A $25 item from one supermarket has been compared to a designer item that was initially sold for more than $600.
Aldi customers have praised the $24.99 Premium Hair Dryer that comes with a diffuser and concentrator.
Some have even compared it to the popular brand Dyson, with social media user Beth looking into the comparison as she used to have a Dyson hair dryer that broke and had purchased the Aldi one as a replacement.
“It is too cheap not to try,” she told her TikTok following.
She said the backs of the device were different and typically the Dyson accessories were magnetic but the Aldi ones weren’t.
“It’s certainly not as quiet but it’ll do the job, it’s also bloody hotter than the other one,” she said.
Another social media user, who goes by @ate_doray02, spotted the 3-in-1 Multifunctional Hair Styler that retails for $49.99.
It comes with a curler, smoothing brush and a hair straighter that can reach up to 200°C.
She also pointed out that the supermarket was selling Garnier hair food.
“It’s great to see our customers excited about the new Premium Hair Dryer and 3-in-1 Multifunctional Hair Styler that just hit ALDI shelves,” an Aldi spokesperson told news.com.au.
“With powerful performance, an array of versatile attachments, and prices that won’t split your ends – these affordable hair tools are perfect for creating stunning styles that will leave you feeling fabulous.
“Hurry in store to pick one up before it blows past as this range is available at ALDI for a limited time only.”
Meanwhile, other customers pointed out there were items that were similar in packaging to the popular Sol de Janeiro brand.
Other social media users were excited at the new beauty range Special Buys collection.
“I literally ran to Aldi and smelled the body sprays and they smell nothing like the Sol De Janeiro body mists,” one social media user commented.
Another added: “I snapped up the 3 in 1 hairstyles!”
“I got the hair dryer brush and it works great! Cut down the time spent from blowing out my 4A type hair from 30 minutes down to 10 minutes,” another social media user added.
One commented: “Okay I need to go to Aldi.”
“I put a thing about the Sol De Janeiro dupes on Facebook yesterday and they were sold out today,” one said.
One commented: “OMG I just got one this morning! Had to go to a second store to find one. I saw such amazing reviews!”
