Galashiels, Scottish Borders
Aldi on King Street, Galashiels
Does this shop deliver? No.
This is one of the quieter spots, with 15,208 people living within three miles, so it is worth giving a bit more notice when you ask. The largest place nearby is Gorebridge and Mayfield, 19,603 people, about 18.8 miles north north west. Aldi will not bring it, so somebody else has to, and that part is easy.

Other ways
Airtasker and TaskRabbit
Big names with plenty of people signed up in the cities. Fees come in later on, so it is worth reading the total twice.
Ask a neighbour properly
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.
A supermarket that does deliver
For a big weekly shop, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Iceland all bring it round. You give up the Aldi prices, but the van comes to you.
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.
See this shop on Aldi's site
Their own page for King Street, Galashiels carries the opening times straight from Aldi, along with the button that sets it as your shop so the ranges you see match what is actually on these shelves.
Have a look at the range
Worth a browse before you write your list, so you can name the things you want rather than leaving it to guesswork. The middle aisle changes twice a week.
