Shopper upset over food that cannot be donated to charity

A woman was left furious after watching Aldi staff throw away mountains of plastic-packaged food - despite asking if she could buy it to donate to charity.

Lidia Simpson, from Burton, had visited the supermarket on Rykneld Road in Littleover at roughly 7.30pm on Thursday, November 2 when she saw the food being chucked into the bin.

As reported by Derbyshire Live, she said: “We often go to the Hollybrook pub and the Aldi is on our way home, so we often just pick up bits when we pass by. We’d just paid for our shopping at the till. They’d got loads and loads of food on this checkout that they were just chucking into this big bin.
