UK -born snack brand Tyrrells has been pulled from Woolworths , Coles and IGA stores, without an official announcement. The change was spotted by a frustrated Reddit user who posted about it last Thursday. 'Gone from their shelves without warning or even clearance tags. Didn't even get a chance to stock up,' the user wrote. 'These were f****** good, made in Australia with Aussie potatoes, and at $3.80 for 165g. Price does what it says, without stupid price hikes and fake offers.' Other users echoed the disappointment. 'WHAT! OUTRAGE! They were the only chips I bought,' one comment read. 'These are the king of chips and I am heartbroken,' another said. 'Damn, that's really disappointing. They were the best chips on the shelves,' a third added. 'Absolutely unacceptable. These are the only good chips,' someone else chimed in. 'That's tyrell-ble,' another joked. Snackbrands Australia, the maker of Tyrrells, confirmed the brand has been discontinued due to low demand. 'We always aim to bring delicious snacks to our consumers in line with their needs, however we sadly had to retire the Tyrrells brand from market due to insufficient levels of consumer demand,' the company said in a statement.

Both Coles and Woolworths confirmed to they are no longer stocking Tyrrells chips. has also reached out to IGA for confirmation. Snackbrands said Tyrrells will still be available 'for the foreseeable future' in some Harris Farm stores, and suggested fans try their other products.

‘Climate change': Aldi defends controversial price hike after upping price on popular coffee range 30 per cent
Aldi has defended their decision to hike prices on a common pantry staple by up to thirty per cent due to 'global supply issues, climate change and economic pressures'. The German supermarket chain has long been many Aussie households' last line of defence against creeping inflation thanks to their no-frills, low cost alternatives to the big brands. As of June, Aldi has expanded to 599 stores nationwide and is now the country's third largest supermarket chain behind giants Coles and Woolworths. But even Aldi is not immune to the pressures of inflation, with the supermarket giant recently increasing prices on a range of its popular no-label alternatives. Among the impacted categories are the discount chain's award-winning coffee products. As of July 28, the cost of a 1kg pack of Aldi's Lazzio medium coffee bean variety has increased to $19.99, up from $14.99. A devoted Aldi shopper recently reported the sudden price increase on the Aldi Mums Facebook page. "Another big price rise. It was $14.99 last week," they wrote alongside a photo of the coffee on the shelf priced at $19.99. Awkwardly, Aldi had used the $14.99 sticker price as recently as October 2024 in its marketing materials to boast that shoppers could enjoy Lazzio 'for under $0.30 per cup'. In a statement to 9honey Kitchen, Aldi defended their decision to hike prices because "the cost of commodities required to produce coffee products has increased due to many factors including global supply issues, climate change and economic pressures". "As a result, our Lazzio coffee range has experienced adjustments in retail pricing,' the supermarket chain said. 'We are working hand in hand with our Business Partners to deliver the best value and highest quality products to Aussie shoppers.'
