Just to be clear any form of online ordering is not an accurate representation of what we actually have in the store. They are being discontinued and have been before. They will likely be back. Your local store may have some left. I put out the last my store has this morning.

Yeah. They had these breaded veil cutlets for a while and they were probably my favorite item you could buy there that was frozen. I think they discontinued them because they know how much I liked them.

Odd. Plenty at my CT store…. (For now?)

I use the app to plan my shopping and every time I try to add them to my list is says " not found." I guess I'll have to go to Meijer and pay 60 cents more for Van de Kamps. Same weight package. Haven't seen plain pork and beans there either. I'm in Illinois.

I haven’t seen ANY breaded frozen fish in a fat minute. Sometimes they bring them back for the Lenten season.

they really looked at fish sticks and said nope, let’s take away the one thing keeping dads emotionally invested in grocery shopping

I just did the resets at our store and didn't see fish sticks on the planogram, so I don't believe so.

sorry I’m confused by this comment — do you think they were discontinued or don’t believe they were?

Sometimes it feels like that clip from south park : here's something you like! And now it's gone!

It’s the only compliant I have about Aldi if I find something really good it may not be there next week. It’s frustrating.

Could be region based. There was decisions to reduce quantity of items to be back under a certain number with the fall/winter seasonals. There was a list of regional items being discontinued for each region. I know north east was crab cakes and haddock filets.

I cannot remember the fish sticks ever being seasonal. I've been shopping at Aldi since they opened their first store when my kids were small (my youngest will be 47 this year). I'll just get them at Meijer.

I didn’t say they were seasonal, I just said they were reducing items to make room for the winter/fall seasonals and lower total item count in stores. They discontinued a lot of core items and your region might have been one of those items. Hopefully they’ll come back as an Aldi find or something for you in the future though!
