will be able to use the vouchers to stock up on whatever they need in the shop
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.
"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."

Earlier this year, Aldi, the UK's fourth biggest supermarket, launched its Mamia New Parent Fund, giving away £100 Aldi vouchers to parents every week for a year to help with the cost of welcoming a new baby.

The supermarket, which already operates more than 1,050 stores and employs over 45,000 people, is hiring for a wide range of store-level positions.
These include store assistants, store cleaners and store apprentices, as well as opportunities in management. Aldi store assistants earn a starting hourly rate of £12.75 nationally, increasing to £13.66, based on the length of service.
The supermarket says it remains the only one in the UK to provide paid breaks.

A SAVVY shopper has revealed how she keeps her food costs down to feed four people for just 50p a head per meal. 26-year-old Scottish lass, only known as The Finance Gurl, took to TikTok to share the mouth-watering recipe that cost her just £2 to whip up. 2 2 The cash-savvy shopper regularly shares easy and affordable recipe ideas on her page - and this time, showed her 10k fans how to make veg and egg fried rice on the cheap. Ingredients For this, she explained in a recent video, you will need a bag of white rice from Aldi's Essentials range, 52p, a six-pack of eggs for £1.45 and 500g of fresh carrots for 40p. Whilst shopping, the Aldi customer also snapped up a pack of three bell peppers for £1.69 and spring onions for just 69p. The total breakdown of the budget-friendly dish was 16p for the rice, 97p for four eggs, 10p for two carrots, 56p for one bell pepper, as well as 20p for three spring onions. This comes to a total cost of £1.99 - or just 50p per head if you're feeding a family of four. Method Once you have all the necessary ingredients, start by boiling 300g of rice and leave it to cool whilst preparing the other items. When the oil in the pan is ready, add the diced carrots and bell peper to cook, with the optional garlic if you have some already. Stir fry for around five minutes before pushing the veggies to the side of the pan and crack in the four eggs before scrambling them. ''Once the eggs have cooked, I'm mixing them in with the vegetables. I spend £400 on a weekly grocery shop - and that's cheap for my family ''Then you're gonna add your rice in and mix all of that together. ''Finally, you're gonna add two tablespoons of soy sauce and your spring onion.'' Give all of this a good stir and cook for an additional three minutes and voila, you're ready to serve your family a delicious meal on a budget.

Here are some tips from comparison site about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills: Write yourself a list – Only buy items that you need. If it isn't on your list, don't put it in the trolley Create a budget – Work out a weekly budget for your food shopping Never shop hungry – you are far more likely to buy more food if your tummy is rumbling Don't buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they'll charge for chopping can be eye watering Use social media – follow your favourite retailers to find out about the latest deals Be disloyal – You may want to go to different stores to find the best bargains Check the small print – It's always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you're making a like for like decision as a bigger box won't necessarily mean you get more Use your loyalty cards – Don't be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards One person commented: ''Well done. Type of post I like.
