Ahead of the annual Wimbledon games, the organisers have released the tournament’s pre-packed picnic offering for two – at a whopping £80. To help spectators avoid spending a Wimble-tonne, supermarket Aldi has the perfect picnic alternatives in a Wimbledon-inspired set at less than a quarter of the cost.

For less than £10 per head for two, tennis enthusiasts can create a Wimbledon-worthy picnic while saving themselves a massive £60 thanks to Aldi’s delicious foods including:

STARTER:
Aldi’s sumptuous Specially Selected Brussels & Shallots Pâté (£1.49, 170g) paired with the crisp Savour Bakes Scottish Rough Oatcakes (£0.55, 250g) – the ideal serve to get lunch going
