Other ways
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.
Free volunteer shopping for older and housebound people in lots of areas. Well worth asking about early.
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.
Whoever goes for you will get on far better with a list that names things. These are Aldi's own pages.
Their own page for Cymmer Road, Porth 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.
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.
