Aldi is offering a 'black card' which gives you free groceries for a year

Aldi is bringing out its own version of a 'black card' which will give one lucky shopper free groceries for a year!

Now, if you think this sounds too good to be true you might be right, because the catch is there is only one of these cards in existence.

How are Aldi deciding who gets it? Well, they want you to apply and prove you're their biggest super-fan.

They're not actually calling it a black card like Nando's and other chains, but instead they're dubbing it their ‘first-ever Superfan Card’.

To prove you're up to the job, Aldi is asking shoppers to send a 250 word explainer, citing why they deserve to be the winner.

You can give any reasoning you want. Maybe you love a middle aisle bargain, are the world's biggest Cuthbert the Caterpillar fan or perhaps you got engaged in your local branch?

You're gonna need a reason that'll make you stand out, because judges from Aldi will be looking over submissions and picking one UK winner to bag the one-off card.

In the current climate, imagine a year of free groceries... now, that would be a game-changer.

The card won't be totally without a limit (because, imagine the amount of Ballycastle cream liqueur you could buy with that?!).

Instead, they've worked out that the average amount spent a year on shopping is £4,124, according to the Office of National Statistics.

Rounding it up a little, they're gonna give the lucky recipient £500, which ends up as £417 a month. Pretty great.

Aldi confirms on its website: “Aldi’s Superfan Card will be worth £5,000 to ensure the winner can bag not just the essentials, but the exciting extras too – whether that’s an air-fryer, a new skincare routine, or a classic inflatable kayak!”

Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi, said: “We know how passionate our customers are about Aldi, and we wanted to find a way to give something truly special back to Aldi’s biggest fan.

“We can’t wait to see the creativity and enthusiasm in the entries. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we’re thrilled to be launching it."

If you wanna apply, you need to send your application to [email protected], citing your name, age and where you're from by 31st October at 11.59pm.

You've gotta be over 18, and the winner will be picked by 30th November 2024.

Good luck, Aldi fans! Your time is now.
