Aldi Leeds: How far £20 will get you with your grocery shopping in the discount supermarket
With the cost of living crisis starting to bite, we at the YEP wanted to see how far a £20 note would get a family in one of Leeds’s discount supermarkets.
I went to Aldi in Kirkstall Road and bought £20 worth of groceries (it was actually £20.04, as I had forgot to bring my own bags). I was able to buy large packs of minced beef and chicken thighs, some fresh fruit and vegetables, 10 eggs, a loaf of sliced white, a big six-pinter of semi-skimmed, cereal, spread, pasta, sauce and even some treats!
Check out the video above to see everything we bought during the shop. All items have been donated to St George’s Crypt homeless shelter.
