McDonald's launches brand-new burger featuring never-before-seen sauce It's understood the deal was a limited offer in participating stores, meaning it wasn't a permanent menu fixture. Last year, the same items were available for £2.79, but the 20p price rise didn't put fans off. Buying the same items would now cost around £4.80, with a sausage and egg McMuffin priced at £3.39 and a regular white coffee is £1.39. McDonald's is currently offering its Breakfast Saver Menu, which in some branches includes a separate £2.99 deal for a Saver Bacon Roll and a drink. A McDonald's spokesperson told The Sun: 'We know how much our customers enjoy our iconic breakfast offerings and it was great to see the popularity of that Breakfast Deal. "We're always evolving our menu to keep things fresh and exciting for our customers, and we regularly review our Saver Menu to ensure it offers choice for all.' In comparison, Greggs offers a breakfast roll meal deal for £2.85. This includes a breakfast roll with one filling as well as a regular hot drink or a 250ml bottle of orange juice. Other McDonald's news It comes as McDonald's fans were devastated after the chain stopped selling its triple cheeseburger. McDonald's also axed several items last week to make way for the new menu offering. Among them were the Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers, Lotus Biscoff McFlurry, Steakhouse Stack and McSpicy x Frank's RedHot. The menu update comes after the fast food chain discontinued the Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap last month. McDonald's said it was part of a 'rotation' of its wrap offering. The wrap, which combined chicken breast strips, crispy onions, rashers of bacon and lettuce, was first launched in summer 2023. Meanwhile, Tesco has axed its Pink and Cloudy Lemonade in a blow to fizzy drink fans. Tesco's Cloudy Lemonade is also being replaced with a new product called Lemon Zero.

It comes as multiple eagle-eyed customers posted on Reddit sharing their concerns that the sandwich had been removed.

Shoppers are desperate to buy Aldi dupe of discontinued Greggs bake and they are much cheaper too
ALDI have brought out a dupe of an axed Greggs bake which fans used to say was "the best". Shoppers are going crazy after spotting the pastries on shelves for 72% cheaper than the original. 1 Aldi 's Crestwood Katsu Chicken bakes are flying off shelves for just £1.39. An excited customer who spotted the bargain took to the Aldi UK Shoppers to share the discovery, writing: "New spotted this morning Katsu chicken bakes. Only £1.39 for a pack of two in the freezer!" One savvy member replied: "Need to try these as Greggs don't do them anymore!" Another quipped: "It's a bit of Greggaldi's there!" Gregg's katsu chicken bakes were discontinued last month, causing outrage from fans. It came after they were momentarily discontinued in Christmas 2024, then welcomed back in February - only to be dropped again. At the time, shocked punters swarmed the bakery on X, probing: "@ GreggsOfficial why have you removed the chicken katsu curry bakes from your shops they're the best item on the menu with so much flavour.' Another added: 'Listen up @GreggsOfficial. I know you like to change things up. "But either the Chicken Katsu Bake stays or I lose my marbles.' Greggs have made no signal of U-turning on their decision. Greggs taste test But Aldi have heard the people, and decided to give them what they want. Aldi's new chicken katsu bake box means you only spend 70p per pastry - a bargain compared to what you would have paid in Greggs. Greggs' bakes were were roughly £2.50 when they were on the market, though prices can vary with location. If you're looking to get your hands on the dupe, you can find them in Aldi's freezer aisle with the other oven pastry goods. They are not yet featured on the Aldi website and may not be in all UK stores - so its worth ringing up your local to find out. Or you can ask a shopping assistant when you're in store if you struggle to find them. To find your nearest Aldi, you can go on the website and use the Store Finder tool. However always remember to compare prices before you shop, whether this is through search engines or via a price comparison site like Trolley. Tesco does 8 Mini Chicken Katsu Pasties for £2. This makes them 25p a pastie - but they are much smaller and eaten cold. While Aldi is probably still the best deal here, it goes to show how it can be useful to weigh up your options. LATEST ALDI DUPES If you're looking for more dupes of your favourite products, Aldi is the right place to look. Aldi's Nando's dupes are all the rage right now - with bottles of Bramwells garlic peri-peri sauce and hot peri-peri sauce just £1.25 each. Aldi's £6.49 Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake is still a famous rival to M&S, where a Colin cake costs £9.50. The discount supermarket has also just brought out a spring perfume range identical to a luxury brand which can save you a whopping £224. The Sun has also reviewed Aldi's latest beauty range Lacura - which mimics iconic brands like Huda Beauty but can save you up to £29. You can also currently buy dupes of White Company candles for just £4.99, and a tool similar to the Dyson Airwrap which is almost £200 cheaper. What are the best Aldi beauty dupes?
