‘My favourite’ cry Aldi shoppers as they spot ice cream flavour based on iconic sweets for just over £1
ALDI shoppers have been rushing to buy an ice cream flavour based on iconic sweets for just over £1.
One customer was ecstatic after spotting the nostalgic flavour at the bargain retailer.
The savvy shopper was thrilled with her buy and quickly took to social media to show off her loot.
Taking to the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she revealed she picked up the ice cream at her local store.
She wrote: “Ice creams from Aldi £1.09.
“Does anyone remember the banana and shrimp candy foam sweets they taste just like them.”
The Bananas and Shrimps lollies come in packs of six with three of each flavour in a box.
More than one happy Facebook user commented that the flavour was their “favourite”.
Another social media user said that “her boys would love these”.
While other viewers happily tagged their friends to let them know about the incredible find.
You don’t need to walk into a store to get the ice cream lollies but stock may vary so it’s worth checking ahead.
If you are unsure where your nearest Aldi is you can put your postcode into the store locator tool on the retailer’s website.
Make sure you shop around too in case you have missed a better deal.
You can use comparison tools like Trolley.co.uk to find similar food items from other retailers and compare prices.
Facebook groups such as Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK are a good place to start to find a bargain for food or other items.
Users on the page regularly post photos of products they have found on the cheap, sometimes including what store they found them in.
You can use websites like Price Runner and Price Spy to compare prices on thousands of products.
And you can use the Google Shopping tab and do a quick scan of other similar products on sale online as well.
It comes as chocolate lovers are also racing to Aldi 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.
How to save on your supermarket shop
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.
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.
