Aldi Easter lunch: Budget supermarket’s £8 roast lamb family dinner is now live

Lamb is on the menu for many this Easter weekend - and Aldi is helping out families with a special deal. As households juggle finances with fun activities, the budget supermarket is offering a whole leg of lamb for just £6.19 per kg.

And to go with the meat, the chain has also revealed cost-cutting veggies such as potatoes, carrots and parsnips, with prices starting from as little as 8p - their ‘Easter Super Six’ offer is available from Tuesday (March 31) meaning shoppers can now pick up all of their Easter veg for less than 50p. The firm said hungry Easter foodies could bag a bank holiday roast for just £2 per head.

Aldi said its tender Whole Leg of Lamb is “packed full of flavour and offers the ultimate main for a crowd-pleasing Easter roast at an unbeatable price”, with the Easter Super Six deal returning to stores until April 5, “boasting all shoppers need for a true Easter feast”.

The offers include:

• Nature’s Pick British White Potatoes (8p, 2kg) - was £1.32, saving 94%
• Nature’s Pick British Carrots (8p, 1kg) - was 69p, saving 88%
• Nature’s Pick XL Garlic (8p, each) - was 39p, saving 79%

“Aldi partners with British growers and uses fixed-cost pricing to ensure they receive a fair price, no matter the season,” a spokesperson said. “This commitment allows Aldi to offer shoppers the best savings without compromising on quality or fairness.

“That means those looking to enjoy a classic roast dinner this Easter can secure all they need for £8 for a family of four.”
