With the costs soaring, many supermarkets have come to rescue with freebies for cash-strapped Brits - and Marks & Spencer is no exception.
The supermarket recently launched its new baby club - the Parent Hood - and there are heaps of perks that come with it.
As well as having access to nutritionist-approved recipes for tots and monthly rewards to name a few, M&S is now also handing out free cake and treats for members of the scheme.
One shopper who recently spotted the epic offer on her app was mum-of-two Jess - who also took to TikTok to share the news with fellow parents.
''I love that M&S always gives freebies to parents and this time they're giving us a free full cake and also a Piccolo breakfast pouch for your child.
''All you need to do is be a part of the Parent Hood Club, load it onto your Sparks card - you'll see there's loads of offers on there.''
Once you've picked the cake and the healthy pouch for your little one, simply head to the till and scan them at the checkout using the offer.
Jess, who posts under the username @thepiecesofparenthood, went for the classic red velvet cake, she shared in the clip.
Thanks to the epic deal, Jess saved £4.25 on the cake and an extra £2 on the Piccolo pouch.
The mum-of-two is not the only one raving about the deal - as TikTok user @littleoutfitters also showed off the scrumptious Chocolate Fudge Cake she'd nabbed for free.

She told fellow parents in the video: ''If you're a Sparks card holder and already a part of the parenthood club then go grab your free cake from @Marks & Spencer .
''There's also a free @MyLittlePiccolo pouch from the M&S Cafe!''
If you're already a member of the club but cannot find the offer, the mum advised to ''try logging in and out of account''.

She said: ''It may be worth updating the app or logging in and out again.
''If still not there then contact them so you don't miss out on this and future rewards.''
The cash-savvy TikToker chucked in the comments: ''I literally went M&S just for the cake.''

People say I'm a Short King... I told a girl my height on a dating app and her rejection was horrible
A man who is 5'6 is opening up about the controversial way that he was rejected by a woman - calling it a 'humiliation ritual.' In a viral video posted to TikTok this week by Atlanta-based musician Ian, who goes by the username @ian3snacks, he chronicled an 'embarrassing' experience he recently had while dating. 'Yesterday, I matched with this absolute goddess of a woman, like, just draw-droppingly beautiful,' Ian began. 'I noticed that she's taller than me, which, for queer women, normally that isn't an issue, I'm a short guy, I'm only 5'6, but she was straight, and that tends to be a deal breaker for a lot of straight women, which is not a big deal,' he continued. He joked that he only checks two out of the three 'tall, dark and handsome' boxes that most women are looking for. 'So, per my standard protocol, I DM her, and I say, "Hey, you're stunning, did you see that I am only 5'6?"' he said. In response, the woman said that she didn't happen to see how tall he was on his profile. She then asked Ian if he cared if she was taller than him or even wore heels on their date. 'I think she thought I was gonna get insecure and bail out so that she wouldn't have to be the bad guy, but I hit her with the Uno reverse,' Ian said. 'I said, "Actually, I'm totally comfortable with it, like you do you, just getting to have dinner with you would be compliments enough. Or, otherwise, if you want to politely see yourself out now, no harm, no foul, I get it,"' he continued. After he sent her that message, Ian claimed that she 'immediately' unmatched with him. However, it looks like Ian didn't take it personally. 'This is not a woe is me story, I just like telling funny dating stories,' he explained. In a recent interview with Newsweek, the filmmaker shared that he likes to be as 'upfront as possible' on dating apps. 'Men's height gets talked about enough online that I try to get it out of the way immediately if I suspect it might be an issue that got overlooked,' Ian told the outlet. 'In the same way, I've had curvier women ask me if I was OK with how they look - which I always am,' he continued. 'I just want to make sure that it's clear that this girl is not a bad person. I do not want her [seen] as a shallow-minded villain.' In the comments section, however, people were divided over his tactic, with some revealing they respected his transparency while others suggested he was to blame for the woman's decision to unmatch. 'Not giving short kings a chance is the biggest error of my 20s and 30s,' one person admitted. Another shared, 'Your response would have made me want to date you even more regardless of height!!!!! She's missing out!!!' 'Ladies need to remember that rockstars are always short kings and their model girlfriends are always taller than them. I think it's hot,' someone else typed. Others thought that he may have given her the 'ick' by asking about his height - and then giving her the opportunity to bow out of the match. 'Listen! You gave her the ick with the 'if you want to see yourself out now' I'm telling you ! That's what it was. It showed you were saying you weren't worthy,' one TikTok user wrote. 'Ok, I don't think she bounced because of your height. When she asked if you were cool with heels, just say yes and go on the date. Don't ask again. You have more to offer than height,' another echoed. 'As a taller woman, we were bullied relentlessly by boys growing up so that's what might be informing that preference,' someone else agreed.

