Consumer experts at Which? have revealed the best supermarket to get your Christmas shopping essentials this year.
For the second year in a row, Aldi has been named the best supermarket for your festive food shop by Which?
The consumer group carried out a survey of 8,000 of its members to find the best place to shop this festive season.
Aldi came out on top and was also named the best supermarket for pigs in blankets, stuffing and fresh vegetables when rating taste, quality and value for money.
Aldi took first place with an approval score of 84% from the 8,000 Which? members surveyed, beating Marks & Spencer which scored 82% to finish second.
Waitrose was third with 80%, while Lidl came fourth with 78%.
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “We’re thrilled to be recognised by Which? as the best place to buy Christmas essentials, for the second year in a row.
“This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teams, who are committed to delivering great value, quality, and service to our shoppers.
“Christmas is a special time for many, and we’re proud to help families across the UK make the most of their festive celebrations, all while keeping their budgets in check.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
