The winner of Aldi's Supermarket Sweep in Glasgow's Shettleston store has raised a whopping £917.62 for a local foodbank.
After a year's hiatus for the event, lucky shopper Richard Sloan was chosen as the winner of the in-store competition and got the chance to take part in the five-minute trolley dash for charity on Monday July 19.
As well as taking home a trolley full of goodies, worth more than £450, Richard successfully found the three Scottish products on his shopping list so Aldi doubled the total value of his haul and donated the lump sum to his nominated foodbank, East Renfrewshire Larder.
Richard said: “This was such a fantastic experience, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I know that foodbanks are struggling at the moment, so at a time when they are more important than ever, I am grateful to have the chance to give something back to them. I’d like to thank the team at Aldi for running the event and also the team at Shettleston who were really helpful on the night.”
