Something unexpected is happening in Aldi stores across Australia. Shoppers are stopping mid-aisle. Trolleys are filling fast. And one small item is causing a big reaction.

The Surprise Return Nobody Saw Coming

Last year, a fan favourite quietly vanished from shelves. The Colway Spicy Barbecue Sauce was gone, and loyal customers were not happy. Many assumed it was sold out. Others later learned it had been discontinued entirely.

Why Everyone Is Stocking Up

Now, the sauce is back. But there is a twist. It has returned as part of Aldi’s Special Buys range, meaning it is only available for a short time. That warning has sent shoppers into action. Social media is full of photos and comments from customers admitting they are buying multiple bottles in one trip. Some say they are not making the same mistake twice.

Priced at just $1.85, the sauce has become a cult hit all over again. Aldi has confirmed demand has been huge since its return, with customers snapping it up as soon as they see it. The message is clear. If you spot it in store, do not hesitate… Because this Saucey comeback might not last forever.
