The cheaper/ knock off versions of things that are just as good thread... [Edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

I love M&S Percy Pig sweets. But they are £1.69 per pack.
So I buy ‘Dinky Dogs’ from Poundland which are practically almost the same.

Do you know of other cheaper versions / imitations of products (be it food, drink, anything really!) that you can share?

Another vote for Next perfumes here. DD wanted Marc Jacob's Daisy but was happy to have the Next version, Flower, and it's lovely.

I wear White Amber by Next. No idea what it's a copy of, but it's gorgeous, lasts ages, and is affordable.

Generally speaking, anything chocolate is a million times nicer from Lidl than the big brands. I had some yesterday and DD had a bag of branded chocolates. I had one of hers - big mistake. It was oily and far too sweet. The Lidl chocolate was lush (reminds me of being in Germany.)

Aldi Teddy Faces are tastier than Pom Bears.

Aldi coconut water is exactly the same as the much more expensive Vita Coco, and nicer than the Innocent one.

Ive been asked a couple of times if im wear a Chanel perfume - its the Lidl Suddenly one at 3.99

A friend of mine loved it but when she wore it it smelt totally different on her though

Anything Aldi! There isn’t much I’ve tried that isn’t the same or better as the branded version. I LOVE the q10 multi intensive serum from there, have used it for years after being recommended it by a beautician.

Next perfumes are very good value as well, not sure if they are all dupes but just pink = Ralph Lauren, aura = alien, eau nude = Chanel.

Not sure if it classes as a dupe but I tried the phoera foundation I was always seeing ads for and it’s amazing and about £4 a bottle! I’ve actually thrown out a bottle of £30 Clinique foundation as I’m never going to use it again, phoera is so much better.

@soloula late response I know but I agree. I have both with the initial idea of using the NYX just for eyeshadow brushes but it smells amazing unlike the urban decay one.
