Aldi Rolls Out Reduction Zones Across UK Stores for Near-Expiry Discounts

Aldi frames the move as a value and sustainability measure, with exact markdown rates yet to be disclosed.

Overview

  • Clearly marked sections will feature discounted bread, fresh produce and other perishables close to their use-by dates.
  • Prices will be reduced throughout the day to encourage sales of items that might otherwise go unsold.
  • Aldi says the zones help shoppers find lower prices while reducing food waste.
  • Specific discount levels and detailed rollout timing by store have not been confirmed.
  • The in-store markdowns complement donations via Neighbourly and Too Good To Go, as Tesco trials late-night giveaways in selected Express shops.
