An Xmas Charity offer from Aldi UK

I'm 99% sure that this is genuine. It's being shown on a number of local newspaper websites and the contact name's details are definitely genuine.

It has been in The News today that The Coop are selling all of their best by date.. dried food, cans, crisps etc off for 10 pence.. I would think more of them if they also donated their food to the needy  as Morrison's, Aldi..Tesco and M and S do and have done for a long time.. Seems like a cynical gimmick to be doing at Xmas time..

    Mercury

    The Coop offered the food to the food banks for free, but the food banks refused it because it was past it's "best before"

    date. So the Coop said rather than the food going to Land Fill sites they would see if people wished to buy it for 10 pence

    per item, giving food bank users the choice.

The other supermarkets have donated their left over food for years.. They just don't advertise it around Xmas.. that's the cynic in me...

      I'm Aldi & Lidl & Markets, the others are robdogs, but the cynic in me wonders how picky are the food banks.??

In my experience, they're not at all picky. They'll take whatever they can get hold off and will always put it to good use.
