Home Bargains brings back 'world's biggest' supersize sweet for £5
Home Bargains has restocked a £5 product that is sure to delight sweet lovers. As seen on social media, the discount retailer is selling what it is calling the "world's biggest Werther's Original".
Showcasing the supersized product online, Home Bargains displayed the product on its shelves, revealing just how large the £4.99 Star Buy is. Home Bargains' Facebook post said: "The world's biggest Werther's Original (we think) is back in stock!" It received hundreds of likes and plenty of comments.
Responding to the post, one shopper said: "Excellent, my little girl bought this for Grandad last year and I so wanted one myself." Another excited viewer wrote: "Omg."
Someone else tagged their friends, writing: "Look at the size of this beast." In return, the friends replied "unreal" and "class". Others thought the newly restocked product would be ideal for Father's Day gifting.
Unfortunately, some commenters were disappointed to learn that the product is a novelty tin, which holds traditional sweets inside, not a supersized sweet. One such response read: "It's a tub of them not a big one." A similar reply read: "The thing is it's a plastic container that only has 2 bags inside!!!"
The product description on Home Bargains' website states: "Werther's Original Butter Candy novelty shaped tin in traditional sweet wrapper. Filled with 2x 135g bags of Werther's Original butter candies."
In more Home Bargains news, the retailer recently introduced Chick-fil-A sauce as a Star Buy, much to the delight of shoppers. A popular video shared by TikTok user Chloé-Ann (@kmaesthetics_) read: "Omg yes!!! Home Bargains giving us the Chick Fil-A sauce".
The video was posted on Tuesday (May 27), and it has received more than 880k views and hundreds of comments. The fast food chain is famous for its chicken sandwiches and its own line of sauces that customers can buy in bulk bottles to take home.
According to the American website, the classic Chick-fil-A sauce is "a classic dipping sauce with notes of mustard and a smoky tang." Customers couldn't wait to try the dipping sauce, which was priced at £4.79. Replying to the video, someone said: "I'm running." Another fan replied: "Oh my god !!!! Ours from NYC just ran out ………. Best news all week."
A keen shopper wrote: "Omg!!!!! What a bargain. Running there tomorrow." A similar comment read: "Yooo I'm running." Someone else wrote: "I GASPED." Meanwhile, a fan said: "Omg just came back from the US with this I could've saved my suitcase space. It's $3.70 there."
While it looks like Home Bargains only has the original variety of the fast food sauce in stock, the brand offers four more versions. These include Barbecue, Honey Mustard, Polynesian, and Garden Ranch.

Nationwide has issued a £300 warning to certain parents
During this cost-of-living crisis, mums and dads will reportedly have to spend over £300 on a back-to-school shop this year. Parents are expecting to spend £329 per child on back-to-school items, up £137 (70%) compared to last year. Over a third of parents (36%) claim that social media is to blame for influencing the list of 'must-haves' for schoolchildren, such as designer bags and insulated water bottles. To help parents ease the financial pressure of back-to-school shopping, money-saving expert Sue Hayward shares her tips. Whether you want to speak to a real person in branch, or do your banking online, there are many ways you can bank with us. If you need support, get in touch: — Nationwide (@AskNationwide) January 2, 2025 One parent, Sophie Wilson, who has one child aged five, told the building society: 'This year we'll be spending around £200 on back-to-school items, with school trainers and shoes topping the list. 'We're very fortunate that our school has a great second-hand clothing shop, run by the Parents' Association, so I tend to buy all my daughter's school-branded items from there and then supplement them with additional t-shirts and tights bought during the high-street sales. 'I've also found reselling apps such as Vinted to be a way to save. I've often bought school shoes from Vinted because they tend to be hardly worn. "Usually, a parent has just bought the wrong size or the child has suddenly had a growth spurt, and they come in at about 50% of the cost!' Sue said: 'Back to school is an expensive time of year as research shows some parents spend over £300 kitting their children out for the new school term. Recommended reading: "Pester power caused by social media trends can bring an added financial headache for families with one in three saying they feel under pressure to spend beyond their means. "Cash strapped parents can save by stocking up on basics like polo tops, jumpers and stationery with supermarket deals, and it's also worth looking for 'nearly new' uniform on sites such as Vinted and eBay. "With branded uniform, buying 'outgrown' items through the school or your local Facebook group can also help save money. And local councils may offer financial help with school uniform costs, depending on where you live.'

