Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

What is the Aldi baby and toddler event?
The Aldi baby and toddler event showcases all the essentials, and all the fun stuff too, that they have in store. New parents can save big with this budget supermarket event, from art supplies to nappies and everything in between. The event runs both online and in-store, but products do sell out so make sure you’re quick to snap up your favourites before they’re all gone.
How often does the event take place?
In recent history, the event has taken place twice a year and is only available for a limited time. In 2022 and 2023 the event saw great success, so we have high hopes the deals will match up this year. We have our fingers crossed that there will be more upcoming events this year too, but Aldi has yet to confirm specific dates.
