Supermarket giant Aldi will stop selling some of its popular 'special buys' promotions to areas in lockdown, following alarming news of massive crowds in Covid-ravaged western Sydney frantically chasing a series of in-store bargains.
Crowds at a packed Aldi in Blacktown this week shocked many online, especially with Sydney in extended lockdown as case numbers stemming from the Indian Delta variant of Covid-19 continue to rock the Harbour City.
Some of the reduced items up for grabs included discounted Bonds underwear and children's clothing.
Aldi's range of 'special buys' are usually in stores across Australia every Wednesday and Saturday, attracting scores of customers and often wild queues before the shop even opens.
But now select special buys won't be sold in areas in lockdown, which includes all of Greater Sydney, Wollongong, Central Coast, Shellharbour on the NSW south coast and the Blue Mountains.
