Strict restrictions at Hungarian Aldi: 1 l milk,1 kg potato can be bought at a time
A sign has been put up to inform customers about the new restrictions on products with a price cap. But they were also in vain: there were Aldi supermarkets where there were no eggs left. Among the harsh restrictions, you can now only buy 1 kg of potatoes and 1 litre of milk at a time.
A week before Christmas, Aldi has been forced to limit the amount of its price capped products available for purchase. The supermarket chain has introduced quite severe restrictions, Portfolio reports. They say that this will help them to ensure a steady flow of goods, szmo.hu writes. The following quantities of foodstuffs with a price cap are now available at Aldi:
- Potatoes: 1 kg or 1 packet
- Oil: 1 litre
- Granulated sugar: 1 kg
- Chicken backs: 1 tray
- Eggs: 1 carton or 1 tray
- Milk: 1 litre
- Chicken breast: 1 tray or 1 packet
- Leg of pork: 1 tray or 1 packet
- Flour: 1 kg
When contacted by Portfolio, Aldi wrote that they would like to ensure that all consumers have access to the price capped products. The quantity restrictions apply equally to all Aldi stores in Hungary.

Appalling – 3rd World STUFF.
Bought on by the way the Government of Hungary under Victor Orban has “forced” us to live.
In last few days spent in central Vienna – Aldi, SPA, Billa, Ledl – we went to ALL and none not any of these RESTRICTION policies in place at these Supermarkets.
Sugar in Vienna – how much would you like – mass amounts of it in Supermarkets.
Hungarians – tolerance and patience understanding times we live, but what we are being asked – driven through this Orban Government, its destruction of relationships across the broad spectrum of business and industry – the ECONOMY and in this case Supermarket Food Suppliers just appalling.
WHAT next I ask and we just sit back and TOLERATE it – Disgusting and quite Humiliating – the on-going treatment being handed out to millions of us Hungarians, which will WORSEN – through this Orban led Government.
It is indeed sad that there are restrictions in Hungary in this way. Next time I checked, we were not at war. What is this government doing?? Seriously. They are useless and this economic situation shows their utter incompetency.
Price caps inevitably lead to shortages.
The EU and their sanctions will destroy Europe’s economy.
Sooner or later common sense will have to prevail.
It is the EU sanctions forced by the US and supported by all governments (also Orbán and Fidesz) in Europe who are causing a total destruction of all European countries. Deindustrialization, total economical dependence, is the goal of the globalist elite, enforced by the US.
Hungary should be out of the EU, NATO and all other anti-Hungarian hostile treaties. We have to built food independence and in all other strategic area’s. Orbán had 12 years and a lot of EU money to realize this, but he didn’t do it. Clearly this was not his goal.
This article is just about 1 franchise. Is there the same restriction in other shops? At the piac? Is there a delivery shortage (such as we have had in my province in Canada many times which created empty shelves for days at a time, then resolved as instantly as they started). Is there a problem of greedy behavior of people hording food from stores in freezers like Hungarians, Romanians etc do here, thinking incorrectly that they are saving money? Or, is it a plan to create desire thru pretense shortages to make people then over-shop later when prices are no longer capped? If there is a clearer understanding of the actually problems, it will be easier to respond correctly. There are no Aldis in my province that I have ever heard of. Did shop in them during my winters in Florida.