I've kitted out my entire home with Facebook Marketplace buys – I saved £619 on a luxe chair & my mirrors were only £10
You'll be shocked at how much I paid for my posh light HOUSE THAT I've kitted out my entire home with Facebook Marketplace buys – I saved £619 on a luxe chair & my mirrors were only £10 WITH the cost of living continuing to soar, there's no doubt that my purse is feeling tighter than ever before. But who said my home had to suffer? Thanks to Facebook Marketplace, I've been able to kit out my entire home with bargain buys. 10 Here, Abigail Wilson shares her favourite bargain buys from Facebook Marketplace Credit: Abigail Wilson As well as stocking up on furniture for my bedroom and living room, I've also transformed my hallway too. Not only have I saved hundreds of pounds in the process, but I haven't had to scrimp on style either. I've found all sorts of purse-friendly finds - from posh leaner mirrors to a stunning sideboard. I've spent a total of £590 on my pieces, which may seem like a lot, but you'll be stunned to know that I saved a hefty £619 on just one chair alone. Whilst in the process of saving up for a deposit to buy a property, spending thousands on furniture is of course, out of the question. So if you need some inspiration on how to transform your pad without running out of cash, you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. Sit down for this For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of having a Kartell chair. 10 This £654 chair was only £35 Credit: Supplied But with a price tag of £654, I convinced myself that owning one would never be a reality. For years I was constantly refreshing Facebook Marketplace, desperate to find the Louis Ghost Philippe Starck transparent chair. Then, one day I managed to spot one for just £35, saving me a jaw-dropping £619. I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic' Light it up Not only had I long wished for a Kartell chair for my bedroom, but a lamp from the same brand was also high up on my wishlist. 10 The lamp was down to £50 after a bit of haggling Credit: Supplied However, with a spine-tingling price tag of £349, it was another luxury buy I simply couldn't afford. I'd searched high and low to find a second-hand Kartell Bourgie Table Lamp, not just on Facebook Marketplace, but on a variety of other second-hand sites too, but they were often listed for £200 plus. Luckily, I was able to spot one from Facebook Marketplace for £75 and somehow managed to wangle a £25 discount, bagging it for just £50, saving myself an impressive £299. Bedder believe it While you can find a standard bedside from £15 online, I spent ages searching for a French-style buy. 10 I got two of these bedside tables for £20 each Credit: Supplied But many were over £200 and some racked up to £300. Luckily, I got my hands on two matching bedside tables from Facebook for just £40 for both. Yes, they're non-branded, but if you ask me, they look great and they're brilliant quality too. Top tips when buying on Facebook Marketplace Be scammer-aware As a general rule of thumb, deal locally, and face-to-face. If someone asks you to ship an item, be wary. Only use secure methods of payment, look at buyer and seller reviews, and inspect an item closely before purchasing it. Stick to Messenger to communicate as well. Choose wealthy areas to get high-end items at low prices A well-to-do person who is selling something on Marketplace probably doesn't know or doesn't care what their item is worth. This is a jackpot scenario for a buyer. Don't be afraid to haggle If an item has been listed for weeks, offer 25% below the list price. It's likely the seller will counter offer, but you'll still get the item for less than originally priced. Don't send the auto-filled 'Is this item still available?' message If you notice an item is well-priced and desirable, and you really like it, don't wait around. Send a friendly opening message with an offer, and make the transaction hassle-free for the seller. Keep search items as broad as possible Assume the seller doesn't know exactly what they have, where it's from, what the material is, what the design style is, or how much it's worth—and cast a wide net. Fill it up When you walk into my home, there's a huge open space that I was desperate to fill. 10 This sideboard is a real show-stopper Credit: Supplied I'd spotted the Glass Display LED Sideboard from Beliani for £319 and while it's currently been slashed down to £219.99, it was still out of my budget. Thankfully, someone was getting rid of one which was practically brand-new, for only £100. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the listing and yes, it was a bit of a faff squeezing it in my tiny car, but when I got it home, I couldn't stop beaming. Mirror, mirror Large leaner mirrors have been on trend for years now - and while you can nab some from The Range and Dunelm without spending too much, the William Wood full-length mirrors will set shoppers back £249. 10 I've always been a huge fan of leaner mirrors Credit: Supplied 10 These were £100 each from Facebook Credit: Supplied I managed to get two William Wood mirrors from Facebook Marketplace for only £100 each, saving me £298 in total. Of course, you'll need a big car (my mum had to help with this one), or hire a small van to transport them, which can be a bit of a pain. And yes, they still weren't mega cheap, but they're great quality and were pretty much untouched. A standing ovation for this bargain Those new to buying furniture may be surprised to know that TV stands are surprisingly expensive. 