Aldi joins hot air brush craze with rock-bottom £12.99 option – and similar gadgets cost over £100 more
WITH summer in full swing, we're all looking for those perfect holiday looks - from beach waves to a flawless blow-dry that lasts all night. But getting that salon-perfect hair doesn't have to mean spending a fortune. 2 While the high-end brands have dominated the market, leaving us with serious gadget envy, Aldi has launched a new product that proves you can get the hair of your dreams without breaking the bank. The supermarket has joined the hot air brush craze with a rock-bottom £12.99 option, and it's a total game-changer. While popular stylers from the likes of Dyson and ghd can cost over £100 more, Aldi's budget-friendly buy promises to deliver smooth, voluminous hair with minimal effort. The hot air brush is part of their Specialbuy range and can be used on both wet and dry hair. It's no surprise that the tool is making waves, with the hashtag #hotairbrush racking up over 42 million views on TikTok as everyone tries to achieve that professional blow-dry look at home. And if you need a new hairdryer to go with it, Aldi is also bringing back its bestselling Ionic Hairdryer for the same low price of £12.99. It comes with three heat settings, two speed options, a cool shot function, and overheat protection. Both the Hot Air Brush and the Ionic Hairdryer will be available in stores nationwide starting August 21st.

But the dupe fun doesn't stop there. Aldi has also released a £1.99 Lacura Prism fragrance, which shoppers are claiming is "nearly identical" to the iconic Prada Paradoxe, which can cost upwards of £72 for a 30ml bottle. This travel-friendly scent is another budget-friendly way to get a luxury feel for less. 2 The supermarket has also launched a new £1.99 product that promises to instantly refresh your home and save you a fortune on repainting. The supermarket's new Touch Up Markers are the perfect solution for covering up scratches, dents, and stains on surfaces like furniture, cabinets, and wood.

Aldi to launch Lumberjack sauce range in stores soon
It will become the first supermarket to stock the Lumberjack sauce range, which won investment from Emma Grede on the BBC business show. Brothers Brendan and Jayden Manders started out their enterprise from their mum's kitchen with just £100 each and are now fulfilling their mission of "bringing bold flavour to [the] family table". Two of their sauces will be launched as a Specialbuy in Aldi stores from Sunday, August 17. A post shared by Lumberjaxe Food Company (@lumberjaxefood) The Lumberjaxe Backyard BBQ Sauce and Lumberjaxe Moonshine Mango Sauce will be sold for £3.99 each in 250g containers. Aldi added: "While Backyard BBQ offers a classically rich, smoky and sticky flavour, Moonshine Mango brings a sweet and fruity taste with a hint of spice. "Whether being used to marinate or simply to dip, the sauces promise to add a flavour that packs a punch." Shoppers will need to be quick if they want to get their hands on the sauces though, because as a Specialbuy, once the products are all sold, that will be it. Lumberjaxe co-founder, Brendan Manders, said: 'Honestly, it's a bit surreal. If someone told us last year we'd be in Aldi stores, we'd have laughed! A post shared by Lumberjaxe Food Company (@lumberjaxefood) "We're just buzzing that even more people can now try our sauces without paying a fortune." His brother and other Lumberjaxe co-founder, Jayden Manders, added: "Seeing our sauces on Aldi shelves is a 'pinch-me' moment. "We've poured everything into this range and knowing families are enjoying something that started in our mum's kitchen? That's just incredible!" Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: 'At Aldi, we love to champion growing UK businesses. "Brendan and Jayden's story is truly inspiring, and the sauces are delicious, so we can't wait to bring this fantastic product to our shoppers — we hope they love it!' Aldi was founded by brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht in 1946, when they took over their mother's store in Essen, Germany. This business was split into two separate groups in 1960, which became Aldi Nord (initially Northern West Germany) and Aldi Süd (initially Southern West Germany).

The current CEO of Aldi UK is Giles Hurley, who has held that position since May 2018.

Why Gers figures will play a prominent role in the Scottish election
Gers-day, every August, is a statistical festival to add to Edinburgh's other colourful offerings. It gives performers a wide variety of creative options to attract into them, and you'll find Scotland's public finances benefit a lot from the generosity of the Treasury in London. Spending per head last year was nearly £2,700 ahead of the figure for the UK as a you may find, as the Office for National Statistics told us for 2022-23, that spending per head is higher in same set of figures showed us that the net transfer of funds was not as big as the ones for north-west England, Wales, Yorkshire and Humberside or the West Midlands. Just because Scotland is the only part of the UK to go through this annual analysis does not mean it's the outlier. Dig a bit deeper, as the Scottish government has done, and you'll find that devolved revenues have been rising faster than devolved expenditure. That was the first choice of interpretation by Holyrood's Finance Secretary Shona may be so, but expenditure is a much bigger number than devolved revenue, so the growth rates don't matter as much as the actual minister added that Scotland raises more money per head than other parts of the UK except London and south-east puts it in that position is oil and gas tax revenue, which is on a long-term downward trend. Even if it weren't, it's widely recognised as an unreliable way to balance the nation's on the bright side of independence doesn't answer the awkward questions this raises, where there would be no division between devolved and reserved finances and a future with not much oil and gas revenue flowing. What choices would an independent Scottish government make? An independent Scotland would, last year, have had to borrow – if it could persuade the bond markets – more than one ninth (11.7%) of the economy's annual total output. The UK last year was borrowing one-twentieth (5.1%), while the European Union tells it members that less than one-thirtieth (3%) is more like the maximum sustainable answer from supporters of independence is that they could unleash the potential of the Scottish economy to grow faster and fill Holyrood's coffers with more tax revenue. That is preferable to setting out where the spending axe might have to figures, they remind us, reflect the slow growth you get under the current constitutional arrangements, and it should be possible to do much already finding that faster growth, sought by ministers in Westminster and Holyrood, is hard to achieve. It depends on the choices a newly independent Scottish government would make. There are trade-offs between growth and independent future may not seem imminent. But First Minister John Swinney has made that his chosen battleground for the Holyrood election next May. These Gers figures will surely feature in that debate.
