Lidl launches brand new bakery menu item that shoppers are going mad for
The German discounter's Strawberries & Cream Blondie is now available in stores for 89p per slice.

The treat comes with a classic vanilla and butter Blondie base and is topped with white frosting.
Shoppers were stunned to see the item on shelves, with one saying they "need it".
Another fan simply commented "oh my days" after spotting the item back again.
While a third said they just tried the delight and it tasted "amazing".
And another eager customer said: "Take my money."
But others weren't so impressed with the snack, with one shopper saying it looked like "lard".
The product is new to Lidl stores, but some shoppers may have confused it with it's Eton Mess Blondie.
The former treat, which was topped with meringue pieces, was sold seasonally last summer and is no longer available in stores.
If you are keen to try Lidl 's snack you will need to head to one its 980 stores across the UK.
That is because the bargain supermarket does not offer home delivery on any of its products, including food.

Shoppers race to M&S as one of their best selling items which is a mum-essential viral are scanning for just 63 PENCE
Strawberries and cream appears to be a popular flavour this summer, with M&S also launching a similar flavour snack.
The posh grocer has taken inspiration from a viral Japanese trend and launched the Red Diamond Strawberry & Crème Sandwich.
The £2.80 luxury sandwich comes packed with strawberries and a whipped cream cheese filling, all hugged between slices of sweet bread.
M&S said: 'With our exclusive Red Diamond Strawberries at their juiciest best, the time has finally come to create the ultimate strawberries and crème experience.'
M&S reckons it's perfect for everything from alfresco lunches, Wimbledon snacking, afternoon tea, or even just a sweet pick-me-up.
How can I save money when shopping at Lidl?
Lidl reduces items at the start of the day and the best deals can be found between 7am to 8am, when most stores open.
Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more.
Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also has its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain boozees.
Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl" – it's here where you'll find a load of random stuff that you didn't realise you needed, at decent prices.
But if you are hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the "Middle of Lidl" on the supermarket's website in advance.
The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday.

Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

Marks & Spencer food sales bounce back as High Street chain recovers from cyber attack
Marks & Spencer's food sales have bounced back this summer as it recovers from a cyber attack. The High Street retailer saw a 6.7 per cent surge in takings over the three months to August 9 compared to a year earlier, according to market research firm NielsenIQ. This was a higher rate of growth than the 4.3 per cent it recorded in last month's report. After it was targeted by cyber criminals over Easter, M&S halted website and app orders while its food stocking systems were thrown into chaos, leaving shelves empty. It did not sell clothes and homeware online for almost two months and did not offer a click-and-collect service for nearly four months. This sent shoppers in the direction of competitors, including Next, which sells many of the same third-party brands online. M&S expects a £300million dent to profits this year. But boss Stuart Machin has described the hack as a 'bump in the road' and said it will not halt a revival at the business. And M&S this month retained its 3.7 per cent market share, the same slice it held a year ago. This has brought it neck and neck with rival grocer Waitrose, which increased its share from 3.7 per cent to 3.8 per cent. When the attack hit, M&S had been enjoying the fruits of a long-sought turnaround after its clothes had been deemed 'frumpy' for years. It has enticed younger shoppers by offering stylish clothing ranges, advertised by stars including Sienna Miller. And it has boosted its food ranges, with new offerings such as pistachio creme and lemon hot cross buns going 'viral' on social media. Four individuals, including three teenagers, have been bailed pending further enquiries after the cyber attack over the Easter bank holiday. The personal data of millions of customers, which could have included names, email addresses, postal addresses and dates of birth, was stolen. Machin said: 'We are now focused on recovery, with the aim of exiting this a much stronger business.' Shares fell 0.7 per cent. End of King's reign Justin King is quitting the board of Marks & Spencer next month after six years. King (pictured) used to run the retailer's food business and was boss of Sainsbury's from 2004 to 2014. He will step down on September 10. He has been rumoured to be the frontrunner to take over as chairman of publicly owned broadcaster Channel 4. M&S chairman Archie Norman said that King, 64, 'leaves as a lifelong friend of the business'.

