ALDI DEFIES MCDONALD’S 14-YEAR-FIRST PRICE HIKES WITH 99P CHEESEBURGER

This week, McDonald’s fans were hit with the news that its saver menu favourites would be receiving a price increase for the first time in 14 years. The iconic 99p cheeseburger is no more, as it will now set shoppers back £1.19. The unwelcome announcement has caused a cost of living stir across social media.

Luckily, those looking to still grab a McDonald’s-style staple cheeseburger for under £1, can from Aldi – and all with fresh ingredients for that ultimate stacked sandwich experience.

• Ashfields 4 Beef Quarter Pounders (£2.49, 454g)
  • Made from 100% British Beef, these showstopping patties pack a meaty punch and serve up an even bigger beef portion than the golden-arched giant.
