Aldi's £10 summer essential is easy to fold up & carry down to the beach – and it's half the price of Ikea's version
The item, which is £9.99, could very well bring out your inner Jamie Oliver and keep hunger at bay.
Aldi is currently selling a foldable BBQ which measures approximately 33.5cm by 29cm for under £10.
The discount supermarket chain is advertising the product as: 'A portable BBQ that's perfect for all your travel and storage needs.'
You will need to buy any charcoal separately.
It comes with its own grill and a protective shield around the outside.
The Aldi BBQ is half the price of a similar offering from Ikea, which is currently reduced by £5 to £20.
Ikea's black Korpon, a portable charcoal barbeque, is described as being 'perfect for bringing to the beach, the park or on a camping trip.'
The Ikea model is a similar size to the Aldi one, measuring 35cm by 19cm and weighs 2kg.
The product got the thumbs up from users online, with the BBQ scoring 4.7 stars out of five, with a total of 16 reviews.
One happy customer wrote: 'Great design and well made.
'Ideal cooking surface and less problems with food getting burnt.'
The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ
Another said: 'Absolutely brilliant piece of kit… plenty of cooking space, used after as a fire pit when camping.'
While a third reviewer posted: 'Perfect little bbq for two of us. Big enough for four decent size burgers.
"Easy to clean as fits in the sink and dishwasher.'
Aldi fans may also want to stock up on this sweet treat while they're going round the isles as it is back on the shelves.
The german retailer has also confirmed that its sell-out Specially Selected Pistachio Creme will not be leaving stores anytime soon.
This comes after Aldi revealed that the product had previously sold at a record speed - one jar every three seconds.
Shoppers have also been flocking to Tesco to get their hands on another pistachio spread which makes toast taste like the viral Dubai chocolate.
Tesco's take on the much-loved pistachio creme retails for £4 and is said to combine the flavours of the insanely popular Dubai chocolate but in a spreadable form.
M&S also jumped on the bandwagon earlier this year, with its luxury take on the product.
Retailing for a hefty £4.75 per jar, the M&S Collection Pistachio Creme still flew off the shelves, following its launch in February.

Starmer clashes with senior MP over welfare reform
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer clashed with one of his senior MPs over welfare reform as she said she felt 'ashamed' of the 'poor' legislation the Government had put forward. Work and pensions committee chairwoman Debbie Abrahams said the welfare bill was 'far removed' from Labour values as she questioned the Prime Minister at the Liaison Committee. She asked Sir Keir what he would like to say to the disabled people who experienced 'fear and anxiety' before the Government made concessions on its bill. 'Well, it's very important that they feel secure and supported, and that is at the heart of what we are doing in the changes we are making to welfare and related areas,' he said. Sir Keir said he did not accept that it would take several years before labour market changes allow more disabled people to be employed following Sir Charlie Mayfield's review, due in the autumn. Mrs Abrahams asked what he would do to mitigate against a potential 50,000 newly disabled people being pushed into poverty. Sir Keir said: 'I don't accept that everything is going to take years. Some changes do take years, but not all changes take years, and we have to do work in the interim to give that support to those with disabilities.' Mrs Abrahams said she felt 'ashamed' of the 'poor' welfare legislation the Government put forward. 'This was poor legislation. It was designed to save money for the Treasury by cutting support to sick and disabled people. 'It was so far removed from Labour values of fairness and social justice, let alone compassion and common decency. 'I have to say I felt ashamed.' Sir Keir later said he thought he could 'engage Parliament more' when asked what he might do differently after his first year, but also said he wants to remind people of the 'improvements' the Government has made. After a year in office, Sir Keir was asked what he wanted the UK to look like at the end of his first term in No 10. He said: 'I want people to feel better off and there has to be a central focus on living standards. 'I want them to feel – as they will – that the health service is working much better, is there for them and their families in a way that it hasn't been for many years. 'And I want them to feel safe and secure, both in their immediate neighbourhood and as a country, both our borders and national security and defence. 'So, they're the three things that I'm focused on more than anything else.' Sir Keir's drive to improve the NHS could be derailed if resident doctors in England go ahead with strike action, which is due to begin on Friday. The Tory government faced waves of strike action in the NHS, which contributed to care backlogs. The Prime Minister has put international co-operation, including a promised one-in, one-out deal to return small boat migrants to France, at the heart of measures to control the borders. But arrivals are running at record levels for this point in a year, with the latest Home Office showing 23,534 people had crossed in small boats so far in 2025. The Liaison Committee, a panel made up of senior MPs who chair the various Commons select committees, was focusing on measures to tackle poverty. The Prime Minister, who is under pressure from within his own party to scrap the two-child benefits cap, said: 'People will not feel better-off or safe and secure if we haven't tackled poverty.' He said there were four 'limbs' to the Government's strategy: increasing incomes, decreasing costs, strengthening local support, including measures to get people into work and boosting financial resilience. 'I'm very proud of the fact that the last Labour government drove down poverty and I'm determined this Government is going to as well,' Sir Keir said.

