SHOPPERS are rushing to Lidl for a bargain kitchen gadget you can use to make a DIY McDonald’s meal on the cheap.
The budget supermarket is selling Drew & Cole Breakfast Makers for just £24.99.
Lidl claims the Breakfast Sandwich Maker can make: “The world’s most famous egg muffin breakfast sandwich and more at home.”
The gadget uses a three-layered cooking system claiming to: “Toast the muffin, cook the egg and heat the meat, all at the same time.”
On a practical note, the breakfast maker is easy to clean and durable, and the non-stick cooking plates are easy to wipe clean.
The removable cooking rings are even dishwasher-safe.

Another claimed they could make: “Homemade Mcmuffs.”
However, there were some shoppers who were distrustful of the bargain.
One user said: “Wouldn’t trust it.”
Shoppers can even download the Drew and Cole Recipe App which details how to make ‘The Perfect Breakfast Muffin.’
For the recipe you’ll need:
- 1 English muffin, split
- 1 cheese slice
- 1 – 2 slices precooked bacon or ham, or a sausage patty
- 1 large egg
You can also find the Drew and Cole Breakfast Sandwich Maker in other stores but for a much steeper price.
Adsa, B&Q and Currys have the same gadget priced at £39.
At the moment Aldi poses the greatest competition with their Breakfast Muffin Maker selling for £29.99.
Aldi claims the gadget will help fast food fans recreate popular McDonald’s McMuffins at home for just 75p per serving.
A standard Sausage and Egg McMuffin will set you back £3.59 in McDonalds and Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin is currently £4.39.
How can I save money at Lidl?
There are a few ways you can make your money stretch further when shopping in Lidl.
Shop early to get the best deals in Lidl’s bargain hour
Lidl reduces items at the start of the day and the best deals can be found between 7am to 8am, when most stores open.
It’s not guaranteed you’ll find massive reductions each time you visit, but getting to your local when it opens will maximise your chance.
You can find your local branch’s opening times online.
Keep track of the pick of the week
You can also keep tabs on what’s appearing in the “Pick of the Week” section on the Lidl website.
The discounts happen every Thursday and are usually on fruit, vegetables and meat.
Use social media and the Lidl app
To stay in the know, follow Lidl on all its social media outlets. Another way to keep up with offers is by downloading Lidl’s app.
