You can score free McDonald's hash browns and McNuggets this week — here's how
Just imagine the fresh potatoey smell of those McDonald's hash browns as they melt in your mouth.
Or the crunch of that chicken McNugget as you chow down on it after a night out.
Good, right? Well for a limited time only they're about to taste even better because you can get them for free.
Well, you can enjoy six-piece chicken McNuggets free from June 16 to June 22, if you spend £15 or more on McDelivery.
Or if you're not one to skip breakfast then nab a free hash brown instead. But again, you'll need to spend £10 or more on McDelivery.
This may feel a little steep for someone dining alone, so there's a cheeky alternative for those looking to keep the cost down – but you'll need to be quick.
For just one day only, on Monday June 16, you can get nine-piece chicken McNuggets for just £1.79.
Now it would usually cost you £5.09 so that's a pretty good deal. All you have to do is order them via the McDonald's app.
If these deals are up your street, then get familiar with the weekly Deal Drop from the beloved fast food chain.
Look out every Monday on your email for information about all the deals available that week, or if you're on the app, check the Rewards and Offers section.
The deals here can be used once only but apply to both McDelivery and in-store orders.
Now, it was only two weeks ago that hash browns made headlines, but for a slightly different reason.
Budget supermarket Aldi attempted to 'outdo' McDonald's by hitting the road in its own food truck, pulling up outside select McDonald's from 11.01am to offer its own free version of the breakfast staple.
The idea came after 62% of Brits believed 11am is too early to stop serving breakfast, with more than a fifth of us wanting breakfast food to be available all day.
As an alternative Aldi offered freshly cooked Oakhurst Breakfast Hash Browns all day – and it caused quite the stir.
The excitement doesn't stop as some free hash browns though. A big menu change at the fast food chain is set to arrive on June 18.
McDonald's will be swapping out the current limited-edition menu items and welcoming back four fan-favourites and debuting a brand new burger.
The new item has been hailed as the 'most McDonald's burger ever' and is called the Big Arch, a name it wholeheartedly deserves as it's even bigger and wider than the classic Big Mac.
The beast of a burger (£7.99 on its own or £9.99 for a Medium Meal) features new Big Arch sauce, two Quarter Pounder beef patties, three slices of white cheddar cheese, crispy onions, slivered onions, pickles and lettuce, all stacked up (somewhat precariously) in a sesame and poppy seed bun. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKmkD4Po6Ze/
As well as the new burger, two other savoury treats are joining the line-up including the Cheesy McCrispy (£6.69 or £8.49 for a Medium Meal), which first launched at Christmas last year. More Trending
The chicken burger is a 'levelled up' version of the classic McCrispy and sees a chicken breast in a crispy coating topped with lettuce, crispy onions, bacon, two slices of cheese and a pink pickled onion chutney. This is then covered in a cheese sauce and served in a toasted bun.
And the cheesy goodness doesn't stop there, as Halloumi Fries (£2.99 for a four-piece box) are also returning to the menu, served with a Sweet Chilli Dip.
Two popular desserts are also making a comeback and one is a Halloween favourite.

The Toffee Crisp McFlurry (£2.39) is returning as well as the Toffee Apple Pie (£2.09). The former is comprised of soft dairy ice cream swirled with Toffee Crisp pieces and topped with toffee sauce, while the latter has a spiced apple filling with toffee sauce and toffee pieces.

HMRC's 4-word warning to Brits who can now claim Winter Fuel Payment this year
Following Labour's dramatic U-Turn on Winter Fuel Payment eligibility, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has issued a four-word warning for Brits being contacted about the benefit HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has issued a stark warning following major changes to the Winter Fuel Benefit. In a major U-turn, nine million pensioners will now receive the benefit, which is designed to help with soaring energy bills during the winter months. Worth £200, or £300 for households with someone aged over 80, the Winter Fuel Benefit was controversially limited last year to state pensioners who are in receipt of means-tested benefits including Pension Credit, Universal Credit and Housing Benefit. As previously reported, in Scotland, the Winter Fuel Payment has been replaced by the Pension Age Winter Heating Payment. However, Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiled in the House of Commons earlier this week (June 11) that huge changes to the benefit have been pushed through. Now, Winter Fuel Payments in England and Wales will be automatically awarded to all households where someone is over state pension age. However, those earning more than £35,000 a year will have to pay back the benefit, which will be automatically recovered by HMRC through PAYE or through self-assessment return. You can opt out of receiving the payment if your income is over £35,000 - with details on this still waiting to be confirmed. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) HMRC warned Brits to 'watch out for scams' and protect their money after criminals have taken advantage of the government's shakeup. "Some customers are being contacted by scammers about claiming the Winter Fuel Payment," it wrote. "We'll never contact you by text to claim this money or send personal information. You don't need to do anything. Payments will be made automatically." On its website, HMRC has created a checklist to help Brits decipher if a 'suspicious contact' is a scam as opposed to a genuine phone call, text message or email. While HMRC does send text messages to some of its customers, you might be a victim of a scam if your correspondence: Rushes you Is threatening Is unexpected Asks for personal information like bank details Tells you to transfer money Offers a refund, tax rebate or grant Get the best deals and tips from Mirror Money WHATSAPP GROUP: Get money news and top deals straight to your phone by joining our Money WhatsApp group here.

If you're curious, you can read our Privacy Notice. NEWSLETTER: Or sign up to the Mirror's Money newsletter here for all the best advice and shopping deals straight to your inbox. Winter Fuel Payments will still be issued per household, but the income eligibility is based per person. For example, if you have two people living together and one earns £30,000 a year and the other earns £40,000, one person would keep their share of the Winter Fuel Payment but the other would pay it back. Again, these payments will be automatically made - so Brits don't need to apply or contact HMRC to receive the benefit. Most people normally get their Winter Fuel Payment from November every year. Your eligibility is based on your age by the end of the qualifying week. Do you have a story to share? Email us at yourmirror@ for a chance to be featured.

