Aldi launches copper saucepan range that looks EXACTLY like John Lewis’ version but is up to £90 cheaper – so can you tell which is which?
Budget supermarket is offering 28cm pan for £34.99 - compared to £115 for a near-identical product at the posh shop
ALDI is taking on luxury department store John Lewis by releasing an identical looking range of copper saucepans - for less than half the price.
The budget supermarket chain is helping customers cut the cost of Christmas with the stylish selection of Tri-Ply copper pans.
The company claims they heat up faster than conventional saucepans and therefore reduce cooking time.
Products in the range include a 16cm saucepan for £19.99 - which is £55 cheaper than a near-identical product at John Lewis.
Buyers can also get their hands on a copper stockpot, a sauté pan, and a Tri-ply copper roaster tray, which cost up to 73 per cent less than equivalent items at the posh department store.
Some products in the new Aldi range can be picked up for as little as £3.99, including copper kitchen tools.
Copper pans are becoming a popular choice with cooking experts and are also trendy with celebrities.
