Several people have reported being unable to buy cheap essentials like milk and herbs. It comes as prices continue to increase due to the cost of living crisis.
One shopper took to social media express her worry as she’s noticing her favourite items disappearing over the last couple of weeks. It's safe to say she's worried.

The shopper wrote on a Facebook group for fans of the supermarket: “I’ve just come back from Aldi. The shelves are looking emptier by the week. No soya milk sweetened version for weeks. No sweetened almond milk for two weeks. Cranberry juice is very hit and miss and has been for weeks. I love Aldi but whatever is happening?”
Jen Runnalls replied: "Asda was the same yesterday. Shelves were empty. The biscuit aisle was dire in particular. Couldn’t get a dried herb I was after either. I was doing my mum and dads shopping and there was a lot on there I couldn’t get." Debbie Hutler vented: "Ours is same biscuit aisles empty freezers are empty no sauces hardly any meat it's getting worse."
Another commenter said: "My husband works for Aldi. They struggle to get certain items for weeks now. Not their fault. Also, they are seeing record number of new people through the doors switching to cheaper supermarkets. They can’t get enough staff to fill the vacancies either. It’s all due to the war. It’s worldwide shortages."
Tracy Wheeler wrote: "It’s ALL supermarkets having shortages, not just Aldi. You need to unfortunately shop around for certain items. Also consider that a lot of people shop at the weekend in most stores if they work Monday to Friday."
Elaine Burton said: "Our local Aldi is getting busier, we now have to queue to get a parking space and we all have to shuffle in the aisles, heaven help someone who needs to double back as they’ve forgotten something. I’ve not been able to get courgettes from any super market for weeks."
Jackie Childs commented: "I went to Aldi's in Plympton yesterday afternoon never seen it so busy i asked the cashier is it always this busy on a Saturday he said yes but tomorrow Sunday 10 times worse i will go week days in future so that could be why shelves are so empty."
Sarah Elizabeth Tessyman said: "Sainsburys was the same, I normally get unsweetened Almond Milk and the only one available was the Alpro! Own brand hasn't been in stock for weeks."
Janice Shewhobakes said: "It's not just Aldi....I was in a large tesco in North London yesterday and the shelves were stripped, especially of their own products."
The House of Commons Commons transport committee has warned that the Government is 'sleepwalking' into another lorry crisis unless urgent action is taken, says the Mirror. This could lead to more shortages at supermarkets.
An Aldi spokesperson said the store had good availability in its supermarkets. More and more Brits are struggling to pay their bills amid the rising cost of living and record high inflation rates. Many have been left strapped for cash at the supermarket, with the price of daily essentials on the rise.
Tesco and ASDA have also been approached for comment.
