Nutritionist Paul Evans has shared the best times of the week to shop at Aldi to get more bang for your buck, with four specific days when shelves are better stocked and stores less busy
A nutritionist who shops at Aldi says there are four times during the week when shoppers will get better value for money. The nutritionist in question, Paul Evans, was speaking on one of his podcasts about the ways customers can maximise their spending when they visit supermarkets.
In his case, he chose to discuss the popular budget supermarket Aldi and the optimal times of the week for people to visit if they wanted to get better value for their money.
He claimed that there were four times during the week when shoppers were likely to secure the best deals, reports the Mirror.
Paul stated: “The thing that I’ve found is if you go shopping on either a Friday night, a Saturday night or a Monday morning or a Tuesday morning, you get your best bang for your buck.
“They tend to be less busy, the shelves tend to be a little bit more stocked, as opposed to the weekend or if you go, seemingly, on like a Wednesday or a Thursday night.
“And also, it sets you up for the weekend if you go on Friday night, Saturday night or on a Monday night, then you’ve got the food for the week.”
As well as providing guidance on when Britons should visit the supermarket, Paul also stressed it was important that people should “never go to a supermarket hungry”.
Paul’s comments come as speculation grows about the impact on people’s weekly shop from the war in the Middle East, with concerns about the effect of ‘Trumpflation’ on the budgets of UK citizens.
Recent data indicates that food insecurity is escalating in the UK, with The Food Foundation endorsing calls for a ‘Good Food Bill’ to ensure a domestic supply of nutritious food, which is typically more susceptible to price fluctuations.
Speaking to the Mirror, Anna Taylor, executive director of The Food Foundation, was candid about whether the conflict in Iran would result in price increases for British consumers, irrespective of where they shop.
She stated: “Many are asking whether the conflict in Iran will push up food prices. The honest answer is: it will, if it is prolonged.”
However, Anna emphasised the importance of looking beyond the Iran war and addressing a fundamental issue with the UK’s food system, a problem that needs to be resolved to enhance the country’s security in the future.
She added: “The real issue is that the UK food system has become dangerously exposed to shocks far beyond our borders. What we need now is a Good Food Bill that sets out a long-term framework for building resilience in the UK food system – one that holds successive governments to account and protects citizens and farmers alike.”
