Aldi introduces a “two person” shopping limit for parts of its October sale after shoppers queue outside stores. Outlet reports say some items are restricted at the tills if customers attempt to buy more than the allowed amount, a measure intended to manage demand during a limited-availability promotion.

Both reports describe heavy footfall, with shoppers seen waiting outside stores before opening. The Mirror focuses on how the restriction operates at checkout, while the Daily Record highlights that the sell-out range is back and that the limit is being enforced as stores see sell-through pressure. Neither source provides detailed figures on which products are covered or the exact quantity limits, but both present the rule as a temporary control tied to the sale period.
