Aldi shoppers go wild for 'beautiful' new iced coffee and can't believe price
As temperatures continue to rise, many of us are swapping our hot drinks for cooler alternatives – and people are rushing to Aldi to get their hands on three new frappe flavours
Coffee fans are rushing to their nearest Aldi to get their hands on a range of cool new barista-style drinks that you can have at home. The iced drinks have been hailed as "so good" and "beautiful" by fans.
As warm temperatures and sunshine prevail, many of us are switching out our regular hot drinks for iced alternatives. But spending money often on iced coffees, matchas or frappes from cafes can be a costly habit. Instead, Aldi has launched three new drinks you can pick up instore and enjoy at home or on the go.
Simply empty the packet into your favourite cup with some water or milk and stir well. The frappes are available in three new flavours: original, white mocha, and pistachio. "Think barista-style bliss without the barista-sized bill," a spokesperson for Aldi said.
The drinks launched in stores on May 15 and are priced at £1.69 for a box of 1o – which works out at less than 17p per drink. Speaking about the flavours, Aldi shared: "Each sachet whips up a velvety frappe when mixed with milk or water, hot or cold and served over ice. For a proper coffeehouse hit, shoppers can add a shot of espresso or blend with ice for a frosty treat.
"Whether it's a cool iced drink or a creamy Dubai-style latte, these easy-to-use sachets are a purse-friendly way to enjoy barista-style frappes from the comfort of home."
Viral money-saving content creator, Ashleigh, tried the pistachio flavour recently and gave the drink the seal of approval. On her TikTok account @ashleighmoneysaver, she said: "Calling all pistachio lovers. Get yourself down to Aldi. They have just launched their new Barissimo frappe sachets, including a pistachio flavour.
"£1.69 for a pack of 10, You know these will fly off the shelves!"
"They're sooo good," commented one fan.
Meanwhile another added: "Omg who needs these pistachio frappes from Aldi? Me." @greedy.sisterz.re also shared a clip after spotting the treats instore, and said: "Aldi is absolutely smashing it with their new snacks and now they've dropped two iced frappes - pistachio and white mocha. These are £1.69 each."
"They looks so good," commented another. But one individual shared their honest review and noted: "I'm having the pistachio one, it's OK, not over impressed! Going to try the white chocolate one tomorrow!"
@itschelseylife rated the pistachio latte 10/10. She said: "Run don't walk to Aldi. If you love pistachio, you'll love this." "I need," insisted another.

Nobody's Child e-commerce director exits for Dubai brand Squatwolf
Chris Bishop, the e-commerce and digital director of Nobody's Child, has exited the British fashion brand to take up a similar role at Dubai-based sportswear company Squatwolf. Bishop announced his appointment on LinkedIn, where he said he was 'happy to share that I'm starting a new position as e-commerce director at Squatwolf'. Until May 2025, Bishop had been in his now former role at Nobody's Child since September 2022. He had joined the brand after serving as a self-employed business, e-commerce and marketing consultant over the course of six years. During this time, he worked with companies ranging from high growth startups to 100 million pound turnover firms. Among these were names like UK-based bicycling company Sigma Sports, where he was interim chief marketing officer, and fashion rental platform MyWardrobeHQ, as interim e-commerce director. In his new position, Bishop will work alongside Squatwolf founders Anam Khalid and Wajdan Gul on accelerating the growth of the gymwear brand. Founded in 2016, Squatwolf has experienced significant growth in its lifetime, expanding beyond the Middle East to serve consumers in over 120 countries, its LinkedIn page states. In 2023, the company raised 30 million dollars in a Series B funding round, which was to be used to expand its omnichannel presence and develop its product lines.

