Tesco's birthday cake sandwich launch divides shoppers
The unusual creation is made up of two slices of birthday cake flavoured bread, a vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam filling and is finished off with birthday cake-style sprinkles Tesco has just launched a bizarre new addition to its meal deal selection, sparking fierce debate amongst customers: the Birthday Cake Sandwich. Hitting shelves today, the limited-time offering boasts the taste of traditional Victoria Sponge, complete with festive cake sprinkles tucked inside. Tesco confirmed to The Sun that the peculiar sarnie will be stocked for merely four weeks across 1,000 branches nationwide and online. Retailing at £3 individually, the sandwich can alternatively be snagged as part of Tesco's meal deal, setting back non-Clubcard members £4 or Clubcard holders £3.60. Following its debut, the Birthday Cake Sandwich has already taken social media by storm, reports the Express. Certain customers have applauded the sugary innovation, with one declaring: "I work for Tesco and had it for lunch it's b***** amazing." Another chimed in: "It's sooo good." Further shoppers expressed they were eager to sample it and would be dashing to Tesco. However, not all punters are sold on the concept. One sceptical customer penned: "Absolutely is a is cake no need to mix. Just wrong." Additional critics branded it "disgusting" and simply stated "aww hell nah". Tesco's newest invention follows closely behind M&S's Strawberries & Creme sandwich, which drew inspiration from Japanese sandos and became a hot topic during Wimbledon. The premium £2.80 sandwich showcases strawberries and whipped cream cheese nestled between slices of sweet bread. While M&S has a long-standing reputation for sandwich innovation, Tesco has been hot on its heels with unique offerings in recent years. Last year, it introduced a limited-edition ham, egg and chips sandwich inspired by traditional greasy spoon cafés, which was a hit with customers looking for something out of the ordinary. It remains to be seen whether Tesco's birthday cake-inspired creation will become a cult favourite - but it's certainly sparked conversation.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Major supermarkets have slashed the price of their school uniforms Credit: Alamy Asda, Aldi and Tesco have all dropped prices on their uniform bits or are launching bundle offers with prices starting from £1.50. We've rounded up all the deals below. Of course, always remember to shop around when buying any product, not least school uniform. Compare prices via price comparison sites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner to see if you've found the best deal on any given item. The Google Shopping/Product tab will give you a basic indication on whether what you've found is well-priced as well. That said, research by The Sun has found Aldi and Lidl are offering the lowest prices this year. Asda Asda has slashed prices on hundreds of school uniform bits with 20% off trousers, shirts and polos. Prices start from £1.60 for crew neck t-shirts and range up to £16 for five-packs of slim leg boys trousers. Parents can also buy hoodies for £4, jersey skirts for £5.60 and five-packs of long sleeve tops for £12. Shoppers on Facebook claim the 20% off offer is running in stores as well. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains We have asked Asda if it is available across all stores and what date the offer is running until both online and in-store and will update this story when we've heard back. Aldi German discounter Aldi is bringing back it's popular £5 school uniform bundle deal on Sunday (June 29). The bundle includes two polo shirts, a sweatshirt or cardigan, and a choice of trousers, skirt or cargo shorts – all for a fiver. Shoppers can't buy the bundle online as Aldi doesn't offer a home delivery service. As with all Aldi Specialbuys, you'll need to act fast as once they're gone, they're gone. You don't have to buy the whole bundle and can buy individual uniform items, with prices starting from £1.50. Sizes are available for kids aged four to 12. Tesco Tesco has launched a 25% off sale on its school uniform bits in store and online for Clubcard customers. You can sign up for a Clubcard for free via the Tesco website or by downloading the app for free on to your smartphone. The offer is running until June 29, with non-Clubcard prices starting from £3 (£2.25 for Clubcard) for a two-pack of crew neck t-shirt. Sizes are available for kids aged between four and 16. If you can't afford to buy school uniform now, Tesco is re-running the 25% off offer between July 22 and July 27. Alongside the school uniform deal, shoppers can pick up stationery with prices starting from 25p. How to get discounts on school uniforms Senior consumer reporter Blathnaid Corless reveals how you can cut costs... Grants to help with school uniform costs are offered by several councils across England, with up to £200 free cash available to parents. The Household Support Fund (HSF) is designed to help those on a low income, benefits, or classed as vulnerable. To apply, you'll need to get in touch with your local council. Most councils have pages on their website dedicated to the HSF, while you can also call your local authority to find out if you are eligible for the support scheme. Unlike in England, all local authorities in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales offer school uniform grants. It's also worth checking out your local charity shop to see what's on offer. Some charity shops have deals with uniform manufacturers and retailers meaning you can get brand new items at bargain prices. Meanwhile, many schools and community groups run second-hand uniform exchanges where parents can find and donate uniforms. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
