Aldi is scrapping its click-and-collect service, after launching the scheme back in 2020.
Shoppers will be able to use the service for the last time on 18 August, The Grocer reported.
The discounter’s click-and-collect option saw staff members bring customers their online shopping order in the store’s car park for a fee of £4.99.
The grocery giant said scrapping the trial, which had been under review since its launch, would help it run its stores more efficiently and maintain a price advantage over its competitors.

A spokesman for the supermarket told the publication: “At Aldi, our focus is on providing customers with high-quality products at the lowest possible prices.
“One of the ways we keep our prices low for customers is by running the most efficient supermarket business in Britain. As a result, we’ve made the decision to bring our click-and-collect service to an end so we can focus on doing just that.”
Last year, Aldi scrapped its home delivery of alcohol and Specialbuys, after rolling out the service in 2015. In 2022, it also ended its grocery delivery partnership with Deliveroo.