B&M shoppers are rushing to buy a £4 dupe of Zara Home's iconic candle that is £20 cheaper than the original
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BARGAIN-hunting Brits are going wild for a £4 candle from B&M that's being hailed as a perfect dupe for a high-end Zara Home favourite — and it's £20 cheaper. The budget retailer's Candle in a Cup has caught the attention of shoppers thanks to its striking resemblance to Zara Home's Mountain Pepper Scented Candle, which retails at £23.99 for a 250g pot. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Zara's Moutain pepper scented candle for £23.99 Credit: ZARA 4 The retailer has a strong reputation for stocking high-quality dupes that give customers the luxe-for-less feel Credit: Facebook 4 Now, B&M shoppers say they can get the same luxurious scent for a fraction of the cost – and with the same chic look to match any décor Credit: Facebook B&M's version comes in a similarly sleek ceramic cup and offers a warm, spicy scent that's near identical to the original, according to fans. One delighted customer said, 'I couldn't believe how similar it smelled to the Zara one I had before. "Honestly, if someone blind-tested me, I wouldn't know the difference. And at £4? I went back the next day and bought three more.' The Mountain Pepper candle by Zara is known for its rich, peppery notes with a hint of citrus, making it a cult classic for those who love a home that smells expensive. Now, B&M shoppers say they can get the same luxurious scent for a fraction of the cost – and with the same chic look to match any décor. This isn't the first time B&M has caused a frenzy with its affordable alternatives to designer homewares. The retailer has a strong reputation for stocking high-quality dupes that give customers the luxe-for-less feel. Their Hotel Collection range, in particular, has drawn comparisons to brands like The White Company and Jo Malone. Shoppers have also raved about B&M's reed diffusers, which are priced at just £3.99 but give off scents that rival products five times the price. 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 One woman wrote on Facebook: 'These make my whole house smell posh. "I'll never go back to buying the expensive ones again.' Priced at around £4.99, they're often compared to Jo Malone's classic scented candles, which can cost upwards of £55. As one shopper joked online: 'It's giving Zara vibes, but on a B&M budget — and I'm here for it!' Even home accessories like velvet cushions and throws are proving popular dupes. Their luxe-looking velvet cushion covers, priced at £8.99, have been likened to ones sold at H&M Home and Zara Home for double the price.

Three ways latest Middle East crisis could make life more expensive in the UK
One of the big lessons from Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was how a war hundreds of miles away can have an impact on daily life in the UK. As the price of a barrel of oil shot up, so did our energy bills, and the cost-of-living crisis that was already hitting households hard was exacerbated. It now appears that Iran and Israel are on the path towards a full-scale regional war, with neither country paying much attention to international calls for calm heads. As death tolls rise and destruction spreads, many Brits will be concerned about where it's all going to end – and wonder if we're likely to see a repeat of three years ago. Asked if the government could step in to pay steep energy bills, as the Conservatives did in 2022, Chancellor Rachel Reeves told the BBC: 'I'm not taking anything off the table.' However, she cautioned: 'We're not anywhere near that stage at the moment – indeed, in July, average energy bills are going to come down by about £100 a year.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Unsurprisingly, events in the Middle East – one of the world's top oil producing regions – have an impact on the price of oil. Following Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites on Friday, the cost of a price of a barrel of oil jumped sharply. But there's a risk the knock-on effects for Brits are much more broad. The increase in energy prices largely resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was so significant, the government decided to step in and offer an 'energy price guarantee'. If it had not, the price cap for bills could have been pushed north of £4,000 for the typical household. The invasion pushed oil prices to almost $130 a barrel, meaning costs to suppliers soared, and that was passed down to customers. After an initial jump of 10% after Israel's first strikes on Friday, the cost of a barrel of oil has dropped back to $75 – lower than it was in January. But the big question is whether this conflict will continue for more than a few days or a couple of weeks. That could result in higher prices on a more sustained level, which could feed through to bills. The Bank of England's base interest rate has a direct impact on households across the country, as it is widely used to set the interest rate on mortgages. It's also used by the Bank to try and push down inflation when it gets a bit too high – when the interest rate is increased, people spend less in the economy, which brings down inflation. Since inflation in the UK has fallen from its extreme high in 2022, the Bank has steadily decreased its interest rate over the past year, easing the pressure on people with a mortgage to pay. But high energy prices mean items in shops get more expensive, and if they become more expensive than they were a year ago – well, that's the definition of inflation. Dr Muhammad Ali Nasir, an Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Leeds, explained the potential impact. He told Metro: 'If the increase in energy prices causes another round of sharp increase in inflation, the central bank could change the direction of their policy and start to increase the interest rates again, causing more pain to the household and firms in terms of their borrowing costs.' A sustained increase in energy prices would be enough to increase the cost of a weekly shop in the UK on its own. But that's not the only way the conflict between Israel and Iran could have an impact. There have been concerns Iran could try to block the Strait of Hormuz, a vital supply line for global oil as it links the oil fields of the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and wider ocean. But Dr Nasir suggested events could lead Iran's Houthi allies to step up their attacks on ships in the Red Sea, which leads to the Suez Canal. He said: 'This could be a massive shock to global trade which is already suffering due to the [US-China] trade war. On top of that, the economist said there is a 'sharp increase in the uncertainty around the economic and trade policy due to the conflict' as the world wonders what will happen next. 'Overall, this conflict is the last thing the global economy wants at the moment,' he said, before adding: 'Of course, loss of human life is an even bigger issue.'
