Cheap Alternatives/dupes That Are Just as Good as the Real Thing.

Other

What products do you think are just as good as the real product. For example own brand food items that the same or better than the branded item, or products that are dupes of more expensive well known items. E.g makeup, technology, homeware, medicine.

Bonus question: Are there any items that you consider it worthless splurging on?

Great question!

A Which? taste test of coffee pods named Aldi's Ristretto Alcafe coffee pods as a Which? Best Buy. The pods are compatible with a Nespresso coffee machine, and answer the age old question of how to get a Nespresso coffee for less.

I know the phrase is ‘beans means Heinz‘ but honestly Aldi beans are so much better for me! It really comes down to personal preference with most of these products but I would definitely say aldi beans are best 👍🏻

On the the flip side of things, I have to say I really love my bisto gravy.. the supermarket own brand versions just aren’t the same when it comes to gravy so I’m definitely happy to pay more.

In my opinion usually branded biscuits taste this same as own brand once. I tried digestives, fig rolls, custard creams they all tasted as good to me 😊

My son and family brought me back a Louis Vuiton purse from holiday and it is beautiful, I keep getting it out just to admire it! They reckon it's knock off but if it is, it is beautifully made and I would have hated them paying for genuine. If I can't see the difference I doubt anyone else could and they won't get to see it close up!
