Aldi has launched a rival £2.50 version of Marks & Spencer’s popular Christmas snack mixes, and they’re the perfect budget-friendly treat for the festive season
Aldi has done it again, launching a budget-friendly take on one of Marks & Spencer’s most-talked about festive snacks, and shoppers are already excited.
The supermarket has launched its own version of M&S’ viral Christmas snack tins, but at way over half the price. Costing £2.49 Aldi’s new Munch Mix bags are filled with a selection of salted pretzels, toffee popcorn, mini chocolate eggs and more.
In recent years, M&S snack mixes and tins, priced at £10 for the tin and £7 for the refill bags, have become cult favourites, with shoppers rushing to snap them up as soon as they hit the shelves.
Aldi’s new launch means shoppers can enjoy similar festive snacks for a fraction of the price. With the cost of living crisis still around, we’re definitely all feeling the pinch, and with the countdown to Christmas officially on, these purse-friendly snack mixes are set to be a big hit.
