Forget Aldi’s much lusted-after Specialbuys, what you really need to find out is when your local store’s secret bargain hour takes place.
This is apparently when food in the store is slashed in price by as much as 50%.
And it appears to be a case of the early bird catches the worm, as shoppers have revealed they have spotted ticketed items at opening time.

All items are reduced to 50% of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.
Food in the 50% bargain hour includes those that are about to pass their best before or use by dates.
However, shoppers have reported that the timing of bargain hour does vary from store to store, so it’s best to get in touch with your local to find out when you should pop down.
A spokesperson said: “All items are reduced to 50% of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”

One shopper commented on Facebook: “Turns out going to Aldi at 8am is not only quiet, but a bargain fest too.”
Another said: “8am every morning at Aldi, I grab loads for half price or less! Never had an issue with any of it, it’s all been delicious.”
Most of the other supermarkets reduce their food at the end of the day.
