Aldi has announced a cut to the price of its milk. It said the change took effect from Friday.
The supermarket said it had lowered a four-pint bottle of milk by 10p, from £1.55 to £1.45. Its two-pint bottles will also reduce from £1.25 to £1.20 and its six-pint bottles will reduce from £2.30 to £2.15.
It said it was the first time a four-pint bottle of milk had fallen below £1.50 since September 2022. The reductions, which Aldi said would have no impact on the price paid to farmers, are the latest of more than 70 prices that Aldi has cut in the past two months, including household staples such as tricolore pasta, honey and straight-cut chips.
Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi UK, said: “Aldi has consistently been named by Which? as the UK’s cheapest supermarket and shoppers are switching to Aldi from every other supermarket as they look to save money. Shoppers are having to make hard choices about how to spend their money at the moment, which is why we are investing in the price of key everyday items to help customers manage their finances.”
