Aldi shoppers stock up on nostalgic £1.59 Special Buy that 'takes them straight back to childhood'

Aldi shoppers can't wait to get their hands on a retro £1.59 Special Buy that is taking them back to their childhood. The £1.59 snack first became popular in the 1930s, and was consequently a household staple in the decades that followed.

Roses Lime Marmalade was particularly popular with the older generations, and Aldi shoppers recall being given it at their grans' houses at teatime. As the marmalade became less popular, it gradually phased out from supermarket shelves.

However, Aldi is now stocking the Roses Lime and Lemon and Lime Marmalade jars as a £1.59 Special Buy. It was shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook page, where it received a glowing reception from shoppers.

Karen Barbaccia gushed: "Used to love this." Tina Marie Mccoy said: "Best marmalade."

Namdac Asiuol wrote: "My nana always had the lemon and lime- will get some thanks." Laurie Alexandra wrote: "The lemon and lime one takes me back to my childhood. I've no idea why as we never used marmalade in our house, but evidently it came into my life at some point and just the smell of it takes me back."

Lesley Austin reminisced: "Roses lime always reminds me of my nan." Tracy Geary said: "My absolute favourite."

Paris Jayne said: "I used to love this as a child." Margaret Bowden commented: "I love it too but the sugar content is very high. Sixty years ago, I enjoyed it when we went to stay with relatives who were much better off than us."
