Aldi has taken the UK by storm since opening its first store here almost 30 years ago.
The budget chain is one of the most popular places for families to go shopping , mainly because of the value it offers.
Along with its fellow discounter, Lidl, the German chain is now outperforming its 'Big Four' competitors, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrison's and Asda. Here are nine things you really should known before going there.
Aldi now sees millions of shoppers come through its doors, attracted by sell-out, pocket-friendly products, the Mirror reports.
Its ability to keep prices low is down to a few factors - or tricks - as revealed in Inside Aldi: Britain’s Biggest Budget Supermarket.
The Channel Five documentary aired last week and featured former staff and experts who lifted the lid on the clever ploys that the retailer has used to make its products so competitively priced.
One of the secrets revealed showed this is in part down to the size of the checkouts.
As any Aldi shopper knows, these are rather on the small-side.
Experts on the show confirmed that a small till area prompt shoppers to put items straight back into their trolleys and then pack them at the back of the shop.
This means the check-out is cleared quicker for new shoppers, and staff can scan more items.
It's efficiency measures such as these which help keep prices low.
