Aldi has launched a new burger that it claims can 'rival McDonald's', offering a similar taste experience for a fraction of the cost.

The budget supermarket chain, renowned for its cost-effective alternatives, is tempting customers with a burger that's said to compete with the McSpicy, and according to Aldi, it's about 79% cheaper than purchasing one from McDonald's.

McDonald's introduced the McSpicy to UK diners in 2022, touting it as a "hot and spicy chicken breast in crispy coating, served with crunchy lettuce, and a classic sandwich sauce served in a sesame seed bun".
