- Prices have been reduced by an average of 7% on a variety of household staples, including fresh produce and personal care products.
- This effort is part of a broader strategy by Aldi, having previously cut prices on over 130 items in recent months.
- The move includes the expansion of Aldi’s promotional fruit and vegetable range, now branded as ‘Super 7’.
- Aldi continues to maintain its position as the UK’s cheapest supermarket, according to recent consumer analysis.
Aldi has implemented another round of price reductions, this time affecting over 30 household products within its grocery staples. This change allows consumers to benefit from an average price decrease of around 7% on essential items such as fresh apples, oranges, and peaches, as well as commodities like butter, spreads, and canned foods. Personal hygiene products and treats for pets are also more affordable under this latest pricing strategy.
This price reduction initiative is not isolated. It forms part of a larger plan where Aldi has progressively reduced prices on more than 130 items over the past two months. The strategy includes expanding its promotional offering of fruits and vegetables, previously known as the ‘Super 6’. It’s now being extended to ‘Super 7’, providing shoppers with additional choices and savings.
Julie Ashfield, the Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, reaffirmed the company’s pledge to offer the lowest grocery prices. She stated, ‘Our promise is that we will always offer the lowest grocery prices and we’re doing everything we can to pass savings on to our customers.’ Her comments highlight Aldi’s strategy to attract cost-conscious shoppers who are increasingly turning to the discount retailer.
Consumer reports from Which? have consistently named Aldi as Britain’s most affordable supermarket for 14 consecutive months as of July. A comparative study on a basket of goods shows that Aldi is not only cheaper than many competitors but offers substantial savings. For instance, its basket, averaged at £71.22, was notably cheaper than both Tesco and Waitrose, illustrating a typical savings margin of 12% compared to the traditional ‘Big Four’ supermarkets.
Aldi’s price reduction initiative underscores its dedication to offering affordable grocery options to consumers, reinforcing its status as a leader in cost-effective retail.
