Lynn is on her trolley after mad dash around store for free

It's every shopper's dream to fire round a store, load the trolley, and then leave without paying a penny.

That's what has just happened to Paisley woman Lynn Farren as 'Supermarket Sweep' returned to the town's Aldi store.

Lynn had five minutes to pack her trolley as she flew up and down the aisles.

And she said: "I was so surprised to be selected for Aldi’s Supermarket Sweep as I have never won anything before.

"I decided to enter to support my local foodbank and I was delighted that I was able to help to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause. I really enjoyed the experience of the Supermarket Sweep at my local Aldi."

She got all her favourites without having to pay the £177.59 bill at the till.

Lynn also raised £355.18 for the Renfrewshire Foodbank.

Aldi says the sweep is "hugely popular" and is now back after having to be ditched for more than a year.

As part of the challenge she had to find and load three Scottish products, which mean't Aldi would make a foodbank donation of double her bill.

Crystal Clayton, who manages the Renfrewshire Foodbank, said: "We would like to thank Aldi for their continuous support of Renfrewshire Foodbank. We really enjoyed our evening, and the winner Lynn did extremely well. The money that we receive will help us provide food parcels for those who are experiencing food poverty and will also enable us to support those in crisis, helping them get back on their feet."

Aldi's regional boss Richard Holloway added: "The Aldi Supermarket Sweep is a firm favourite across the country, and we are so pleased to be able to bring it back after a year hiatus. Congratulations to Lynn who managed to raise an incredible £355.18 for Renfrewshire Foodbank and take home a trolley full of Aldi goodies for herself.”
