Foodies left ‘horrified’ and say Aldi has gone ‘too far’ with new ‘vile’ £1.30 Christmas sauce – but what do you think?
FOODIES have been left totally divided over Aldi’s new Christmas sauce.
Not only have people claimed that the much-loved chain has gone ‘too far’ with the condiment, but others have described it as ‘gross’.
But with just 17 days until December 25th, what do YOU think about the unique product?
Every December, the supermarket releases plenty of festive treats - but some are ‘horrified’ and think this new buy could be too much.
It comes after shoppers spotted Aldi’s two new festive takes on the classic Mayonnaise condiment - Cranberry Mayonnaise and Sage and Onion Stuffing Mayonnaise.
Each 250g jar costs just £1.29, making it super affordable, but not everyone was keen.

According to the supermarket, the Bramwells Cranberry Mayonnaise is the "ultimate gravy alternative on Christmas Day.
It offers a "creamy take on the traditional sweet and tangy sauce".
Meanwhile, the Sage and Onion Stuffing mayo brings a "delicious twist on tradition".
But food fans were totally divided by the unique sauces, in particular the Sage and Onion Stuffing Mayonnaise.
Bargain hunters flocked to social media to share their thoughts, after the chain shared a snap of the cheap buy on the official @ Instagram account.
The supermarket penned: “Our NEW Sage & Onion Stuffing Mayonnaise will have you switching up your Christmas traditions this year.
“Perfect for dipping your pigs in blankets into or adding EVEN MORE festive flavours to your party nibbles.”
The post has quickly racked up over 6,500 likes, but foodies were seriously divided - whilst some thought the chain had gone ‘too far’, others thought it sounded ‘amazing’.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
One user wrote: "Why do they have to mess about with traditional ingredients at Christmas time when they work perfectly well as they are all year?"
Another commented: "Oh noooo this sounds so gross, sorry not sorry but mayo with sage AND stuffing...no no no.”

Whilst a third simply said: "Vile!"
Alongside sick emojis, someone else slammed: “Ermmm no! Not for me.”

A second chimed in: “That sounds immense.”
