Battle of the Biscuits

*****Disclaimer - I am in no way affiliated with Aldi*****

Hello! Back with yet again another blog post, many thanks to my returning viewers, and welcome to those who are new! This time I have decided to try different biscuits from Aldi, and compare them to the branded alternative! Lets dive in!

 Seal Bars vs Penguins
I have never been a great lover of Penguins to be honest, not even the cheesy jokes on the back, a feature which Aldi have neglected to include on their infamous 'Seal bars'. However, the Seal bar comes extremely close to replicating McVitie's Penguin, if not actually tasting better than the Penguin.





 Butter Biscuits vs Choco Leibniz

The results of this comparison were similar to the Seal Bars vs Penguins test, with Aldi's 'butter biscuits' tasting exactly the same as Bahlsen's Choco Leibniz. I usually get sick of Choco Leibniz before I can finish the pack, but I did not have this issue with Aldi's  butter biscuits, (if you are reading this, both packs are now long gone).






Wacko vs Rocky

 A childhood classic for me, I hadn't ever actually tried Aldi's version, and I was actually pleasantly surprised. Both biscuits are extremely good, and filled with soft caramel, mmmmm.




Toffeeooze vs Toffeepops

Finally, I put Aldi's Toffeeooze to the test against Lyon's Toffeepops. Whilst the taste of these two biscuits are virtually the same, there was a small difference in texture with Toffeeooze's being slightly chewier. However, this difference is nothing the difference in price can't make up for!




We have once again reached the end of another blog post :( Thank you so much for taking the time to read it! and stay tuned for the my next post!

Snackrite or Snackwrong: Crisp Wars

*****Disclaimer - I am in no way affiliated with Aldi***** Hello and welcome to another blog post! Now, I have decided to put ‘Snackrite’ crisps to the test.    Let the cheese meet the onion.   First, I tried Walkers cheese and onion crisps (6 pack, averaging £1.50) , and Aldi’s of the same (6 pack, £0.79). Aldi’s crisps were more flavoursome, and left Walkers seeming slightly underwhelming and a little bland. When it came to a blind taste test, I mistook Aldi’s product for Walkers.   When it came to Doritos (Tangy Cheese, £1.99) and Aldi’s ‘Snackrite Tortilla Chips (Nacho Cheese. £0.75) - wow huge price difference!! I did notice a slight difference in the flavours of the two, I personally preferred the Doritos but for this price I would probably opt for the Aldi option! The textures of both of these products are fairly similar, and again there is a huge price difference, I genuinely can't get over these prices!! Especially when most ...

Clash of the Chocolates

*****Disclaimer - I am in no way affiliated with Aldi***** Hi! My name is Scott, and welcome to the first blog post of the series! I am currently studying marketing, and have been tasked with creating my own blog, so I have decided to put Aldi's versions of name brands to the test, and share my experience.  For years now, Aldi have become well-known for not only their cheap prices, but also their alternative versions of name brand products. I have never been what some might call an “Aldi person”, however, I have decided to try and covert myself by comparing various different Aldi products to the product they are apparently replicating, and then decide whether or not the difference in product is worth the difference in price.  For the first post, I have decided to compare different chocolates from Aldi with the 'real' branded product, so lets dive right into it! The first comparison I made was between the simple (but underrated) cadburys GIANT buttons (60p),...

*****Disclaimer - I am in no way affiliated with Aldi***** Hello again! and welcome to my blog, or welcome back to my returning readers! For the next instalment I have decided to try various instant snacks that make a quick and easy lunch, and choose which tastes better, Enjoy! Cup Shotz (37p) vs Mug Shot (80p) I was pleasantly surprised with the results of this test, with Aldi's 'Cup Shotz' in a chicken flavour actually delivering fairly well in comparison to the Snack Noodle. I wouldn't say it was miles better than the Mug Shot, but the two are extremely extremely similar in flavour and texture. This was without a doubt the best result for Aldi in this blog (spoiler, sorry), with the Mug Shot being well and truly mugged off by Aldi's replica.  Pasta & Sauce (39p) vs Pasta 'n' Sauce (75p) Even although the packaging of these two products are extremely similar, the flavour is a different story altogether. Aldi have create...
