Aldi makes massive change to Specialbuys and shoppers aren’t happy

The supermarket giant will soon no longer have its middle-aisle products available for home delivery.

This means you’ll have to take your chances shopping in-store rather than being able to find exactly what you want online at the touch of a button.

That’s quite the blow for the customers who want to get their hands on heftier things like the famous hanging egg chairs or pizza ovens.

And if something very popular sells out in your local store – cough cough, egg chairs – it seems you’ll just have to try your luck at another location.

The Aldi website reads: ‘Like Take That, the Creme Egg McFlurry and a Freddo for 10p, all good things must come to an end.

‘While we understand this is disappointing, right now Aldi is more committed than ever to delivering Everyday Low Prices across the entire Aldi range, when our customers need it most.

‘But do not worry! You’ll still be able to shop our amazing range of Specialbuys in store, with new delights landing every Thursday and Sunday and now with almost 1,000 stores across the UK, we’ll be ready to welcome you with open arms (and more middle-aisle magic!).

‘Thank you for your support during this transition.’

At the time of writing, some Specialbuys are still available to order online, but it’s not been confirmed how long this will last – so enjoy it while you can.

Plenty of fans of the brand aren’t best pleased with this new development, as comments under a post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargaining Facebook group show.

‘That’s great news for those of us who are disabled,’ reads one sarcastic comment.

Another person wrote: ‘Let the carnage begin in December with everyone going in-store getting their Kevin The Carrot.’

‘It’s to get you in-store to buy more stuff you don’t need,’ said a third.
