In a strategic move to enhance affordability, Aldi has lowered prices on key fruits and vegetables within its Everyday Essentials range. Customers can now enjoy reduced prices on items such as strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, and spinach. These price reductions reflect an average decrease of around 9%, offering consumers notable savings on everyday groceries.
Specifically, the price of strawberries (400g) has been reduced from £1.89 to £1.75, and baking potatoes (2.5kg) are now priced at £1.59, down from £1.69. This adjustment is part of Aldi’s recent strategy to lower prices of over 100 items over the past two months. Prior to this, Aldi had also cut costs on over 30 different household products, including staples such as apples, oranges, and peaches.
Julie Ashfield, Aldi UK’s Managing Director of Buying, emphasized the continuous efforts to provide savings to customers, stating, “Every week we are working hard to make new savings to pass on to our customers and help ensure we always offer them the lowest grocery prices. We know that shoppers are having to make hard choices at the moment.”
Aldi’s commitment to maintaining low prices has earned it the distinction of being the UK’s cheapest supermarket for 14 consecutive months, as reported by the consumer group Which?. This recognition was based on a comparative analysis showing Aldi’s basket of goods at £71.22, substantially lower than Waitrose’s £87.24, the most expensive in the study.
Aldi’s strategic price reductions on fruit and vegetables underscore its dedication to providing cost-effective options for consumers amid economic challenges.
