// Aldi rolls out partnership with Too Good To Go in all of its UK stores
// The ‘Magic Bags’ from the partnership contain a range of products that are close to their sell-by or use-by dates and are sold for a lower price
Aldi has rolled out its partnership with food saving platform Too Good To Go in all of its 990 UK stores.
Following a successful trial last year, the supermarket is now offering surplus ‘Magic Bags’ to tackle food waste while offering lower prices.
The bags contain a range of products that are close to their sell-by or use-by dates, priced from just £3.30 each for at least £10 worth of food.

To get a Magic Bag, shoppers can simply 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.
The nationwide roll out is expected to save a further 4,000 tonnes of food from going to waste annually.
Aldi said its UK stores will continue to donate surplus food to local causes 365 days of the year.
Aldi UK corporate responsibility director, Liz Fox 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 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.”
