BEAT BLOCKBUSTER PRICES – SHOPPERS CAN SAVE UP TO 91% ON CINEMA SNACKS WITH ALDI ALTERNATIVES

As a host of exciting movies hit UK big screens this summer, including the much-anticipated Barbie movie, Aldi is on hand to help shoppers combat extortionate cinema snack prices with affordable alternatives – from just 99p.

A reported 40,000 people have even booked a double-whammy cinema experience by watching Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same day[i], so film fanatics are in for a treat as savings of up to 92% can be made on movie-watching essentials.

A must-have for any cinema trip – Aldi’s Snackrite Sweet & Salted Popcorn (99p, 110g) weighs in at the same size as small popcorn at Cineworld for nearly £4 less. Shoppers could even bag six bags of Snackrite for almost the same price as a Large Popcorn (£5.65) at Cineworld!

Stock up on fizzy drinks for the whole group with a six pack of Vive zX Cola (£1.65, 6x330ml) costing £1.70 less than a small drink at Cineworld. That’s a massive saving of nearly £3 per drink!
