$7 Aldi Bulk Buys kitchen item Aussies begging for returns
Aldi's popular Bulk Household Special Buys range is back from July 16 and it is set to feature the fan favourite Goliath 300m Cling Wrap. The cling wrap retails for $6.99.
Customers have been begging for the item's return, with some revealing it had lasted them more than two years.
'Finally finished the 300m cling wrap after two years and three months,' one Aldi fan revealed.
'And then hubby bought the 600m today. Guess we don't need another box for four-and-a-half-years.'
Another declared the item 'worth it' after purchasing it for her family of six.
'You can see they lasted us a while and still looks like there is a fair bit on each roll. I'd hate to think how many 30m rolls at Coles or Woolworths I would have bought at that time for $5 I would have bought in that time.'
The cling wrap was given a 78 per cent rating by CHOICE after it noted no pulling or tearing with use, and a 'good sealing performance'.
Other items in the Bulk Household Special Buys include the $10.99 Baking Paper 90m. the $16.99 Aluminium Foil 150m, $24.99 Laundry Powder 5kg and the $7.99 Super Strength Dishwashing Liquid 3L.
In 2022, customers were stunned to discover there was a cling wrap cutter hidden at the end of the roll.
'Whoever the clever person was that mentioned the cling wrap cutter … a thousand thanks,' one woman shared, after being directed to it by another fan.
In a second image it showed if customers opened the side of the box, it was hidden inside the roll.
Hundreds of social media comments rolled in, with many stunned at the revelation.
'OMG I just found it after using the cling wrap for at least six months,' one person said.
'I just wasted a bit just to see how easily it cut.'
The Goliath Cling Wrap 30m, which retails for $1.65, comes with a standard cutter and is part of the every day range.
However, the 300m is part of the Special Buys and the cutter is found inside the tube.

Sydney Sweeney reportedly backed by Jeff Bezos for racy new career move
Jeff Bezos' latest investment is a new lingerie line designed by Sydney Sweeney. The Emmy-nominated actress, known for her roles in the HBO series 'Euphoria' and 'The White Lotus,' has been working on a lingerie line that has received backing from Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez, a source familiar with the matter told US Weekly. Sweeney was invited to the couple's June wedding in Venice, Italy. 'This has been a huge project for her and something she's been working on for the last year,' the source said. Her brand, which will reportedly debut 'soon,' was backed by Ben Schwerin, a partner at private equity firm Coatue. The private equity firm recently launched a fund focused on investing in high-growth public and private tech companies. The family offices of Bezos and PC company founder Michael Dell have committed to provide $US1 billion of the initial capital for the fund, according to The Wall Street Journal. A pitch deck seen by the Journal indicated the fund aims to invest between 20 to 50 per cent of its assets in private investments with the rest earmarked for public stocks. Bezos has already invested capital in several companies in the tech, healthcare, aerospace, finance and media industries. Most of those investments are made through his venture capital firm, Bezos Expeditions, and through Nash Holdings, which owns The Washington Post. Now, some of his funds will back the actress's first brand. During her rapid rise to fame, Sweeney has formed partnerships and become the brand ambassador for several major companies, including HeyDude footwear, Bai beverages, Laneige skincare and Kérastase haircare. Recently, she made headlines with a campaign for men's natural body wash brand Dr. Squatch, selling a limited-edition soap reportedly made with her own bathwater.

