Another Aldi voucher

Yes, yet another Aldi voucher in the papers today - in the Mirror in England and Wales and the Record in Scotland.  £5 off when you spend £40, worth having if you are an Aldi fan.  I prefer the Mirror package to the one I got last week in the Express, as the Mirror vouchers tend to last a full week rather than just until Wednesday and somehow that extra day towards the weekend does make a difference.  The Mirror has also been in the habit of giving other supplementary vouchers for particular items - I got a posh tin of Fox's biscuits which I wanted to give as a family gift to some friends last time for £2.79 which I then saw selling for £5 in one of the big four supermarkets.

We were only in Aldi on Monday so the chances are that I will get this voucher and not actually go to spend it until towards the end of next week.  This run of vouchers is as good as the Morrison's offer really, I think, as the week's minimum spend is only £40 which is very do-able for a family of four like us, although I appreciate that a frugal couple may well spend a lot less each week.  I accept that I am having to buy the paper, but I am still £4.50 better off, and it is helping me to stay out of certain other supermarkets, too!

Excellent news, WP - thanks for that. Yes, the voucher is valid for longer this time, which is very useful! With it being valid for almost two weeks, that gives us a lot more flexibility in the run up to Christmas. I bought two papers, as I can see that I might want to go early next week, and then perhaps again on the Monday before Christmas for fruit, veg, and dairy items. I will have to think carefully about the menu plans and work out exactly what I need each time so that I balance the shopping to maximise the vouchers, as I don't want to spend too much the first time and then not need enough to justify the second voucher and waste it!
