Aldi giving away free £50 every day throughout summer holidays to lucky shoppers
Aldi is holding their draw every day through July and August across Scotland, England, and Wales. As the school holidays start to begin across the country, budget supermarket Aldi is giving away free £50 vouchers to select shoppers as part of their new Summer Support Scheme. Winners will be selected every day across July and August. Aldi's latest freebie comes as the supermarket wants to help support families to make their money go further over the summer months. Stores in Scotland, England, and Wales will all be included in the scheme, which coincides with the six-week school summer holidays. However, there will only be one winner each day. Once shoppers enter into the draw, a new winner will be drawn each day and earn themselves a free £50 voucher to spend in store, reports the Express. For a chance to get money off your next shop, all shoppers need to do is submit their name and email address to SummerSupportScheme@ From there the selected Aldi Judges will pick seven names at random each week. With a total of 62 prizes up for grabs across the two month giveaway, winners will each be given a £50 Aldi voucher for absolutely free that can be spent in any store in the UK. Winners will receive their freebie in the form of a digital voucher that will be sent to the email address they used to apply to the giveaway. Shoppers can use the voucher on whatever they like. Whether that be helping out with the weekly shop, grabbing from treats for an impromptu picnic or for picking up Aldi's latest Specialbuy item. The giveaway started today at 00:01am and is set to end at 23:59pm on August 31. The last winners of the giveaway will be contacted by September 5, 2025. Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: "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. "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." The budget supermarket's latest scheme is part of their wider goal of supporting families across the UK. Their plan is to continue providing affordable, quality products for parents to help lessen the financial load of a weekly shop. Another of the firm's most recent commitments includes freezing the price of its Mamia First Infant Formula until the end of 2025. This is due to formula prices being at historic highs across the market. At the time, Julie said: "Shoppers should not be paying over the odds for the essentials. "As the UK's cheapest supermarket, we're committed to keeping prices low on the products our customers rely on most. "As formula prices remain at historic highs across the market, we want to reassure parents that at Aldi, there will be no unwelcome surprises at the checkout – we're keeping our Mamia First Infant Formula at just £6.99 for at least the remainder of this year."

How to save money at Aldi There are plenty of clever ways to save even more money when shopping at Aldi and most of them don't require any effort. One of the easiest tricks is to look out for items nearing their expiry date. Aldi often marks these down automatically at the till, even if there's no visible sticker on them. Items that expire the same day or the next can be up to 75% cheaper. So if you know you'll use something quickly or have freezer space it's worth snapping these up for big savings. Specialbuys are another major money-saver. These are limited-time items that land in stores every Wednesday and Sunday and cover everything from garden furniture to toys and kitchen gear. You can check what's coming soon by signing up for Aldi's newsletter or checking the Specialbuys section on the website. Aldi also runs its 'Super Six' fruit and veg offer every two weeks, where it slashes prices on six fresh items. It's a great way to get more variety in your weekly shop while paying less, with discounts like oranges for 99p or red cabbage for just 49p. If you haven't already, downloading the Aldi app can also help. It shows you all the latest offers and lets you build a shopping list to help you stick to your budget. You can even use the app to plan ahead for future deals. There's also Aldi's reduced aisle, which includes big discounts on items they're trying to shift. These are marked with red tags and are usually end-of-line Specialbuys or seasonal stock. If you can't spot it, ask staff where the reduction section is – it's often tucked away. Lastly, you can get cashback through Hyperjar, a savings app offering 20% back at Aldi. Just download the free app, load money onto your account, then buy a gift card to match the cost of your shop. You'll get cashback directly into your Hyperjar wallet – perfect if you're doing a big weekly shop and want some money back.

Aldi isn't the only retailer offering help to families this summer. Iceland is still running its Food Club, which lets eligible customers take out interest-free loans between £25 and £100 to help cover the cost of their food shop. The payments are made onto a pre-loaded card and can be repaid at £10 a week. Asda also offers a Kids Eat for £1 deal in its in-store cafes, which runs year-round. Children can get a hot meal for just £1 when an adult spends £1 or more. Some meals also include a free drink and a piece of fruit, making it one of the most affordable lunch options when you're out. Meanwhile, Tesco has teamed up with Community Cookery School to offer free cooking classes to parents and children over the summer, helping families learn budget-friendly recipes and how to reduce food waste. You can also check if your local council is running a Holiday Activities and Food Programme. These government-backed schemes offer free meals and activities to children who qualify for free school meals during term time but places often fill up fast, so it's worth registering early.

Aldi freezes price of baby formula for the rest of 2025
Aldi has pledged to keep its own-brand baby formula at £6.99 a tin for 'at least' the rest of the year. The supermarket made headlines last year after cutting the price within 48 hours of Iceland announcing its own plans to make milk more affordable for parents. Their Mamia milk is now even cheaper, and they say it is £5 less than the average sold elsewhere. Infant formula is required by law to meet the same standards, so all brands will give roughly the same nutrition, although some use goat milk or organic ingredients. However, the high price of formula has been in the spotlight, following Metro's Formula for Change campaign in partnership with the charity Feed. In April, the team went to parliament with over 100,000 signatures, urging for changes in the law to make it more accessible and affordable. The campaign urged the government to 'give retailers the green light to accept loyalty points, grocery vouchers provided by foodbanks and local authorities, and store gift cards as payment for infant formula'. Following Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) recommendations, the government is expected to make an announcement soon about what they will do to help parents with formula costs. Since 2021, the cost of formula has skyrocketed. The most expensive brand on the market, Aptamil Advanced, is now sold for £18 a tub. Desperate parents have been reduced to watering it down, going hungry themselves, and even stealing tubs off shop shelves, to ensure their babies get fed. While the World Health Organisation recommends exclusively breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby's life, there are many reasons why a parent might not do that, from adoption and cancer treatments to personal choice. In February, the CMA released a report which found prices for infant formula increased by over 25% between March 2021 and April 2023. It said this could be due to 'weak or ineffective competition', with sellers not given enough incentives to offer it at lower prices. There are also 'limited own-label alternatives', unlike for most other groceries, it added. They recommended that shoppers should be able to use loyalty points and gift cards to buy formula, although said the restrictions on advertising and promotions should remain. More Trending Aldi, the UK's fourth largest supermarket, said it made the commitment ahead of the government's expected response to the report. Julie Ashfield, Aldi's chief commercial officer, said: 'Shoppers should not be paying over the odds for the essentials. 'As the UK's cheapest supermarket, we're committed to keeping prices low on the products our customers rely on most. 'As formula prices remain at historic highs across the market, we want to reassure parents that at Aldi, there will be no unwelcome surprises at the checkout – we're keeping our Mamia First Infant Formula at just £6.99 for at least the remainder of this year.'
