Aldi fans are racing to nab their latest deal where you can walk home with piles of food for £3.30 including steaks
SHOPPERS are racing to their nearest Aldi after one lucky customer managed to nab steak and other goodies for under a fiver.
Foodie Terry George, from Kent, shared his bargain haul on Facebook, after nabbing a box of food for a mere £3.30.
According to the man, he had spotted the incredible deal on the popular Too Good To Go app – which helps customers save money and tackle food waste.
The find, purchased at Aldi, was so successful, it even inspired fellow shoppers to race to their nearest store.
Sharing a snap of the goodies in the kitchen, George revealed that he managed to get his hands on some steals, such as a juicy steak and even cakes.
The snap, shared on the popular Family Lowdown Tips & Ideas page on Facebook, also revealed fresh produce, such as grapes, mushrooms and spring onion.
There were also packets of sliced ham, carrot sticks, ready-made salad that’s perfect on the go, and even two massive boxes of chocolate chip cookies.
Praising the application, the shopper wrote in his post: ”Such a handy app to help save money.”
Uploaded on the platform just one day ago, the post has already racked up more than 1.5k likes, as hundreds flocked to comments to thank George and Nicola.
”Didn’t know aldi did them,” wrote a fan.
”Thanks for the inspiration,” said another who then also shared their jaw-dropping haul.
Someone else, meanwhile, didn’t have the best experience with the app, writing: ”Ours was rubbish from Costa, 3 mouldy sandwiches.”

Many restaurant, café and food brands have partnered with Too Good to Go and will provide a “magic bag” of unsold food to users at the end of the working day.
Download and set your location on the Too Good To Go app and you can choose from nearby stores listing their unsold food at a reduced price.
Listings show how much a bag of food costs and how many are left as well as where you need to pick it up.
Looking for more apps to slash your costs? Here are some of our favourites.
No Waste
The free No Waste app lets you scan your food and organise it by expiry date, name or category.
This makes it easier to do the next shop as you can easily see what you are running out of.
Lists can be shared with family so you can give away unwanted food plus you can track how much you are wasting by deleting items you have eaten or that have expired.
The app will tell you how much of your food you have eaten each month and how much money you have saved or wasted.
Olio
Are you going on a diet or did you over order items in your latest shop? You can share unwanted food for free among your neighbours using Olio.
Food shared could be nearing its sell-by date, spare home-grown vegetables or the groceries in your fridge when you go away, move home or are on a diet.
You can also share non-food items such as furniture, clothes, toys, household and beauty products.
Users take a picture of the item, post it to the app and then agree where and how it should be picked up with anyone interested.
The app is free for households but businesses have to pay for a service that will take unsold food and distribute it to them.
Almost 10 million portions of food have been shared through the app, which has 2.6 million users worldwide.
Karma
Similar to Too Good To Go, Karma lets hungry households rescue unsold meals from businesses at a discount.
You can search for nearby food to pickup based on your location through the Karma app.
Unlike Too Good to Go, it well tell you what food you are getting so there is even less chance of it being wasted.
