Aldi has partnered with The Menopause Charity and expert nutritionist Tammy Gee of Seven Colours of Nutrition to help women feel supported through menopause without stretching their spending, as research reveals that women across the UK have wasted an average of £122 on menopause products and treatments they’ve found to be ineffective*.
Ahead of World Menopause Day, the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket has launched a brand-new Menopause Hub featuring a host of advice on how to navigate menopause on a budget. It features a series of pocket-friendly meal ideas, simple shopping list inspiration, nutritional guidance and no-nonsense, practical tips on how to make small, affordable changes to nutrition and lifestyle to feel your best.
It comes as new research by Aldi reveals that one in four women are feeling the financial strain associated with menopause treatment, with a third having to reduce household spending elsewhere to allow for the cost of supplements and therapies.**
The results show that half of women (50%) feel they lack information about food and diet support during menopause and instead are reaching for more expensive options, with one in five buying food products marketed specifically as menopause friendly, and 60% spending regularly on supplements.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “Our goal at Aldi is to make nutritious food accessible to everyone, at every stage of their lives. By working with The Menopause Charity and Tammy Gee, we want to communicate the simple message, that menopause support doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. We want to provide women with simple, practical, affordable ways to support their diet during menopause and beyond.
“It’s reassuring to see through the research that over half of women in the UK believe that everyday foods should play a greater role in their menopause journey. We hope our hub helps them make positive changes as they fill their baskets.”
Jenny Haskey, Chief Executive at The Menopause Charity, said: “At The Menopause Charity, we want to ensure every woman has access to clear, trusted information and feels supported through every stage of menopause. Too many women are left to navigate this transition alone, often feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice or priced out of effective support. This partnership with Aldi is about breaking down barriers – helping women feel informed, empowered and confident during this stage in life.”
Tammy Gee, founder of Seven Colours of Nutrition said: “Good nutrition can be a powerful tool in navigating symptoms such as tiredness and brain fog – but Aldi’s research shows too many women feel they lack guidance. From eating balanced meals with wholegrains and lean protein, to including omega-3-rich foods, small, affordable swaps really do add up. These shopping tips and easy recipes are designed to empower women to feel more resilient every day.”

In addition, Aldi has donated £10,000 to The Menopause Charity, which provides trusted information and support to help women navigate every stage of menopause. This coincides with a £10,000 commitment to Teenage Cancer Trust to help support young people affected by cancer, some of whom experience early or temporary menopause as a result of treatment.
Aldi also has two new Specialbuys on sale this month from the Silentnight Restore collection. Designed by women, for women, the range helps address one of the toughest symptoms – disrupted sleep. The cooling gel body pad and bedding offer soothing comfort, making them ideal for restless sleepers and those experiencing night sweats.
* £122 is the average amount spent by women who have experienced menopause on products, treatments, or services that did not help or whose benefits were unclear, based on responses to a survey of 1,000 women.
* * Consumer research of 1,000 UK adults who are currently experiencing or have previously experienced menopause/perimenopause was carried out by OnePoll in September 2025.
