ALDI shoppers are begging for the return of an iconic sweet treat axed from the supermarket’s shelves.
The budget chain appears to have stopped selling Gianni’s Mini Viennese Vanilla Ice Creams.
Posting on Twitter, Aldi customer Jen said she would “sell my soul” for the ice creams.
Jen said: “Hey Aldi – any plans to bring back these soon please? Thank you, hugs and kisses.
When an Aldi spokesman said he would look into it, Jen replied: “I’ll sell you my soul for them.”
Aldi’s website still has a listing for five-packs of the Mini Viennese ice creams – but the “Add to Basket” button is greyed-out.
It described the sweet treat as a “vanilla flavour ice cream with chocolate flavour layers specially produced for Aldi”.
Shoppers can still buy ice creams including a 15-pack of Gianni’s Family Favourites on Aldi’s website.
It comes after Aldi confirmed a “lush” summer favourite has also been axed.
Taurus Cherry Cider in a four-pack of 440ml cans is currently out of stock at the supermarket and cannot be bought in store or online.
The own-brand cider had previously led to legal trouble for German discounter Aldi.
An Aldi spokesperson said the drink was part of a special seasonal range and offered hope that it could one day return.
The supermarket giant had been selling the drink between £3.49 and £4.75 across Britain.
Fans have previously described the cider as “lush” in a Facebook group made up of Aldi champions.
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store’s times by using the supermarket’s online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
