Steak, booze, flowers and six other Aldi bargains that normally cost a fortune revealed
Here we round up the top posh products that you can snap up at the budget-friendly supermarket
YOU can live a champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget as long as you know where to shop.
From the world’s most expensive cut of beef to fancy plonk and Fairtrade blooms, Aldi has a selection of high-end goods at purse-friendly prices.
The German supermarket is able to make these luxury items accessible to all by keeping their costs down.
They do this by shunning big name brands, using boxes instead of shelves and running the business with insane efficiency.
Here we round up the top nine posh products that you can snap up at Aldi without spending a fortune.
STEAK
Wagyu beef is considered to be the best meat in the world, which is why it is usually given an eye-wateringly expensive price tag.
Aldi sells high quality ribeye and sirloin steaks in its UK stores – with prices starting from just £7.29 for 277g.
A typical posh restaurant would charge £40 per 100g, meaning it would cost roughly £90 to enjoy the same size Wagyu beef steak.
The meat comes from cattle that are bred and grass-fed on open New Zealand pastures, according to the retailer.
PROSECCO
Leave the cork in the Cava because Prosecco has become the sparkling wine of choice for most Brits.
Six bottles of Aldi plonk will set you back £31.74 – that’s just £5.29 per bottle. We’ll drink to that!
The bubbly is made from top quality-rated grapes from north-eastern Italy, and contains notes of pear and peach.
A bottle of Waitrose La Gioiosa Prosecco Superiore will set you back £9.99, while Sainbury’s Taste The Difference Prosecco costs a whopping £14.50 a bottle.
FLOWERS
There’s no better way to show a loved one you care than with a pretty bunch of blooms.
Aldi sell a gorgeous bunch of Fairtrade roses for just £3.
Interflora dp a similar offering for £25 meaning you’d save a massive £22 by throwing the supermarket flowers in your trolley.
NAPPIES
Aldi has been named the Best Supermarket of the Year for the fourth year running at the Loved By Parents Awards 2016.
The discount supermarket bagged a total of 16 gongs for nappies, baby-friendly laundry products, organic baby food and baby wipes.
A pack of 26 ultra-dry 6 plus Mamia nappies costs £3.39, while the Pampers Baby offering rings in at £14.

If you’re in need of a sweet fix grab a bar of Aldi’s Choceur Fruit and Nut Milk Chocolate.
The treat, which has a five-star rating on the store’s website, is just 99p – saving you £4 if you swap it for the big name brand.
LAUNDRY DETERGENT
No one likes spending a fortune on cleaning products, which is why Aldi’s Almat household brand has become a hit with mums.

SUPER 6
Every week Aldi picks six seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables and makes them part of its ‘Super 6’ offer.
This means you can get pricey items such as avocados, sweet potatoes and coconuts for a fraction of the price.
Shoppers have been known to snap up baking potatoes for as little as 14p. Just add baked beans and dinner is served.
PRAWNS

Aldi’s The Fishmonger Cooked and Peeled Large North Atlantic Prawns are priced at £3.39 for 370g, which means they’re great for throwing in paellas and pasta dishes.
Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Sainsbury’s all do similar offerings but there’s are priced over £6.
SUN CREAM
We’ve been stocking up on sun cream thanks to September’s scorching temperatures.
While big name brands like Piz Buin, Lancaster and Clinique can be pricey, Aldi has come to the rescue with their cheap lotion.
The store’s Lacura SPF 30 Moisturing Sun Lotion is just £1.25 per 100ml.
Let’s just hope the hot weather continues into October!
