The supermarket confirmed on Twitter that that product is now discontinued. A shopper tweeted Aldi asking: "Still haven't got the Jelly Babies back though, have ya?" In response, the store said: "Unfortunately, this product has now been discontinued from our everyday range. "All Aldi products are under constant review and changes are frequently made. "Often these changes are as a result of customer comments such as yours." Gutted shoppers were taking to social media to express their disappointment. One said: "Here's hoping you get them back soon." While another wrote: "I managed to locate a new supplier of nice Jelly Babies since Aldi has done away with them." A third shopper said: "Bassett's jelly babies aren't that good. Tesco or Aldi ones are much better." We've asked Aldi when the sweets were discontinued and we'll update the piece once we know more. The sweets were 69p for a 230g bag, according to supermarket comparison site Priceable.co.uk. If you're a Jelly Babies fan, then you could try other retailers, though you may have to pay more. In comparison, Sainsbury's dupe costs £1.35 for a 225g sized bag and Tesco charges £1.10 for 250g. The original Maynard's Jelly Babies can cost anywhere from £1.50 to £2.50. Of course, prices and stock can vary from store to store and it's always worth shopping around to see if you can find it cheaper elsewhere. This isn't the first time the discount supermarket has discontinued products. In July, it "temporarily" removed its popular Battenberg cak){kind=link}
