Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ Recession risks: President Donald Trump's tariffs — those he has threatened and those he has already enacted — have led some experts to predict that the US economy could enter a recession while also seeing inflation rise. Here's what it means for consumers. 2️⃣ On the lam: Grant Hardin, a former police chief in Arkansas, was serving lengthy prison sentences for murder and rape.

Then they were convicted of conspiracy to defraud banks out of more than $30 million in loans.

I cleared the shelves of 35p cereal with little-known hack – trolls call me greedy but I filled my car for just £2.10
A BARGAIN hunter has come under fire after proudly showing off his mega haul of 35p Kellogg's cereal. Sainsbury's customer, Phil Bradshaw, was slammed after he cleared the shelves and filled the boot to the brim with cut-price cereal. 2 2 According to the thrifty shopper, the popular supermarket was running a deal which meant he only paid a mere 35p for the branded breakfast favourite. The popular brand usually goes for around £3.50 at most retailers, so Phil managed to save a whopping 10x the original price. In his post, Phil explained that Sainsbury's was selling bowls for £5 and cereal for £3.50- however, if you buy the set, you get the bowl totally for free, saving yourself a fiver. He went on: ''But they had reduced the bowls to £2.50 and cereal to £2.85 but till was still taking off £5 for the bowl. ''So a bowl and a box of cereal (only four types in the offer) for 35p.'' The bargain-mad shopper also revealed that he was keen to get even more of the cut-price offer - but with no luck. ''I ran out of stores with bowls or believe me that pic would have looked rather different!'' he chuckled. The Sainsbury's customer isn't the only one who purchased a pile of the wallet-friendly cereal. Another bargain hunter, Mandy Crawford, uploaded a snap of her mega haul with over a dozen of the branded cereal. Unfortunately for Phil - who snapped up dozens of boxes - as well as all the other shoppers, the offer now seems to be ended. ''I went to buy some this morning and till said no,'' he said in the comments. 'You had to grab them all so nobody else will' But while Phil may have been all chuffed with the monster haul, the reaction on the Yellow sticker shopping tips, tricks and hauls was mixed. Since being shared online, the post has racked up more than 130 likes - and a range of comments, including criticism. How to cut the cost of your grocery shop SAVING on your shop can make a big difference to your wallet. Here are some tips from comparison site about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills: Write yourself a list – Only buy items that you need. If it isn't on your list, don't put it in the trolley Create a budget – Work out a weekly budget for your food shopping Never shop hungry – you are far more likely to buy more food if your tummy is rumbling Don't buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they'll charge for chopping can be eye watering Use social media – follow your favourite retailers to find out about the latest deals Be disloyal – You may want to go to different stores to find the best bargains Check the small print – It's always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you're making a like for like decision as a bigger box won't necessarily mean you get more Use your loyalty cards – Don't be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards One furious person said: ''And you had to grab them all so nobody else will.'' ''Lost me,'' another chimed in. A supportive Facebook user wrote: ''People are far too quick to judge other not keep their tactless comments to don't know what this person was gonna do with it.'' Someone else added: ''Well done. Ignore all the bitter folk who are jealous. Buy what you can afford and do as you see fit with it.'' Hitting back at the trolls, Phil said: ''I fully expected some of the comments. ''The really funny thing is they think I'm bothered. ''I had great fun getting them all and lots of people will be eating cheap cereal for a while and all thanks to the 'generosity' of one of our faithful supermarket chains who struggle to make a profit.''

Kellogg's issues update about popular breakfast cereal one year after it was recalled over choking risk
Kellogg's has issued an update about one of its most popular breakfast offerings - one year after the chocolate cereal was recalled over safety concerns. The breakfast giant confirmed there are 'no current plans' to bring back its chocolate-covered corn flakes following the mass recall from UK supermarkets last May in a statement to The Sun on Wednesday. The £2.75 boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour were pulled from supermarket shelves after they were feared to contain 'hard lumps' that could cause choking or dental damage. However, the product has remained noticeably absent from grocery stores since then as fans asked Kellogg's whether it would be bringing back the childhood favourite cereal. Writing on X, formerly Twitter, one person asked: 'Did @KelloggsUKI discontinue chocolate cornflakes again?' Another said: 'I know you recalled chocolate cornflakes, but are they ever going to be back again, they were only brought back for a few weeks then re called.' Meanwhile, a third customer tweet read: 'Any idea when your chocolate cornflakes are coming back in store?' Shoppers also took to the social media platform to express their excitement amid rumours Kellogg's was bringing its chocolate corn flakes back, with one person reportedly praising them as '10/10'. However, a spokesperson for the FMCG giant later said: 'We love that Kellogg's fans are so passionate about their favourite cereals and we're proud to be a part of millions of people's breakfasts each morning in the UK. 'We can never say never, but while there are no current plans to bring back Chocolate Corn Flakes, we do have lots of other exciting new products out now, like Kellogg's Oaties and Bluey Multigrain cereal, with more coming next year for cereal lovers to try.' Kellogg's reintroduced the cereal - branded the 'best Corn Flakes ever - last January after pressing pause on the product more than ten years ago. The sweet breakfast cereal first hit supermarket shelves back in 2013, receiving rave reviews from customers. Even though it was wildly popular with shoppers, the cereal was discontinued the same year - with Kellogg's opting to bring it back with a slight twist last winter. Unlike the original version of the chocolate flavoured cornflakes, they were coated in cocoa instead of chocolate in their most recent iteration. The twist meant that the cereal retained its chocolatey taste while being high in vitamin D and fibre. Emily Dutton, activation manager at Kellogg's told The Sun at the time: 'It's great to be bringing chocolate flavour Corn Flakes to breakfast tables. Fans of the cereal have been wondering whether Kellogg's would be bringing back its chocolate flavoured corn flakes since the recall 'They can be eaten alone for an extra crunch or with milk, where the coating washes off to make the milk delectably chocolatey, whilst the Corn Flakes stay crispy.' By May, however, the product had been recalled as the Food Standards Agency (FSA) advised shoppers to dispose of the 450g packs and ask for a full refund. Chicago-based Kellanova, formerly Kellogg Company and the maker of Kellogg's cereals in Europe, said it is 'voluntarily recalling Kellogg's Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour cereal due to a quality defect' at the time. The company said: 'This voluntary consumer recall relates to Kellogg's Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour cereal which is a new product on sale since January 2024 and available in Tesco, One Stop, Londis, Budgens, Booker Premier stores and Booker Cash & Carry outlets.' Shortly after the recall, Kellogg's discontinued another one of its popular offerings as the company apologised to customers for shelving Crunchy Nut and Caramel Bites. Kellogg's Crunchy Nut and Caramel Bites was first introduced in 2008, and contained clusters of baked mixed cereal with peanut and caramel. According to Talking Retail, the unique shape and size of Crunchy Nut Bites when it first launched meant Kellogg's had to invest in introducing new technology and food manufacturing equipment in order to produce the cereal. Last September, a spokesperson for the company said the product had been discontinued in response to fan comments on X. Thanking customers for sharing their photos and reviews of the product, the spokesperson added: 'We're sorry, but this product has been discontinued. Your feedback will be shared with the relevant team.'
