Aldi's Selling £6.99 Dupes For McDonald's Sold-Out Squishmallow Halloween Toys

Hello, Deal Hunters!

Keira Clarke at The Sun reported that the Halloween-themed Squishmallow toys that everyone's been raving about in McDonald's Happy Meals have sold out everywhere. But don't fret if you've missed out – Aldi has come to the rescue! Larger "dupe" versions of these squishy toys are available for only £6.99. That's right, only £6.99! And according to some eagle-eyed shoppers, this isn't the first time Aldi has stocked something similar.

Aldi enthusiast, Becky, took to TikTok to spread the news. She said: "Squishmallow dupes of the McDonald's mini squishmallows. You find everything in Aldi." And for those of you planning your Halloween candy stash, Becky also shared that Aldi is overflowing with spooky decorations and heaps of sweets, all ready for the trick-or-treat season. While you're there, be on the lookout for Aldi's £1.39 Dairyfine Curious Inventions Milk Chocolate bar. Looks just like Cadbury's, but for a fraction of the price.

However, some shoppers on TikTok pointed out that Aldi has been in the squish game for a while, with one user noting that Aldi stocked the genuine large McDonald's Squishmallows two years ago. But, there were also claims that Aldi no longer has a contract with Squishmallows and only sells the knockoffs.
