ALDI makes exclusive items that can't be found anywhere else, leaving shoppers out of luck when things are discontinued.
The grocery store has an everchanging inventory, constantly offering new options to shoppers.

In order to bring in new merchandise, other items have to be pulled from shelves.
While customers are always excited about new items, it can be hard to part ways with their old favorites.
The U.S. Sun has rounded up four sweet treats that Aldi has discontinued but fans are still holding out hope for.
1. VANILLA DESSERT HUMMUS
The grocery store first started selling the dip in April 2020, and they have been on and off of shelves since then.

Fans often ate the dessert with cookies or fruit, or those with an extra sweet tooth enjoyed it by the spoonful.
In March, Aldi launched two new dessert hummus flavors; carrot cake and chocolate cherry cheesecake, according to Mashed.
They were both gluten-free and vegan to accommodate as many customers as possible.
They were only available for a limited time.

Currently, the dessert hummus is not listed on Aldi's website.
2. RED VELVET BROWNIES
This seasonal item had shoppers in a chokehold.
They couldn't get enough of the treat, and one person even called it "a thing of beauty."
And then they disappeared from shelves.
"About to have a mental breakdown because Aldi have discontinued the red velvet brownie," one person tweeted earlier this month.
Back in February, someone else wrote: "Rlly want aldi red velvet brownies but I haven't seen them in months sigh."
3. COOKIE DOUGH
Aldi used to sell refrigerated cookie dough to bake at home.
There were several options like snickerdoodle and oatmeal cranberry, as shown in a tweet.
"I'm kinda addicted to the Aldi cookie dough. I keep thinking about it," tweeted one person back in 2021.
The store no longer carries the cold dough, but if you don't mind a little extra work you can buy a cookie dough mix from Aldi's own Baker's Corner brand.
4. FUDGE MINT COOKIES
These cookies were a popular dupe for Thin Mints.
They could cure cravings for Thin Mints months after the Girl Scouts stopped selling cookies.
And for just a buck a box, they were also much more affordable.
"Just a gal who enjoys the finer things in life i.e. Aldi's knock off thin mints," one person tweeted.
Aldi confirmed that the cookies were discontinued in late 2019 in a tweet.
In response, one fan wrote: "The demise of Aldi's Thin Mints has broken my heart."
