Fancy some free crisps? Well does Aldi have the dream job for you?
The supermarket giant is on the hunt for its first ever 'crisp taster' - a role which will involve sampling a selection of Aldi’s most popular crisps from the comfort of your own home, all for free.
The crisp taster job will also give the successful applicant an exclusive first try of products yet to hit Aldi's shelves.
Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, Julie Ashfield, said: “What our shoppers think is so important to us.
"It’s crucial we listen to their honest feedback so we can ensure our products continue to deliver on taste, while also offering unbeatable value.
“Sales of snacks such as crisps and nuts skyrocketed by +40% during the World Cup in 2022, so we expect our crisps to be in high demand this summer with Euros 2024.
"What better timing to find out what our most passionate snack fans have to say?”
