Clever Aldi shopper's hack will get you cheaper shopping every time

Supermarket giant Aldi is known for its low prices and evolving product range.

It's been crowned the UK's cheapest supermarket on countless occasions, and has a loyal fan base because of it.

But one smart shopper has discovered there's a clever loophole to getting even cheaper groceries every week according to the Manchester Evening News.

Posting on the Aldi Shoppers UK Facebook page, she said: "I’m not sure how many people realise this, but each week Aldi publish a basket of shopping for its marketing campaign to compare with other stores.

"Find the ad and you can click on the terms and conditions and get the shopping list as a pdf.

"It is usually a week's meals for a family of four for around £45 and it makes the most of limited time offers and specialbuys.

"It also corresponds with their recipe list online."

She added: "Usually that weeks meals are at the top but if you want an alternative (this week I swapped out whole chicken for pork joint) you can just put ‘pork’ into search on website, select ‘recipes’ instead of the default, which I think is ‘in store’ and you can track down the recipes they use.

"So this week I used a list they published a few weeks ago, but I could still track down the menu by searching on ingredients - we are looking forward to chicken enchiladas, veg tart, seafood paella, cod, sweet potato fries and mango and just enjoyed excellent roast pork which will also do sandwiches for work. De nada!"
