It said this was also a sign of customers "respecting and adapting to the restrictions".

Limits were put in place when shoppers began panic-buying over fears the coronavirus would mean necessities would disappear.   

Aldi did warn that a suspension on change of mind refunds remains in place until further notice for any of the sought-after items.

There are also still limits in place for liquor purchases at certain stores.