Britain's biggest family gets even bigger as Millie Radford reveals ‘surprise new addition' to her brood
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITAIN'S biggest family has got even bigger, as Millie Radford has revealed the 'surprise new addition' to her brood. Mum-of-three Millie, who first became a parent at 19 and is Sue and Noel Radford's third eldest daughter, got candid on the eight-week-old newest member of her family. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Millie Radford has left fans gushing after sharing the "surprise" new member of her family Credit: TikTok/@ 7 Posting online, Millie, 23, was joined by her husband Harley Passmore, as they gave followers a close-up look at their 'new addition" Credit: TikTok/@ 7 Millie's youngest child Elodie is just 22 months old and she's now got a Jack-A-Poo puppy named Bella Credit: instagram 7 Millie is also mother to Ophelia Jo and son Chester Bleu Credit: instagram/millieradfordd/ Posting on social media, Millie, 23, who recently opened up on a holiday mishap when travelling to the States, was joined by her husband Harley Passmore, as they shared their 'big surprise' with fans, leaving many totally stunned. Millie, who is already mother to Ophelia, four, Chester, three, and Elodie, 22 months, beamed as she said: 'Hi guys - so we have a big surprise to share with you all.' Following this, Harley chimed in and claimed: 'Ophelia was begging us for ages, it was at least a year.' The couple then held up their 'new addition' - a Jack-A-Poo puppy named Bella. Harley explained: 'She's literally just over eight weeks old,' whilst Millie continued: 'She is teething at the minute, so she's just chewing everything. 'She absolutely loves this mayhem house - when I picked her up, in her litter she was probably the most playful one, which was very ideal, especially for this household because it's just constantly mad.' The 22 Kids & Counting star then admitted: 'I was scared to get a dog - three young kids and a dog, but she has been great. 'She's settled in really well as well - so yeah, that's our new addition.' Moments later, Harley, who was previously filmed breaking down in tears on his wedding day to Millie, then recognised: 'I had to beg Millie. 'Millie wasn't too keen at first, she thought it would have been a bad idea, but I feel like it's been such a good idea because I feel like it's changed Ophelia's behaviour. Millie Radford who had first baby at 19 says mum Sue is crazy for having 22 kids & insists she'll stop at three 'She's starting school in September, so I thought it'd help out loads.' Millie's TikTok clip, which she posted on her official account @ has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 134,200 views, 5,452 likes and 76 comments. Who's who in the Radford family? The Radfords are Britain's biggest family with 22 children. Here are the kids from eldest to youngest include: Chris - born May 7, 1989 Sophie - born December 13, 1993 Chloe - born July 31, 1995 Jack - born April 9, 1997 Daniel - born March 3, 1999 Luke - born October 1, 2000 Millie Radford - born August 29, 2001 Katie - born November 14, 2002 James - born October 17, 2003 Ellie - born May 6, 2005 Aimee - born April 21, 2006 Josh - born July 3, 2007 Max - born December 11, 2008 Tillie - born May 2, 2010 Oscar - born October 22, 2011 Casper, - born October 3, 2012 Hallie - born June 3, 2015 Phoebe - born July 24, 2016 Archie - born September 18, 2017 Bonnie - born November 6, 2018 Heidie - born April 3, 2020 Millie's fans were overjoyed by the couple's latest 'addition' to their brood and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'So cute.' Another added: 'Aww lovely your little new addition.' They will probably abandon that dog when they go on their millionth holiday TikTok user A third commented: 'Lovely puppy.' Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'She's adorable.' How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live? AS Britain's biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills. Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money. The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel's bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home. On their website, it says: 'We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.' The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK. The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out. The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don't get a free ride as they're made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents. "Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it's not a lot but I'm also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.' their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel. Sue added: "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we'd rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer. 'I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We've always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.' Noel and Sue famously don't rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income. They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media. The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting - which has run for four series. Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show. He told the Daily Mail: "The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature. "If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee." He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode. Whilst one user beamed: 'The dog and kids can grow together and learn with each other." However, at the same time, one user snapped: 'They will probably abandon that dog when they go on their millionth holiday.' But to this, Millie confidently wrote back and set the record straight, as she claimed: 'We ain't going on holiday this year.'

