I love a deal so I shop for my family once a month at Aldi, the cheapest grocery store in the UK.
Each time I go to Aldi, the store packs a lot of bargains and eye-catching items into its aisles.

As a dad and a shopper on a budget, I go to Aldi to grab groceries and essentials for my family about once a month.

I love that the international German-founded store has weekly sales and items produced here in the UK. Plus it's the cheapest supermarket in the UK, according to an analysis conducted by Which? that compared the prices of groceries at the country's biggest chains.

Here's a look at what it's like to shop at my local Aldi in the UK.

I made sure to grab a shopping cart before I entered the store.
