Aldi launches new Magnum ice cream dupe that's cheaper than branded version… and you get more
With temperatures to rise again next week, shoppers will be rushing to the retailer to get their hands on the latest bargain.
Magnums are a decadent treat and perfect for cooling down on a hot day and they taste even better when you can save some pennies too.
Aldi is selling their new tasty Magnum dupe - Gianni's Pistachio Chocsticks - for just £2.49.
That will get you a four pack and comes in nearly £2 cheaper than the Magnum version.
The Magnum Collection Pistachio Ice Cream sticks are currently sold in other retailers such as Sainsbury's for a whopping £4.25.
What's even better is that you get more for your money at Aldi with the Magnum version only sold in packs of three.
This comes after Aldi reported record sales of ice cream for one day last month.
Sales jumped by more than 35 per cent during the last heatwave with over 12 million ice creams sold.
Alongside the Magnum dupes, the bargain retailer is also selling Gianni's Cola Bottle Ice Lollies which have been flying off the shelves.
A pack of six 360ml lollies is priced at just £1.99, that's 33p a lolly.
But when it comes to other Magnum dupes, we've got you covered too.
Aldi's Gianni milk chocolate ice creams came in fourth in a recent blind taste test to find the best tasting Magnum alternatives.
Claiming the crown was M&S with the posh retailer's own brand version coming in 46% cheaper.
Shoppers can get a pack of three for £2.40 and were impressed with its sweetness and strength of chocolate flavour.
The Sun recently reported on the cheapest shops to buy ice creams too including Magnums and Cornettos.
Iceland is currently charging £2 for a three pack of the ice creams, making it the cheapest on the market.
That works out at 67p per ice cream and looking at unit price it works out at 87p per 100ml.

Councils set for windfall under new recycling scheme
English councils are poised to receive a substantial £1.1 billion in recycling funding, sourced directly from fees levied on companies for the packaging they produce. This marks a significant shift from the current system, where local authorities have historically shouldered the cost of disposing of items like milk bottles and cereal boxes, funded by taxpayers. The new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme, set to come into force this year, will mandate businesses to contribute financially towards the recycling of their packaging. Companies will begin paying these fees from November, with charges varying based on how difficult the material is to recycle. It is anticipated that this initiative will incentivise businesses to reduce their packaging use, transition to more easily recyclable materials, and invest in circular economy innovations. Ultimately, the goal is to significantly cut the volume of waste sent to landfills or incinerators. The Environment Department (Defra) expects to collect £1.4 billion in EPR fees over the coming months, guaranteeing £1.1 billion of this sum for English councils in the 2025/26 financial year, regardless of the final collection total. The further £300,000 is expected go to the UK's devolved authorities to allocate to councils. Councils will be able to choose how to spend the funding, such as offering local residents more streamlined collections, building new infrastructures or upgrading facilities. Environment Secretary Steve Reed said all councils must use the funding to deliver improved packaging waste collection services for their communities. The scheme's administrator PackUK has been given powers to reduce future funding allocations if evidence shows a council has funnelled it towards other purposes. More widely, the Government hopes the scheme will help to unlock regional growth, create new green jobs and boost household recycling rates which have seen little improvement over recent years. It pointed to projects such as waste management firm Veolia's facility in Southwark which handles and processes materials collected from homes and sends them to be turned into new products. Environment minister Mary Creagh said: 'This Government is cleaning up Britain and ending the throwaway society. She added that the money 'will revolutionise how we deal with our waste and ensure more of today's rubbish is recycled into tomorrow's packaging'. Local government minister Jim McMahon said: 'Clean and tidy streets are something everyone wants to see, and these commonsense reforms will help councils achieve that. 'Whether it's channelling more money into recycling or reforming the outdated funding system, we are fixing the foundations of local government so that it can focus on what matters most to people across the country.' Jacob Hayler, executive director of the Environmental Services Association, said: 'Our members stand ready to invest billions, alongside local authority partners, in the next generation of recycling services, infrastructure and jobs, which will provide a rapid boost to England's stalled recycling rates. 'The new producer responsibility regime for packaging, alongside other measures to simplify recycling services, will unlock this investment and support our ambition to achieve a circular economy in the United Kingdom over the next decade.' Jim Bligh, the Food and Drink Federation's director of corporate affairs and packaging, said: 'This announcement is welcome news for both industry and consumers, coming just before producers receive their first invoices for EPR. 'It marks a vital step towards delivering the improvements in the UK's recycling system that we all want and need.' Adam Hug, environment spokesperson for the Local Government Association, said: 'It's positive to see the costs of managing packaging waste shift to the industry creating this waste. 'Councils are proud to run some of the best recycling services in the world, with high levels of public satisfaction despite significant financial pressures. 'This success is built on council's local knowledge and strong links with communities, and we hope the new scheme will support that work and help reduce the amount of packaging ending up in household bins.' The EPR scheme comes as part of wider Government efforts to boost the circular economy, which also include the delayed deposit return scheme that provides a financial incentive to customers to return empty drinks containers to collection points. The Circular Economy Taskforce is also working with sectors to create a series of roadmaps to improve the approach to using materials.

