Aller faire les courses ou faire les courses

I note the examples of needing to go shopping use 

J’ai besoin d’aller faire les courses. Je dois aller faire les courses.

Another lesson on shopping used faire les courses without a preceding “aller”. Is there a difference in meaning?b.

This question relates to:French lesson "Devoir vs Avoir besoin de to express "to need to" in French"

No real difference. It is a bit like "to go shopping" and "to do the shopping".
