Aldi is launching a pizza delivery service in a handful of major UK cities next month, and it’s set to give Domino’s a run for its money.
We’re talking a whopping 83% cheaper than the rival takeaway here.
Fresh off-the-back of being named as the UK’s ‘Pizza Retailer of the Year’, and conveniently-coinciding with the start of fresher’s week for millions of students nationwide, Aldi has now revealed its plans to launch a brand-new pizza delivery service for the first time ever in three UK cities – and Manchester is one of the lucky chosen ones.
It’ll officially be launching on Tuesday 3 October in our city, as well as in two other key student hubs, Edinburgh and Cardiff.
The new delivery service means fast food lovers within selected postcode areas in our region can pre-order and tuck into the pizzas from budget supermarket retailer’s latest ‘Ultimate Takeaway’ range for just £3.99 each.

In classic cheeky Aldi style, the new ‘Ultimate Takeaway’ range is described as being the supermarket’s “most Domino’s-like pizza offering yet” and is launching in stores nationwide from 9 October.
Three “Domino’s inspired flavours” are included in the new range, The Meaty One, The Banger, and The Texas Style BBQ Chicken & Bacon – which are each inspired by the Domino’s best-loved classics Meateor, Absolute Banger, and Texas BBQ.

Customers can select up to two of these delicious new flavours to be delivered hot to their door with the new delivery service.

With a medium Meateor pizza from Domino’s currently setting shoppers back a hefty £20.99, plus a £2.50 delivery fee, on average, Aldi’s new service could end up saving you more than £19 per pizza when delivered.
Oh, and did we forget to mention delivery costs are free too? The bargains just keep coming.
So if you happen to live within the M13 or M15 postcode regions, and fancy pizza for tea on Tuesday 3 October, then the Aldi Pizza Delivery service is now live online for you to head on over and pre-book your delivery slot anywhere from 5pm-9pm.
You can get FREE carrots for Santa’s reindeers from Morrisons this weekend

Morrisons is back giving away carrots to feed Santa’s hungry reindeers for free this Christmas weekend.
Isn’t this just the cutest thing ever?
With the most wonderful time of the year officially here, and the big day itself just a few days away now, the supermarket retailer has decided it’s time to spread some festive cheer and help families prepare for Father Christmas’ visit by giving away more than 185,000 wonky carrots at all its stores across the UK – including those in Greater Manchester.
British wonky carrots are oversized or misshapen, but Morrisons insists they “still taste delicious” – and we don’t think Rudolph and his pals would disagree.

During the festive season, carrot sales at Morrisons more than double in the week before Christmas compared to the previous week, which just proves that the tradition of leaving food and drink out for the big man in red is still as popular as ever.
By giving the carrots away for free, Morrisons says it hopes to encourage shoppers to choose wonky vegetables more often.
Wonky veg is great for reducing food waste, as this produce would’ve otherwise been discarded.
The free carrots are available for anyone to collect at the front of all Morrisons stores across the UK from this Saturday and Sunday (21 and 22 December).

Manchester ranked among the worst UK cities for throwing away food at Christmas

A new survey has ranked Manchester among the worst cities in the UK when it comes to throwing away leftover food at Christmas.
If there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that a lot of food gets consumed during Christmas time, but unfortunately, what then comes along with that, is a lot of food getting thrown away too – with a new study revealing that British families are expected to bin nearly £300 million worth of festive food this year alone.
And sadly, Manchester has been named one of the top festive food waste hotspots.
Ahead of the festive season, leading electricals retailer, AO.com, is on a mission to help Brits cut back on their food waste, as 54% of Mancs have admitted to chucking out leftovers.
The survey found that, on average, a British family spends £136 on their Christmas food shopping, but 11% of that goes to waste.
This equates to a whopping £292,822,360 in Christmas food waste in total this year.
With almost 78% of survey respondents saying they would prefer to have their meals at home during the Christmas period, rather than dining out, the research uncovered that a quarter of Brits often throw away their Brussels sprouts, while one in 10 even admitted to binning everyone’s festive favourite, pigs in blankets.

Other northern cities ranking alongside Manchester in the not-so-coveted list of highest festive food waste offenders include Newcastle and Sheffield.
The capitals of London, Edinburgh, and Belfast also feature.
The news that Manchester has been named a festive food waste capital comes after a shocking study, also by AO, revealed back in August that Mancs throw away more than £1,000 of ‘freezable’ food every year too.
