B&M shoppers rush to buy ‘delicious' new twist on classic childhood sweet
B&M shoppers are racing to buy new sweets that's are a 'delicious' twist on a childhood classic. Sweet-toothed fans say the limited Rowntree sweet is 'delish'. 1 The budget retailer has just dropped Rowntree's Squidgers – a new chewy version of the iconic Jelly Tots and Fruit Pastilles. Fans spotted them in B&M stores for just £1.25 a pack. The Jelly Tots Squidgers and Fruit Pastilles Squidgers are flying off shelves, with shoppers rushing to snap them up. One excited fan said: 'They sound so nice – I need to try these!' Another gushed: 'Saw them in B&M, they're so yum.' Made with fruit juice and no artificial colours, the treats come with a softer, squidgier texture than the originals, giving your childhood faves a tasty update. But there's a catch – B&M is the only place stocking them right now, and they're not available online, so you'll need to head in-store to bag a pack. Sweet fans are already racing to their local branches to hunt them down, with many calling them the 'perfect snack' for summer. If you want to try them yourself, it's worth ringing your nearest B&M before making the trip to check they've got them in stock. So if you're after a chewy, fruity throwback with a modern twist, these Squidgers might just be your next go-to treat. I wasn't going to fork out for a Labubu so nabbed a budget alternative from B&M instead - it's SO much cuter too New sweet treats Its comes as Aldi announced the launch of its own version of the wildly popular Dubai-style chocolate bar. The indulgent treat features layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, all encased in smooth milk chocolate. The luxurious chocolate bar will be hitting UK shelves later this month, retailing at £3.99. Meanwhile, shoppers have been going wild over after a beloved Quality Street dessert returned to supermarket shelves. The Toffee Penny pudding was spotted at Iceland stores this week. Elsewhere, chocoholics spotted a rare Cadbury treat from overseas on B&M shelves. The 5 Star Mini Treats - a caramel-packed favourite usually found in far-flung places like India, Brazil and South Africa – are now being sold for just £2 in UK stores. Plus, shoppers have discovered a brand new kinder bar as part of Tesco's meal deal offer. The new snack features a crispy wafer layered with smooth milky and cocoa-hazelnut creams, wrapped in milk chocolate and topped with biscuit crumbs. It's quickly becoming a fan favourite, thanks to its indulgent flavour and affordable price. How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.

From Rachel Reeves' £15.6bn pledge to transform Northern transport and WH Smith's upbeat travel sales, to a reprieve on steel tariffs and a cyber attack on North Face - here are today's top UK business stories.

Metro and tram expansions are planned for Tyne and Wear, Manchester, the West Midlands and Yorkshire.

She'll also change funding rules, which critics say are biased towards London. Rachel Reeves backs Northern transport investment with £15.6bn pledge. | Getty Images West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker revealed more about his plans to expand the transport network in the region. He said: 'Our plans and ambition for a new tram network, a new line, that will connect Birmingham City Centre, through Digbeth where Steven Knight wants to build a film studios, up to the sports quarter, and beyond that through East Birmingham and North Solihull to Arden Cross. It's a bold ambition that supports our ambition for growth and our ambition to attract private sector investment and develop opportunities for people across the region." B&M sales dip and oil and gas jobs warning: More Business in Brief WH Smith says like-for-like travel sales increased five per cent in the last quarter, with UK growth helping lift performance. The retailer remains on track to meet full-year expectations, and is upbeat ahead of summer. The sale of its high street arm to Modella Capital is set to complete by the end of June. B&M says UK sales dipped last year as cautious shoppers and weak wage growth hit spending. Like-for-like revenues fell 3.1 per cent, though new stores helped lift total sales to £4.5 billion.

Donald Trump has doubled rates for other countries, but the UK secured different treatment in a recent deal. Industry welcomed the move, but warned uncertainty remains, with changes possible from July. The UK government said it was 'pleased' firms won't face higher tariffs at this stage. North Face and Cartier are the latest brands hit by cyber attacks, with customer data stolen. Names, emails and account details were accessed - but no financial information was affected. North Face says a 'credential stuffing' attack let hackers into some customer accounts. Details such as purchases, addresses and phone numbers may have been exposed.
