    Aldi nappies - is there a shortage again?

    We went to 2 different Aldi's today in Sydney trying to get some mediums (the green pack) and both stores were out.

    Anyone else having a prob getting them? If not what stores have them - in Sydney?

    thanks

    My local Aldi doesn't have those ones atm either - actually, for several weeks now. I've had to buy the red pack instead. I'm at North Rocks.

    YES!!!! I have been having to go back and forth to find the ones we need and have even had to go to woolies to get DD and DS nappies on different occaisions. It sucks we pay twice the amount for crappier nappies that don't last half as long! GRRRR!!!!

    Yes there seems to be a green shortage at our Aldi too. Found some at another Aldi (city centre) a couple of weeks later, thought the drought had broken BUT last week there were none at our shop again. Lucky I bought a few extra despite my DH giving me heaps at the time. .

    Am going to check in town again this week as I have a sneaking suspicion that the nappy shortage applies to our "nappy valley" area and not others, kwim?

    Wouldn't suprise me if there is a shortage now, as anyone who reads this thread will rush off and stock up

    We were in Canberra almost two weeks ago and we got some then as they had loads. Seems to be Sydney with the shortage!

    I only want them as night ones as i have just started using cloth but it is annoying that they are hard to get!

    Trish - which store did you go to? You can pm me if you don't want to post on the forum.

    I noiced the store at Richmond didn't have any also. Which is a bit of a bugger as I use those for Isla at night & just put the last one on her. Not to worry I have plenty of cloth, she just seemed to sleep better in the sposies but I guess now I can try cloth at night again & see how she goes.

    MO2U2: yes that's when I was able to get them too, but since then there's none here again.

    We had this problem a week or two back and then when I went the next week they had some so I bought two packets. We only use them at night and when he's with his Nan so hopefully we'll have enough to get us through the shortage.
