Aldi has announced price cuts across a range of products, including steak, and yoghurt and cheese products.

The retailer said that the price cuts are worth a total of €9 million to Irish shoppers.

The price reductions will reduce the cost of an average weekly shop by 20%, Aldi said.

The business said its latest price drops include products that are "perfect to enjoy during warm weather and long, sunny evenings".

Prices have been dropped across barbecue meats and sides; fruits and ice-cream; granola; and wines and ciders.

The retailer said the price cuts include steak, yoghurts, cheese, bottled water, and soft drinks.

Country managing director for Aldi Ireland Niall O'Connor said: "We've invested €30 million in price drops on over 500 products since January, which means Irish shoppers can benefit from even more savings at Aldi.

"We believe no one should have to choose between affordability, taste, and quality, and will always offer the best value to Irish shoppers, O'Connor added.

"We know that household budgets are still under pressure, and we believe that these latest price drops will make a real difference to Irish shoppers," he commented.

O'Connor said: "Our price drops are about giving money back to shoppers; making a weekly shop more affordable and delivering better value without compromising on quality."

Aldi said that the price cuts announced today "represent a commitment by Aldi to support its customers and will not impact the level of support or prices paid to any of its suppliers".

The retailer works with a network of over 330 Irish suppliers, who Aldi said "supply the highest quality meat; fish; fruit and vegetables; baked goods; frozen produce; and much more".

The price cuts totalling €9 million add to the €21 million in cuts the retailer has already announced since January.

Irish Wagyu beef

In May, Aldi, in partnership with ABP Food Group, announced plans to further increase its supply of Irish Wagyu beef at Aldi supermarkets in Ireland.

Speaking to Agriland at the time, John Curtin, group buying director for Aldi Ireland, explained why the supermarket is seeing a growing demand for Wagyu beef produced on Irish farms.

He said that market research from Aldi and ABP "identified a growing consumer demand of occasional, premium experiences at home".

"Together we set about making that available to our customers across the country," Curtain added.