Standard Chartered faces FBI probe over claims it helped firms linked to Iran circumvent US sanctions
Standard Chartered is facing an FBI investigation and potential fines of billions of dollars after a British whistleblower's case was picked up by Donald Trump. Britain's fifth largest bank has been hit by more allegations that it helped companies linked to Iran's military and nuclear interests circumvent US sanctions. Standard Chartered has already been fined £1.5billion by the US authorities for breaching sanctions against Iran, through its US branch. But former bank executive Julian Knight claims it covered up the true scale of the breaches. Knight first revealed the allegations in the Daily Mail business pages six years ago and has fought a prolonged battle in the US courts with the bank and US government. Last week, Trump posted on his Truth Social account a story accusing New York's Democrat Attorney General Letitia James of ignoring Knight's treasure trove of bank data last year. The US President has targeted James, calling her a 'disgrace', after she successfully pursued Trump and his organisation for financial fraud, with a New York court handing out a £333million fine. Sean Buckley, the deputy US attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), has now revealed in an email to Knight's US lawyers that a file has been reviewed and passed onto the FBI. He wrote: 'SDNY and the FBI are committed to investigating these new potential sanctions violations. 'We and our partners at the FBI take such allegations very seriously.' The bank has consistently claimed that Knight, and his fellow whistleblower, American financier Bob Marcellus, had 'fabricated claims' to seek 'personal financial gain'. This is because under the US False Claims Act, whistleblowers are entitled to 15-30 per cent of any fines recovered from companies found to have defrauded the US federal government. They first handed over bank data to US regulators in 2012 but claim they have uncovered bank spreadsheets that showed vast amounts of 'concealed transactions with Iranian entities'. Last year, Knight and Marcellus and their legal team presented this evidence to US officials, including Chris D'Angelo, Letitia James' right-hand man at the New York Attorney General's office. Last night, Knight said: 'After 13 years, I feel vindicated and gratified that the Department of Justice has finally recognised the extreme importance of the information we provided in 2012.' Last night, a Standard Chartered source said that 'nothing has changed as far as we are concerned'.

Almost 80 per cent of pubs and restaurants have put up prices since last year's Budget
ALMOST 80 per cent of cash-starved pubs and restaurants have put up prices since last year's Budget tax-raid on businesses, figures have revealed. More than half of hospitality firms also axed jobs to help finances, with three-quarters operating at or below 85 per cent of required capacity. 1 Industry bosses warned Britain's pubs and restaurants are being squeezed by 'unsustainable' taxes, and urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to relax taxation on the sector in the upcoming Budget. The survey of members of the British Institute of Innkeeping, the British Beer & Pub Association, UKHospitality and Hospitality Ulster found 79 per cent of operators have increased prices as a direct result of rises to costs in April. Meanwhile, 73 per cent have less than six months of cash reserves, with one in five having none at all. It comes after Ms Reeves raised employers' National Insurance contributions, as well as the national minimum wage, in the last Budget. Many pubs were also hit by changes to discounts on business rates. In a joint statement, the trade bodies said tax hikes were forcing businesses 'to make impossible decisions to cut jobs, put up prices, reduce opening hours and limit the support they want to give their communities'. PENSION 'GAP' gender pay gap, analysis has revealed. They are shortchanged by £7,600 a year, the TUC reports, while the Prospect union says they get 36.5 per cent less than men. The Government has revived the Pension Commission to look into the causes. How to protect your pension and Inheritance from the new Budget TUC boss Paul Nowak said: 'We must make sure these inequalities are addressed.' AIR PAY STRIKE WORKERS at aircraft maker Airbus will stage a series of strikes over pay. About 3,000 Unite members will walk out for ten days next month. The union warned the strikes would hit production of wings for Airbus's commercial and military aircraft. Its members are based in Broughton, North Wales, and Filton, near Bristol. General secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Workers deserve a fair deal.' IT'S A REALLY TOP SHOP TOPSHOP has picked a luxury department store for its High Street return. Liberty in London's West End will stock its AW25 collection from next Thursday. Shoppers have been unable to buy the brand in-person since 2020, when all Topshop stores were shuttered as its owner went bust. Topshop teased its return online with a short video featuring the building's mock-Tudor façade. Liberty merchandising director Lydia King called the partnership 'really exciting', highlighting the nostalgia around Topshop's heyday.
