How do Aldi own-brand biscuits compare to the originals?

As food bills spiral you may be looking for quick and easy ways to shave a few pennies off the total at the till. But you don't need to cut out biscuits and snacks completely - if you're willing to go for a budget supermarket dupe instead.

Bristol Live reporter Louisa Streeting compared Aldi own-brand duplicates of some of the most popular snacks to see how they stack up. She said: "[Aldi's] copycat product names never cease to amuse me. While McVitie's has never seemingly tried to sue the budget retailer, the likeness is immediately recognisable on supermarket shelves. And so I began my very serious tasting quest to see whether lower prices compromised quality in this scenario."

Louisa added: "I selected Chocolate Digestives, Rich Teas, Hobnobs and Penguin bars and put them up against their Aldi counterparts."
