SHOPPERS are racing to the bargain supermarket to snap up the Lion bar dupe which is “better than the original”.
The popular chocolate bar copycat is scanning at Aldi for just a fraction of the price.
Lion bar fans are thrilled to find out that they can swap their favourite treat for a lesser-known imitation to save up some money.
If you have a sweet tooth but want to stay on the budget, then Aldi’s version of the chocolate could spare your wallet while satisfying your cravings.
A pack of 13 bars is selling at the bargain retailer for only £1.15 – less than 8p per chocolate.
The treat – named Roar to reference the original – offers the same deliciousness with caramel wafer and wheat crisp covered in milk chocolate.
The sweet treat was discovered by an eagle-eyed shopper who posted it on a Facebook group with the caption: “First time seeing these, actually not too bad! Considering I’m a big chocolate eater!”
Fans have flocked to the comments to express their excitement over the cheap copycat.
One person said: “Think there are better than the real ones.”
Another one added: “My family’s favourites along with the jive bars.”
A third person wrote: “They are delicious.”
Someone else said: “Bought them for hubby but tried one too. I have to say they are really good.”
Aldi – known for its dupes and bargain deals – has recently launched some McDonald’s style halloumi fries and the item has already been given the thumbs up.
And if you thought you couldn’t love Aldi any more than you already do – prepare to think again.
The supermarket chain could slash your shop by £13 with these six products that you need to nab.
Not only is there a McDonald’s dupe that fans love, but there’s also a buy identical to a Domino’s product too.
In fact, ditching famous brands for lesser-known copycats on your weekly shop could save you nearly £300 a year.
But many of us are reluctant to make these swaps if they compromise on taste especially if we have a sweet spot for a particular snack.
That’s why The Sun team tested dozens of supermarket copycats of top snack brands and rounded up seven winners better than Cadbury, Mr Kipling and McVities.
As May bank holidays are fast approaching, Aldi has also reduced their cult-favourite Whispering Angel dupe to just £4.99 – but you have to be quick.
Let’s be honest, even if the weather isn’t the best, most of us will be sitting outside enjoying a glass or two to make the most of the long weekend.
And now you can stock up on your favourite wine for less than a fiver as it will be reduced to just £4.99 for a limited time.
The price drop will start on April 29 until 5 May and the deal allows customers to buy two bottles per transaction for the bargain price.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
