Shoppers in Edinburgh will be able to help raise money for food banks with their weekly shop as the Aldi Supermarket Sweep returns for another year.
Customers will be able to raise money for food banks in their local area at the Edinburgh Aldi at Hermiston Gait Retail Park.
The Supermarket Sweep gives shoppers five minutes for a “trolley dash”. To grab and take home as many of their favourite items in that time. As well as giving the customers the items they collect, Aldi will also donate the worth of shoppers' trolleys to a local food bank.

Richard Holloway, Regional Managing Director for Scotland, said:
““The Supermarket Sweep is an event in the Aldi calendar that we all look forward to. We are so pleased to be bringing the initiative back for another year and offer one lucky Edinburgh resident the chance to have a shopping experience like no other.
“Foodbanks across Scotland have worked tirelessly over the last two years to help those who need their services the most. Last year we donated almost £9,000 to foodbanks through Supermarket Sweep and we want to build on this in 2022.
“From St Andrews to Inverness and Cumnock to Dundee, our Supermarket Sweeps will be taking place across the country. Not only are they a fun way to raise as much money as we can for local foodbanks, but they also give our loyal customers the opportunity to stock up on their favourite Aldi products.”
The yearly Supermarket Sweeps have been running since 2016 and last year raised more than £9,000 for foodbanks.
