Before it was bought out by the German company that also owns Aldi's,
it was like that. If you saw something that you liked, it was wise to
get as much of it as you could. It is a bit different now, in that
there isn't as much of a chance of it disappearing, but it can still
happen with products that don't sell well.

So, if you see a product you like, buy it, tell your friends to buy
it..and keep up the demand for it. Otherwise, the product could be
taken off the shelves due to lack of interest.

There are some products that I don't think they would dare remove from
their inventory, cause there would be a major outcry.
