ONE lucky Stewarton resident will get the chance to take part in Aldi's supermarket sweep this week - and raise cash for local foodbanks at the same time.

Residents can apply to take part from today, Monday, May 29, until Sunday, June 4.

Launched in 2016, Aldi’s Supermarket Sweep gives shoppers the chance to do a five-minute trolley dash and take home all the favourites they can grab in that time.

Aldi will also donate the cash value of the trolley to a local foodbank.

The lucky shopper also has a chance to double this cash donation and take home a SpecialBuy item of their choice (value up to £50) if they successfully find a hidden inflatable in-store.  

Richard Holloway, Managing Director for Scotland, said: “The Supermarket Sweep is an event in the Aldi calendar that we always look forward to.

"We are pleased to be bringing the initiative back for yet another year, and to offer one lucky Stewarton resident the chance to have a truly unique supermarket experience. 

“Foodbanks across Scotland are working tirelessly to help those who need their services the most, especially during these challenging times.

"Last year we donated almost £10,000 to foodbanks through Supermarket Sweep, and we want to build on this in 2023. 

Shoppers will be asked to nominate their chosen foodbank when applying to take part. Entrants must be over 18 years old to take part, and alcohol products are not included in the sweep.  

Entry is free and customers can apply in-store or by emailing supermarketsweep@aldi.co.uk. Entrants must be available to take part in the sweep after stores close at 10pm on their chosen date.
