ALDI is selling a handy dupe that’s ‘just like’ a Gordon Ramsay favourite – and it’s £85 cheaper than the original.
The discount retailer’s special buy releases today, so you’ll need to rush to your nearest store – before stocks are sold out.
This week’s treat is an alternative to one of the hottest cookware brands around.
HexClad is endorsed by Gordon Ramsay and has rave reviews from professional chefs and home cooks.
In fact, our professional product reviewer and prolific home cook reviewed the brand recently and you can read his thoughts here.
However, the downside to HexClad is the massive price tags which our reviewer said was: “Heinously expensive.”
That’s why this alternative, that launched in Aldi stores yesterday (Thursday 29th of May), is a real limited time opportunity.
So if you’re not ready to splash out on the brand this might be a good way to try the design out first.
Priced at £14.99 each, Aldi‘s 28cm Tri-Ply Frying Pan and 18cm Saucepan are a bargain alternative.
Aldi says: ‘Cook up a treat with the Tri-Ply premium technology combining two stainless steel layers over an aluminium layer.
‘The layers work together to spread heat evenly throughout.’
They are great dupes for HexClad, but at a much more purse-friendly price.
Aldi’s versions are non-stick and provide ‘fast and even heating’.
You can also use metal utensils in them without fear of ruining the cooking surface and they’re suitable for all hobs, including induction.
But unlike HexClad, which features the hexagon design on the base, Aldi’s versions have smooth bottoms.
The Tri Ply Pans also come with a one-year warranty, whereas HexClad offers a lifetime warranty – but for the price that seems okay.
When to bag yellow sticker bargains
Aldi: Look for red stickers near closing time, offering up to 75% off perishable items and 30% off damaged packaging goods.
Asda: Discounts happen twice daily, in the morning and evening. Early risers can find fresh produce for as low as 10p.
Lidl: Price cuts occur first thing in the morning and before closing. Use the Lidl Plus app for additional weekly promotions.
Marks and Spencer: Reductions often occur near closing time. Monthly in-store offers and combo deals, like the £12 Dine In for Two, provide extra savings.
Morrisons: Yellow sticker discounts appear throughout the day. Register for a More Card to get specific day-based discounts, like 20% off fish on Fridays.
Sainsbury’s: No set discount times; look for yellow ‘reduced’ stickers. Register for Nectar prices for nearly 50% off weekly offers.
Tesco: No fixed discount times. Check the “mark-down section” in 300 stores for reduced-price items like salads, bread, and meat.
Aldi shoppers are also flocking to the supermarket to get their hands on a stylish mirror for less than £1.
The absolute steal was found in the middle aisle at Aldi, and the price was almost too good to be true.
Customers have also raved about a set of beautiful garden lights on sale for less than a coffee.
The German grocer is charging full steam ahead with its expansion plans, splashing out £650million this year alone to bring its famously low prices to even more shoppers.
And they recently revealed a full list of 10 new store locations opening this year – is one coming near you?
