So if you're on a mission to save cash on your food shop, then you'll need to get your shoes at the ready and head down to your nearest Aldi store - and fast.
One foodie was left beaming by the new Aldi dips - and there's four options to choose from.
Posting on social media, a young woman who is known online as the 'Snack Queen' shared her honest thoughts on the tasty buys, which are priced at just £1.99 each.
Thanks to the new Specially Selected Loaded Dips, your mouth is sure to be watering this weekend.
According to Aldi bosses, the cool and refreshing dips are the 'ultimate summer picky bits'.
They have landed just in time for the bank holiday weekend and have been hailed as 'perfect for picnics '.
So if you want to load up your popadums, you won't want to miss the Indian Mint Yoghurt and Mango Chutney Loaded Dip.
But if you're searching for something aromatic yet creamy, the Mascarpone Loaded Dip with Italian Herbs, Roasted Tomatoes and Parmesan is sure to offer a taste of the Mediterranean.
There's also the Chicken Caesar Loaded Dip that provides a creamy, tangy Caesar taste that Brits are bound to love.
The new dips are available to buy in stores now, and from July, shoppers will also be able to pick up the Tzatziki Loaded Dip which is topped with a vibrant Greek Salad.
ALDI goes undercover to showcase its great-value wines
Posting online, the 'Snack Queen' beamed: 'It's dip season at Aldi - check this out.'
Particularly impressed with the Indian-style dip, the foodie beamed: 'That sounds so good.'
Also keen on the Caesar-style option, the Aldi shopper added: 'If you love a Caesar salad, you're gonna love that.'
The content creator, who has amassed 52,400 followers on TikTok, then advised foodies: 'You gotta run to Aldi because they look amazing.'
While the M&S loaded dips are £3.60 when ordering from Ocado, at less than £2 each, Aldi's alternatives are a real steal.
So if you're looking to pocket pennies, you're sure to be thrilled to know that you'll save £1.61 on each dip with Aldi's purse-friendly buys.
Foodies beam
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ squashedpickled, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 235,200 views, 5,019 likes and 182 comments.
Foodies dupes.
One person said: 'Omg these sound delicious.'
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Another added: 'I look forward to trying these! Love the M&S loaded dips so let's see how the Aldi ones compare! Enjoy.'
A third commented: 'Ooooft!!! NEEEEED to try the caesar dip! M&S DUUUUPE!'
At the same time, someone else beamed: 'Consider me influenced.'
Not only this, but another savvy shopper wrote: 'Thanks for sharing. I'm going to Aldi.'

Instead, savvy shoppers will have the opportunity to reserve the trendy garden chair starting next week, with collection available in July.

Top gardening trends of 2025 GARDENING experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025. Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said! What else is on offer? If you're searching for a hanging garden chair, it's a good idea to compare prices to get the best deal. Lidl currently seems to have the most affordable option available. While B&Q offers a similar chair, it comes at a much higher price. The Maeria Dark Grey Hanging Egg Chair is currently available for £160. Meanwhile, Asda's Hanging Egg Chair is available online and in-store for £148.
