Aldi has introduced another major offer ahead of the Christmas shopping rush in its 'biggest ever price drop'.

It's the most wonderful time of the year with Christmas just around the corner. Most of us will spend it celebrating with family and friends - which means you may need to stock up on plenty of food and drink.

Christmas may still be over a month away, but several retailers have already announced that they'll be closing their doors on Boxing Day.

Budget favourite supermarket Aldi has launched a brand new service that aims to help customers save money while they're shopping.

The UK's most hygienic supermarket has been named - and it's not ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Lidl, M&S or Waitrose.

Supermarket giants Aldi have an Ayrshire town in their sights as look to open 100 new stores across the country over the next two years.

Mirror.Aldi is introducing a new automated traffic light system to help control the number of customers going in and out of stores across the country.Traffic lights will signal when customers can enter supermarkets based on individual customer limits that are in line with two-metre social distancing guidelines and store sizes.The traffic light system will run alongside the current measures already in place at all Aldi stores to ensure social distancing.This includes protective screens at checkouts, distancing markers on shop floors, sanitisation stations for customers as well as signage to offer clear guidance on how to shop safely.Stores are also encouraging one customer per trolley where possible.Richard Thornton, communications director
