ALDI shoppers are getting more and more choice as the discounter plans to open 21 stores across the UK in the next three months.

The discounter told The Sun it's aiming to open 130 new stores in 2019 and 2020, while the long-term target is to have 1,200 branches by 2025.

Earlier this month, Lidl announced it's planning to open 40 new stores in a move that will create 1,500 jobs.
This is part of a £500million expansion plan, and will see Lidl opening its first store in central London next summer.
Located on Tottenham Court Road, near Warren Street tube station, the supermarket's first store in London's zone one will include a 1,300m² sales area.
It will stock its full range of products, including its popular middle aisle items and goods baked in store.
Aldi is switching to paper and compostable carrier bags - but they cost up to 19p each.
The retailer has also brought back its school uniform package - and you can kit out your kids for just £4.50.
Meanwhile, a mum has posted a hilarious rant about the discounter - and why you should never shop there with kids.