‘I always like to show off the wrists' — how to dress stylishly for summer
'Every time I leave the house,' Wiggy Hindmarch says, 'at least one person will stop me and ask me where what I am wearing is from. And so I tell them it's my own brand, Wiggy Kit. And they always say they are going to go away and shop.' I would suspect Hindmarch of exaggeration if it weren't for the fact that my own experience, whenever I wear her clothes, is the same. There is something about what she does that is not just quietly distinctive but highly covetable. It's a cross-fertilisation of the masculine with the feminine, the boho with the preppy, I think. Then there's the melding of fresh-looking lines with eye-catching detailing, plus the fact that she is all about 'flattering proportions', the better to, as and where required, 'trick the viewer'. • Read more luxury reviews, advice and insights from our experts Her goal, she continues, 'is to create standout pieces that don't shout. You don't look as if you are trying too hard, but 'bloody hell, that's an amazing shirt' or 'wow, that is such an incredible skirt'. I don't want ever to produce something boring. There is always a twist.' When I wore one of her signature styles recently — the sarong shirt dress, in a chocolatey linen (£395, — for a lunch with a group of front-rowers in Italy, every single one of them wanted to know (sure enough) where it was from. 'Is that Alaia?' one asked. Er, nope. Another of her signature styles is the tuxedo trapeze dress with which she launched the brand ten years ago. At once gentlemanly and girlish, it has been retooled to mark the anniversary in crisp white on blue (£395, The brand may have branched out successfully into year-round dressing in recent seasons, yet summer remains Wiggy Kit's happy place. The main reason Hindmarch, 48, founded the brand in 2015 was because, she tells me, 'people weren't doing the kind of clothes you could wear in London as well as abroad'. 'It was a bit ridiculous that the things you bought for two weeks in Ibiza you couldn't then wear to work or to a school event. I didn't want two summer wardrobes.' If you haven't yet nailed your wardrobe for the months ahead, a pop-up shop opened on the King's Road last Wednesday in London. (The final day of trading is June 8.) 'I am a woman of a certain age, with insecurities, so I am always thinking everything through,' Hindmarch continues. 'The proportions are always very carefully considered. Whether you have a long torso or short legs, you will appear to have the ideal shape. And though my aesthetic is quite covered up, I temper that with revealing the right amount of skin in the right places.' The right places? 'I always like to show off the wrists.' Hindmarch's initial inspiration was the fashion she saw when she moved with her parents to Rhode Island on the east coast of America when she was a teenager. 'It's less temperate there, and you have to go about your day to day and operate professionally in baking temperatures.' People also 'tend to dress up more than we do, and they also use a lot more colour'. Her father's 'preppy style' was another early touchstone. In the ensuing years she has also found herself turning more and more to 'interiors books and travel magazines. I think, 'If I lived there, if I inhabited that space, what would I want to be wearing, how would I want to be?' I don't really look at what other brands are doing. I just focus on what I am doing.' Handily, when it comes to warm-weather research, Hindmarch — who is married to the designer Anya Hindmarch's brother — spends four months of every year on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Among her high-profile fans is the designer India Hicks, another resident of the island, as well as the model Claudia Schiffer. The glorious existence in both the Bahamas and London that she showcases on Instagram, and the clothes — own-brand, of course — that she wears while enjoying it, are a key to her success, she says, though she claims this is not entirely for the reasons you might imagine. 'My videos push sales hugely. A gorgeous model doesn't do much for sales, but when people see me wearing something, they see what it looks like in real life, and they think, 'Oh, I get that now.'' Some customers save up to buy one or two pieces a year, others order multiples for their houses across the globe. 'One woman orders for London, Hong Kong and Sicily, another for New York, the Hamptons and Palm Beach.' When the brand does its once-yearly 72-hour flash sale, 'We have people online from 7am.' • Read more fashion advice and style inspiration from our experts Wiggy Kit's success tracks a wider phenomenon, namely the rise of what's known in the trade as resortwear. Hindmarch has her theory on that one. 'Resortwear has become so important to many brands, I think, partly because it's what people really want to buy. We buy things for winter slightly begrudgingly, we know we just have to get through it, but everyone is excited to buy spring/summer.' Indeed.

Reform UK to send first ‘Doge' team to look at council spending
Reform UK is set to send in its first Elon Musk-style Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) unit to look at 'wasteful spending' in councils. A team of software engineers, data analysts and forensic auditors will 'visit and analyse' local authorities, starting with Kent County Council on Monday, the party said. It follows the US Doge, which was launched during Donald Trump's presidency to cut federal spending. Billionaire Musk was involved but has since left his position spearheading the unit. Reform says its UK version will be led by a yet-unnamed man described as one of the country's 'leading tech entrepreneurs with a specialism in data analytics who has also been a turnaround CEO'. The party said that the unit will use artificial intelligence, advanced data analysis tools and forensic auditing techniques to 'identify wasteful spending and recommend actionable solutions'. A letter sent to Kent County Council, which Reform now controls after the May local elections, read: 'The scope of the review includes but is not limited to: Contractual arrangements with suppliers and consultants, all capital expenditure, use of framework agreements and direct awards, any off-book or contingent liabilities, use of reserves and financial resilience, any audit flags raised by internal or external auditors in the last three years. 'We request that all relevant council officers provide the Doge team with full and prompt access to: Council-held documents, reports and records (electronic and paper), relevant finance, procurement, audit and contract data, meeting minutes and correspondence concerning major procurements, any internal investigations or whistleblowing reports relevant to financial matters, any additional documents that might be of assistance.' It added: 'Should you resist this request, we are ready to pass a council motion to compel the same and will consider any obstruction of our councillors' duties to be gross misconduct. We trust this will not be required.' It is signed by council leader Linden Kemkaran, party chairman Zia Yusuf and party leader Nigel Farage. Mr Yusuf said: 'For too long British people have been British taxpayers have watched their money vanish into a black hole. 'Their taxes keep going up, their bin collections keep getting less frequent, potholes remain unfixed, their local services keep getting cut. Reform won a historic victory on a mandate to change this. 'As promised, we have created a UK Doge to identify and cut wasteful spending of taxpayer money. Our team will use cutting-edge technology and deliver real value for voters.' During a local election campaign launch in March, Mr Farage told supporters: 'Frankly folks, what we need in this country to pay for the cuts that people deserve and need, we need a British form of Doge, as Elon Musk has got in America. Let's have a British Doge.'
