Aldi Crinkle Chips £1.09 Vs McCain Crinkle Chips £3.50

Today i compare Aldi crinkle cut chips, priced £1.09, against McCain crinkle cut chips priced £3.50

[@Erik-LehnsherrX]

Yeah both look good. I would also just get the Aldi. 3 bags for the price of 1 McCain. No way they will taste almost £2.50 extra better.

[@OldFoodGuy]

100% Erik

I've got the very same Aldi crinkle cut chips in my freezer right now, although the price has gone up to £1.19. Even if the McCain ones are tastier, I would not pay that much more. I like the Aldi ones. They're fine. I have the round Ninja air fryer, too. It's fantastic for chips and hash browns.

[@OldFoodGuy]

Yes Super, Aldi for value 100%

[@JulieAngela304]

I would definitely go with the Aldi OFG. Thank you for doing this review so we know the difference.

[@OldFoodGuy]

You are so welcomeJulie

[@annejones8777]

Hello. Years ago I got the McCain ones as they were lovely done in the chip pan. Not having a chip pan now, they get done in the oven and I get the aldi ones. Love the price and they are great chips . Thanks for sharing

[@OldFoodGuy]

No problem Anne

[@sbrader97]

The best aldi chips ive had is triple cooked beef dripping ones but there often out of stock at my local aldi. The bag is only 750g for £1.49 so there not the best value but there nice with some fish they actually taste a bit like chip shop chips

[@Erik-LehnsherrX]

Oh they sound nice. I will keep an eye out for those. I’m eating the Iceland Harry Ramsden ones at the moment. They are the best frozen ones I’ve tried to be fair. But Beef dripping sounds amazing.🤤

[@OldFoodGuy]

They are delicious Stephen i did them the other day

[@leej4914]

get a big bag of the beef dripping chips in iceland they used to be £3 but now £3.50 still good value

[@uweinhamburg]

Several years ago, McDonalds did end beef dripping for their chips around here and went plant oil like all the others. The taste of their fries was never the same... 😒

[@richardgoddard37]

Have you tried McCain's Gastro Chips ? Very pricey (£3.30 at Sainsbury's) but triple cooked in beef dripping😋

[@bumfarto1]

Yet another great review. I would go Aldi, especially if you have an air fryer, as they would taste better cooked in one. We can't have McCains as most are coated in wheat and my wife is gluten intolerant. Aldi chips, pie or fish fingers, peas, bread and butter... Oh yes. All the best from Birmingham.

[@OldFoodGuy]

Cheers mate

[@raygray7779]

Mccains are the only oven chips I like tbh. I know they are more expensive but they are better chips. I hate vinegar too. It's horrible and stinks. Top review. 👍👍👍

[@OldFoodGuy]

thanks Ray

[@LeeJohn70]

Both look good. Best to buy the McCains when on offer

[@OldFoodGuy]

If on offer would deffo bye mate

[@FateBoost]

I was at Tesco today, £1.65 for own brand, or £2 for McCain (1kg) on club card price. Decided to just pay the extra 25p. Might as well at that point.

[@OldFoodGuy]

For the little bit extra good choice

[@jshaw4757]

I like the crispy bits can't stand chips with no colour may aswell just have boiled potatoes lol....but I make my own oven chips from fresh potatoes par boil em then you add oil n spices n garlic n it all gets right into the already cooked potatoes then just whack in oven on 220 for 15 mins..super tasty n fluffy you could do a video making your own ovens chips I would like too see what you come up with...cheers

[@OldFoodGuy]

OK mate will do

[@richardgoddard37]

Sainsbury's have "Extra Crispy" chips, with skin on, and they're amazing. I noticed yesterday they've brought out extra crispy crinkle cut chips now, I'll try them later.

[@barbaramoffett7342]

As usual a good review they looked nice those cheaper chips I normally get the McCain ones but it makes me want to try some other brands thanking for that don't knock till you try as they say Barbara x Northern Ireland x

[@davidetchells8045]

the best chips are the ones you make yourself , how much dose a potato cost , cut it in to chip size and cook

[@OldFoodGuy]

Can’t beat homemade David

[@mattfrancis4569]

8:20 hahah same mate, great review and laugh. love from cornwall as always

[@OldFoodGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it matt

[@danielvaughan4155]

These times I'll go for aldi, we all must make compromises and this is one way! Great review 👏 thanks👍😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

thanks Daniel

[@JLR-gf3le]

Just found your channel I love a good food reviewer you sound common to West Midlands maybe could be wrong tho looking forward to watching your past and future vids 😊

[@OldFoodGuy]

Thanks JLR. You’re right I’m close to the west mids

[@garyrichards9653]

Chips. The food for great men.

