Not fair! Aldi shopper with huge Special Buys haul sparks fury

A group of Aldi shoppers have slammed a man online after he bought a haul of Special Buys items in one go.

As keen shoppers rushed to the store to get a $69.99 Stand Mixer when they hit the shelves, many walked away empty handed due to limited stock.

However, an annoyed shopper who was disgruntled that they missed out took to Facebook to slam a man for buying six when they couldn’t even purchase one.

She posted to the Aldi Mums Facebook page explaining the situation.

“I went to Aldi this morning at 8.30 am to buy a stand mixer from Special Buys today,” she posted in the group.

“I end up having nothing at 8.35 am because of this. Is it fair? As per ALDI staff, they can't put any limits on Special Buys. That guy ended up buying six of the stand mixers.”

People in the group were quick to agree, saying that there should be a limit on how many you can purchase in one go.

“Two is ok but not six, they should limit it,” one user wrote on the post.

“Not fair at all. This always happens,” another user agreed.

Some commenters were curious as to why he had bought so many.

“And I bet he will sell them for more online. I hate people who do that,” one user commented.

Others jumped to the defence of the man, saying he can purchase whatever he likes.

“It's his business of why he had so many, not for the rest of Australia to judge,” one user wrote.

“Maybe he's the nominated shopper for the street? Maybe he has a big family? Maybe we should mind our own business,” another commented.

“Don't know who's worse… The guy with the trolley or the person taking the photo,” another added.