Stock markets dip as US inflation puts focus on Trump's tariffs
Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Most US and European share indices slid on Tuesday, as US inflation data indicated President Donald Trump's tariffs could be feeding into the American economy. In New York, the Nasdaq traded higher, propelled by buoyant news from tech darling Nvidia. But the blue-chip Dow and broader S&P 500 both struggled. The dollar gained ground as prospects of a US interest rate cut dimmed, while oil prices slipped. The US consumer price index for June showed inflation rose 2.7 percent compared with a year earlier. Though in line with economists' forecasts, the rate was above the Federal Reserve's two-percent target. Jochen Stanzl, an analyst at CMC Markets, said detail in the CPI report "points to a trend toward stagflation -- an unwelcome topic for investors in an increasingly overvalued market". Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, said that "the CPI release showed some early signs of tariff pass-through but underlying inflation remains muted". Analysts said US inflation could pick up further in coming months, as businesses exhaust pre-tariff stockpiles and pass on their higher import costs to consumers. "Rising prices will make it harder for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates and tougher for families living paycheck to paycheck," said Heather Long, chief economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union. Since April, the United States has imposed a baseline 10-percent tariff on goods imported from main trading partners, with steeper levies on steel, aluminium and cars. Trump has threatened 30-percent tariffs on European Union and Mexican goods from August 1 if they do not cut trade deals with Washington. - Tariff threat to Russia - Most Asian indices closed higher before the US inflation report came out, except for those in Shanghai and Mumbai. China and India are both big trading partners of Russia -- which Trump said would be hit with tariffs of up to 100 percent within 50 days if President Vladimir Putin did not end his war on Ukraine. China, which has negotiated a US tariff truce, had on Tuesday issued economic growth data that met expectations, largely thanks to an April-June export surge to get ahead of Trump's levies. Even though Russia is a major crude producer, oil traders bid prices lower, not higher, following Trump's announcement. "The fact that oil prices fell suggests investors are relieved that Trump has allowed sufficiently enough time for Putin to agree to a ceasefire," said Fawad Razaqzada, analyst at "They are also getting used to Trump threating tariffs, only to change his mind in the last minute and extend deadlines," he said. OPEC said in its latest monthly market report it was holding firm on its production forecasts for oil demand to rise by 1.3 million barrels in 2025 and again in 2026. "Continued robust global economic growth is expected... despite ongoing US-centred trade challenges and geopolitical uncertainties," it said. In corporate news, US banks JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citi posted strong second-quarter results. And Nvidia's share price jumped after it said US export restrictions will be eased to allow it to sell its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China. - Key figures at around 1545 GMT - New York - Dow: DOWN 0.6 percent at 44,190.75 points New York - S&P 500: FLAT at 6,267.11 New York - Nasdaq Composite: UP 0.6 percent at 20,771.85 London - FTSE 100: DOWN 0.7 percent at 8,938.32 (close) Paris - CAC 40: DOWN 0.5 percent at 7,766.21 (close) Frankfurt - DAX: DOWN 0.4 percent at 24,060.29 (close) Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 0.6 percent at 39,678.02 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 1.6 percent at 24,590.12 (close) Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.4 percent at 3,505.00 (close) Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.1615 from $1.1670 Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.3393 from $1.3428 Dollar/yen: UP at 148.87 yen from 147.77 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 86.73 pence from 86.88 pence Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.4 percent at $68.97 per barrel West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.5 percent at $66.66 per barrel burs/rmb/rlp Originally published as Stock markets dip as US inflation puts focus on Trump's tariffs

Stocks diverge, as US inflation puts focus on Trump's tariffs
Global stock markets went in different directions on Tuesday, as an uptick in US inflation suggested President Donald Trump's tariffs could be beginning to feed into the American economy. New York was generally trading higher on the back of healthy results from major US banks and buoyant news in the tech sector. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were up, though the Dow Jones was struggling. Most Asian indices rose but Europe's stock markets slipped into the red late in the day. The US consumer price index for June showed an acceleration to 2.7 percent from a year earlier, in line with economists' forecasts. "The CPI release showed some early signs of tariff pass-through but underlying inflation remains muted," said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management. While US inflation remained relatively tame, analysts said businesses were working through stockpiles amassed in anticipation of Trump's duties and further price rises could be expected later this year. Since April, the United States has imposed a baseline 10-percent tariff on goods imported from almost all trading partners, with steeper levies on steel, aluminium and cars. Trump has threatened 30-percent tariffs on European Union and Mexican goods from August 1 if they do not cut trade deals. The US Federal Reserve, which has an inflation target of two percent, could cut rates in September -- but not if the tariffs also end up putting a brake on US economic growth. China, which has negotiated a US tariff truce, issued economic growth data that met expectations, largely thanks to an April-June export surge to get ahead of Trump's levies. But the US president on Monday warned of new tariffs of up to 100 percent on Russia's trading partners -- which include China -- if Moscow does not end its war on Ukraine within 50 days. Even though Russia is a major crude producer, oil prices dropped after Trump's announcement and continued lower on Tuesday. "Investors seem convinced that the 50-day window gives the US, Russia and Ukraine an opportunity to hammer out some kind of deal," said David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation. - OPEC forecast - OPEC said in its latest monthly market report it expected its production forecasts for this year and next to hold, despite uncertainties generated by the US tariffs. It forecast that oil demand would rise by 1.3 million barrels in 2025 and again in 2026. "Continued robust global economic growth is expected... despite ongoing US-centred trade challenges and geopolitical uncertainties," it said. In corporate news, US banks JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo posted better-than-expected second-quarter results. JPMorgan boss Jamie Dimon described the US economy as "resilient" while facing "significant risks", including over tariffs uncertainty. And tech darling Nvidia's share price jumped after it said US export restrictions will be eased to allow it to sell its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China. That gave fuel to the Nasdaq, which had closed on Monday on another record high. Bitcoin slid on likely profit-taking, after having hit a record high above $123,200 on Monday, thanks to optimism over possible regulatory changes for crypto assets in the United States. - Key figures at around 1345 GMT - New York - Dow: DOWN 0.3 percent at 44,329.45 points New York - S&P 500: UP 0.2 percent at 6,283.26 New York - Nasdaq Composite: UP 0.7 percent at 20,790.24 London - FTSE 100: DOWN 0.2 percent at 8,979.87 Paris - CAC 40: DOWN 0.2 percent at 7,791.87 Frankfurt - DAX: DOWN 0.1 percent at 24,134.73 Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 0.6 percent at 39,678.02 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 1.6 percent at 24,590.12 (close) Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.4 percent at 3,505.00 (close) Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.1644 from $1.1670 Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.3408 from $1.3428 Dollar/yen: UP at 148.55 yen from 147.77 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 86.86 pence from 86.88 pence Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.3 percent at $69.00 per barrel
