Foodies were left gobsmacked by the tasty dips and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts on the M&S 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.'

I tried supermarket choc ices – the tasty 23p winner beat Aldi and Lidl and is the perfect freezer treat for hot weather
Scroll to find the supermarket that came out on top ICE ICE BABY I tried supermarket choc ices – the tasty 23p winner beat Aldi and Lidl and is the perfect freezer treat for hot weather ULTIMATE 80s dessert the choc ice is enjoying a moment in the limelight after Princess Anne revealed she hands out the treat to guests. The royal crowd-pleaser features a bar of vanilla ice cream covered in either milk or dark chocolate. Advertisement 8 We put supermarket choc ices to the test Credit: Oliver Dixon A pack of eight usually costs between £1 and £2 in British supermarkets. But which brand would get the Royal seal of approval we tested a range to find out... Tesco Milk Choc Ices £2.15 (26.8p each) Per choc ice: 131 calories, 9.3g fat, 9.2 sugar 8 Tesco's newly improved choc ices are certainly an upgrade Credit: Oliver Dixon Tesco has recently improved its choc ice and these are certainly an upgrade. The chocolate was thin but had a lovely flavour and smooth mouthfeel. The ice cream was creamy, and whilst it only had a gentle hint of vanilla, it was pleasant to eat. Advertisement A little sweeter than most other own brands and a little more pricey - but pretty yummy to eat. Taste: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 6/10 Aldi Giannis Milk Choc Ices £1.69 for 8 (21.1p each) Per choc ice: 132 calories, 9.4g fat, 9.3g sugar 8 Aldi's ice cream has an unusual flavour Credit: Oliver Dixon Aldi's chocolate was a little grainy and not as smooth as I'd have liked. The ice cream was very light textured, creamy and not too sweet. They are a great price, costing just over 21p each - the very best in our test - so for a budget option these are fab. But these were let down by the unusual flavour of the chocolate. Advertisement Taste: 2/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 6/10 McDonald's launches brand-new burger featuring never-before-seen sauce Lidl Bon Gelati Ice Cream Sandwich 8 x 720ml £1.99 (24.8p each) Per choc ice: 248 calories, 15.5g fat, 18g sugar 8 Lidl's choc ice has a wafer Credit: Oliver Dixon Lidl's sandwich is the closest thing to a choc ice - part of it is covered with wafer. The chocolate was satisfactory but a little on the thin side and the vanilla flavour of the overly dense ice cream dominated the overall flavour. I liked the crunch of the water - a nice take on a choc ice and at less than 25p each, these are great value for money, if a little higher in calories, fat and sugar. Advertisement Taste: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 7/10 Asda Milk Choc Ices £1.97 for 8 (24.6p each) Per choc ice: 132 calories, 9.4g fat, 9.3g sugar 8 Asda offers great value with its frozen treat Credit: Oliver Dixon Small, but nice-tasting choc ices. The chocolate had a lovely snap as you bit into it and the ice cream was creamy and smooth, with a clear hint of vanilla. Asda's offering is one of the best value so a great budget-friendly treat option to keep on stand-by in the freezer. Advertisement Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 8/10 Waitrose Dark Choc Ices £2.15 for 8 (26.8p each) Per choc ice: 117 calories, 7.6g fat, 9.4g sugar 8 Waitrose choc ice is a cooling sweet treat Credit: Oliver Dixon A little more pricey than many own brands but these dark choc ices were delicious. The chocolate was thin and crunchy and no fancy flavours added to ruin the taste of it or the ice cream. The ice cream was very yellow in colour, but it tasted nice. Advertisement Overall, sweet, but not sickly. A lovely after dinner treat. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 8/10 Iceland Majestics Milk Choc Ices £1.50 for 6 (25p each) Per choc ice: 117 calories, 7.7g fat, 7.2g sugar 8 Iceland's box only has six choc ices Credit: Oliver Dixon The box is a good price but there are only six (most of the own brands come in boxes of eight). It means they work out more expensive per choc ice than Asda, Sainsbury's, Lidl and Aldi. Advertisement Taste wise though, these are on point. The chocolate is rich and creamy with a lovely snap and the ice cream has just the right hint of vanilla and sweetness. They are the same size as most of the other own brands but lower than most in calories, fat and sugar so not a bad option for your waistline either. Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 9/10 Sainsbury's Milk Choc Ices £1.90 for 8 (23.7p each) Per choc ice: 132 calories, 9.4g fat, 9.3g sugar 8 Sainsbury's choc ices are cheap and cheerful Credit: Oliver Dixon Simple and cheap, these Sainsbury's treats were my favourite of all the choc ices. The thin layer of chocolate around the ice cream is delightfully crisp and moreish. Advertisement The kids have been lapping up in the warm weather. In fact, they were as popular as a Magnum with my three children - but much, much cheaper. I think Princess Anne would definitely approve. Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Overall score: 10/10
