The post soon attracted more than 2,400 comments and almost 2,000 likes, as reported by the Manchester Evening News.

In the comment section, fellow users were quick to give their opinion.

User Heike Mackenzie wrote: "Probably most panic buyers are so stocked up after. Now it’s the sensible peoples turn to get a bargain and go surfs you panic buyers right cos you got no space to store this bargain."

"Here we go again?! Toilet paper and pasta. I’ll have to have a look at my local Aldi," posted Rebecca Singh.

Kirsty McLean shared: "Have Aldi done this so everyone can start panic buying the toilet roll now."

Ashleigh Gill joked: "Oh how times have changed, wish they'd hurry up and do the same with petrol prices."

Some people thought the deal was 'too good to be true', and said the toilet rolls must have been placed on the wrong shelf.

Hundreds of other shoppers said they were unable to find the deal in their local store - stating that it must be a store specific offer.
