ALDI is rolling out its partnership with the world’s largest surplus food platform to all of its stores in Glasgow.

Following a successful trial last year, the supermarket is making surplus food bags available nationwide, through Too Good To Go, in a bid to tackle food waste.

The Magic Bags will contain a range of grocery items that are approaching their sell-by or use-by dates at less than a third of the price, costing just £3.30 each to purchase for at least £10 worth of food.

To get a Magic Bag, shoppers can download the free Too Good To Go app and search for their nearby Aldi store, before reserving a bag to collect from the store at an allotted time.

Liz Fox, corporate responsibility director at Aldi UK, said: “Rolling out our partnership with Too Good To Go is another way of allowing us to cut down on food waste, while also offering customers in Glasgow the opportunity to pick up our food at even lower prices.

“With the rising cost of living impacting so many, Too Good To Go offers a simple and accessible way for consumers to save money and reduce waste.”

All of Aldi’s Glasgow stores will continue to donate surplus food to local causes.

Since 2019, the supermarket has donated more than 30 million meals via its successful partnership with Neighbourly. Sophie Trueman, managing director UK & Ireland at Too Good To Go, said: “We’re thrilled to be officially launching our partnership with Aldi nationally.

“Having already had fantastic feedback during a successful trial period, I know our Too Good To Go community in Glasgow is going to jump at the chance to save Aldi Magic Bags and prevent even more good food from going to waste.”
