Many bargain hunters were excited about the new meal kits. Not only do they look delicious, but they also save parents time by not having to drive to McDonald’s or wait in long lines at the drive-thru.
An Aldi customer was so excited about the handy kits that she posted them on social media to warn others, leaving many jaws dropped.

Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts?
IF you have ever shopped at Aldi or Lidl, you have probably experienced the super-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s reputation as a fast supermarket is not without reason. The supermarket chain even claims that its checkouts are 40 percent faster than those of competitors.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible, which, the budget retailer claims, helps keep costs down for customers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging allow employees to scan items as quickly as possible. Most products have multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
Shelf-ready packaging is also used, keeping replenishment costs low.
These tasty packages are also suitable for preparation in the air fryer.
Customers were very happy with the low cost kits and many responded en masse to the comments to express this.
Someone said, “I gotta have some of those.”
Another added: “Awesome, definitely on my shopping list!”
A third commented: “Ooo, they look good.”
While someone else wrote: “I did three sets of five of them last night and they all loved it.”
