Aldi Rolls Out Dedicated Reduction Zones Across 1,060 UK Stores

Clearly signposted sections use rolling markdowns on near‑sell‑by items to make bargains easy to spot, cutting waste.

Overview

  • The new areas group discounted bakery items, fresh produce and other perishables nearing their use‑by dates.
  • Prices are reduced throughout the day rather than at a single set time.
  • Aldi says the move supports shoppers seeking last‑minute savings and forms part of its affordability push.
  • The rollout complements existing efforts that include daily surplus donations via Neighbourly and Surprise Bags sold through Too Good To Go.
  • The change aligns Aldi with rivals that run similar marked reduction sections, with local outlets listing participating branches such as those in Stoke‑on‑Trent.
