Consumer experts at Which? have revealed the best supermarket to get your Christmas shopping essentials this year.
For the second year in a row, Aldi has been named the best supermarket for your festive food shop by Which?
The consumer group carried out a survey of 8,000 of its members to find the best place to shop this festive season.
Aldi came out on top and was also named the best supermarket for pigs in blankets, stuffing and fresh vegetables when rating taste, quality and value for money.
Aldi took first place with an approval score of 84% from the 8,000 Which? members surveyed, beating Marks & Spencer which scored 82% to finish second.
Waitrose was third with 80%, while Lidl came fourth with 78%.
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “We’re thrilled to be recognised by Which? as the best place to buy Christmas essentials, for the second year in a row.
“This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teams, who are committed to delivering great value, quality, and service to our shoppers.
“Christmas is a special time for many, and we’re proud to help families across the UK make the most of their festive celebrations, all while keeping their budgets in check.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
