ALDI's salted caramel mince pies are back – and this year its also introduce a new blood orange and gin flavoured treat.
The fruity puddings have been filled with spiced orange mincement that's been infused with gin for zesty taste.
Don't worry, you don't need to bring your ID with you to buy them as the alcohol content in them is less than 0.5% ABV.
It's also brought back its glorious salted caramel crumble mince pies, which were first launched last year.
They're different to the salted caramel flavour puds introduced two years ago because instead of a pastry lid, these are topped with crumble.
The sets of desserts are in the supermarket's Specially Selected premium range, come in packs of six and cost £1.79 each.
How to cut the cost of your grocery shop
SAVING on your shop can make a big difference to your wallet. Here are some tips from comparison site Money.co.uk about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills:
- Write yourself a list – Only buy items that you need. If it isn’t on your list, don’t put it in the trolley
- Create a budget – Work out a weekly budget for your food shopping
- Never shop hungry – you are far more likely to buy more food if your tummy is rumbling
- Don’t buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they’ll charge for chopping can be eye watering
- Use social media – follow your favourite retailers to find out about the latest deals
- Be disloyal – You may want to go to different stores to find the best bargains
- Check the small print – It’s always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you’re making a like for like decision as a bigger box won’t necessarily mean you get more
- Use your loyalty cards – Don’t be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards
Aldi hasn't released details of how much other mince pies in the range costs so we can't tell you comparatively how expensive they are.
But we did find a pack of six basic mince pies on sale at Asda for just 87p, although you'll be forfeiting the fancy flavour to save cash.
The treats have been launched early so you can already buy them even though Christmas is still just under three months away.
You'll need to head into your nearest store though because they're not available to buy online.
Shoppers can find their local branch using the locator tool.
The budget retailer released details of its Christmas range earlier this year, including posh truffle pigs in blankets.
