ALDI is releasing a range of Le Creuset dupes at a fraction of the price.
Shoppers can save almost $1,000 by buying these four kitchen staples from Aldi rather than the premium French brand.
6 Qt. Cast Iron Dutch Oven – Navy[/caption]
First up is Aldi’s version of the Round Dutch Oven.
At six quarts, the large oven dishes can easily cope with a one-pot meal for an entire family.
With a heat-resistant nob and two handles, you can pop it inside your oven with confidence.
Aldi is flogging them for just $30 – a whopping $390 saving on the Le Creuset price of $420.
That’s the biggest saving of the range – but the discounts are certainly not to be sniffed at.

Next is the Cast Iron Grill Pan.
This looks identical to Le Creuset’s own Cast Iron Square Grillit, and is perfect for seal your food quickly to lock in moisture.
At only $20, customers save $205 off the Le Creuset price.

The third cheaper alternative is Aldi’s Cast Iron Sauce Pan.
Le Creuset sells a very similar lidded round pan for $268 – an eye-watering $248 more than Aldi’s humble price of $20.

And finally, there is the Cast Iron Fry Pan – a very convincing replica of Le Creuset’s Signature Skillet.
Just like the original, the round frying pan comes with two pouring lips to help unload liquid and a helping handle.
These are suitable for ovens, grills, BBQs and all hob types.
Unlike the original, Aldi’s pan costs just $60 – a saving of $115.
The set falls under Aldi’s own, Crofton, if you’re looking for it in store.
Total possible savings come to a huge $998.
While you’re there, it’s worth having a look at other household essentials going cheap.
There are at least five fall items that Aldi shoppers should watch out for right now to scoop up some sweet savings.
The retailer notably rotates its Aldi Finds section on a weekly basis, offering deals on exclusive and limited-time products.
Aldi Finds are typically placed in the middle aisle or a specifically defined section at the brand’s over 2,500 stores.
Items as part of the collection can also be purchased online, and Aldi tends to tease the upcoming releases on its website.
All of the products for the week of September 3 to September 9 have been dropped, and there are some seasonal standouts.
Autumn is approaching fast, and five items on Aldi’s list are must-haves as the weather cools off and the holidays start again.