10 This TV stand only cost £35 and is originally from M&S Credit: Supplied I was in the dark about this and after browsing the web and seeing TV units for up to £599, I almost fell off my stylish new Kartell chair. I didn't want to break the bank on something so boring and while I wasn't fussed about the brand, I knew I needed something practical. Luckily, I managed to nab this stunning Amersham Corner TV Unit, which is currently sold out from M&S, for just £35, which if you ask me, is a real bargain. Cracking on After months of working from home from my dining room table, I decided it was finally time to invest in a desk. 10 This desk is a big hit with guests Credit: Supplied But in my mind, a desk is a pretty dull piece of furniture to be splashing the cash on. I wasn't too bothered about where it was from or the quality and there were plenty to choose from on Facebook. If you're fine with one from IKEA, there's endless options, but I was left smiling from ear to ear when I found this gorgeous buy for just £40 - and surprisingly, it's something my guests always compliment. Cutting costs on coffee tables There's plenty of glass coffee tables to choose from online, with prices varying massively. Hottest home trends for 2025 Renovations expert Andy Simms, from revealed the hottest interior design trends for this year. COLOUR DRENCHING Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space - doors, radiators, and even furniture won't escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige - once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms. STATEMENT WALLPAPER Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme. BROKEN LIVING PLAN Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn't quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces - with a twist. 'Broken plan' is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass. I spotted a stunning Solid Oak and Glass Dining Table on Oak&More for £249, but was gobsmacked when just hours later, I found a strikingly similar alternative for £20 - yes, you heard that correctly. I'm unsure where it was originally from, but for £20, I wasn't going to ask questions. Not only is it a real head-turner, but it's incredibly trendy too. Looking and costing good Don't ask me why, but I'm a big fan of shabby chic wall mirrors. 10 These circular mirrors are super pricey when buying directly through Graham & Green Credit: Supplied Rather than your standard mirror that you'll find in many living rooms around the country, I've always loved collecting pieces that are slightly different. I'm a huge lover of the Graham & Green Convex Glass Porthole Mirrors, but at £165 for a large mirror and £59.95 for a small one, they certainly don't come cheap. Thankfully for my purse, I was able to nab two large mirrors for £50, making them just £25 each, as well as a variety of little ones for only £10 each - and I couldn't be more chuffed.

Trustees to close Knighton and District Community Support
FUNDING concerns will result in a Powys charity that has provided vital support to its local community for more than 30 years being shut down. The trustees of Knighton and District Community Support have announced that, 'with great regret', the charity will be closed down in the coming weeks. Following a revelation earlier this month that the charity was struggling to secure its future, an emergency public meeting was called by its trustees. That meeting was held at Knighton Community Centre on Monday night, August 18, where chairperson Yvonne Moses announced that the trustees had come to the decision to close down Knighton and District Community Support. Chairperson Yvonne Moses said: 'It is with great regret that the trustees have agreed to close the charity, but all the trustees will be ready to work with any new volunteers who come forward to start a new group to run the transport scheme.' The charity runs a community transport scheme that helps people who haven't got a car, can't drive or have medical appointments to attend, as well as shopping trips and much more. The charity has been subsidising these journeys using money from grants and their furniture barn. The charity's furniture barn, which has provided steady income over the years, will close at the end of September and the office will shut at the end of October. It is still hoped that volunteers can be sourced in order to salvage the community transport scheme, although that is far from guaranteed. A packed audience crammed into the community centre on Monday, with the meeting called to clear the air, following what it called several misleading social media posts that appeared online at the beginning of August. 'The charity is not making as much money as in the past and this is mainly due to the lottery grant finishing and falling sales at the furniture barn,' Jake Moses, the charity's finance manager, was quoted as saying, in a post that appeared on the Knighton (Powys) Open Forum Facebook page on Tuesday. 'The charity has been running the barn and a shop but can no longer afford to do this. One of the reasons being in October 2024 the van used to collect furniture and bigger items to sell in the barn went out of use. 'Another reason was with the rise in online market sites and people having less money many were trying to sell items instead of donating them. 'The trustees are responsible for money owed if the charity continued and went into debt. 'The charity has tried to raise money by applying for grants and starting a gofundme page which brought in a few hundred pounds.' Yvonne thanked everyone for their support over the years and said a special thank you to the staff and volunteers who have worked hard for years. Nick Venti, from Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations (PAVO), said the organisation would support any new group that is formed to take on the transport side of things. Knighton and District Community Support initially announced on August 4 that it would be closing down the transport side of the charity due to a lack of funding. However, further evidence revealed the very future of the charity was under threat. Charity chiefs said they have tried desperately over the last six months to secure the future of the transport service, but to no avail. The Knighton and District Community Support project was formed by the churches in Knighton in 1994 and formally constituted as a charity in 1997.
