‘I need it' say shoppers as they rush to ASDA to grab popular snack scanning at just 68p
SHOPPERS are rushing to Asda after spotting a brand new flavour of Pot Noodle hitting the shelves – and it's only 68p. The Flame Grilled Steak flavour has sent fans into a frenzy, with many declaring, 'I need it!'. The new snack has been spotted in Asda stores across the UK, and it's quickly becoming a must-have. A post in the popular Facebook group NewfoodsUK revealed the find, with the caption: 'New Flame Grilled Steak Pot Noodle spotted at Asda.' Fans wasted no time sharing their excitement. Wendy Whiley commented: 'Ooooft! I need it!' while Nigel Noble added: 'Yes just tried it and it tastes nice like flame grilled McCoys.' Others were quick to offer tips on how to enjoy it, with one user writing: 'Don't add the soy sauce, instead add some squirty mustard in it. Thank me later.' The new flavour joins a long list of Pot Noodle favourites including Chicken & Mushroom, Beef & Tomato, and even quirky ones like Sticky Rib. But it's the steak version that's winning hearts – and trolleys – this week. Kadii Allen tagged a mate saying: 'For next time we go to ASDA,' while Mathew Lundy reminisced: 'Brazilian BBQ steak used to be my favourite no longer seen – hopefully this one is banging.' Shoppers are clearly eager to try it and see how it stacks up. Christina Arrand wrote: 'Yes, I've ordered one in next week's shop,' showing how quickly it's been added to shopping lists. Sian Thomas also said: 'I baught a few of these in Asda the other day,' with fans wasting no time snapping them up. There's also a bit of friendly debate among long-time Pot Noodle lovers. Darren Ellison weighed in saying: 'But nothing beats Chicken and Mushroom.' And some shoppers, like Summer Santilli, are sticking to the classics. 'It's getting a bit silly now, these new flavours. I'm still in the 80s with Beef & Tomato lol,' she wrote. Asda appears to be the first major retailer to roll out the new snack, but it may well pop up in other supermarkets soon. At just 68p, it's a bargain snack that's easy to grab on the go or chuck in the cupboard for a quick meal. The excitement comes just a couple of months after Tesco added Pot Noodles to its £3.60 meal deal, letting customers pick one up as part of their lunch combo. But with a price this low at Asda, shoppers might not wait until lunchtime. It's not the first time Pot Noodle has sent snack fans wild. Previous limited edition flavours have come and gone – often leaving customers begging for them to return. Whether Flame Grilled Steak becomes a new classic remains to be seen, but early signs suggest it's off to a sizzling start. 2

Shoppers rush to Aldi to pick up dupe for Cadbury favourite
CHOCOLATE lovers are racing to their nearest Aldi to snap up a dupe for a Cadbury favourite. A savvy shopper posted the sweet treat on the popular NewfoodsUK Facebook group. 1 Aldi's new Honeycomb Clusters have left shoppers in a frenzy Aldi's new Honeycomb Clusters are a dupe of Cadbury's popular Crunchie Clusters. Hundreds of sweet-toothed fans liked and commented on the post, raving about the new product. One user wrote: "They look yummy." "I ate the whole bag," another commented. This shopper said: "Ooooo a dupe of my fave!!" "I have to get these if I go," a fourth added. Chocolate fans will need to visit their nearest Aldi to grab the new snacks, as the dupe isn't available online. It comes after Home Bargains revealed their dupe of an elegant Polish chocolate bar, which is 92 per cent cheaper than the original. The delectable chocolate straws, stuffed full of hazelnut cream, are being snagged for literal pennies, 15 to be exact. The original Tago rolls cost £1.99, and one user commented that buying a similar product in a Cyprus airport can cost a whopping seven euros. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains Chocoholics show no sign of slowing down after Easter as they rave about the "creamy hazelnut" filling, which "puts the Nutella into the crispy treat." One raved: 'They taste beautiful, they're dangerous, I can't stop eating them.' Another agreed, exclaiming: 'Oh my go, they are delicious, these will not last long, hazelnut is my kryptonite." One TikTok food reviewer, whose discerning taste buds command the respect of nearly 70k followers, proclaimed: 'These are absolutely delicious and an absolute bargain! 'That creamy filling is to die for. "I literally drove back to the store, 15 minutes away, to grab more before they went." Creamy, creamy, creamy- the word was repeated by almost every reviewer. Remember to compare prices It is important to always shop around as you might find a cheaper alternative. Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price. Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal. A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for too. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
