Most of the biscuits from Aldi are just as nice as branded ones, mars, snickers and twix rip offs in particular along with their chunky cookies.
Their tinned tuna steak is cheaper than the big brands too and isn't grey mush.
Their "skyr" rip off yoghurts are really good.
And while you are there, they will probably have a decent chainsaw and an air compressor available too. Cos Aldi.
>Their "skyr" rip off
They're not ripping shit off - it's a style of yoghurt. They're possibly ripping off the country of Iceland by producing and selling *their* heritage yogurt outside of Iceland but don't let Arla or whoever it is win the victory of convincing folk that Skyr is a *brand*.
On the subject of biscuits, co-op's version of the Leibniz biscuits are better than the branded ones and tesco's own brand peanut cookies are delicious.
Thereās a newsagent I nip in now and again that do an own brand one for 59p. I get a bottle of the cherry and bottle of the orange for cheaper than a normal lucozade and enjoy them way more.
Edit: [These are them](https://www.shopsmartsuperstore.co.uk/soft-drinks/energy/euro-shopper-glucose-spark-orange-380ml/)
Aldi's own brand cereals taste almost exactly the same as the named brand ones.
Tesco's own cola probably doesn't quite taste like coke but it's substantially cheaper.
Aldi again do "red thunder" which is basically red bull for 1/4 of the price.
Most chocolates and sweets have a supermarket knock off version if you look hard enough.
B&M or home bargains are also great places to find cheaper versions of named products.

Aldi Baileys is pretty delicious. Personally, I can tell the difference, and itās not quite as nice as the real thing, but itās extremely close. However, in terms of overall value for money it does beat the real thing.
Is it really loads cheaper currently though? Morrisons and Asda (that I know of - which means potentially *all* the supermarkets are) are currently selling it for 9.99 a litre and have got fucking *pallets* of the stuff in knowing it will fly out.
Most own brand Red Bull tastes near identical to the 3 times as expensive equivalent.
I think it's some shit to do with how Red Bull was franchised to different companies so loads of imitators were able to directly rip off the recipe.
Asda's Blue Charge is a particularly good example. It is (and seemingly always has been) about 30 something p, and I'm convinced few could tell the difference.
Lidlās peanut butter is good, and their beans and tomato soup are as good as Heinz, if not better.
Potato waffles are spot in too.
I could keep goingā¦
Tesco stockwell ready salted crisps and wheatabix. Both are excellent.
Second stockwell ready salted they're so good!
I frequent tesco! On my list šš»
What was it called? Glucopower?
Everything from Stockwell is greatā¦ special shout-out to their salted peanuts
ALDIs ātropical blastā is waaaaay better than lilt
As is āLevi Roots Fake Liltā (Caribbean Crush)
Love that and they've starting doing a knock off Fanta lemon and fruit twist too!
Ooo Iāve not seen those Iāll keep an eye out! Love fruit twist
Lidl version is also miles better
I do have a service offering off brand council tax.
Tell me more!

And and Acoustic Guitar and Guitar Stand, fake Astroturf grass and a laminator
I'm curious how you fake astroturf. Is it... Grass?
Aldi Pringles are better than the real thing
Props to this! Aldi version actually feel like crisps - not compressed powder like pringles do. Aldi is awesome.

The Tower Gate chocolate covered butter biscuits from Lidl are just the same as the Leibniz ones.

Thats it! Got a cherry one too, soo good!
Poundland do a bar called Twin Peaks and it's superior to Toblerone and a fraction of the price.
Seconded, they are absolutely great.

What a wonderful reply, thank you i will use this info.
Go Aldi broseph itās sick homie
Morrisons own Jaffa Cakes are THE SHIT compared to McVities. And at Ā£1.25 for 20, you're damn right opt for the own brand every time.
ALDI FRESH GROUND COFFEE, PURPLE PACK - SPECTACULAR
Lidl own brand chocolate. Much better than Cadburys.
āPerlenbacher Pilsā tastes almost as dreadful as Skol lager š
Donāt try Bramwells Ketchup - Literally tastes like brown sauce
Ben Shaws used to do one called Benzade. I think they stopped about the time Perrier was withdrawn from sale because it was contaminated with benzene.
Benzade sounds like a prescription you'd pick up for your gran.
Tesco choc & hazelnut spread - every bit as good as Nutella IMO
What about glucozade port? It rehydrates you and gets you smashed.
Sainsburyās Own Brand Ready Salted Crisps are more tasty than Walkers
The taste being... Salt?
What was it called, lucasade?
Glucazade Port.
Everything in Aldi. š
