Savvy Shopper Reveals 10 Aldi Dupes That Saves £200+ This Christmas

Looking to save on your Christmas spend? One savvy shopper is sharing how he saves more than £200 on Christmas essentials with Aldi dupes.

Tom Church, Co-founder of money saving community LatestDeals.co.uk said, “Aldi is my go-to for so many essentials over the festive season. From budget G&Ts and cheap Christmas chocolates, to bargain gift ideas and home goods, I can save around £200 on my shopping.

XXL Inclusion Candle Centrepiece - £24.99, Save £70.01

“In Aldi’s middle aisle this year there’s a great dupe for the famous White Company Winter Indulgence Botanical Candle, which costs a whopping £95! The Aldi one is the same size, 4.5kg, and is a fraction of the price at £24.99. It smells and looks amazing.

Hotel Collection No. 3 Pomegranate Eau De Parfum 100ml - £6.99, Save £111.01

“For a Christmas pressie that won’t break the budget, how about a dupe for the famous Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir perfume. Buying the iconic fragrance would cost £118 for the 100ml bottle, whereas Aldi’s Hotel Collection No.3 Pomegranate scent is just £6.99 for the same amount.

Ballycastle Irish Country Cream Liqueur 70cl - £4.99, Save £11.51

“Baileys is an essential at Christmas time, and Aldi’s alternative is just £4.99 a bottle. A 70cl bottle of the real thing would set you back £16.50 at Tesco, so you’re saving £11.51.

Moser Roth Belgian Chocolate Seashells 250g - £2.99, Save £3.01

“When it comes to Christmas chocolates, Guylian Seashells are my mum’s absolute favourite. They’re usually £6 a box at Tesco, though you can get them for £4.50 with Clubcard at the moment, Or, Aldi’s own brand alternative is just £2.99 a box - and they taste pretty much the same!

Vive Multipack Diet Cola 6x330ml - £1.65, Save £2.07

“If you’re having family over for Christmas, you may want to stock up on canned soft drinks. The Aldi answer to Diet Coke is Vive Cola, and a six pack works out at 28p a can. An eight pack of Diet Coke at Sainsbury’s works out at 62p a can, so it’s a fantastic saving. I think it takes a little sweeter.

Snackrite Perfections Thai Sweet Chilli Crisps 150g - £1.25, Save £1.25

“For pre-dinner nibbles, I like the Aldi dupe for Walkers Sweet Chilli Sensations. You can get a family share bag of the real thing for £2.50 at Tesco. Or, opt for the Aldi own bag for just £1.25 - that’s literally half the price.

Ridge Valley Light Indian Tonic Water 8x150ml - £2.09, Save £2.66

“For a budget gin and tonic, Aldi has an alternative to Fever Tree’s Light Indian Tonic Water Cans. A pack of eight is £4.75 at ASDA, and the same at Aldi are just £2.09. Personally I can’t tell the difference with this one, and they make a great G&T!

Greyson's London Dry Gin 1l - £15.99, Save £8

“And of course, for the gin there’s the Greyson’s London bottle, which is a dupe for Gordon’s. It’s £15.99 for a 1 litre bottle - should keep you going over Christmas! - that’s £8 cheaper than a 1 litre bottle of Gordon’s from Sainsbury’s.

Lacura Gentle Almond Shower Oil, £4.99, Save £14.51

“If you’re looking for an affordable gift idea, Aldi’s answer to the 'Occitane Almond Shower Oil is just £4.99 a bottle, £14.51 cheaper than the branded version. Items like this always sell out fast, so keep an eye on the Aldi website for updates on restock dates”.

Bramwells Tomato Ketchup 500ml - 85p, Save £2.55

“For bacon sarnies on Christmas morning, you’re going to need ketchup! Aldi’s own brand is just 85p a bottle, a whopping £2.55 cheaper than a bottle of Heinz from Sainsbury’s.

Tom finished by adding, “Christmas is an expensive time of year, but there are always swaps you can make without compromising quality. Aldi is fantastic for this, and with these ten products alone you’re saving just over £226.
