Aldi selling bags of food worth £10 - but it will only cost customers £3.30
Aldi has rolled out its Too Good To Go partnership across all of its 990 UK stores.
The supermarket is now offering surplus food bags across its stores as a means of tackling food waste while also helping customers to save money, following a successful trial.
The nationwide store is now offering "Magic Bags" which will include a range of grocery products that are approaching their sell-by or use-by dates.
This comes following news that shop prices have hit new heights as the cost of living crisis continues - as experts warn that the peak inflation hasn't yet been reached.
Priced from just £3.30 each, these bags will contain at least £10 worth of food.

They will then be able to reserve a bag to collect from the store at an allotted time.
Aldi says that they expect the move to save a a further 4,000 tonnes of food from going to waste annually.
This new scheme will form a key part of its ongoing commitment to cut food waste, as Aldi says that it will also continue to donate surplus food to local causes every day of the year.
Aldi UK corporate responsibility director, Liz Fox said: “Rolling out our partnership with Too Good To Go is another way of allowing us to cut down on food waste, while also offering customers the opportunity to pick up our food at even lower prices.
“With the rising cost of living impacting so many, Too Good To Go offers a simple and accessible way for consumers to save money and reduce waste.”
And speaking about the scheme, Too Good To Go managing director Sophie Trueman said: “We’re thrilled to be rolling out our partnership.
“Having already had fantastic feedback during a successful trial period, I know our community is going to jump at the chance to save Magic Bags from their local Aldi and prevent even more good food from going to waste.”
Since 2019, the German supermarket chain has donated more than 30 million meals via its successful partnership with Neighbourly.
Other Too Good To Go partners include YoSushi, Costa, Morrisons, Pret and Greene King.
