Aldi shoppers discover McDonald's fries 'dupe' that costs just £1.49

Foodies have been rushing to Aldi after hearing about a new takeaway 'dupe' that tastes just like an iconic item that you can find on a McDonald's menu.

The budget supermarket chain has been helping shoppers create their favourite McDonald's order from home with a vast variety of frozen 'dupes'. From McNuggets to the cult-favourite hash browns, the budget takeaway range has been a hit with fans.

Now, the German grocer has expanded its range with a 'dupe' of the fast-food giant's famous french fries and shoppers can't wait to get their hands on them after spotting them on social media.

The Oakhurst Takeaway Style French Fries, priced at £1.49 for a pack of two, recently caused a storm on Facebook after they were shared to the Food Finds UK Facebook page.

An small-sized individual serving of french fries at McDonald's would usually cost 99p, meanwhile a medium-size would cost you £1.49. That means that Aldi shoppers are actually paying less and receiving more for the price.

Hundreds of shopers quickly flocked to the comments to rave over the latest 'dupe' that they wanted to get their hands on to make a McDonald's from home.

One shopper raved: "These are soooooo good!! NG will love these xx."

A third impressed shopper wrote: "My kids had them tonite and they loved them x."

While a fifth added: "Saw them last week. May get some to try and see if they are like mds."

The Oakhurst Takeaway Style French Fries are priced at £1.49 and can be bought in Aldi stores or via click and collect.
