While the M&S loaded dips are £3.60 when ordering from Ocado, at less than £2 each, Aldi's alternatives are a real steal.

Foodies beam
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @squashedpickled, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 235,200 views, 5,019 likes and 182 comments.
Foodies were left gobsmacked by the tasty dips and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts on the M&S dupes.
One person said: 'Omg these sound delicious.'
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.
Another added: 'I look forward to trying these! Love the M&S loaded dips so let's see how the Aldi ones compare! Enjoy.'
A third commented: 'Ooooft!!! NEEEEED to try the caesar dip! M&S DUUUUPE!'
At the same time, someone else beamed: 'Consider me influenced.'
Not only this, but another savvy shopper wrote: 'Thanks for sharing. I'm going to Aldi.'

'M&S is back online - here's four items I'm ordering immediately'
Marks and Spencer has finally re-opened online for selected orders - and it's good news for fashion fans, but they'll need to do one important thing before they can checkout After weeks of refreshing the Marks and Spencer homepage, it's a relief to have the site back online. Seven weeks after the retailer was hit by a major cyberattack, M&S has finally reopened its site for selected online orders - and it's good news for fashion fans. As of this morning, the high street favourite is offering home delivery on certain bestselling clothing styles, meaning I could finally check out my long-awaited basket. But not without doing one very important thing first. Before placing an order, all shoppers must reset their M&S account password - it takes a couple of seconds to do and is a necessary precaution after the breach. With that done, I finally hit 'buy' on all the warm-weather pieces I've had my eye on. From fresh sandals to viral cotton dresses, and swimsuits that hold their shape, here's everything I'm ordering as a fashion writer as M&S makes its much anticipated comeback: Woven Shoulder Tote Bag – £39.50 I saw this bag on a friend's Instagram story weeks ago and immediately knew I needed it. It's an easy, neutral-toned staple I know I'll use nonstop, especially now that I can actually order it. I don't live particularly close to an M&S store with my nearest being around nine miles away, so not being able to order it online was quite a pain as I didn't want to do an 18-mile round trip if it wasn't in stock at my local store, but I've finally been able to get my mitts on it this morning. Coming in at £39.50, the Woven Shoulder Tote Bag comes in a dreamy light, dusky blue hue and is a surefire way to elevate your summer basics. Made from a woven leather-look fabric that is light and breezy, it boasts two top handles and an adjustable shoulder strap that can be removed for styling versatility. This small tote is exactly the kind of laid-back, practical summer bag that works for both errands and evenings out. A zipped inner pocket keeps valuables secure, and the whole thing feels more expensive than its price tag suggests. Wide Fit Suede Fisherman Sandals – £49.50 Fisherman sandals are set to be the must-have footwear for the summer and this suede pair perfectly blends the stylish shoe silhouette with the fabric that dominated spring. And at under £50, they're a great alternative to Dr Martens' £150 Wrenlie Bronx Suede Fisherman Sandals, which have a similar design. M&S's take on the trend is made in a wide fit - a rare and glorious thing for anyone whose feet don't fit into standard sizing. They're low-heeled, secure at the ankle, and have that timeless look that works with everything. Shoppers are already obsessed with the sandals having racked up a number of five star ratings, one of which read: 'I can't believe I have a pair of sandals that are both comfy and wide enough to not feel like I'm squashed in! I will be buying the black version too.' 'So comfortable, so classic, love them. I'm wearing them with everything from now on. I will probably buy a second pair. One pair for casual/beach etc. one pair for smart summer outfits,' wrote another. However, some reviewers found them too generously sized, so if your feet are only slightly wide, consider sizing down. One said: 'These are a lovely sandal but I found the sizing too large, both too long and too wide, so not for me. Great for someone with wider feet than mine.' Pure Cotton Bubble Hem Midaxi Dress – £49.50 There's a reason this bubble-hem dress has become a cult favourite among Instagram girlies. The bubble hem is dramatic but wearable, with a gathered skirt and cut-out back offering structure without feeling fussy. The cotton fabric feels breathable, and it's fully lined, making it feel super polished. In the reviews, one customer said: 'The dress is beautiful. I felt really nice in it and lots and lots of women asked me where it was from.' 'Stunning dress with a beautiful skirt shape and flattering bodice. Fresh summer weight cotton,' said another. But a third mentioned that it runs slightly small, commenting: 'This is a gorgeous dress but comes up small. Take a size bigger than usual.' This LBD (long black dress) is a real investment piece for your wardrobe. Pair with gold or silver jewellery and a cute bag and you've got a showstopper of an outfit for any occasion. We have also spotted a very similar style at Next, as the retailer is stocking its Sleeveless Racer Puffball 100% Cotton Midi Dress, available in white and black, for £42. Neoprene Scallop Plunge Swimsuit – £35 The perfect swimsuit has eluded me for several years, and each time I buy a new one, after 12 months, it never seems to fit as well or hold its shape. As such, I've been eyeing up the Neoprene Scallop Plunge Swimsuit at M&S, a style that has returned year after year in fresh colourways thanks to its enduring popularity. This tomato red shade is a dream, made from neoprene fabric for a smooth feel and a flattering fit. The scallop-edged plunge neckline adds a feminine feel without being over the top. It comes with removable padding and is made from chlorine-resistant StayNew fabric, which means it should actually survive a summer of wear. Perfect for pool days, spa trips or layering under linen trousers on holiday. Another option for those looking for the perfect beachwear is Cat Deeley's Evia Ruffle Swimsuit in black, which comes in at £80 from Boden. With lightly padded fixed cups and built-in Powermesh fabric to streamline the figure, it's the kind of swimsuit that suits a range of body types.

I was a broke 22-year-old struggling to pay bills – now I've made £45k in 10 weeks thanks to a ‘silly' side hustle
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 22-YEAR-OLD has revealed she made a whopping £45,000 in 10 weeks, with a side hustle that doesn't need a degree or any qualifications. Olivia shared that last year she was struggling to make ends meet, and thought that 2025 would be the same for her. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Olivia was living paycheck to paycheck before she started digital marketing Credit: TikTok/@elevatewitholivia 2 She claims she earned £6000 in 12 hours Credit: TikTok/@elevatewitholivia She said that she was living paycheck to paycheck in a job that paid her £1200 a month. Then, 10 weeks ago, she started digital marketing, using just her phone and her life completely changed. "I was burnt out, I was exhausted, I just knew that something needed to change", she revealed in a TikTok video. Olivia explained that to learn how to become a digital marketer, she paid for a course called Self Made Global Business Academy, which taught her everything she needed to know. "I genuinely owe most of my success to this exact course", she said. The savvy side hustler said that digital marketing involves selling digital products, such as guides, planners and courses. She said that she was given products to use when she started the course, and edited them and re-branded them. The TikToker claimed she now sells these products on for 100% profit. Olivia said that she made back the money she spent on the course on just day six. "I'm now a five figure business owner and I live every single day on my own terms", she said. I quit my 9 to 5 while still in debt - within days my 'exotic' side hustle brought in my old $70k salary in a month "I am honestly so grateful that I decided to actually take the leap." Olivia said that she was hesitant about starting digital marketing, but now wishes she'd started it sooner. She is now offering advice to others keen to start their own digital marketing journey. In a second video, the TikToker revealed that she was even able to make £6000 in just a 12 hour period.
