ALDI’S AWARD-WINNING MINCE PIES ARE BACK FROM JUST 21P A PIE 

• Savvy shoppers can stock up on festive favourites, including Specially Selected All Butter, Ballycastle and Jamaican Rum Mince Pies, from 20^th September 

With just 100 days to go until Christmas, Aldi has unveiled the first of its award-winning mince pies, starting from just £1.25 a pack — as little as 21p per pie. 

Landing in stores from 20^th September, the Which? Best Value Brand of the Year champion¹ offers a wide selection of festive treats, from boozy bakes to classic butter-filled bites, giving savvy shoppers plenty of ways to stock up for Christmas without stretching their budgets. 

Kicking off the line-up, Aldi’s shopper favourite and British Specially Selected All Butter Mince Pies (£2.49, 6 pack) return after earning accreditation from the Good Housekeeping Institute² last year. Filled with luxury mincemeat infused with cognac, brandy and dry cider, they offer a deliciously indulgent festive treat. 

For a bite-sized take on the classic, the Specially Selected All Butter Mini Mince Pies (£2.49, 9 pack) return with a new recipe, combining buttery pastry with a flavour-packed filling that’s perfect for sharing. 

For those after something a little more indulgent, the new recipe Specially Selected Ballycastle Mince Pies (£2.25, 4 pack) pairs rich mincemeat with a beautifully swirled Ballycastle Country Cream buttercream topping. Also returning are the popular Specially Selected Jamaican Rum and Almond Tarts (£2.99, 6 pack), featuring all-butter pastry cases filled with a choice of two spirited seasonal fillings: rum-flavoured spiced mincemeat or brandy and almond mincemeat. 

Meanwhile, the Specially Selected Frangipane Mince Pies (£2.25, 4 pack) combine amaretto-infused mincemeat with almond frangipane for a rich, nutty twist on the Christmas classic. 

For those who like to keep it classic, Aldi has brought back its cult favourite — Holly Lane Deep Filled Mince Pies (£1.25, 6 pack) — which are just 21p per pie. 

Aldi’s first mince pies are available in stores from 20^th September, while stocks last.
