ALDI has brought back its McDonald’s Happy Meal rip-off – and it’s half the price with fans saying the chips are even better.
The budget supermarket’s party meal kits were introduced last autumn but have made a sudden return.
One box contains 12 chicken nuggets, two tomato ketchup dips, two French fries and two orange ice coolers.
They feed two kids and cost just £3.99 – with the contents suitable for the air fryer.
The average McDonald’s Happy Meal for one person is £4.09.
A delighted shopper spotted the product’s return, posting a snap on Facebook page Snack Reviews.
He wrote: “Kids Party Meal Kits now back at ALDI.”
One commenter said: “My eldest prefers this to real McDonald’s.”
Another added: “A real treat.”
A third said: “My teenage daughter loves these ‘unhappy meals’ quick easy treat!”
On fellow Facebook bargain page Newfoodsuk, one happy shopper said: “My two had this for lunch today as a little treat – they said it feels just like they’ve been to McDonald’s- tastes different but is still really good! They loved it.
“The extra nugget caused a little issue though.”

In September last year, posting on the official @aldiuk Instagram page, the much-loved chain shared a snap of the new kits and wrote: “Back to school means back to busy days!
“Take away the stress of meal planning with these NEW Oakhurst Meal Kits.
“Perfect for treating your kids to a quick, tasty dinner after a long day of learning.
