Aldi shoppers are being urged to check for a secret code on product labels that could help them save money on their shopping. The code, a small letter 'D' located in the top-right corner of pricing labels, indicates that a product is soon to be discontinued. Once the item sells out, it will not be restocked, making it a limited-time opportunity for bargain hunters.
What the 'D' Code Means
According to Aldi expert Jordon Cox, also known as @couponkiduk on Instagram, the 'D' on price labels signals that the product is being phased out. He explained: 'On pricing labels, if you see a 'D' in the top right corner, that item's being discontinued. So when the shelf is cleared, they won't be restocking!' This hack is particularly useful for spotting deals on Specialbuys and limited-time items, but it can also appear on everyday products throughout the store.
How to Use the Hack
Cox advises shoppers to keep an eye out for the 'D' code and act quickly if they see a product they want. He added: 'You'll often find this on Specialbuys and limited time items, but sometimes you'll see this around other places in the shop too! If it's something you want, and it's a good deal - stock up before it's sold out.' He also noted that this trick 'could save you a bit of money... or turn your supermarket shopping into a bit of a game.'
Shopper Reactions
The tip has generated buzz on social media, with many shoppers expressing regret for not knowing the hack sooner. One user, Sarah Golding-Keanne, commented: 'I wish I knew that yesterday.' Another shopper, Dorothy, wrote: 'Ohhh I wish I knew this before they discontinued the rocky road bites. They were one of their best cakes.' However, some shoppers like Steven were already aware of the code, remarking: 'It's not a secret!'
This simple yet effective strategy can help Aldi customers save money and snag their favorite items before they disappear from shelves. Keep an eye out for that small 'D' on your next shopping trip.
