Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.

Lidl is selling £4.99 flower that will bloom even in drought as temps to hit 29C in UK today
LIDL is selling a £4.99 flower that will bloom even in a drought, as Britain is set to be blasted by 29 degree heat today. Summer has well and truly arrived, and the UK is set to sizzle this weekend, with the hot weather showing no signs of abating. 2 And although the high temperatures will have many in good spirits, you may have noticed that your garden isn't looking its best. Hot weather can cause many flowers to droop and wither, even if you give them lots of water. However, if you're keen for your garden to still be in bloom in the heat, Lidl has the perfect purse-friendly solution. The German discounter has launched a £4.99 French Lavender plant, which is set to arrive in stores on Thursday, June 19. The budget bloom is perfect for attracting bees and butterflies to your garden, and is able to handle the extreme heat. According to Hedge Express, lavender plants are able to develop deep root systems which allows them to access water from deeper soil levels. This means that they are able to access water that other plants can't, making them better able to withstand drought than other species. Lavender plants are also able to store water in their stems and leaves, and their leaves are covered in fine hairs, that help to reduce moisture loss. Plus, the purple flower is tolerant to dry soil and is able to absorb water even in sandy soil. Other examples of flowers that bloom even during droughts are geraniums, daisies and coneflowers. I tried 'magic' Lidl garden hose - you need to get it, it's perfect for summer As well as being drought resistant, lavender can also help keep pests out of your garden. Although lavender has one of humans' most beloved fragrances, flies can't stand the scent of it. Therefore, if you plant the fragrant flower near the entrance to your home or on the windowsill, it will act as a barrier against flies. How to Care for Lavender To get the most out of your lavender, plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. 8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots. Tricyrtis A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'. Penstemon I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes. Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata' With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade. Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue' A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period. Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem' If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers. Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days. Rosa 'Noisette Carnee' A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November. Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade. Once it's settled in, it won't need much watering – in fact, it prefers to stay on the dry side. French lavender typically flowers from late spring into early autumn, with a peak bloom period between May and September. Some varieties, like Lavandula stoechas "Papillon" and "Tiara", are known for their continuous flowering from late spring to early autumn. After French lavender flowers, you should trim the spent flower stalks to encourage more blooms and keep the plant compact. You can also prune the plant back in late summer or early spring to rejuvenate it and prevent it from becoming woody.

Who is Love Island 2025 contestant and bombshell Shea Mannings?
LOVE Island has revealed two new bombshells as one will look to build strong connections and tackle anyone who gets in his way. Here we get to know the latest hunk to enter the villa — Shea Mannings. Who is Shea Mannings? Shea Mannings is a 25-year-old Bristolian and will be one of the three new faces to be added to the villa in the same number of days since the show started, and will throw a new element of drama to the reality show. Before going on Love Island, he balanced two jobs, mainly working as a scaffolder day-to-day as well as playing football semi-professionally on the side. The 25-year-old has played for Swindon Supermarine FC since signing in 2024 and will be the third semi-pro baller in the villa this year after Dejon Noel-Williams and Harry Cooksley. In his career so far he has played for Southern League Division One South side Bristol Manor Farm in 2023, and before that he represented Ashton & Backwell in the Toolstation Western League Premier Division. Alongside his two jobs, Shea has a son, who he will not be keeping a secret. Before entering the villa, he said: "I have a little boy, so I'll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too.' While his Instagram bio says that he is 'off to find love in the Love Island Villa', what is Shea looking for in a potential coupling? He said: "She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together.' His Insta followers can often see him enjoying life in hotter climates and either working out or in action on the football pitch. And in comparison to some of his fellow Islanders, Shea is pretty quiet on social media, sharing only the highlights of his life and matches to his just over 6,000 followers. SECOND Love Islander is dumped in brutal bombshell recoupling What will Shea be like in the villa? Shea forms part of the two bombshell line-up with Remell Mullins and came into the villa just days after American pool party waitress Toni Laites shook up the villa on the first day. The Islanders were left stunned after Toni strutted into the villa and stole Shakira Khan's man, Ben Holbrough. It meant Shakira had to find a new couple and in a shock twist caused the early exit of motivational speaker Sophie Lee after recoupling with Harry Cooksley. But with the arrival of Shea and Remell, it is the girls' time to be tempted and stray from their couples. Before entering the show Shea said: "I am ready again to look for something more serious. I'm 25 now, so I want to be settling down and have someone always by my side." A source told The Sun: "The two new boys are already in the villa and immedietely started turning heads. "The OG lads thought they were safe but three bombshells in three days shows that producers aren't messing around."
