Aldi says it enjoyed a record Christmas – with sales boosted by half a million new shoppers last month.

Trading increased by 0.4% compared with the same period last year.

The supermarket’s also promising it’ll offer “the lowest prices” in 2022 as millions of households face a rise in the cost of living.

Meanwhile retailer Wilko is planning to close 15 stores across England and Wales this year.

The firm says 11 of the shops have another branch within five miles – and the closures won’t affect any new openings.

Bosses say they’re making this decision to “secure the future” of over 16-thousand staff.
