Aldi shoppers go wild for new McDonald’s dupe costing 40% less

ALDI shoppers have been going wild for new McDonald's dupe which costs 40% less than the real thing.

The bargain supermarket is known for creating dupes of popular products.

And the latest dupe to hit the shelves is its own version of McDonald's famous fries.

The fries from Aldi cost £1.49 for a pack of two.

In comparison, one McDonald's medium fries cost £1.29, so that's a saving of 99p for one pack of fries.

The drop has caused a storm on social media.

Right Guys reviews has over 1.4million followers on TikTok and nearly 37million likes.

He posted a video on Aldi's new fast food dupe and it has 4.8million views and 190,000 likes.

In the video he said: "Right guys don't walk to Aldi run - look at that now they're selling McDonald's chips in Aldi.

"Let's get them home and try them out."

Shoppers took to the comments to share their thoughts.

One wrote: "It's the price for me I'm in love."

While another said: "Wait they are selling them - I'm on my way."

But some weren't impressed: "Actually no they taste nothing like it."

Another said: "They taste nothing like Mcdonald's don't be fooled."

The supermarket has also launched its own version of the McDonald's Big Stack.

Shoppers at Aldi can get it for £1.79 compared to £3.39 from the restaurant.

In March, Aldi shoppers had spotted another dupe of McDonald's.

In one of his latest videos, Right Guys Reviews shared one buy from Aldi that he claims tastes just the McDonald's McSpicy, which was added to menus in February.

The clip shows him lifting the Roosters Gastro flamin' hot chicken burgers out of the frozen section of his local Aldi store.

He then says: "Right guys, don't walk to Aldi, run to Aldi.

"If you like the new McSpicy from McDonald's, there is the McSpicy.

How can I save money at Aldi?

If the Aldi dupe isn't enough to tempt you but you still want to save money next time you're in your nearest branch, we've got some tips.

Supermarkets often put products in areas where they know customers will be tempted to grab something, like the tills.

But if you make a list before heading out for your shop, you're less likely to be enticed in.

You can try looking out for red stickers too - Aldi workers put these on products that have been reduced to clear, either because they are about to go out of date or the packaging is damaged.

Tom Church, co-founder of Latest Deals, said it's worth shopping on a Wednesday too.

This is when it drops prices and shoppers can often be found rushing to their nearest branch to get an early morning bargain.
