Supermarkets in Lichfield and Burntwood are joining a scheme aiming to cut food waste.

Too Good To Go will be available in Aldi stores following a successful trail last year.

The platform lets people buy ‘Magic Bags’ containing a range of products approaching their sell-by or use-by dates. Each one costs £3.30 and contains at least £10 worth of items.

The roll-out to Aldi stores across the country is expected to save 4,000 tonnes of food from going to waste each year.

Liz Fox, corporate responsibility director at Aldi UK, said:

“Rolling out our partnership with Too Good To Go is another way of allowing us to cut down on food waste, while also offering customers in Staffordshire the opportunity to pick up our food at even lower prices.

“With the rising cost of living impacting so many, Too Good To Go offers a simple and accessible way for consumers to save money and reduce waste.”

Sophie Trueman, managing director UK and Ireland at Too Good To Go, added:

“We’re thrilled to be officially launching our partnership with Aldi nationally.

“Having already had fantastic feedback during a successful trial period, I know our Too Good To Go community in Staffordshire is going to jump at the chance to save Aldi Magic Bags and prevent even more good food from going to waste.
