Iceland giving shoppers 10% discount if they visit stores on one day of the week
In addition to this, Iceland's store located in The Leeds Merrion Shopping Centre, LS2 8ng will also have a dedicated student aisle installed, featuring some of the most popular student favourite products
Iceland has launched a brand new money-saving scheme which gives shoppers 10% off their food shop through the month of May.
The supermarket chain's new limited-time initiative offers students a 10% discount each Wednesday throughout May. This means students across the country who do their food shop at Iceland or the Food Warehouse will get money off if they pop into stores on:
Wednesday, May 7
Wednesday, May 14
Wednesday, May 21
Wednesday, May 28
To get the discount, students will need to show shop workers a valid student ID. There is no minimum spend required for the discount, and sadly, you can only claim it for in-store shops - you cannot claim it for online orders.
In addition to this, Iceland's store located in The Leeds Merrion Shopping Centre, LS2 8ng will also have a dedicated student aisle installed, featuring some of the most popular student favourite products. This includes products from Iceland's £1 value range to its ready meals.
The first 10 students through the tills on May will also have the chance to get their hands on a Ninja CRISPI 4-in-1 portable glass air fryer. The supermarket chain says the discount has been introduced to help support students during exam season.
Richard Walker, executive chairman at Iceland Foods, said: 'At Iceland and The Food Warehouse, we're on a mission to do the right thing by our customers.
'This month, we know that cash-strapped students will be studying and completing their exams, so the last thing they need to be worrying about is food prices. That's why we're giving them 10% off in stores, every single Wednesday throughout May.'

Garden fence mistakes which risk fines of up to £20,000
Brits thinking of sprucing up their garden fences this summer have been warned that they could end up in hot water if they don't follow the UK's strict rules on them. If you fall foul, you could find yourself handed a hefty fine or even end up in court Now the sun is shining, you may want to head out into the garden and spruce it up a bit before the summer, maybe put up a new garden fence? However, Brits thinking of doing this have been warned that they could end up in hot water if they don't follow the UK's strict rules on them. If you fall foul, you could find yourself handed a hefty fine or even end up in court. New rules came into force in May 2025 under "The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015". The updates simplify the rules around replacing a boundary, a hedge, or installing a new fence. They also clearly outline what homeowners can build without needing full planning permission from their local council. Gurpreet Chhokar, Which? Legal Expert, said: "If you're thinking of putting up a new garden fence this summer, there are a few important things to bear in mind to make sure you don't break any laws and find yourself landed with a fine." If you are thinking of taking a look at your existing fencing - or are considering putting one up - you will need to be aware of the new laws. Here's what you need to know. Back garden fence For a simple back garden fence, you're allowed a fence up to two metres high, which is around six feet and six inches high, without planning permission. This is intended to provide a balance between privacy and access to light. Any higher - this includes any decorative trellis - then you will need to get approval. This is now the standard maximum height for households. In simple terms, planning permission is asking your local council if you can do a certain piece of building work. It will either be granted - possibly subject to certain conditions - or refused. Gurpreet Chhokar from Which? said: "If you don't have planning permission then your fence can't be any higher than two metres from the ground." If you erect a fence above this level, then you could be forced to tear it down. You could also face enforcement action. Disputes with neighbours are one of the most common property complaints in the UK. Often the complaint stems from boundary issues - more specifically, on where the boundary of your property actually is. According to Wade Building Supplies, between six and eleven million disputes have been recorded in the UK to date. Before building anything in your garden, you should measure up carefully, discuss things with your neighbour, and come to an agreement. To make it more secure, you should get this agreement in writing. It is always better to take pictures too Join Money Saving Club's specialist topics Front garden fence The rules for fences in a front garden are stricter. If you live next to a footpath, road, bridleway, waterway, or public space, fences cannot be above one meter - just over three feet tall. The new law is intended to provide better visibility for pavement and road users. Again, breaking this rule can lead to enforcement action or a fine. Gurpreet added: "There will also be some cases where planning permission will be needed if the fence is more than a meter high - such as if it borders a highway or the footpath of a highway if you're not sure, then it's worth getting in touch with your local planning authority (which is usually your local council) to check." Fines implemented by councils do vary. However, if your fencing causes a " statutory nuisance" such as flooding or blocked drains, you could face penalties of up to £5,000. Businesses can face fines up to £20,000 under environmental regulations. These cases can go to court if you do not comply. Replacing a fence Under UK rules, the fence to the left hand side of your garden - as seen from the street - is your responsibility. This means wif it needs replacing, then it is down to you and not your neighbour. If you are unsure, Wade Building Supplies explained: "Another clue can be seen in the method of construction of the fences that bound your property. If the rougher side, or rail side-in the case of featheredge panels, is facing into your garden, that's your boundary to maintain." However, to be absolutely certain, you will need to refer to the title documents or deeds. If you see a boundary line with the letter "T" next to it, that's your fence line to fix. If you see "H" it is a little more complicated as this means the boundary is a "party wall". This means the responsibility of both neighbours. If you are still unsure, experts advise you to talk to your neighbour and draw up an official boundary agreement between both parties. You can then have this agreement formally recorded through HM Land Registry for £40. The boundary agreement must include all parties' names, addresses, and a clear description of the agreed boundary. A map can also be included. When doing any DIY work with fencing, it's always important to give your neighbours plenty of notice. There may be plants trained along the fence, or decorative features they may want to remove or keep. You can find more information on privacy fence boundaries on the webpage.

