Aldi shoppers have been left empty-handed after bosses admit Covid is causing week-long delays to its Specialbuys stock.
Aldi shoppers hunting for a bargain have been left empty-handed after bosses issued an apology for advertising Specialbuys stock which is not yet available in-store due to delays following the new Covid strain.
Bosses of the low-cost supermarket have issued an update on its website to inform savvy shoppers that not all of its Specialbuys stock is available as advertised.
The supermarket's aisle of Specialbuys like the Aldi air fryer normally flies off the shelves but Aldi bosses have been forced to make an announcement after 38 items previously advertised as in stock throughout January and February will experience week-long delays.

A statement on their website reads, 'Unfortunately some Specialbuys may not be available as advertised. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that these products will be available in-store and online very shortly.'
Among the items affected is Microwave Ovens, the Corner Shelf Organsier and the Bamboo Cutlery Tray that were supposed to be available on Thursday, January 21, and Coffee Glasses, a Teapot, Cafetiere, an Avocado Slicer and more, that were due to be stocked on Sunday, January 24.
It comes after shoppers had been looking for new products on the website before they launch in store but were unable to find anything.

In its question and answers section, Aldi explained the reason why is due to "disruption in our supply chain caused by the coronavirus".
The supermarket added, 'We are working with our suppliers to assume normal service. However, this is taking a little longer than we would have hoped. We would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience caused.'
