Aldi's Supermarket Sweep is returning to Glasgow with a customer at its Shettleston branch given the chance to take on the trolley dash and raise funds for a local foodbank.
One shopper will be chosen to do a five-minute trolley dash and take home all the products they can grab in that time, with Aldi donating the cash value of the trolley to a local foodbank.
Run in accordance with current Covid-19 safety guidelines, the shopper will also be given a list of three Scottish products they need to find. If successful, Aldi will double the cash donation to the foodbank, and the customer will get to pick a Specialbuy item of their choice.
Local residents can apply by filling out an online application form accessed via a QR code, which will be displayed in the Shettleston Road store from Monday 5th to Sunday 11th July.

Richard Holloway, Regional Managing Director for Scotland, said: “The Supermarket Sweep is a hugely popular event in the Aldi calendar, and we are thrilled to bring the competition back this year and offer one local Glasgow resident the chance to win a shopping experience like no other.
“We know how much foodbanks have struggled during the pandemic, and because we had to pause Supermarket Sweep last year, we’ve thought we’d offer to double the cash donation if contestants can find certain Scottish products during their dash around the store. From Elgin to Ayr and Inverness to Hawick, we hope to give as many people across Scotland as possible a chance to take part this year and raise as much money as we can for local foodbanks in the process.”
Shoppers will be asked to nominate their chosen foodbank when applying to take part. Entrants must be over 18 years old to take part and alcohol products are not included in the sweep.