Fiat and Vauxhall maker expects £2bn loss after US tariffs hit production
Fiat and Vauxhall carmaker Stellantis is expecting losses to hit £2 billion for the first half of the year as Donald Trump's tariffs squeezed US deliveries and the company grapples with heavy charges. The Dutch business, which is one of the world's biggest automakers, told investors that shipments dropped in recent months partly due to tariff-related pauses in production. It reported a preliminary net loss of 2.3 billion euros (£2 billion) for the first half of 2025. This would mean it swinging to a significant loss after reporting a 5.6 billion euros (£4.9 billion) net profit the same time last year. It said it was expecting some 3.3 billion euros (£2.9 billion) worth of pre-tax net charges in relation to factors including a recent US law scrapping penalties for producing polluting cars, and the company's restructuring efforts. Donald Trump announced on imported vehicles, which has been in place since April" data-source=""> The early cost effects of Mr Trump's higher tariff rates on US imports was estimated to be 300,000 million euros (£260,000), including the impact of lost production. Stellantis halted production at plants in Canada and Mexico after the US president announced a 25% tariff on imported vehicles, which has been in place since April. The UK reached a deal with the US to reduce the levy on its car exports, but other countries remain in negotiations with officials. The firm has also been navigating an overhaul following the abrupt departure of former boss Carlos Tavares in December, and new boss Antonio Filosa appointed in May to oversee the group's turnaround. The carmaker, which also owns brands Jeep and Peugeot, revealed that shipments – meaning the volume of vehicles delivered to dealers and customers – declined over the latest period. In North America, shipments fell by about 109,000, or 25%, between April and June compared with the same period last year. This partly reflected the impact of reduced manufacturing and shipments of imported vehicles, driven by tariffs, it said. Totals sales also declined by a 10th year-on-year in the US, according to its preliminary figures.

Dumfries roundabout fully reopening after 'complex' gasworks
Businesses in Dumfries have spoken of their relief following confirmation that "complex" work to fix a gas leak is complete. The work began last month after reports by a member of the public of a gas escape on the A701 at the Bloomfield roundabout. It has led to the closure of the road northbound, lengthy delays on the nearby A75 Dumfries bypass, and disruption to a local farm park and a garden centre. Distribution company SGN has confirmed that the road will reopen on Wednesday. The work was originally scheduled to end on July 18, but this was delayed by slow ground test results following the discovery of a discarded asbestos Waseem Hanif confirmed that "specialist repairs" were now complete."Our team began resurfacing over the weekend and work continues at pace," he added."Due to the thickness of the tar and the multiple layers of road surface required to restore the carriageway to specification, each stage must be allowed sufficient time to cool and cure properly."We're working quickly and safely to complete the process, with the road expected to fully reopen on Wednesday 23 July," he said. During the roadworks local businesses like Dalscone Farm and Heathhall Garden Centre and its connected coffee shop have remained Best, owner of Dalscone Farm Fun, described the works as "horrendous" but added it was "fantastic" they were said it created "awful trading conditions" as the roundabout closure shut off 50% of the access to his property."That's been reflected in ticket numbers and turnover and it's been really, really difficult."People coming from further afield don't mind it as much - in the grand scheme of things it isn't too bad - but our local customers have just stayed away," he said. Nearby family-run Heathhall Garden Centre had a similar businesses dealt with a recent 11-week drainage project that saw two-way timed traffic lights this latest set of works has seen between a 25 and 30% drop off in business for the garden centre, its owner Barr said this level of works hadn't happened in more than 30 years."We just have to keep opening the doors hoping the local people that support us day to day come back and continue to support us," she said it was "grateful to the Dumfries community and local businesses" for their continued patience and support as it completed complex and vital work.
