With many of us now shopping on behalf of people who are self-isolating, vulnerable or unable to leave the house, Aldi has made it easier to pay for essentials and groceries.
The supermarket has introduced a new scheme which allows people to buy special vouchers for use by volunteers shopping in stores.
You can buy the vouchers on the new Aldi voucher website vouchers.aldi.co.uk. Once purchased, the vouchers can be posted to any address in the UK so they can be given to volunteers, friends or family members to shop on their behalf.
Vouchers are available in denominations of £5.00 and £10.00 with no additional cost to the customer for postage.
Fritz Walleczek, Managing Director for Corporate Responsibility at Aldi said: "This is an incredibly difficult time for certain people in our communities and, as has always been our mission, we want to ensure everyone has safe, easy and affordable access to quality food.
"We all owe huge thanks to the volunteers, friends and family members that are making sure vulnerable people across the UK can get groceries while they self-isolate.
"I’m hopeful that our voucher scheme will make it a little bit easier for them to continue this vital work.”
