It comes as Aldi discontinued an iconic candy dupe and shoppers are devastated.
The bargain supermarket is famous for creating knock offs of popular items.
From perfume, to beauty products and a selection of food products, Aldi has an array of dupes for shoppers to try,
But sadly one popular item is no longer available – and that’s Aldi’s Jelly Babies dupe.
The supermarket confirmed on Twitter that that product is now discontinued.
A shopper tweeted Aldi asking: “Still haven’t got the Jelly Babies back though, have ya?”
In response, the store said: “Unfortunately, this product has now been discontinued from our everyday range.
“All Aldi products are under constant review and changes are frequently made.
“Often these changes are as a result of customer comments such as yours.”
