Aldi

If you're planning to order your Christmas food shop online, we've rounded-up when the major supermarkets will let you book a delivery slot - Asda, Ocado, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose are among those taking bookings from some shoppers but be quick - as slots are going fast.

Aldi will be launching a trial of paper and compostable carrier bags across its stores, after it stopped selling 5p plastic bags earlier this year. 

Aldi has stopped selling 5p single-use plastic bags across its UK stores, which it says will remove 80 million plastic bags from circulation every year.

The results of our latest 'Love or Loathe' poll are in, showing MoneySavers' favourite brands – as well as those they wouldn't touch with a bargepole. MoneySavers have remained firm fans of Aldi, Amazon and John Lewis, which all also  swept the board in our last poll in 2016. And factoring in both 'love' and 'loathe' votes, Wilko was the most popular brand, with 94% of those voting for it positive about the store. At other end of the spectrum, Apple and Currys/PC World continue to be loathed by many readers. House of Fraser, which has been embroiled in controversy since it went into administration in August, has seen a spike in criticism, while Sports Direct – which bought House of Fraser – is apparently MoneySavers' most-loathed brand. 

Budget supermarket Aldi has been crowned Britain's 'most loved' retailer by users of MoneySavingExpert.com, while cut-price fashion retailer Primark has been voted the 'most loathed' company by those who took part in our online poll.

Morrisons shoppers have been dealt a blow as those with its free Match & More loyalty card will soon no longer get the price difference back if their grocery shop would have been cheaper at Aldi, Asda, Lidl, Sainsbury's and Tesco.

Morrisons customers will soon automatically get the price difference back if their grocery shop would have been cheaper at Asda, Sainsbury's or Tesco AND Aldi and Lidl, but only if they register for a loyalty card.

Morrisons customers can now use the supermarket's price-checker tool to compare past prices for some online products – but it can be beaten by MySupermarket's existing tool.

If you've recently paid by debit or credit card for your Aldi shop, check your bank statement now as you may have been charged twice.

Shoppers could soon find it easier to compare food prices in-store after three of the UK's biggest supermarkets pledged to improve labelling to make prices and special offers easier to understand.
