CASTLE DOUGLAS, Dumfries and Galloway
Aldi on Oakwell Park, CASTLE DOUGLAS
Does this shop deliver? No.
This is one of the quieter spots, with 5,270 people living within three miles, so it is worth giving a bit more notice when you ask. The largest place nearby is Dumfries, 33,288 people, about 15.0 miles north east. Aldi will not bring it, so somebody else has to, and that part is easy.

Big names with plenty of people signed up in the cities. Fees come in later on, so it is worth reading the total twice.

The cheapest answer of all, and people are usually pleased to be asked. Local Facebook and Nextdoor groups are full of these.
Royal Voluntary Service or Age UK
Free volunteer shopping for older and housebound people in lots of areas. Well worth asking about early.

Write your list before you ask
Whoever goes for you will get on far better with a list that names things. These are Aldi's own pages.
