• Bargain hunters are thrilled with Heron Foods' £5 meal deal resembling McDonald's.
• The deal includes frozen chicken nuggets, fries, ice lollies, and more.
• Shoppers claim the nuggets taste "just like McDonald's".

Fast food aficionados are flocking to snag a budget-friendly meal deal at Heron Foods that's strikingly similar to McDonald's offerings, according to a buzz in the bargain-hunting community. The word on the street (or rather, online) comes from a thrifty shopper who couldn't wait to share their find with fellow deal seekers in a Facebook Group.

The anonymous savvy shopper was floored by both the price and the taste of the items. They took to social media to spread the word, saying, "This is the Heron Foods freezer deal this week – and can I just say the nuggets taste like McDonald's." The deal, a feast for the senses and the wallet, includes frozen chicken nuggets, a hefty 1.8kg bag of fries, ice lollies, and a choice between beans or mozzarella sticks, all for a mere £5. It's a game-changer for families, particularly those grappling with the cost-of-living crisis, translating to a cost of just £1 per person for a family of five.

Many chimed in with their thoughts on this find. Some lauded Heron for its unbeatable deals, while others expressed a wish for a store nearer to them. Echoing the original poster's sentiments, one user confirmed, "We buy these nuggets all the time, they actually taste like McDonald's." However, not everyone was completely satisfied; one critique was levied at the fries, likened to "french fries cut in half."

Daniel Coles at The Sun reported that Heron Foods, a hidden gem among supermarkets, has been a go-to for "big-name bargains for less," helping Brits save on their monthly grocery bill. Acquired by B&M Stores in 2017, Heron Foods has expanded significantly, now boasting over 300 stores and employing more than 5,000 people.

The store is renowned for its deals, which quickly become the talk of the town. Recently, chocolate lovers were over the moon about discounts on "party size" bags of M&M's. With Mother's Day approaching, another crowd-pleaser is the discounted Cadbury chocolate box, alongside luxury chocolates offered at just £1.

Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, commented, "This incredible deal from Heron Foods showcases how savvy shopping can not only satisfy our fast food cravings but do so in a way that's kind to our wallets. It's a testament to the value that can be found with a little bit of bargain hunting."
