The post received many likes and comments from fellow Aldi shoppers eager to get their hands on the Ballycastle S'mores Country Cream.

Supermarket deals

Aldi's The Hop Foundry Toasted Marshmallow Stout will reportedly consist of rich malt and hop flavours "with a twist of toasted marshmallow for a slightly sweet but smooth stout".

The popular supermarket chain said that the new 440ml drink will cost shoppers just £1.79.

Those desperate to try the discount retailers new products should head to their nearest store to purchase the drink.

Both drinks are only available in Aldi stores, as you can't buy online at the discounter.

The 70cl bottle will set you back just £7.49.

You can find your nearest one by using the locator tool on the supermarket's website.

It's not the only unusual flavoured Ballycastle Irish cream on Aldi shelves.

The discounter is selling milk chocolate clementine country cream liqueur - and shoppers say it tastes like Terry's Chocolate Orange.

The other flavours currently selling in Aldi include the traditional Baileys-esque Irish Country, as well as Chocolate Peanut Butter, White Chocolate and Pineapple and Coconut Colada.

Aldi had previously stocked the drink inspired by one of the nation's favourite treats -Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Limited Edition Ballycastle Chocolate Crème is described as "a deliciously smooth, Irish Cream blend with delicate hints of chocolate and sweet vanilla".

The brilliant beverage was available over Easter costing £7.69 for a 70cl bottle.

The supermarket giant is renowned for its festive dupes, which send shoppers wild for the products.

How to compare prices to get the best deal

JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

Here are some that we recommend:

  • Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
  • Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
  •  is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
  • only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

Last year, Aldi introduced a twist on the classic Baileys liqueur.

They added a new flavour said to taste like the classic Cadbury's Caramel chocolate bar.

The limited edition Blonde Chocolate was sold in stores for just £7.79.

Every 70cl bottle is a blend of rich double cream, caramelised chocolate and Irish Cream.

It even bagged a silver award at this year's International Spirits Competition.

Dubbed by some as a "boozy Caramilk", it's best enjoyed over ice or as a main ingredient in a cocktail.
