Food fans can’t get enough of ‘amazing’ new Aldi cakes just like M&S’ but cheaper
FOOD fans are sprinting to Aldi, desperate to try their “amazing” cakes which are cheaper than similar ones stocked by rival M&S.
Bargain hunters are scanning their local supermarket’s aisles in search of the retailer’s mouthwatering Lemon Curd Iced Buns.
One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the treat before taking to Facebook to report back to Aldi fans.
“Aldi – SOO good,” they raved.
“Lemon curd in the middle. [It] was another difficult find.
“It was just randomly there only one so just grabbed it, don’t know how much.”
The savvy shopper will be happy to hear that customers can nab a two pack for £1.75.
And users who viewed the post were equally impressed – with some preferring them to similar snacks stocked by a rival supermarket chain.
“Lovely! I usually get them from M&S but there as nice and about 50p cheaper,” one user wrote.
A second chimed in: “I had one tonight, they taste really nice!”
A third added: “Mmm yummy! I love lemon curd.”
ALDI BRING BACK SUMMER FAVOURITE
It comes after Aldi announced the return of one of their most popular condiments in time for the balmy summer months.
The best part is you can fill your trolly without breaking the bank because it’s priced at just 89p.
The budget retailer is known for giving shoppers some pretty great deals, from middle aisle bargains to food and drink buys you won’t want to miss.
So, when shoppers discovered Aldi’s Bacon Mayo are back in stores they were understandably overjoyed.
And it’s not just the classic Bacon Mayo you can get your hands on either.
There is also Caramelised Onion Mayo and Smokey Bacon Ketchup – perfect for summer BBQs or just to add some flavour to your weekday dinner.
A spokesperson for Aldi said: “Aldi’s Bacon Mayo, as well as other flavours in this a-mayo-nnaising range, are available in stores now for just 89p.
“The Bacon Mayo comes just as Heinz launches new Smokey Bacon Ketchup but Aldi’s twist on a classic is a whopping 51% cheaper (based on 250ml).
“With bacon being a popular breakfast staple for years coupled with the popularity of mayonnaise, Aldi’s Bacon Mayo is the perfect pairing and has been brought back to shelves after popular demand.”
When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates.”
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store’s times by using the supermarket’s online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys – Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store’s opening time.
You don’t have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you’ll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit as early as possible
