Today about 2.30pm, no queue at all in Aldi. I'm assuming because more people back at work and some children back at school.
Sadly, they've dispensed with the lovely guy who was cleaning trolley handles and giving them out with a smile, while controlling the queue at the same time.
Stock was pretty good but no broccoli. Cabbage seems thin on the ground too for some weeks. I wonder if it's a picking rather than a growing problem. 😉☹️0 -
Something I haven't seen in either Lidl or Aldi for a couple of weeks is the own-brand bath soak. There are big gaps where these are supposed to be, but luckily there is plenty of handwash.No man is worth crawling on this earth.

We couldn't get bubble bath in our Aldi either. Strange, must be a supplier issue.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0 -
They didn't have ironing water either. I wonder if the factories that make this type of thing have turned production over to sanitisers and the like.
I know this sounds like a first world problem but our water is so hard, it really helps.0 -

Not seen tinned meatballs in Aldi or Lidl for a few weeks either.0

Another Aldi product that seems to have vanished is its own brand Bramwell's barbecue sauce. It clearly hasn't been discontinued as the local branches have empty shelf space and 'temporarily unavailable' stickers.
Completely off topic, Rose's lime cordial (the only one not stuffed with synthetic sweeteners - thanks David Cameron ) is also currently out of production for unknown reasons. It's only a guess but I wonder if the factories producing these missing products cannot meet the 'social distancing' or other new rules? .0 -
