Aldi has confirmed that it will be reducing the price of some of its vegetables to just 8p before Christmas.

The supermarket chain has reduced the price of its vegetables during the festive season in recent years, allowing customers to cut the cost of their Christmas dinner and this year the offer returns.

All year round, the supermarket offers its Super Six fruit and vegetables at reduced prices, and now it’s time to start thinking about getting the festive vegetables ready.

The promotion will be available in stores from December 19 until December 24 and includes the following vegetables:

  • Nature’s Pick White Potatoes (2kg)
  • Brussels sprouts (500g)
  • Carrots (1kg)
  • Parsnips (500g)
  • Swede
  • Red or white cabbages

The six vegetables will be available to buy for 8p each during the promotion.

Aldi will also be offering low-cost solutions for the rest of your Christmas dinner, including turkey, gravy, Yorkshire puddings and sage and onion stuffing mix at the same time.

Based on the prices below, Aldi says customers can enjoy a Christmas dinner for £1.36 per person:

  • British Small Whole Fresh Turkey (£8.85, £2.95 per kg)
  • Quixo Gravy Granules (89p, 300g)
  • Everyday Essentials Yorkshire Puddings (40p, 15 pack)
  • Quixo Sage & Onion Stuffing Mix (39p, 170g)
  • Nature’s Pick Potatoes (8p, 2kg)
  • Nature’s Pick Brussels Sprouts (8p, 500g)
  • Nature’s Pick Carrots (8p, 1kg)
  • Nature’s Pick Parsnips (8p, 500g)

The total dinner price is £10.85 and typically serves eight people, making it £1.36 per person.


The history of Aldi


It’s worth noting that the sage and onion stuffing and Yorkshire pudding price reductions will be available from November 25.

Aldi also says customers will pay a price depending on the weight of their turkey, and the price above is based on a Small Fresh British Turkey weighing 3kg.

Aldi welcomes the return of Kevin the Carrot in time for Christmas

The news comes as Aldi shoppers can once again get their hands on Aldi’s iconic Kevin the Carrot toys.

Shoppers can now buy Kevin the Carrot, Katie and a collection of festive characters.

The supermarket brought back its much-loved plush toys to the middle aisle (and its latest Christmas advert) from November 12, with prices starting at £3.49.

Cauli Dog, the adorable star of this year's Christmas advert, is available for £3.99 – but Aldi has introduced a limit of just two per customer because of expected demand.

The plush toy range also includes Kevin the Carrot and Katie, both priced at £3.99, alongside Jasper, Chantenay and Baby, giving fans the chance to collect the whole festive family.

As the toys are Specialbuys in Aldi’s middle aisle, they’re available while stocks last.
