Aldi to lift restrictions on nappies and alcohol from today

Budget retailer Aldi has given an update on how its stores will now operate during the current coronavirus pandemic.

During the last couple of weeks Aldi, along with many other supermarkets has put food restrictions in place to ensure there is enough stock for everyone to get hold of essentials.

Restrictions were also put on other items such as baby food, toilet rolls, soaps and more.

However Aldi has confirmed this morning that from today it is lifting restrictions on beers, wine and spirits, as well as nappies.

The lifting will no doubt come as a relief to many parents with little ones.

It comes after Aldi also removed its previous four-item limit across other products earlier this week.

Aldi has also confirmed that following yesterday's contactless payment limit increase, from Monday, April 6 shoppers will be able to use that method of payment on transactions up to £45 across its stores.

However, although product restrictions may have been lifted Aldi is still ensuring all customers stick to social distancing rules by implementing a "one person, one trolley" rule across all of its stores.

It confirmed the news on its official twitter account, it said: "Please shop individually wherever possible. In order to help with social distancing, we are encouraging all customers to try and reduce the number of family members they bring with them into our stores."

The tweet was shared along with an image which also included a statement in which Aldi asked parents to "shop alone if possible".

However, where some parents may not be able to, children would be allowed into its stores. The statement said: "Where necessary parents can shop with their children, but like all supermarkets, we're asking people to shop alone if possible to support social distancing in our stores."
