Aldi shoppers rush to bag a Tom Ford dupe which is £100 cheaper & it is just as good as the real thing
THERE’S no better feeling than bagging a bargain - especially at Christmas time.
And it's even better when the bargain feels like a super expensive and luxury item.
This is the case for some Aldi shoppers this week.
They're going wild for a specific purchase “which is just like the posh one.”
Some are even racing to the stores at 8am, just as the doors open.
One in particular is a woman, who goes by the name of Fenlon Interiors on TikTok.

She managed to find Aldi candles, which are just like the high-end luxury designer Tom Ford candles.
Tom Ford candles usually range from £98 to £105 depending on the scent.
But Aldi dupes are costing between £3 to £3.99 for the diffusers and candles - and the packaging is luxury too.
Taking to TikTok to share her bargain finds, the woman says: “This, in my eyes, could potentially be the most iconic Aldi dupe we've ever seen.
“I mean, it's always a wild goose chase trying to find these special buys, but girl I found them.
“So these are the Tom Ford candle dupes.
“And I'm sorry, spot on from Aldi.
“So this one's the Thorny Rose.
“Like I'm sorry, identical to Tom Ford Rose Prick.”
Tom Ford’s range includes Bitter Peach, Rose Prick and Lost Cherry candles.
But the TikToker Fenlon, says the Aldi dupes smell just like the Tom Ford ones, although there’s a slight difference in design.
The interior fan continues: “The only difference is it does have a pink candle in it and I think Tom Ford ones are only white.
“They also had the Crushed Peach but I was gutted cause I couldn't find a Cherry Pie.
“But I did find the diffusers.
“This again was the Thorny Rose.”
She explains that you can scratch the label on the side of the packaging to help release the scenes of the candle so you can smell it.
The interior fan urges other shoppers to head to Aldi for the dupe.
She says: “Yeah, make sure you check out Aldi and see if you can get your hands On these amazing dupes.”
The video has attracted thousands of likes, with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “The cherry pie candle was nowhere near as strong as the other two! The diffuser is the best version.”
Another explained how Aldi do luxury designer Diptyque dupes there as well.
They added: “I had to go to 3 aldis before I found them!”
However, Fenlon Interiors wasn’t so impressed with those and wrote: “I thought the Diptyque ones were really disappointing. Hope they do a better one in future for us.”
Other shopping fans were confused as to why they couldn't find the dupes online.
The Fenlon account replied: “Anooo [I know] I’m not sure why it's not advertised. In store only.”
