A new online only supermarket, Motatos, has launched in the UK as a budget retailer with some saying it’s a rival to Aldi and Lidl.
A new Swedish based supermarket is launched in the UK on 7 June 2022 and will rival other discounters.
With the cost of living rising and the other discounters not offering delivery, having the option to get groceries to your door may be just what you need.

Motatos supermarket
Motatos currently has online stores in Sweden, Finland, Germany and Denmark. However, it’s known as Matsmart there.
They are a food waste specialist offering food from wholesalers and distributers at a bargain price.
Prices can be so low as the stock is surplus. They also sell stock that has faulty or broken packaging, things that are seasonal (or out of season), short dated food, and food that has passed its best before date.
You can get pretty much anything from food for your pantry to cereals, coffee, spices, pets and household goods.
While discounts on their sites in Europe offer price reductions of up to 80% of the RRP on popular branded goods, the UK offers a slightly lower up to 60% off.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do your entire food shop at Motatoes as they don’t stock fresh meats and fish, fresh fruit and vegetables, anything refrigerated or any frozen foods.
So, although the online discounter has been referred to as a new Aldi or Lidl, it’s really nothing like them!

How much is delivery?
If they follow the same set up as in Europe, delivery is free on orders over £40 as long as it all fits into one box.
Otherwise, you need to pay £2.99 for delivery.
Delivery usually takes three to four working days, and they use DHL and Evri (formally Hermes).
It sounds very similar to the offering from Approved Food, where you can save up to 70% off the price of food.
For a more flexible shop, Approved Food which has been running a lot longer may be a better option at the time being.
