ALDI Ireland and Too Good To Good launch partnership to tackle food waste in County Kildare
ALDI is making its popular Too Good To Go ‘Surprise Bags’ available for reservation earlier than ever before for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Customers in Kildare will be able to reserve a bag via the Too Good To Go app up to five days in advance, giving shoppers even more flexibility during the busy festive period.
This means that bags for Christmas Eve will be available to order from Thursday, December 19 for collection and bags to collect on New Year’s Eve can be ordered from Friday, December 27.
The ‘Surprise Bags’ cost just €3.99 each and contain at least €12 worth of food approaching its sell-by or use-by date.
Liz Fox, National Sustainability Director at ALDI UK & Ireland, said: “We’re making our Too Good To Go bags even more accessible this Christmas and New Year. By allowing customers in Kildare to reserve their bags earlier than ever, we hope to provide even more people with affordable items that also help to reduce food waste.
“This partnership continues to play a vital role in supporting our sustainability goals, and it has been incredible to see how many customers now regularly use the service.”
Sophie Trueman, Country Director at Too Good To Go UK and Ireland, added: "We’re delighted to help ALDI and its customers save even more food from going to waste across this seasonal period. Not only does our win-win-win solution support ALDI in tackling surplus food, but it also enables customers to enjoy products at great value for money, all while making a positive impact on the planet."
In addition to its Too Good To Go partnership, ALDI’s Irish stores donate surplus food to local causes year round via its successful partnership with FoodCloud. On average each month, ALDI stores donate the equivalent of more than 100,000 meals to local charities and community groups across Ireland.
Christmas Opening Hours
ALDI stores are set to close on the December 25 and 26 for Christmas Day and St. Stephen’s Day, as well as New Year’s Day, January 1. However, shoppers will have plenty of time to stock up before Christmas, with stores open from 8am until 10pm in the lead up to Christmas Eve. Stores will also open until 7pm on Christmas Eve. Customers should check local store details on ALDI’s website to avoid disappointment.
