Although Aldi is known for its big brand dupes it's actually Iceland that's dupeing the fast food chain.

Iceland has launched a Double Mac Dipping Sauce in stores for £1.50 per 200g.

The sauce is a mayonnaise-based dip with tomato ketchup, onion and gherkins just like in a McDonald's Big Mac.

Fans went crazy for the sauce when it was shared on Facebook. 

One user complained: “Always sold out near me.”

“Sauce heaven,” said another user.

“I wanna try soo bad,” a third user said.

A fourth user argued: “It’s pretty close to Big Mac sauce. Definitely a nice sauce.” 

The supermarket also releases other sauces, the Piri Piri dipping sauce ideal for Nandos in stores for £1.50.

A new Ranch dipping sauce is also in Iceland stores which is a buttermilk and mayonnaise dip with garlic puree.

The new sauces are available online although you may need to head to a few different stores before you find the flavour you're looking for. 

If you’re ordering online bear in mind you will need to factor in a delivery charge.

Shoppers have long been fans of Icelands McDonald’s dupes which are 70% cheaper than the originals.

The Snacksters range is like having a takeaway McDonald’s at home for a fraction of the price.

You’ll make the biggest saving on the Iceland Chicken Stack which is £1.80 and nearly 70% cheaper than the original Chicken Big Mac. 

You can also grab the Iceland 20 chicken nuggets which are going for £3.50, these are £2.10 cheaper than the original McDonald’s 20 chicken nuggets. 

If you like the Big Mac you can try the Big Stack which is only £1.80, £3.19 cheaper than its McDonald’s counterpart. 

All of the Iceland Snackster range requires cooking, though most items will be ready within 15 minutes in an oven.

You can store them in the freezer and they can be cooked in an air fryer, though cooking times will differ. 

Remember stock will be limited from store to store and some might not have it for the same price.

Note McDonald's prices also vary by location.
