Aldi has a new Specialbuy that works as a great beauty product
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 as with all Specialbuys, they're only available while stocks last, so you'll have to be quick to get your hands on them.
Aldi has also launched a new skincare and beauty dupe that will have shoppers racing to stores.
All upcoming 'Aldi Finds' in the middle aisle next week – including portable chargers, power toothbrushes & dryer balls
The budget supermarket's new £3.99 Tanning Facial Drops promise to give a summer glow without the sun, rivalling the much more expensive Tan Luxe Illuminating Face Drops and saving you £32.
Perfect for packing in your holiday bag, the 30ml drops come in two shades - 'Light to Medium' and 'Medium to Dark' - and are formulated with skin-loving ingredients like Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, and Raspberry Fruit Extract.
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.

Landing in stores as part of Aldi's Specialbuys, these bargain pens come in a variety of colours, including pine, black/brown, white, and both grey and white grout.
The quick-drying formula means you can easily touch up marked areas without worrying about smudges, making them ideal for a quick and effortless home makeover.

Record number of households snooping on friends and neighbours to HMRC
HMRC is plotting a shakeup around how it rewards individuals for reporting fraud TAXING TIMES Record number of households snooping on friends and neighbours to HMRC Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE taxman received a record number of tip-offs last year from households snitching on friends and neighbours. HMRC gives cash to people who provide evidence of tax fraud. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 HMRC gives cash incentives to those who report tax fraud Credit: Alamy In 2024-25, there were reportedly over 164,670 reports to its fraud hot line, marking a 9% increase year-on-year. That is according to analysis by accountancy firm Price Bailey, which was first published in The Telegraph. The number of households ratting out their peers has reached a record high, but the amount of cash doled out by the HMRC has slumped. Last year, the tax office handed out a total of £852,438 to whistleblowers. This is down 13% compared to the 2023-24 period. Tax fraud can be reported online through the government's website or you can ring the HMRC hotline on 0800 788 887. Individuals can report a number of offences, including tax credit and child benefit fraud and tax avoidance or evasion. You do not have to give your personal details and any information you do give will be kept private and confidential. HMRC will then access what to do next and will make a decision on whether to pay the person who reported it. Typically, HMRC only pays discretionary awards based on factors such as the amount of tax recovered and the time saved in investigations The Sun has asked HMRC for more information on how much individuals receive for reporting tax fraud and will update this piece when we hear more. What Does My Tax Code Mean? A Simple Guide to Your HMRC Letter It comes as HMRC is plotting a shakeup around how it rewards individuals for reporting fraud. Earlier this year, the taxman unveiled plans for a new reward scheme for those who make reports. The scheme is similar to a practice carried out in the US, with whistleblowers receiving a percentage of the tax recovered. This is expected to be rolled out by the end of the year. What is considered tax fraud? Tax fraud is like tax evasion - this is where someone avoids paying the government. Someone who commits tax fraud will have deliberately avoided paying the government. Tax fraud, according to HMRC, includes: deliberately submitting false tax returns falsely claiming repayments or tax reliefs hiding income, gains or wealth offshore smuggling taxable goods If someone is found guilty of committing tax fraud they could face financial penalties or even criminal conviction and imprisonment. If you are being investigated by HMRC for potential tax fraud, it will notify you via letter.

Lidl's British workers get fifth pay rise in two years
LONDON, Aug 15 (Reuters) - The British arm of German discount supermarket Lidl is to give its 28,000 hourly paid workers a fifth pay rise in two years, matching the increased level offered by rival Aldi, it said on Friday. The Bank of England is keeping a close eye on wage settlements as it assesses whether to lower interest rates further. Official data published on Tuesday showed Britain's jobs market weakened again, with payrolls falling for a sixth month and vacancies dropping further. However, wage growth stayed strong, underscoring why the BoE is so cautious about cutting interest rates. The latest increase from Lidl GB, which trades from 980 stores, will from September 1 see entry-level pay rise from 12.75 pounds ($17.32) an hour to 13 pounds nationally, rising to 13.95 pounds with length of service. Workers in London will see higher rates. Last month, Aldi UK said it would pay store assistants at least 13 pounds an hour from September 1. Industry leader Tesco (TSCO.L), opens new tab will pay a minimum of 12.64 pounds an hour from the same date. Britain's government-mandated main minimum wage is currently 12.21 pounds an hour. Earlier this month, the body which effectively sets the rate said it will probably need to rise to 12.71 pounds next year to keep up with the government's goal for it to match two-thirds of median earnings. ($1 = 0.7362 pounds)

More than 100 big stores including Sainsbury's & Tesco at risk of closure over Labour's planned business rate increases
The new rates will not impact Aldi and Lidl as they operate smaller premises. STORES IN CHECKOUT More than 100 big stores including Sainsbury's & Tesco at risk of closure over Labour's planned business rate increases Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MORE than 100 supermarkets belonging to some of the UK's biggest chains are at risk of closure because of Labour's planned business rate increases. Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons may have to shut large stores, as the Government plots to raise rates for businesses with properties that are worth more than £500,000. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Morrisons is among the supermarkets who may have to shut large stores if Labour increases business rates Credit: Getty Around 50 of Sainsbury's 600 supermarkets will become unprofitable as a result of the higher property charges, according to the Financial Times. The changes would put several Tesco stores at risk, as well as 30 of Morrisons' 500 sites. Sources also revealed that 90 per cent of around 600 Asda stores would be hurt by the introduction of the increases. The new rates will not impact Aldi and Lidl, however, as they operate smaller premises. The Government is bringing in the rate increases to provide extra funding to smaller retailers and hospitality businesses. Tim Martin, boss of pub chain Wetherspoons, blasted the tax raid last month and warned it could lead to fewer boozers on high streets. The planned tax raid comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves had already hit businesses with an increase in employer National Insurance contributions and the national minimum wage in April. LIDL PAY RISES LIDL is raising its store staff's wages to £13 an hour — joining rival Aldi as the UK's highest-paying supermarket. The basic rate, currently £12.75, will jump nationwide from September 1, rising to £13.95 with length of service. It marks Lidl's fifth pay rise in two years. The budget retailer increased hourly pay for 28,000 staff on April 1. The current national minimum wage of £12.21 could hit £12.86 next year. BOO BOSS CALL BOOHOO has been urged to suspend its chairman and founder for reportedly taking a cut of payments to settle a personal debt. The online fashion firm's Mahmud Kamani took a £100,000 cut from cash meant for a jeans supplier, The Telegraph has alleged. Mike Ashley's Frasers Group, which has a 29 per cent stake in Boohoo, wants an independent investigation. It comes amid increased friction in recent years between Mr Ashley and retail rival Mr Kamani. Mc-GONE-ALD'S BURGERS McDONALD'S has riled customers by quietly axing several fan-favourite items. The bacon double cheeseburger, bacon mayo chicken and triple cheeseburger were all taken off the menu in May. 2 McDonald's has quietly axed its Bacon Double Cheeseburger Credit: McDonald's One miffed punter called the £2.89 bacon double the 'best item on the menu'.
