Aldi has revealed the best time to shop in the lead up to Christmas. With Christmas around the corner, Brits are reaching peak festive panic, as shops increasingly fill with customers on a mission to stock up on groceries and buy last minute gifts. For those who would rather avoid the Christmas chaos, or for customers who may find the environment challenging, Aldi has revealed quieter days and times in its stores in the run up to the big day.
The UK's fourth largest supermarket advises shoppers to visit stores between the typically quieter hours of 8pm and 10pm. Meanwhile, some of the quieter days are Tuesday 17th December and Sunday 22nd December, as well as Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th December for those who don't mind leaving shopping until the last minute.
It comes as the discount supermarket has been named as Christmas Retailer of the Year by the Quality Food Awards, as well as "Best Overall Grocer" at the prestigious Good Housekeeping Institute Christmas Taste Test 2024. The annual Good Housekeeping taste test - which tests 730 products from more than 97 brands - also crowned Aldi's turkey, mince pies and champagne as best-in-class in their categories.
Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: 'For many of us, Christmas is all about coming together to share special moments - often over delicious food and drinks with loved ones. Aldi, the UK's fourth largest supermarket, advises shoppers to visit stores between the typically quieter hours of 8pm and 10pm.
