After a Christmas rush, budget supermarket Aldi has hailed 2021 as its 'best ever' Christmas sales.
Trading rebounded in December and Aldi has now vowed to offer the lowest prices across the UK supermarkets "no matter what", as reported by Birmingham Live.
After a difficult trading time due to the coronavirus and lockdown measures, the German supermarket has revealed that sales increased by 0.4 percent against the same month last year, when restrictions were in place.

According to Aldi, figures from research firm Kantar show it was the "only major supermarket" to increase its sales for the month.
Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK, said: "There's no doubt that 2021 was a long and difficult year for lots of people, but our amazing colleagues stopped at nothing as they came together to deliver the Christmas that our customers deserved.
"As we look ahead, the top priority for most families this year will be managing their household budgets in the face of rising living costs.
"As the cheapest supermarket in Britain, Aldi will always offer the lowest prices for groceries, no matter what, and continue to support our British farmers and producers."
Aldi continues to operate stores in the UK and has gone from strength to strength and has opened a number of new stores around Scotland in 2021 with the latest one opening in Hermiston Gait and another planned for West Lothian.