Major high street chain to shut 10 shops within weeks - full list of locations
The Original Factory Shop - which employs around 2,000 people - has been struggling in recent years, and as part of its plans to bounce back it is shutting its loss-making stores A major UK discount chain is closing 10 high street stores over the coming weeks as part of a restructuring plan. The Original Factory Shop - which employs around 2,000 people - has been struggling in recent years, and as part of its plans to bounce back it is shutting its loss-making stores. Overall, a total of 10 stores are closing between now and the end of July. Nine are closing towards the end of this month, with a final one to pull down the shutters in July. The retailer's Milford Haven branch in Pembrokeshire will be the first to close, closing for good on June 26. Just two days later, on June 28, eight more branches will close. The branches set for closure that day are in Perth, County Durham, Angus, Carmarthenshire, Worcestershire, West Yorkshire, Aberdeenshire, and Dorset. Finally, the Staveley branch in Cumbria is shutting for good on July 12. However, the chain's Nairn store is listed as "up for sale" and the company told the Sun newspaper that negotiations were currently ongoing with the landlord. The Original Factory Shop has not confirmed how many staff members will be impacted by the closures. Earlier this year, the retailer's owner Modella Capital launched plans to renegotiate rents at 88 stores through a company voluntary arrangement (CVA). This is an agreement between a business and its creditors that allows debts to be paid off over a fixed period of time. A spokesperson for The Original Factory shop recently told The Press and Journal: "The Original Factory Shop (TOFS) recently confirmed that as part of a restructuring a number of its loss-making stores will have to close. "Closing stores is always a tough decision and we are committed to keeping as many stores open as possible. This is, however, dependent on successful negotiations with landlords as we strive to build a sustainable and successful business for the future. "We have already announced that two stores will close. Additionally, a small number of other stores are currently under review, with their continued operation subject to ongoing negotiations with landlords."

HMRC warning as major new tax rules coming next year to impact millions of Brits
The tax treatment of cryptoassets such as Bitcoin can be complex. However, in simple terms, HMRC sees the profit or loss made by buying and selling crypto fall under Capital Gains Tax (CGT) HMRC to introduce new tax reporting rules next year, which are set to affect millions of Brits. From January 1, 2026, crypto exchanges and marketplaces will need to collect and report information on users and transactions to HMRC in a bid to clamp down on tax avoidance. The new rules will apply to both individuals and businesses who buy and sell cryptoassets. The tax treatment of cryptoassets such as Bitcoin can be complex. However, in simple terms, HMRC sees the profit or loss made by buying and selling crypto fall under Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Recent data from the Financial Conduct Authority suggests that around 12% of UK adults – which equates to more than six million people – now hold some form of cryptocurrency.

Simply follow the link and select one or more of the following topics to get all the latest deals and advice on: Travel; Property; Pets, family and home; Personal finance; Shopping and discounts; Utilities. From January next year, Brits will need to provide their name, date of birth, home address, country of residence, and – if based in the UK – their National Insurance number or Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) to the platform they use. Overseas investors will also need to provide their tax identification number and the issuing country. Meanwhile, businesses buying and selling cryptocurrency must share their business name, registered address, and relevant company registration or tax identification details, depending on their location. Platforms will also be required to report the value, type, and nature of each crypto transaction, along with the number of crypto units involved. Exchanges that fail to comply with HMRC's new rules potentially face fines of up to £300 per user for submitting "inaccurate or incomplete reports". Seb Maley, CEO of tax insurance provider Qdos, said HMRC was "casting" its net far and wide as part of its crackdown on suspected tax avoidance and non-compliance within the cryptocurrency sector. He said: "By collecting the personal information of those buying and selling crypto – along with the values being exchanged – HMRC will know how much tax should be paid on these assets. 'In simple terms, if the income a taxpayer declares on their self-assessment tax return doesn't match up with the amount reported by these platforms, HMRC has the information it needs to launch a tax investigation." If a HMRC investigation concludes that there is tax to pay on your cryptoassets that have not been paid, then Brits could face a penalty, which can be up to 100% of the tax due, as well as interest due on any late payments. Seb added: "These rules are another sign of ways HMRC is working with tax authorities globally to align on how to police compliance – particularly in fast-growing, digital industries, such as crypto and the gig economy. 'The key takeaway here is that the tax office will have even more data at its fingertips. Those buying and selling crypto need to be confident in their compliance.'
