Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
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.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Plus, it's a whopping £55 cheaper than the Dremel Cordless Lite Rotary tool 3.6V which is currently on sale at B&Q for £67.
DIY fans will also be pleased to know that Lidl has launched a £4.99 toolkit that will save you hundreds on buying a new phone.
The Parkside Smartphone Repair Set comes with 32 pieces, including screwdrivers and suction cups, to help you take apart your smartphone, and fix it yourself.
The kit can be used to fix any smartphone including Apple and Samsung devices, and can also be used to fix laptop and tablet screens as well.
Anyone who has been struggling to sleep in the extreme heat will be pleased to know that Livarno Home Double TopCool Duvet has landed in Lidl stores just in time for the heatwave.
Designed to keep you cool and comfy, the £10.99 duvet features a micro-fine cover that cleverly regulates moisture and body temperature.

Hundreds of thousands of pensioners face 'new' tax this year
The Chancellor is under fire as hundreds of thousands more pensioners are dragged into the income tax net, thanks to the triple lock and the personal allowance freeze Soaring numbers of pensioners are set to get caught in the income tax net this year – without feeling any richer – as HMRC stats indicate 420,000 more pensioners will pay the tax in 2025-26. Nearly 8.7 million over-65s will be paying income tax, marking a 5% hike from the previous year. The issue stems from the ex-Tory government's move to anchor personal tax allowances at £12,570 from 2021 all the way through to possibly 2028 – a decision that Chancellor Rachel Reeves upheld in her inaugural Budget. This worrying threshold freeze pairs with state pension values climbing almost 30% thanks to the 'triple lock', and that means a substantial number of retirees will now hand over basic-rate tax cash at 20%, despite relying solely on state support. Policy expert David Brooks from Broadstone cautioned in The Times: "While the country's demographic shift naturally increases the number of pensioners liable for income tax, fiscal drag is unequivocally pulling hundreds of thousands more into the income tax bracket each year." In 2021, the full new state pension was at £9,332.20. By April, it had increased to £11,973 - just £597 short of the frozen personal allowance. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts that within two years, it will rise again to £12,885.50, surpassing the tax-free threshold by £315.50. Wealth manager Quilter has warned that pensioners receiving the full entitlement - after 35 years of National Insurance contributions - would be taxed £63 a year on their pension alone, without considering any other income such as savings, dividends or rental returns. Critics have long contended that this so-called 'fiscal drag' is a method for the Treasury to gather billions, without outright raising tax rates. Meanwhile, millions of workers are also being pulled into higher tax brackets. The number of Brits paying 40% higher-rate tax is predicted to reach 7.1 million this year, up from 5.1 million in 2022-23 - a 39% increase. Even more remarkable perhaps is the surge in those paying the 45% top rate: 1.23 million people will surrender nearly half their earnings above £125,140 this year, more than double the 570,000 from just three years ago. The number of basic-rate taxpayers has also risen - from 28.8 million in 2022 to 30.8 million today. Neela Chauhan, partner at accountancy firm UHY Hacker Young, said: 'Though it might seem equitable for higher earners to be paying more tax, there are real concerns over the impacts of placing an ever higher tax burden on high earners. 'Increasing the tax burden too high could push these people to leave the country or deter talented people from moving to this country. There are already concerns of a 'brain drain' in the UK.' Rachel Reeves has said the freeze on tax thresholds will end in 2028, however she is now under pressure to continue it through to 2030 in order to head off a black hole in government finances and stick to her fiscal rules.

Sainsbury's investors eye sales as grocers step up focus on price cuts
Sainsbury's will be the latest supermarket to shed light on how its sales have fared in recent months as grocers battle to lure in squeezed shoppers amid rising food inflation. The UK's second largest supermarket chain will publish its first quarter trading update on Tuesday. It has not been immune to competition heating up among UK retailers in recent months, several of whom have come under pressure to cut prices to reel in consumers struggling with a higher cost of living. The shift has partly been sparked by Asda promising its biggest price cuts in 25 years while discounters Aldi and Lidl continue to take on larger rivals with low-cost products. Both Tesco and Sainsbury's have Aldi Price Match lines, offering hundreds of products price-matched to Aldi across stores. Sainsbury's recently said it had more products in the scheme than any other retailer with around 800 items from fresh and cupboard food to wine and toiletries. A group of analysts for AJ Bell pointed out that Sainsbury's shares were 'nudging toward their highest mark in a year, and they are not that far from their five-year Covid-inspired high either'. 'This suggests that fears of a supermarket price war, spearheaded perhaps by Asda, are yet to be realised,' they said. The analysts noted that recent data from the Office for National Statistics showed food and non-alcoholic drink prices rose by 4.4% in the year to May – the highest level in more than a year. Investors will be keen to see how the group's sales have fared in recent months, since reporting a 4.2% increase in full-year sales, excluding fuel, back in April. At the time, it predicted its profits to be flat in the year ahead as stronger sales volumes were expected to be offset by weaker profitability amid the investment in price cuts. This means that underlying profits should come in at about £1 billion for the year to the end of March 2026. Investors will also be watching out for any update to its annual forecast on Tuesday.
