12 Aldi 'Fakes' That Are Actually Better Than the Real Thing

12 Aldi dupes that beat the name brand—this video reveals the Aldi products that independent CHOICE testing found can genuinely compete with, and in several cases outperform, more expensive Australian supermarket favourites. From dishwashing liquid and butter to hummus, mayonnaise, laundry powder, olive oil and ice cream, we compare taste-test results, lab performance, price, ingredients and value. You’ll discover which Aldi products earned strong results against major brands, including the categories where Aldi delivered some of the biggest surprises. We also explain why private-label products can be significantly cheaper, how blind testing removes brand bias, and why a cheaper product isn't automatically better. The countdown covers 12 specific Aldi products, while also showing you how to evaluate future supermarket swaps yourself. If you're looking for the best Aldi products in Australia, affordable supermarket alternatives, or genuine Aldi dupes worth buying, this guide gives you practical evidence rather than marketing claims.
