Aldi’s £3.49 Wagyu beef burgers are back – but you’ll have to be quick
A Wagyu beef burger in a top restaurant might set you back £45
ALDI has brought back its popular bargain Wagyu beef burgers - but you'll have to be quick to take advantage of the deal.
The mega-posh steak is considered to be one of the most expensive and tasty in the world.
One of the posh burgers will usually set you back about £45 in a high-end restaurant.
But the discount supermarket is now selling (340g) for £3.49 across all its UK stores.
Aldi's burgers are made from premium quality Wagyu beef which comes from cattle bred and grass-fed on open New Zealand pastures
As always, they are part of the bargain store's Specialbuys, which means that "once they're gone, they're gone", so anyone hoping to snap up the bargain will have to be quick.
It's actually cheaper to get them from where two burgers of the same size are selling for £3 - but they are frozen.
Asda is also selling the posh barbecue food for £4.
Aldi first made Wagyu meat accessible to everyone in 2016.
It was such a hit that the store then launched Wagyu beef burgers at the height of barbecue season for £2.99 only.
Despite the incredible discount, they have been steadily increasing in price.

It has gained popularity for its distinctive marbling of fat which melts while it cooks, making for a more succulent and tender.
The meat is also supposedly healthier as the mono-unsaturated to saturated rate ratio is higher than other types of beef.
