Trending $3.99 item that’s got ALDI shoppers hooked: It's taking social media by storm

When finding a snack that hits the spot without breaking the bank, ALDI has become a go-to supermarket for many Australians, especially those who appreciate a good bargain.

But sometimes, a deal can be too good, leading to an amusing and relatable dilemma.


The latest product to attract the attention of Aldi enthusiasts is Sprinter's 'Crunchy Peanut Puffs,' which costs $3.99.

These puffs are so delectable that shoppers are finding themselves in a snack-induced quandary.

The Crunchy Peanut Puffs have been causing quite the commotion in ALDI fan groups on social media, where customers are voicing their 'concerns'.

Unlike the usual grievances about products being out of stock or past their best-before dates, the problem here is the sheer irresistibility of these snacks.

They're so good that shoppers are torn between rushing to the store to stock up and staying away to resist temptation.

One ALDI fan exclaimed on social media, 'Got this today, and they are absolutely delicious!'


This sentiment was echoed by many others, with one person humorously stating, 'I was concerned they would be delicious. I left them this week—might have to try their next shop.'

The original poster lamented the difficulty of putting the bag down, saying, 'They’re way too good. It's hard to stop eating them.'

The snack's popularity isn't just a fleeting moment.

Some customers have been fans for years, with one sharing, 'I got some a few years ago, was glad when I couldn't find them again, highly addictive.'

Interestingly, the Sprinter's Brand Peanut Puffs bears a striking resemblance to Bamba, a beloved Israeli snack that's found a home in the international aisles of Coles and Woolworths.

One shopper noted that the ALDI version is reminiscent of the Oktoberfest variety, expressing delight at not waiting for Aldi's annual German Week to indulge in her peanut puff cravings.


ALDI's knack for offering 'addictive' snacks isn't limited to the peanut puffs.

The supermarket chain has been on a roll, introducing a variety of new treats that have shoppers buzzing.

Take, for example, the Portuguese Tarts from the Sweet Haven brand, which went viral for their amazing taste and crispy pastry. Four tarts cost $5.

‘They are yummy, and the tart pastry is so crispy,’ one shopper said.

The return of the 99c Cake in a Mug also caused a stir, with one shopper humorously responding to the news of its comeback, 'Oh no! They are soooo good! And I just got over my addiction to them.'
