Airtasker and TaskRabbit
Two other sites where you can hire someone for an errand. Each sets its own fees, so check them on its own site before you book.
Do Aldi and Lidl deliver?
Neither of them, not really
Aldi does not sell groceries online at all. Lidl has an online shop, but it sells things like garden furniture and tools rather than a weekly food shop.
So for either of them, getting the shopping home comes down to going yourself or asking somebody to go for you.
How the two compare
| Aldi | Lidl | |
|---|---|---|
| Food delivered to your door | No | No |
| Anything sold online | No | Yes, but not food |
| Click and collect | Closed in August 2024 | No |
| On a delivery app | No | No |
| Getting a shop brought round | Ask someone local | Ask someone local |
Which is good news in one way: whoever fetches your Aldi shop can just as easily pop into Lidl on the way, if you ask.
Getting either one delivered
Other ways
Ask a neighbour properly
It need cost nothing, and someone nearby may be glad to be asked. A local Facebook or Nextdoor group is another place to ask.
Royal Voluntary Service or Age UK
Help with shopping for older people in some areas. Ask early what runs near you, and whether there is a charge.
A supermarket that does deliver
For a big weekly shop, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Iceland all deliver. You pay their prices, not Aldi's, but the van comes to you.
