Aldi has revealed it has reduced over 900 prices across its range of products in recent months.

The supermarket says it has invested more than £300million in price cuts since the start of 2025, including fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, dairy and household essentials.

Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “Rising inflation has meant many shoppers are understandably more conscious about where they spend their money.

“That’s why we’ve already invested more than £300million in price cuts this year, ensuring Aldi customers continue to benefit from the very best value.

“We know how important the lowest prices are to our customers, especially as they prepare for Christmas, and we continue to offer significant savings compared to the full-price supermarkets.”

It comes after Which? once again named Aldi the cheapest supermarket last month. The consumer group revealed a shop with 75 items cost £127.92 on average at Aldi in August 2025.

Aldi also today revealed plans to open an average of one new store a week between now and the end of the year. Some of the locations that have been confirmed so far including Sefton in Liverpool, Pacific Drive in Eastbourne, Brimington in Chesterfield and Shoreditch in London.

The supermarket recently published an updated list of priority locations across the UK where it wants to open new stores. Each site should be able to accommodate a 20,000 sq ft store with around 100 parking spaces and ideally be near a main road with good visibility and access.

The supermarket is also on the lookout for sites to accommodate its Aldi Local store format in Central London in zones one and two, which typically have a minimum size of 5,000 sq ft of trading space, along with an additional 3,000 sq ft of ancillary space.

Meanwhile, Aldi has confirmed it will once again close all of its stores on Boxing Day. Its supermarket stores will close for Christmas Day and reopen as usual on December 27, 2025, giving colleagues the chance to spend time with friends and family.

Stores will also be closed on New Year’s Day as usual, reopening once again on January 2, 2026. Opening hours will vary in the days leading up to Christmas, with Aldi operating extended hours to ensure customers can stock up ahead of the big day.
