Aldi set for ‘biggest Christmas ever’ as price-conscious customers flock to discounter

The discounter, which attracted an extra 1.5 million new customers and was named the fastest-growing supermarket in the 12 weeks to October by Kantar’s most recent market share data, also predicts it will shift more than 38 million pigs in blankets.
