SNACK ATTACK Shoppers spot tubes of rare Pringles scanning through for just 25p at major supermarket BARGAIN hunters are flooding Sainsbury's after shoppers spotted rare tubes of Pringles scanning for just 25p. The budget snack finds were spotted at a Sainsbury's store in Kingsway, Derby, with eager customers rushing in to snap them up before they're gone.

Not sure who is more happy me or my lil ones.' The post quickly caused a stir on social media, with excited snack fans flocking to the comments to share their thoughts and tag friends. One user said: 'Great find. Wish they would do it online.' Another wrote: 'I need to pop to Sainsbury's.' Advertisement A third added: 'Wish they would do this all the time.' Others simply tagged their mates in the post, encouraging them to dash to their local branch while stocks last. Some joked that they were planning a detour on their way home to see if the bargain crisps were still available. The rare flavour first launched in January and seems to be making a surprise return — this time at a price that's hard to beat. Advertisement Alongside the 25p Pringles, shoppers are also buzzing over the arrival of a brand new Kinder bar. Although Kinder has released many variations over the years, this latest addition is already causing excitement among fans of the popular chocolate brand. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains It's not just the low price that's grabbing attention — it's also the mystery around the flavours. Earlier this year, Pringles launched a Super Mario-themed mystery crisp, sparking debate online about what it actually tastes like. Advertisement One person guessed: "Yoshi flavoured." Another quipped: "It's going to be mushroom!" A third chimed in: "Magic Mushroom flavour?" The official flavour hasn't been confirmed by Pringles, leaving it up to fans to figure it out. Advertisement Many say it tastes like pizza, while others think it's more like spaghetti or even ketchup. A YouTube reviewer claimed the taste was 'a mix of ketchup, pizza and spaghetti in Mario style', which would make sense given the Italian roots of the iconic Nintendo character. This isn't the first time Pringles has teased shoppers with mystery flavours. Past limited-edition releases have included Southern Fried Chicken, Pickle, and even Carbonara. Advertisement So if you're craving something new, or just after a great deal, it might be worth heading to your nearest Sainsbury's. But be quick, because with prices like this, they won't stay on shelves for long. How to save money on your supermarket shop THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop. You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced. If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time. Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket. Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too. This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines. Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect. For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50. If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too. Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.

Mario Kart World is the most exciting Mario Kart since the first one
Gaming Hands on with Nintendo Switch 2's stellar launch title Skip 4 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Mario Kart, but in an open world. It's one of those combinations that didn't seem blindingly obvious until Nintendo went and did it, at which point suddenly it made perfect sense. For the developers, it must have been a moment akin to the first time someone accidentally elbowed a salt shaker into a batch of caramel and invented the best flavour on the planet. We've had a chance to play Mario Kart World ahead of its launch alongside Nintendo's new Switch 2 console on 5 June and we're pleased to report it's the most exciting Mario Kart since the first one way back in 1992. In the same way Forza Horizon completely revolutionised the Forza series, the open world in Mario Kart World promises to do the same for Nintendo's kart racer. Only with significantly more banana peels. Advertisement - Page continues below Not that we didn't have a few concerns when Mario Kart World was first announced. There was a danger that some of the distinctive character of Mario Kart's courses would be lost with the transition to a single, giant sandbox. But whereas a Forza Horizon game has to be a vaguely coherent landscape in a particular region, Mario Kart World's map boasts diversity that other more grounded racers can only dream of. You'll seamlessly transition from racing along Terminator 2 -style dry canals, into a snow-capped peak, through a wild west canyon, and then on to a construction site that's home to a giant robotic ape. It'll be some time before we see that last one in a Forza game. What's more, each area isn't just background scenery; the tracks within that open world boast the same fiendish design and Nintendo attention to detail we've come to expect from a standalone Mario Kart circuit. Our favourite was a haunted cinema course that allowed you to leap directly into the screen and power slide along film reels through a silent, black and white horror movie. Having previously tried to sit through the original 1920s Nosferatu film, we're now certain it would be elevated with the addition of a go kart race. You might like The other thing the open world allows for is Knockout Tour, an online multiplayer mode which could well become your new favourite way to play Mario Kart, as long as you can handle the enormous amount of temple-throbbing stress that comes with it. It's a mad, sustained dash across the whole map, stopping off at a series of locations along the way. At each checkpoint the 24 starting racers are whittled down, with the trailing four karts knocked out permanently, and, this being Mario Kart, the race order is constantly shifting as players get clobbered with power ups including the dreaded blue shell. It might be worth getting in early with a prescription for blood pressure medication just so you're good and ready for launch day. Advertisement - Page continues below Mario Kart World doesn't appear to have lost anything in the transition to an open world design and, worry not, if all you want to do is play classic, split screen Mario Kart races on a single circuit that's catered for as well. We're yet to find out what activities are available when cruising around the traffic-filled roads of the Mushroom Kingdom between races, but with Nintendo's reputation for prioritising fun, we're not likely to be short of things to do. That's if we can tear ourselves away from one more go at Knockout Tour... Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter. Look out for your regular round-up of news, reviews and offers in your inbox.

All confirmed tracks in Mario Kart World
The big attraction for Mario Kart World is the fact that all the courses exist in the same open world. For the first time ever, we will be able to roam around between tracks in one seamless world to practice driving, find secrets, or just hang out with our friends. This will easily be the biggest Switch 2 launch game, but exactly how big is the world in Mario Kart World? Or more specifically, how many tracks are there? Nintendo hasn't revealed all the courses we can look forward to racing on, but we combed through all the footage to pick out every new and returning track revealed so far. Every new track in Mario Kart World Based on the screenshots and trailers for Mario Kart World, we have spotted nine new courses among the new circuits. Since there are seven circuits, each one having four tracks, that would mean the total number of courses should be 28 (or 29 if Rainbow Road is in the game but not included in these track lists). We do still see a few courses that haven't been named yet, so we know this isn't the full list. Here's each one we know in alphabetical order: Acorn Heights Boo Cinema Cheep Cheep Falls Crown City Dandelion Depths DK Spaceport Faraway Oisis Great Block Ruins Mario Bros. Circuit Peach Stadium Salty Salty Speedway Starview Peak Whistlestop Summit Recommended Videos Every returning track in Mario Kart World It wouldn't be a true Mario Kart game without at least a few returning classic tracks. By our count, Mario Kart World has 14 returning courses from across the franchise's history. We are almost sure that number will actually be 15 since Rainbow Road isn't technically confirmed, but was heavily hinted at in the Direct. For now, these are all the returning courses: Airship Fortress Choco Mountain Desert Hills Dino Dino Jungle DK Pass Koopa Troopa Beach Mario Circuit Moo Moo Meadows Peach Beach Shy Guy Bazaar Sky-High Sundae Toad's Factory Wario Shipyard Wario Stadium