[@OldFoodGuy]

Yes Gary

[@TheWandererTravelVlogs]

3 in a day you mad man! lol, Fair play bud, Aldi's looked more like crinkle fries but that isn't a bad thing.

[@OldFoodGuy]

Yes mate. Got to help the Wife tomorrow so might not be able to upload

[@thebigman170]

Massive price difference there. We always get the Aldi one's love em.

[@OldFoodGuy]

For the price it's aldi for me mate

[@rodgercostello9814]

@@OldFoodGuy prime example of paying for brand culture. Only thing i wont change are hp beans and heinz tomato sauce lol

[@bucko321]

Good review OFG..... I would buy McCain coz I don't eat a lot of frozen chips ... The have more fluffy potato.... To be fair

[@OldFoodGuy]

Cheers Mark. If you don’t eat many chips then I would go for McCains as well mate

[@francisraffle2948]

I'd get the sldi ones every time great value for money

[@OldFoodGuy]

Yes Fran

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Just buy a bag of potatoes for 69p from Home Bargains and save a fortune. They taste better and go further.

[@OldFoodGuy]

Can't beat homemade Kevin

[@kevinhoughton9134]

I've given this vlog the thumbs up by the way!

[@OldFoodGuy]

Thanks for that! Kevin

[@FateBoost]

Just bought an air fryer for like £40. Hopefully it was worthwhile .

[@OldFoodGuy]

Where did you get it from? Mine was only cheap and it works fine so you should be alright

[@majiek1304]

Aldi are the only supermarket who don't seem to put prices up

[@OldFoodGuy]

They have put their prices up a bit but not as much as other supermarkets

[@carenhughan4760]

The prices of some brand name food is ridiculous. Some of the Aldi and Lidl products are the same sort of food. Not bad

[@OldFoodGuy]

100% agree Caren

[@chibbledorf]

Aldi do some "specially selected chunky and golden oven chips" - £1.99 for 1.5kg they're pretty good, much fatter and more fluffy.

[@OldFoodGuy]

I will try them mate, Thanks

[@bigsteve9291]

I call them the stocking filler lol aldi chips that grandkids love with burgers or chicken burgers nuggets and they love cheesy chips with them but a do like the mccanes if I have steak great review

[@OldFoodGuy]

Thanks Steve

[@bigdaddigaming]

I have a crinkle cutter and I make my own mate😁😋😉👍🏻

[@OldFoodGuy]

I had one of the years ago mate

[@bigdaddigaming]

@@OldFoodGuy got to admit mines quite old, my sister saved it for me when I moved to America and sent it over to me must be 16 or 17 years ago, I'm guessing it's over 30 years old but it still works great

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Got those beef dripping ones to taste later this week Three bags are better than one and it's those pointless tiny burnt scraps that shouldn't happen in chips only to make the weight up

[@OldFoodGuy]

I liked the beef dripping chips but our Nat hated them.

[@lindabiggs3905]

Mc Cain worth it,,,

[@OldFoodGuy]

Not for the price Linda

[@susiecrawley2701]

I looked at the video but had no sound .no worres I liked it

[@OldFoodGuy]

No sound Susie, sorry about that

[@pam14321]

Even if the Aldi aren’t as nice I’d learn to love them for that price difference.😂🥰

[@OldFoodGuy]

Yes Pam

[@Ianjowett1]

when your on ya arse after covid 3 bags for one i go aldi be reet with a bit of sauce and eggs

[@OldFoodGuy]

Yes Ian 100%

[@shadimurwi7170]

Wow

[@alondraeugenia9910]

Aldi's look so crispy and tasty from the airfryer but mccains look like Del Taco fries which I love best 😭👍

[@artie70]

another banger

[@OldFoodGuy]

Cheers artemis

[@chriscoughlan5221]

I prefer to mek my own chips from scratch

[@OldFoodGuy]

and me

[@catherine1428]

Dont think you can beat McCain, but price wise for familys aldi... But i dont eat alot of chips, but id alwsys go McCain...

[@OldFoodGuy]

McCains are good if you don’t eat a lot of chips

[@muzzerhutton6830]

Just paying for a thicker chip and a brand name go cheap save loads mate

[@OldFoodGuy]

yes Muzzer
