Lidl's dupe of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, 'Suddenly'? Aldi's dupe of Fanta, 'Vive Orange'?

What dupes - or simply alternatives - have you been impressed by?

    Cheap item that is very similar to a branded, generally more expensive item.

    Probably Aldi or Lidl versions of Bahlsen Choco Leibnitz.

    The chocolate does not fit the biscuit?

    Lidl's version of Magnums are really good, with creamier ice cream and thicker chocolate than the original. 
    Have to agree with this - particularly ones with almonds - also they are not quite as sweet. I buy the minis with good intentions but it is very rare that I can stop at one.
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    I used to buy Iceland's Magnum equivalent when they were 4 for £1 with 10% discount but they've gone up to £1.50

    Farm Foods are doing genuine magnums at 3 for 99p so have got some of those now.
