ALDI Vs ASDA Vs McCain Frozen CHIP Comparison Which is BEST for your BUDGET??

Chip comparison. Food review.

[@nigel3455]

The Mccain frozen chips are definitely on another level. Crispy, fluffy and always come out delicious. Sure, you pay more but i think it's worth it.

[@jevward5428]

No from me due to the additives

[@leelaird1544]

Far £4 you can get 4 bags far ASDA

[@martymart7892]

The Harry Ramsden chips at Iceland are pretty decent.Closest thing you'll get to a chippy chip from a frozen oven cooked chip,in my opinion.

[@sharonboltwood3398]

I get them all the time for John but would eat any

[@jackiesaunders9013]

Martin Jordan I agree I also got the skin on fries and chiquitto peri peri fries and the southern fries for grandkids they all tasted ok.But the Harry Ramsdens are ones we like I get them with all my orders.

[@lochamb1234]

I've never tried the Harry Ramsden ones as my son only eats skinny fries or the vile southern fried chips and I seldom eat them ...although I don't really like skinny fries. Next time I'm in Iceland I'll get a bag for myself and partner when he comes for tea

[@Matt19matt19]

Just been to Tesco today, thought I'd have a look for any chips that looked like the McCain's ones. Tesco home style straight cut chips. £1.80 I think they were. Really good and give the McCain's a run for their money. Definitely worth a review. Cook nicely and the chips are large ones.

[@013doogie]

Hi Gareth, firstly, you are my go to channel when I've had enough of what's going on with our world these days, as far as chips go , you can't beat home made , deep fried in beef dripping , but my favourite oven chips just now are Tesco naked, excellent stuff Gareth

I’d go with Aldi. Value for money. If you put as much “seasoning “ that McCain do in manufacturing of courses its going to taste different. (Not £3 worth). Plus the Aldi was better on the “traffic light” system. Great review as ever.👍

[@Matt19matt19]

McCain's home chips all the way for me. They cook the best, usually when you oven cook chips the times are a lie and you need to cook them longer than stated. But McCain's cook really well. The texture is the best too. Oh and they're now on roll back for £3. Best place to buy the McCain's is Iceland. They have a bigger bag in their 3 for £10 mix and match. And there's loads of good stuff in that offer.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

yes they were tasty Matt

[@Matt19matt19]

@@BaldFoodieGuy heron foods has some McCain's chips in £2 for a massive bag, they were destined for restaurants and pubs but for some reason got diverted to heron. If you're ever in a pub and the chips look formed in a factory rather than being chipped on site then they're probably McCain's.

[@simonworthington5162]

Interesting i enjoy the McCains straight cut and E5.99 a bag and do them in my Philips Air Fryer and a few onion rings going in also. There might be a time when i have to go yellow pack for sure. Nice review .

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Simon

[@davidbates3057]

The thing with a lot of the supermarket branded items is that they usually come from the same place, ie, McCain's in this case, only they're the products that don't quite meet the manufacturing standard for the brand and they lack the garnishing. The nutrients you get are all the same, the only difference is the taste, and tbh, what they've added to the McCains you could probably add to the basics for a third of the price. In fact, if you're going to add salt and vinegar or ketchup anyway, you're arguably paying for additions in the McCains that you won't even taste.

[@stevelee838]

Gareth, Aldi's salt content is actually less than a fifth than the MCcains one's i.e 0.09g vesus 0.43g! even lower with the Asda as well. Love your videos :) 🤩

Cheers Mary 👍👍

[@rosemarygriffin2184]

As soon as you started and I saw mc Cain home fry's crinkle chips, those are the oven chips for me, I've tried all sorts, but to me, they are the best! After having a chip pan fire at home when I was a child, I vowed that I'd never own a chip pan, I've never had one in my house, but the best home cooked chip, cut your chips, leave in water a few hours or overnight, day them and cook them the old fashioned way, in beef dripping, lovely light fluffy, and crispy on the outside, just like my mother used to make, and it wasn't her that left the chip pan on, it was my dad, say no more!

[@RS-ln3ns]

THAT'S VERY TRUE. IF YOU LEAVE YOUR CUT CHIPS IN WATER OVERNIGHT, WHEN YOU FRY THEM, THEY COME OUT FLUFFY ON THE INSIDE AND CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE. HOMEMADE CHIPS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST BECAUSE THEY TASTE NATURAL AND ALSO TASTE A LOT MORE NICER THAN THE FROZEN ONES.

[@Macwestie]

Keep up the good work for the people and without a doubt us the people who unfortunately are skint...Ur reviews help us save a few quid.....

[@davidcampbell7209]

I only use hand cut fresh chips at home but with millions of people cutting expenses £3 saving is a lot of money to anyone under financial pressure. Thanks for your time to upload these informative clips. From starting to watch your clips we are looking at prices a lot more and the difference in taste very often is not worth the extra cost.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

[@smudgermick]

I bought Asda essentials the other day but only because the only alternative (like for like) in Asda were McCain, as we didn't want French Fries. I would have bought the McCain ones, but as they contain flour my wife cannot have them - she has a gluten intolerance. I get that flavour is (very) important, but sometimes more ingredients alienates a bigger percentage of potential customers. Thanks again for this Gareth. keep up the good work!

For the last few months my regular food shopping has been from Aldi and so I have been homing in on their cheapest bag of chips almost every visit. The bag size is generous and I know I can add salt, paprika or chilli flakes if wanting to and I like to add butter sometimes. Mix the chips in the melting butter to spruce them up a little and also to help flavourings to stick.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks 👌

Guys, you can make your own. It's so simple. Cut potatoes (the right potatoes though for the job) with their skins into chips or a bit bigger. Seasons them with whatever you want and drizzle your favourite oil on them. That's a 5 min job. Then cook them as you would these frozen chips 20-25mins. Infinitely better chips.

Those are exactly the same as the straight cut ones from aldi and less in the bag.

Dextrose is basically sugar derived from wheat. Not sure why that's needed, maybe helps the crust as it caramelises. I bought the tesco on recently as i went there instead of aldi to have a look at their prices. 1.5KG straight cut for 99p which is same price as Aldi. Couldn't tell the difference apart from the tesco one being a tad darker and crispier... but I may have cooked em longer.

i used to work for a large supermarket when the pallets of frozen chips came in. in the pallet we used to get boxes of chips mixed in from all the supermarkets in the pallet there all made in the same factory we used to have to put the other supermarket cases of chips in the skips total waste of money we weren't even allowed to take them home even though the supermarket couldn't sell them

Hi Gareth. I've given up on buying brand name chips. With all the seasonings and coatings they have, the actual potato flavour of the chip is lost. So it's just the cheap chips and I sprinkle them with Vegetta vegetable stock powder and a quick toss before airfrying. Perfect chips every time. Another fine comparison review today Gareth.

one of the areas for me,where i find it hard to find a cheaper substitute,the mccains do taste much better,problem i find with cheaper brands is,cut thin,in oven some just turn to crispy bits,lots of really small chips in bag,but costwise,mccains are over the top,some of the cheaper potato croquettes arent bad,more potato,cook better,good alternative to chips
