Aldi is looking to give someone free shopping for a year with its new ‘superfan card’

'I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me.'

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 2nd October 2024

Aldi has launched its first ever ‘superfan card’, and is looking to give one lucky person free shopping for a full year.

Did you know that, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average UK household now spends, on average, £4,124 on groceries annually? For many families, that figure could be even higher too unfortunately – but for one lucky Aldi shopper, they soon won’t have to part ways with a single penny for 12 whole months.

That’s because the budget supermarket retailer has just launched a new ‘superfan card’ for the first time ever, and wants to celebrate its most loyal customer by offering them a year’s-worth of groceries for free.

Only one shopper will be able to claim the exclusive new card.

While Aldi is the UK’s cheapest supermarket, which tends to mean customers spend less groceries overall, the wide selection of seasonal Specialbuys on offer in the fan-favourite ‘middle aisle’ can often mean they end up spending more, which is why Aldi’s Superfan Card will be worth £5,000 so the winner can bag the exciting extras as well as the essentials.

Richard Thornton, who is the Communications Director at Aldi, is calling this a “once in a lifetime opportunity”, adding: “We know how passionate our customers are about Aldi, and we wanted to find a way to give something truly special back to Aldi’s biggest fan.

“We can’t wait to see the creativity and enthusiasm in the entries.”

All bargain-lovers need to do to be in with the chance of winning the new card is explain to Aldi judges – who will carefully review all submissions – in no more than 250 words they are the company‘s biggest fan and deserve to win a year’s worth of free shopping.

You just need to be over 18, and to email your name, age, hometown, and your entry to [email protected], before the deadline on Halloween (31 October) at 11:59pm.

The winner will be contacted by 30 November 2024.

Liam and Noel Gallagher have teamed up with adidas once again to create their very own SPZL trainers.

The sportswear giant has today dropped the designs for the adidas LG Achille SPZL and the adidas NG Marathon SPZL.

The sure-to-sell-out trainers will officially hit shelves in the new Manchester adidas store, and other stockists, next weekend.

The footwear drop coincides with the ongoing Oasis reunion tour, which attracted hundreds of thousands of people to the city when they played five nights in Heaton Park.

Liam and Noel themselves have maintained a close relationship with Gary Aspden, curator of the adidas SPZL range, for more than two decades.

They’re often seen sporting the iconic trainers and creating product collaborations, and now they’re back with a new Three Stripes partnership and their very own new adidas SPZL trainers.

Up first is Liam Gallaghers’s adidas SPZL, with the Oasis frontman asking to bring back a revised version of an archival runner, the adidas Achille.

The LG Achille SPZL features a khaki mesh base, chocolate brown stripes, a beige suede T-toe overlay, and a sand outside, with a motif of Liam on the tongue of the shoe.

Noel Gallagher’s NG Marathon SPZLs are his first collaborations with the brand since his immediate sell-out shoes back in 2017.

His are a new hybrid inspired by the adidas Marathon 85 silhouette, keeping the suede upper and rubber outsole of the Marathon 85 but with a deep navy/sky blue palette with a reworked toe box and midsole, as well as details like the Eco-Tex tongue and tonal eyelets.

Both shoes feature a portrait of their namesakes on the tongue, as well as spare laces, co-branded sock liners, and commemorative packaging.

The adidas LG Achille SPZL and the adidas NG Marathon SPZL are set to launch via adidas SPZL stockists and the adidas Carnaby and MCR retail stores on 16 August.
