Airtasker reports 120% uptick in Aldi delivery jobs, as shoppers seek a bargain during COVID-19

Savvy shoppers in locked-down Victoria are turning to odd-jobs marketplace Airtasker to get Aldi groceries delivered to their doors.

Airtasker has seen a 120% uptick in users seeking people to pick up and deliver items from the budget supermarket, amid COVID-19 shopping restrictions.

Currently, in stage four restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne, only one person from each household can go shopping for essentials each day, and that person can only make one trip.

People are also restricted to shopping within 5km from their home, meaning the closest Aldi may be out of reach for the time being.
