Aldi take swipe at Tesco over Clubcard prices after 1p discount tweet

Aldi has thrown shade at another supermarket after a Twitter user sarcastically pointed out a ‘tremendous’ saving of 1p on a Specialbuys product. The budget retailer responded to a social media user mocking the discount by taking a swipe at Tesco.

Steven Marley, who is a photographer, shared a photo of some Lenor fabric conditioner in the middle aisle, which had been reduced from £1.99 to £1.98. He joked: “Tremendous bargains at @AldiUK today - don’t miss out.”

Tesco has found itself in hot water with shoppers over its Clubcard prices in recent weeks, which offers discounts on various items exclusive to those with a loyalty card.

One shopper described the Clubcard prices as ‘dreadful’ after spotting a product that she said costs £40 if you don't have a Clubcard, but only £16 if you do.

However, the free card offers access to thousands of exclusive deals on products, from everyday staples like fruit and veg to treats like prosecco and ice-cream.
