SHOPPERS will soon be given the chance to win a supermarket sweep at a local discount store.

One lucky bargain hunter at Aldi in Shettleston will be chosen at random to do a five-minute trolley dash around the store. Aldi will donate the cash value of the trolley to a nearby foodbank.

The competition is based on popular 1990s television programme Supermarket Sweep hosted by legendary presenter Dale Winton.

The contest will be run in accordance with current Covid-19 safety guidelines. The shopper will also have to be find three Scottish products as part of their bargain frenzy. Aldi will double the size of the donation and the shopper will be able to pick a Specialbuy item of their choice.

Residents will have a chance to enter by filling out an online form accessed via a QR code which will has been displayed in the store since yesterday and will be open for entries until Sunday July 11.

Shoppers will be able to nominate their foodbank of choice when entering. Entrants must be aged 18 or over and alcohol is not included in the contest.

The sweep will take place before July 25 and the winner should be available after 10pm on their date of choice as the sweep will take place when the store is closed.

Richard Holloway, Regional Managing Director for Scotland, said: “The Supermarket Sweep is a hugely popular event in the Aldi calendar, and we are thrilled to bring the competition back this year and offer one local Glasgow resident the chance to win a shopping experience like no other.

“We know how much foodbanks have struggled during the pandemic, and because we had to pause Supermarket Sweep last year, we’ve thought we’d offer to double the cash donation if contestants can find certain Scottish products during their dash around the store. From Elgin to Ayr and Inverness to Hawick, we hope to give as many people across Scotland as possible a chance to take part this year and raise as much money as we can for local foodbanks in the process.”
