Aldi is launching a £15 NutriBullet dupe in DAYS… and it's £55 cheaper than branded version
ALDI is launching a £15 NutriBullet dupe in just days, and it's £55 cheaper than the branded version. Whether you're aiming to be healthier by making a delicious morning smoothie, or fancy trying your hand at a hearty soup, blenders can be a great addition to any kitchen. However, with branded blenders setting you back upwards of £60, they can seem like an unaffordable luxury for many. Thankfully, Aldi 's budget-friendly Specialbuys are here to save the day. From garden tools to beauty dupes, Aldi's bi-weekly middle aisle offerings are constantly wowing bargain-loving customers. And landing on Thursday, July 31, the Ambiano High Speed Blending Set is sure to be another offering that will impress Aldi fans. Aldi blender The bargain gadget comes in three sleek colours, black, grey and red, meaning there is an option to go with every style of kitchen. It's ideal for blending smoothies, juices and dips, and you can customise it with three different cup sizes. The budget bit of kit also comes with two solid lids and a flip top to go lid for on-the-move sipping. Aldi said: "Experience the convenience and power of the incredible 11-piece High Speed Blending Set - the ultimate tool for blending, grinding, and creating delicious dishes with ease." The £14.99 tool will be located in the middle aisle of Aldi stores but you better be quick as it will only be available whilst stocks last. Cheaper than a NutriBullet The bargain buy is £55 cheaper than the NutriBullet 600, which retails for £69.99. Aldi rolls out 'INSANE' shelf change to all 2,550 locations - and it means 33% more savings for shoppers The 600 watt branded buy and the Aldi product look strikingly similar, and share many of the same features such as different sized cups and a number of lids. It is unclear what the wattage of the budget product is, but The Sun has contacted Aldi to find out. More Aldi bargains Dozens of great Specialbuys landed in stores yesterday, including a cute and comfortable plush Bluey, Bingo & Muffin armchair, which the store said will be "perfect for your child to play, read or relax in". It added it will "also make a great addition to any child's playroom or bedroom and is made of high-quality plush with a soft filling". Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock. It costs just £24.99 but is not recommended for children under 18 months due it its size. Other items in the sale for children include a Pokemon squish, for just £12.99, and a Pokémon squishmallow for the same price. Shop around in the middle aisle and you'll also find a Bluey Soft Toy, for just £6.49, Play Doh Assortment (£5.99) and a variety of activity books for just 89p, with Giant Sticker Activity Books costing just £1.99. Aldi said: "There's hours of fun to be had with these giant sticker activity pads. Includes stickers and plenty to colour in. "Let their imaginations soar with their favourite characters." The store adds these books "promote creativity and problem solving" while customers can choose from characters such as Bluey, Paw Patrol, Dino, and Unicorn. Today's bargains also include items for parents such as a 10-can pack of Aspall cider for just £10.49, equivalent to £3.18 a litre. In addition to these, there are Loaded Tasty Takeouts Burger crisps from Seabrook for only £1.25 a pack of 130g.

In the shot, Heidi opted to go topless and wear just a thong bikini bottom that showed off her generous backside. The former Victoria's Secret Angel model flaunted her toned figure in the barely-there bikini, walking effortlessly to the idyllic sea. Giving her followers a cheeky glimpse of her pert derriere, she captioned the video: 'Let's dip'.

The German and American TV personality paired the bottoms with some gold shell earrings. Heidi went makeup free for their day at the beach with her hair styled into tousled waves.

CCTV footage captures brazen breakfast bandit snatching DoorDash delivery from Prahran doorstep
A cheeky breakfast bandit has been caught on CCTV footage sneaking into the front gate of a property in inner Melbourne to swipe a DoorDash delivery. A young woman in leafy Prahran contacted the Herald Sun after realising her $13.50 smoothie had been poached from the door step. The woman had received a notification that her order had been dropped off — but then before she made it to the door, her CCTV cameras alerted her that another person had made their way through the gate of her yard. Footage revealed a brazen bandit who looked to be passing by before spotting the brown bag and sneaking in to pinch it before scuttling back onto the street. His dog follows, confused close behind. 'It was only out there for three minutes,' the woman who ordered the smoothie said. 'I'm not mad, just hungry.' Finding all but an empty doorstep, the woman could only hope the smoothie snatcher was lactose intolerant. The woman has contacted police to report the alleged offender.

Travis Scott Teams Up With Erewhon to Drop Gut-healthy Smoothie Collaboration
Travis Scott is in gut health mode. On Monday, the 34-year-old rapper became the latest celebrity to partner with California-based grocery store Erewhon to launch his very own smoothie called 'Storm Storm,' a green and pink blended concoction chock-full of probiotics. Scott is the first Grammy-winning hip-hop artist to team up with the organic supermarket after its previous collaborations with Winnie Harlow, Kourtney Kardashian, Gisele Bündchen, influencer Nara Smith, Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber. More from WWD Princess Diana's Birthday Looks Through the Years: Her Sleek Black Jacques Azagury Dress, Vibrant Colors and More Emma Roberts and Hongjoong Lead the Amber-colored Hair Trend at the Jacquemus Spring 2026 Show Bakeries Are the New Pubs in London A mix of Agua de Kefir's fizzy Dragon Fruit Fresca and Cocoyo Piña Colada Raw Coconut Yogurt, 'Storm Storm' is a non-dairy, tropical beverage, priced at $22. The ingredients are meant to be both hydrating and gut-friendly. The Auga de Kefir additive, specifically, is cactus-powered vegan kefir water made with postbiotics, leftover waste from prebiotics and probiotics, as well as electrolytes. Kefir water is known to help decrease inflammation and maintain a balanced gut microbiome to absorb nutrients and aid digestion. Cocoyo, the cult-favorite creamy yogurt, is plant-based and 'live,' which means it continues to ferment well after it's packaged. Cocoyo has gained significant recognition online with a slew of wellness influencers singing its praise. With more than two billion probiotics in its formula, the rich yogurt benefits the gut flora, otherwise referred to as the microbiome. While the cost of one smoothie is a bit pricey, a portion of the proceeds is reportedly being donated to the Cactus Jack Foundation, a nonprofit organization empowering the youth of today, which was founded by Travis Scott in 2020. Since its establishment, Cactus Jack Foundation has launched a handful of year-round programs, such as the Fashion Scholarship Fund Design Ethos 101 Partnership, and the Waymon Webster HBCU Scholarship Fund. Other ingredients in the tie-dye smoothie include Unsweetened Coconut Malk, Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen, Sun Chlorella Supplement Powder, and Magic Mind Mental Performance Shot. The frozen drink is also caffeine-free. Arguably, the most notable Erewhon smoothie collaboration is Hailey Bieber's 'strawberry glaze skin' concoction, which is still available to order today. Bieber launched the thick, creamy blend back in June 2022. The drink's drop purposefully coincided with the debut of her now $1 billion skin care brand, Rhode, as well as the 'glazed donut' beauty trend, as popularized by her. Fans flocked to the high-end market to try the sweet treat and later post a review online. The smoothie remains in high demand, even though it's still around three years later and most others are not.
