With football fever gripping the nation ahead of the World Cup kick-off on 11^th June, Aldi, recently named Which? Best Value Brand of the Year[4], is predicting record-breaking beer sales as shoppers stock up for the tournament.

Between 11^th June and 19^th July, the supermarket expects to sell over a staggering 74 million cans of beer across the tournament – that’s over 1,330 cans every single minute, or enough cans to line the length of 72,705 football pitches end-to-end.

Fans looking to stock up for big-screen viewing parties at home can pick up Aldi’s award-winning own-label lagers, including Sainte Etienne Premium Lager (£3.39, 4 x 440ml) and Galahad Lager (£2.99, 4 x 440ml), offering great value compared to branded alternatives.

It’s not just beer expected to fly off the shelves. Aldi predicts shoppers will snap up over 14 million pizzas and more than 9 million packs of crisps during the tournament, as football fans turn to easy, shareable matchday bites.

For an unbeatable spread, fans can pick up Aldi’s fan-favourite Carlos Takeaway Pizzas (£2.49, 557g) in Meat Feast, Pepperoni and Big Cheese, alongside Snackrite Deltas Tortilla Chips (89p, 200g) in Cool, Salted, Chilli and Tangy Cheese – saving 64% versus Doritos.

Aldi’s range of beers, pizzas and crisps are available in stores nationwide now.
