Tobias Gruber, founder and CEO of My Community Finance, said: "It's excellent that Aldi continues to help Brits with the cost of living crisis by providing competitive prices. They're not only helping their customers to save money on their food shopping, but they''re also helping consumers who shop elsewhere by holding other supermarkets to account, forcing the grocers to reevaluate their prices, keeping them low or matching them with Aldi's prices.
"Food shopping around Christmas gets expensive. If you're heading out to do a big Christmas food shop this month, make sure you make a list, stick to it and don't be tempted to buy more than you need. Budgeting this Christmas is essential to ensure you don't start the new year with a debt hangover."
