Aldi issues message to ALL shoppers with an account after major change to shopping
ALDI has issued a message to all shoppers with an account after a major change to shopping,
The budget supermarket chain closed its online delivery service back in July.
Now Aldi has told customers what will happen to their accounts on its website.
An email sent today reads: “On the 2nd October we made a few changes to our website, including removing the option to log into our main site.
“You’ll have one less password to remember! But in all seriousness, you can still access the important stuff such as warranty information at aldi.co.uk/warranties.
“If you’re opted in we will continue to send all the latest Aldi offers straight to your inbox each week.
It continued: “This change won’t affect your Click & Collect groceries account if you have one.
“That account will remain open and can still be accessed at groceries.aldi.uk.
“We’ll take care of all the hard work, while you sit back and continue to enjoy browsing our amazing range of instore Specialbuys from the comfort of your sofa.”
Aldi’s huge sales growth led the discounter to decide it no longer needs the costs or distractions of an online business.
How can I save money on my Aldi shop?
If you’re an Aldi regular, you’ll want to employ a few money-saving tips to slash your bill.
Of course, the discount grocer is famous for its middle aisle, where shoppers can pick up everything from garden furniture and gym equipment to kitchen appliances and clothes.
To get the best bargains, you need to know when the Specialbuy items will be on sale.
You can find new stock in Aldi’s middle aisle on Thursdays and Sundays, so you’ll get your pick of the products if you head to the store then.
But every two weeks, Aldi also picks six of its favourites to offer shoppers fruit and veg at low prices.
The prices don’t change over the two weeks that the offer is live so really you can cash in at any time – though what’s on offer will change every fortnight.
But if you want to be sure to get the best of the bunch, then heading to the store at the start of the week to pick the freshest items won’t hurt.
Yellow stickers are the key to a successful shop for most customers, and Aldi has its own version of labelled bargains too.
Aldi shoppers should look out for red stickers on products instead.
Workers usually put them on to show something is reduced, either because the packaging is damaged or it’s about to go out of date.
You can often save up to 75% off products marked up in this way in Aldi, so it’s worth keeping an eye out in the store.
And remember, it’s always worth writing a list before heading out to your nearest branch.
That way you’ll be less inclined to make any rash purchases which could see costs rack up.