Comedian Matt Rife's new e.l.f. Cosmetics ad about ‘overpriced beauty' sparks fury months after plastic surgery rumors
But there was a lot of love for the drag queen starring alongside him FILLER UP! Comedian Matt Rife's new e.l.f. Cosmetics ad about 'overpriced beauty' sparks fury months after plastic surgery rumors Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) COMEDIAN Matt Rife is getting a lot of hate over his controversial new e.l.f. makeup ad about 'overpriced beauty.' His inclusion in e.l.f.'s TikTok campaign has been slammed by viewers months after he fended off plastic surgery rumors. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Comedian Matt Rife's new e.l.f. cosmetics ad about 'overpriced beauty' has sparked fury Credit: Instagram/elfcosmetics 4 Comedian Matt Rife features alongside drag queen Heidi N Closet who portray lawyers in the brand's spoof legal commercial Credit: Instagram/elfcosmetics 4 Matt Rife was ridiculed for being included in the ad Credit: Getty Images - Getty Upset women have vowed to stop buying the brand - with mothers declaring they won't purchase it for their daughters, and ardent fans sharing their feelings about their disgust over the tone-deaf ad. Customers have criticized the firm for including Matt Rife to plug makeup despite a domestic violence joke he told in 2023. He faced backlash after jokes on his Netflix special appeared to make light of domestic violence. Rife told the story of eating at a restaurant with a pal when they spotted their female server had a black eye. They discussed why the owners wouldn't have the woman working out of sight - in the kitchen - to avoid customers asking questions. "Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have a black eye," Rife joked in the special. One person who slammed e.l.f.'s decision ranted on social media, "In Matt Rife's Netflix stand-up special Natural Selection he opened with a domestic violence joke, implying a woman wouldn't have a black eye if she could cook." "You didn't have the budget for a comedian who doesn't joke about abuse?" asked another shocked viewer on the brand's Instagram post. E.l.f. was scorned for being "disgusting" by one shopper, while another consumer asked, "Is Matt Rife here to sell us concealer for black eyes from domestic violence?" And another user wanted to know if the brand would "put Andrew Tate in an ad next?" Matt Rife gives 'real' reason for major face changes in new tell-all book after 'frightening' plastic surgery rumors The brand has now apologized for upsetting loyal customers, admitting it "missed the mark." The TikTok ad features Rife, 29, and drag queen Heidi N Closet, an American drag performer who was a contestant in RuPaul's Drag Race. The advert has attracted nearly 20,000 comments on TikTok alone in since being launched on Tuesday. 4 The new e.l.f. cosmetics ad 'missed the mark' the brand has admitted Credit: Instagram/elfcosmetics It features the pair fronting a spoof legal commercial - ' and Schmarnes defending your eyes, lips, funds.' It asks 'have you fallen victim to overpriced beauty?' Rife jokes that and Schmarnes have, 'gone to court for millions of clients, helping them to access beauty products they deserve at prices that won't injure their livelihoods. 'I know a thing or two about red flags, and pricey makeup, you deserve better than that.' He then opens up a suitcase stuffed with piles of cash, and makeup. The pair - described as 'affordable beauty attorneys' - then offer to help provide 'cold hard lash'. There were fears that Heidi might suffer as a result of the "disgusting" ad. One person wrote, "Why did you put the beautiful, hilarious, heidi with matt? Heidi deserves this ad, you did her dirty by putting them together." Another warned, 'Sales are gonna plummet and they are gonna blame Heidi when it's actually Matt Rife's fault.' One viewer noted: 'In his Netflix special [he] joked about domestic violence… He's a very unlikeable person.' Another vowed, "I will never spend another dollar with elf. They know the jokes be made about D V." And one fumed, "Your gel moisturizer and cream moisturizer are perfect for me; I've been buying them religiously. "And now I'm done. It's absolute bulls**t for you to make money off women and give it to Matt f***ing Rife. May the company plummet." Another fumed, "Okay cool. So elf really doesn't give a s**t about us, the ones that actually support the business! "Why on this green earth would you ever think that Matt Rife would be a good spokesperson for elf cosmetics? do you guys really just want to go under?" Many requested recommendations for alternative makeup, with one lamenting, "Darn I loved ELF but as a domestic violence survivor I simply can't buy from you guys after this." The huge backlash follows a mixed reaction to Sydney Sweeney's racy jeans ad in July. Some - such as US President Donald Trump - praised it as "the hottest", while critics compared the advert, which declares 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans", to 'Nazi propaganda'. The U.S. Sun has contacted e.l.f. and Rife for comment. Kory Marchisotto, E.l.f. beauty's global chief marketing officer, told the Business of Fashion 'Obviously we're very surprised,' at the negative response. 'There is a big gap between our intention and how this missed the mark for some people... we always aim to deliver positivity, and this one didn't. "So we find ourselves in a position where, quite honestly, that doesn't feel good for us.' The firm issued a statement on Wednesday, which said, 'You know us, we're always listening and we've heard you. "This campaign aimed to humorously spotlight beauty injustice. "We understand we missed the mark with people we care about in our e.l.f. community. "While & schmarnes closes today, we'll continue to make the case against overpriced beauty.' It follows speculation about Rife undergoing multiple plastic surgeries - gossip that he quashed in his memoir published last year. He sparked rumors that he quietly went under the knife after fans discovered old photos of the star with a drastically different look.
