Aldi shoppers rave about new festive bakes that are 'just like Greggs'

Aldi's new festive bakes are proving a hit with shoppers - with claims that they taste just like the Greggs version.

Aldi is selling Crestwood Festive Bakes in the run up to Christmas but the new snack has already sold out online. On Wednesday morning, the Crestwood 2 Festive Bakes 308g were out of stock on the retailer's website.

Taking to a Facebook group dedicated to fans of the budget retailer, many shoppers have praised the new item. The product comes in packs of two and the pasties are described as: "Tender chicken breast pieces with smoked bacon, sage seasoning and cranberries, in a creamy rich sauce, wrapped in flaky golden pastry".

The 99p packs are available in the frozen section at Aldi stores. Many Aldi shoppers have commented on the likeness between the bakes and a similar item from Greggs, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Sharing a photo of Aldi's version in the group, one shopper simply said: "Giving these a go". Many others quickly commented, as one said: "These are delicious, just like Greggs."

A second said: "Omg I need these please", while a third said: "Two is not enough, there should be four in a pack". A fourth said: "These are gorgeous, we tried them yesterday."