It's great to be here, I love standing on the soil of Scotland, Trump says
Ian Murray told the PA news agency what the US President's first words were after disembarking from Air Force One in Prestwick. The UK Government minister was the first person to greet the president in Scotland as he begins his visit to the country. Speaking after meeting the American leader, Mr Murray told PA: 'The president came off the flight, and I said, 'Mr president, welcome to Scotland – the home country of your dear mother', and he said, 'It's great to be here, I always love standing on the soil of Scotland'. 'I said, 'I hope you're looking forward to a bit of downtime with some golf this weekend', and he said, 'Yes'. And I said, 'Well, we've whipped up a bit of a wind for you to make it a bit more competitive', and he went, 'I'm looking forward to it'.' Mr Murray said Mr Trump was given a warm reception as he got off his presidential plane. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said Donald Trump received a warm welcome (Ben Whitley/PA) Hundreds gathered on the Mound overlooking Prestwick Airport for the president's arrival. A Trump flag was flown while a few spectators wore 'Make America Great Again' hats, although many of those attending were locals and aviation enthusiasts, including some who had travelled from England. Mr Murray said: 'Spotters hills, as it's called, where all the plane spotters come to Prestwick, was absolutely full. 'You could see that from the tarmac and as Air Force One came in, people were snapping away on their photographs. 'To see all that happening is quite a spectacle in itself. 'It's really good to have that kind of focus on Scotland.' Hundreds gathered at Prestwick Airport as the president landed (Jane Barlow/PA) Mr Trump will meet Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his trip to discuss the UK-US trade deal as Britain hopes to be spared from the president's tariff regime. The Scottish Secretary said: 'Really, the purpose of this weekend, the purpose of greeting the president off the plane, the purpose of the Prime Minister's relationship with the president is to build that close relationship, to make sure that that old alliance is nurtured, and to do that for the benefit of the national interest, which is about jobs and growth here in the UK, and particularly Scotland.' Mr Trump will meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney during his trip as he opens a new golf course in Aberdeenshire. Before flying to Prestwick, Mr Trump said in Washington that he was 'looking forward' to meeting Mr Swinney, describing him as a 'good man' – the same phrase he used for the Prime Minister after landing in Scotland. US President Donald Trump was taken to Turnberry via motorcade (Robert Perry/PA) Asked about the president's relationship with the UK, Mr Murray said: 'The Prime Minister has taken a very pragmatic approach to the relationship with the president of the United States, because it's in our national interest to do so, whether it be on defence, security, trade, cultural, historic ties. 'It's a historic alliance, and that alliance has to be nurtured and continue through to the future, because it's quite clear that our relationship with United States is good for jobs and growth here in Scotland and across the UK. 'The Prime Minister knows that, and knows that working very closely with the US is in our national interest.' Asked about protests, which are expected across the country, Mr Murray said people had a right to demonstrate, adding: 'Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom to protest is a key cornerstone of both countries, America and the UK, and the right to be able to protest if they so wish to so.'

Pubs, supermarkets and bookies expecting huge boost when Lionesses play Euro final
Millions are expected to tune in to the must-watch clash between England and Spain, whether it be from home, pubs, beer gardens or in front of big screens Pubs, bookies and supermarkets are gearing up for a bumper weekend as the nation gets ready to roar on the Lionesses in the Euros final. Punters will be drinking until the wee hours after pubs received special permission to stay open as late as 1am to celebrate the occasion. And those planning to watch it at home have already begun stocking up - as supermarket giants expect a huge boost in sales. Asda has forecasted 1.3 million sales of bags of crisps and 300,000 pizzas. Meanwhile Tesco expects to sell three million cans of beer and cider, over 3.5 million bottles of wine, 450,000 bottles of champagne or sparkling wine, and 70,000 pizzas across the weekend. But despite the opposition, the supermarket believes that Spanish brews such as San Miguel, Cruzcampo, and Estrella are likely to be the beer of choice. Spanish lager is now by far the most popular beer bought in the UK, with volume growth at Tesco last year up by more than 15% versus the year before. And the bookies are also predicting a surge, as the Barmy Army back their beloved Lionesses to go all the way. Betting shop Coral expects this Sunday's Women's European Championship final to be to see a record-breaking number of fans having a flutter. Coral's John Hill said: 'Millions of pounds will be bet on the women's Euros final with British bookmakers, and the majority will be on the Lionesses to lift the trophy. For the first time in this tournament, England will start a match as the underdogs, but that tag might just suit them." William Hill added that 66% of bets taken in the Women's Euros have backed England. And after the government gave pubs a special dispensation to stay open late, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper wished the Lionesses good luck ahead of the final. She said: 'The Lionesses have shown throughout this summer why they are true national stars. They have shown unbelievable grit and determination and are an inspiration to us all. 'Watching football in the local pub is a great British tradition and by extending licensing hours, we will hopefully be able to celebrate late into the evening. I want to wish the best of luck to Sarina Wiegman and the England squad, who we hope will be able to bring it home once again and continue on as champions of Europe.'
