Aldi shoppers name their favourite copycat products including chocolate buttons and cookies and crisps
ALDI shoppers have named their favourite copycat products at the discounter including treats such as chocolate and cookies.
It's good news for bargain hunters as the budget supermarket sells them for cheaper - and you might not even notice a difference in taste.
Some shoppers also suspect that food giants produce versions for Aldi, but this is usually kept under wraps for commercial reasons.
Aldi's own-brand Hula Hoops has previously been proven to be the same as the real thing when a shopper found original brand packs in a Snackrite multipack.
While Weetabix makes own-brand cereal for Asda and Tesco - and they cost almost half the price.
In a new discussion in the Facebook group , customers have shared their favourite copycat products at the discounter.

THE budget supermarket sells them for cheaper- and you might not even notice a difference in taste.

Customers in London, Nottingham and the Midlands can also do their Aldi shopping for home delivery via Deliveroo.
White chocolate buttons
Some shoppers praised , and said they taste "exactly the same" as the Milkybar version by Nestle.
They're cheaper too, setting you back just 33p for a 70g pack compared to £1 for a 103g pack at Asda and Sainsbury's.
Another shopper disagreed and said the treats are more similar to Cadbury's white chocolate button version, which costs £1 for a 110g pack of giant buttons at Asda.
Cookies and biscuits
If cookies are more your cup of tea, you should give the a go instead of Maryland Cookies, according to the Aldi shoppers.
They come in packs of 400g, setting you back just 62p for the whole lot.
In comparison, Morrisons is selling a 230g pack of Maryland Cookies for 70p.
Alternatively, you can nab Aldi's Jaffa Cakes for 79p per 300g instead of £1 per 244g of the McVitie's version at Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco.
One user said: "I can’t usually get anything by hubby he’s a brand snob.
"I swapped his Jaffa cakes for Aldi Jaffa cakes and he never notices and even when I told him he thought it was a wind up. Great swap."
Other popular copycat products include Jammy Dodgers - and one Aldi shopper said the budget version tastes even better than the brand version.
Aldi's Jammy Wheels sets you back 42p for 140g, compared to 50p for a same-sized pack of Jammy Dodgers at Asda.
Burton's Biscuits, which owns Jammy Dodgers and Maryland Cookies, declined to comment.
Crisps
One shopper claimed Aldi crisps are actually made by treats giant Walkers.
While another said that she'd one found a packet of Walkers' Wotsits inside Aldi's budget version, which are called cheese puffs.
But another disagreed and said: "I love Aldi but their crisps are definitely not Walkers."
Pepsico, which owns Walkers, told The Sun it doesn't produce own label products and doesn't not have any involvement in Aldi’s crisp production.
Yet it could be worth giving them a go as a 150g bag of cheese puffs costs 49p at the discounter, compared to £1 for a smaller 99g Wotsits bag at Tesco.
Yogurt
Several shoppers said you'll be able to find Aldi "own-brand" yogurts made by Muller in the budget supermarket.
The manufacturer declined to confirm this and said it doesn't comment on Aldi's sourcing arrangements.
But it could be worth a shot as Aldi's crunch & yogurt six-pack costs £1.69, while Muller's branded counterpart costs £2 at Asda, Morrisons and Tesco.
The Sun has also contacted Aldi, Cadbury and Nestle for comment.
