$7 Aldi Bulk Buys kitchen item Aussies begging for returns
A popular kitchen item from a German supermarket chain is finally back on shelves after customers begged for its return. Aldi's popular Bulk Household Special Buys range is back from July 16 and it is set to feature the fan favourite Goliath 300m Cling Wrap. The cling wrap retails for $6.99. Customers have been begging for the item's return, with some revealing it had lasted them more than two years. 'Finally finished the 300m cling wrap after two years and three months,' one Aldi fan revealed. 'And then hubby bought the 600m today. Guess we don't need another box for four-and-a-half-years.' Another declared the item 'worth it' after purchasing it for her family of six. 'You can see they lasted us a while and still looks like there is a fair bit on each roll. I'd hate to think how many 30m rolls at Coles or Woolworths I would have bought at that time for $5 I would have bought in that time.' The cling wrap was given a 78 per cent rating by CHOICE after it noted no pulling or tearing with use, and a 'good sealing performance'. Other items in the Bulk Household Special Buys include the $10.99 Baking Paper 90m. the $16.99 Aluminium Foil 150m, $24.99 Laundry Powder 5kg and the $7.99 Super Strength Dishwashing Liquid 3L. In 2022, customers were stunned to discover there was a cling wrap cutter hidden at the end of the roll. 'Whoever the clever person was that mentioned the cling wrap cutter … a thousand thanks,' one woman shared, after being directed to it by another fan. In a second image it showed if customers opened the side of the box, it was hidden inside the roll. Hundreds of social media comments rolled in, with many stunned at the revelation. 'OMG I just found it after using the cling wrap for at least six months,' one person said. 'I just wasted a bit just to see how easily it cut.' The Goliath Cling Wrap 30m, which retails for $1.65, comes with a standard cutter and is part of the every day range. However, the 300m is part of the Special Buys and the cutter is found inside the tube.

Aldi Australia's most popular kitchen buy ever is finally back - and it's just $6.99
After months of hope, bargain-loving Aldi shoppers are finally getting what they asked for. Next week marks the return of a cult-status kitchen buy that lasts for years, costs just a few cents per metre, and is one of the store's most in-demand buys. From Wednesday, July 16, Aldi will re-stock its infamous Goliath 300m Cling Wrap as part of its Bulk Household Special Buys, and long-time shoppers are already clearing space in their pantries. At just $6.99 for 300 metres (that's less than 2.5 cents per metre), it's no wonder this jumbo-sized roll of cling wrap has achieved cult status among Aussie households. One fan, from the popular Aldi Mums Facebook page, bragged that her roll lasted an impressive two years and three months. 'Finally finished the 300m cling wrap after 2y3m!' she wrote. 'And then the hubby bought the 600m today. Guess we won't need another box for 4.5 years.' Even consumer watchdog CHOICE gave it a solid thumbs-up in their last wrap comparison, scoring it 78 per cent for performance, praising its strength, seal, and microwave durability. The massive wrap roll is part of a larger money-saving line-up landing at Aldi, which also includes: 90m Baking Paper ($10.99) and 150m Aluminium Foil ($16.99). However, while one favourite makes its return, others are becoming increasingly hard to find. This month the much-loved frozen corn cobs and the popular Choceur Milk Chocolate Mini Bars have all but disappeared, much to shoppers dismay. Sold in packs of 11 'mini' chocolate bars, one customer described the milk chocolate that features a luscious milk crème filling as a 'Kinder replica'. Taking to a Reddit thread dedicated to Aldi Australia, a woman wrote a concerned post under the heading: 'Please don't tell me they got rid of these?' Sharing a product image of the Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars packet, she wrote: 'I feel like they suddenly disappeared from all stores – I've been buying them for years.' 'They're my number one guilty pleasure,' she added, alongside two 'sobbing' emojis. Commenters quickly chimed in, adding that they too had also recently noticed the product's absence. 'Noooo! I was wondering why I couldn't find these anymore,' replied one commenter. But in positive news for chocolate-lovers, it seems chocolate's in-store disappearance is only 'temporary'. An Aldi Australia spokesperson told FEMAIL that Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars have indeed been removed from shelves - but only for the time being. 'There has been a temporary disruption to the supply of the customer favourite Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars,' the Aldi spokesperson explained. 'However shoppers can anticipate its return to shelves around the end of September.' The frozen corn cobs on the other hand, aren't discontinued, they're just much harder to find, it seems. Earlier this week, disappointed shoppers took to Reddit again to share their struggle to locate frozen corn cobs at Aldi and discuss rumours of a shortage in supply to the budget supermarket chain. It began when a shopper uploaded a post titled: 'So what happened to frozen corn cobs???' Shoppers were puzzled that frozen corn cobs appeared to have disappeared, while bags of frozen corn kernels still appeared to be plentiful. Aldi sells Market Fare Corn Kernels in a 1kg bag for $4.19 Aldi stocks frozen Market Fare Corn Cobs in a 1kg bag, priced at $4.59. The budget supermarket also sells Market Fare Corn Kernels in a 1kg bag, priced at $4.19. FEMAIL reached out to Aldi for comment on this one too, with a spokesperson confirming they were 'not experiencing a shortage' - despite some shopper's recent difficulties locating the product. 'Our Market Fare Australian Corn Cobs are a much-loved item across our stores,' they said. 'While we are not experiencing a shortage, if customers can't get hold of our frozen product and are looking for alternatives, they can try our fresh The Good Stuff Sweet Corn Cobbettes or New Season Corn Kernels that you can grab off our shelves.' Nevertheless, the Reddit post was met with sympathetic replies from fellow shoppers who agreed that they too had recently struggled to find the popular frozen vegetable in their local Aldi store. Some hypothesised that they believed the missing item was a result of broader 'seasonal' and 'supply' issues, but an Aldi shelf stacker put their minds at ease with one encouraging comment. He claimed that they had personally placed 'three boxes of cobs into our [store] freezer yesterday, so they still exist at least for now'.
