I love Halloween and particularly enjoy a good excuse to curl up in front of a scary film with plenty of nostalgic snacks. Unfortunately, this can also prove to be a bit of a pricey time of year, especially if you have adorable yet persistent trick-or-treaters knocking at your door every five minutes.
Amid the ongoing cost of living crisis, many of us will be looking for ways to cut back while still enjoying all the fun of the spooky season. This may well involve searching for alternative options to your favourite sweet brands, whether you intend to pop them in a plastic cauldron by the front door or chomp them all down on the sofa in front of Hocus Pocus.
With this in mind, I decided to test out five classic sweets next to comparable Aldi dupes, to see if they measured up. I was left pretty blown away by some of the cheaper options.
