Aldi begins selling hot cross buns in January

Supermarkets across Australia have kicked off the Easter season early, already stocking hot cross buns.

Shoppers went into a frenzy when they noticed the supermarket giants Woolworths and Coles selling the easter treat in December at select stores. The official roll-out date for the buns was January 2 and 3, respectively.

Now, ALDI Australia will begin to offer the buns to customers from Monday January 29.
