Aldi launches a UK supermarket-first - the new Dubai Chocolate Style Mochi
Aldi is set to release a supermarket first - as they continue the Dubai Chocolate hype. With temperatures set to soar once again these brand new Dubai Chocolate style Mochi are the perfect snack.
The dessert infuses two of the hottest and most viral food trends on social media - the Dubai Chocolate craze and the continuing Mochi obsession.
Mochi ice cream is a small, round confection consisting of a soft, pounded sticky rice dumpling (mochi) formed around an ice cream filling. This new flavour jons the already loved mochi line-up in Aldi, as each decadent piece features soft pistachio ice cream, crunchy Kataifi pastry and a sweet cocoa rice dough - perfect for an after-dinner treat or summer indulgence.
With ice cream sales already soaring 25% year-on-year, this viral sensation is set to be a guaranteed summer hit. Dubai Chocolate Style Mochi (£3.99, 6 x 35g), available in stores from 14th July - and be quick, as they're expected to sell out.
It comes after Aldi launched a brand new Kombucha style drink. Priced at £1.69, shoppers can snap up a 330ml bottle of The Juice Company Kombucha in stores. The nutritional drink is available in three flavours - including passionfruit, ginger and lemon and wild berry.
Aldi shoppers can keep their cholesterol and blood sugar levels down thanks to a health-enhancing beverage that's hitting shelves. The budget supermarket is now selling a kombucha drink, which is also known for its immune system and gut health-boosting properties.
Known for its health benefits, Kombucha contains live cultures that promote a healthy gut. According to Aldi, the drink combines "a tropical tang with bubbly refreshment."
The retailer says The Juice Company Passionfruit Kombucha is "bursting with a sweet yet tart flavour", and the ginger and lemon flavour provides "a warming immune system boost along with a zesty kick of citrus to offer a refreshing pick-me-up."
For shoppers looking for something sweet yet natural, The Juice Company Wild Berry Kombucha "brings a symphony of delicious berries," according to Aldi. The new kombucha drink follows Aldi's £2.29 Kefir Frozen Yoghurt, which comes in chocolate, mango and passionfruit, and strawberry, which is packed with calcium and protein to "boost gut health and wellbeing."
Kombucha made from green tea may offer many of the same health benefits as green tea itself, such as weight loss and blood sugar management. According to Healthline, kombucha is also rich in tea polyphenols and acetic acid, which have both been shown to suppress the growth of undesirable bacteria and yeasts.

Chilling prediction about Florida's condo crisis - the 5 crucial factors for the next 3 months
Experts have issued a chilling warning about the future of Florida 's condo market as insiders warn that the next three months could bring even more instability. Florida's condo market is facing a full-blown crisis, Miami real estate insiders have told Daily Mail. In an exclusive interview, Joe Brikman, Team Leader at The Modern Day Team, and Luxury Development Specialist Rebecca Fischer explained the reality facing both buyers and sellers in what they describe as a 'cautiously optimistic' but quickly changing market. The top realtors are predicting major instability in the next three months as buyers are urged to avoid rushing into bad deals. 'The biggest piece of advice I'd give is: don't rush,' said Brikman. 'The deals are out there, but you need to do your homework.' 'Make sure you're working with an agent who understands what to look for especially when it comes to building financials, reserves, and upcoming assessments,' he said. 'It's not just about the unit, it's about the health of the entire building.' The duo outlined five crucial factors every potential Miami condo buyer must consider, starting with building reserves which are more critical than ever before, especially after the devastating 2021 collapse of condo building Champlain Towers South in Surfside. Looking ahead, the experts predict a continuously emerging market over the next six months with a major clash between old and new buildings. File picture of Collins Avenue, Caribbean South Beach Condominium These are the crucial factors Miami condo buyers should watch out for right now: 1. Building reserves Make sure the building has strong reserves in place. It's more crucial than ever under new state laws. 2. Assessments Ask if there are any current or upcoming special assessments. These can cost owners thousands and often come as a surprise after closing. 3. Inspection and recertification Confirm that the building has passed its required 40-year (or 30-year in some counties) safety inspection. 4. HOA fees Take a close look at monthly HOA fees and what they include. Many buildings have raised dues significantly to meet legal requirements. 5. Insurance costs Premiums across Florida are skyrocketing. Buyers should factor rising insurance rates into their long-term budgeting The 2021 collapse of a condo building in Surfside led to a new law that requires condo buildings to undergo structural inspections and shore up reserves Looking ahead, the experts predict a continuously emerging market over the next six months with a major clash between old and new buildings. He said savvy buyers, who have done their research, will come out on top. 'Over the next 3 months, I think we'll keep seeing price adjustments, especially in older buildings that haven't addressed reserve requirements,' Brikman said. 'In six months, the buyers who've done their research and bought smart will be sitting in a great position,' he predicted. 'I think newer buildings and those with clean financials will stay strong, while others may continue to struggle.' Still, the market disruption has created some jaw-dropping opportunities. The Modern Day Team currently has a $350,000 four-bedroom penthouse in North Miami Beach, a $750,000 two-bedroom penthouse in Brickell, and a two-bedroom waterfront apartment in Miami Beach hitting the market soon. There are still areas with opportunity for buyers. Edgewater, parts of Downtown, Brickell, and North Miami Beach are emerging as value hotspots, particularly for new construction buildings. 'On the Resale We're seeing sellers get more flexible some are offering to cover closing costs, buy down interest rates, or even cover a few months of HOA fees,' he revealed. 'Cash buyers especially have more room to negotiate.' When asked to sum up this year's market in two words, the response was telling: 'Cautiously optimistic'. 'Buyers are still active, but they're more careful and they should be,' Fischer noted. 'It's a different kind of market than it was a year ago.' The 2021 collapse of a condo building in Surfside led to a new law that requires condo buildings to undergo structural inspections and shore up reserves. This has meant that many HOAs have been hiking fees and doling out hefty special assessments to comply with the new rules, which has reduced demand for condos. The Surfside condo collapse saw 98 die in the tragedy. There are now new plans for a $15million-per-unit apartment block on the site dubbed The Delmore. The ultra-luxury high-rise is being constructed by Dubai-based developer Damac Properties after it purchased the land for $120million less than one year after the collapse on June 24, 2021.

I changed phone deal to save money – then EE said I wracked up £94 in extra charges

Email money@ ASK ADELE I changed phone deal to save money – then EE said I wracked up £94 in extra charges Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Q. I've had a mobile phone contract with BT for the last eight years and currently pay £12.66 a month. In April, I was offered a new contract with more data for just £10 a month. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Consumer Champion Adele Cooke solves your money issues The contract was provided by EE as the two networks are merging. I was pleased with the offer so I agreed and signed up. But I was shocked when I received my first bill for March. I was charged an eye-watering £56 - £43.34 more than in February. The next month another shock bill followed, this time for £58. Both times I was told that I had gone over my data allowance. When I called and asked what I had used the extra data for I was told that the company does not have the information. I thought this was unfair, especially as I had set up a £40 bill cap on my account. I have spent hours on the phone trying to sort this out. Is there anything you can do? Malcolm Finch, via email. A. We all use data to scroll on social media, surf the web and stay connected to our loved ones. But in this situation your contract caused a disconnect between you and EE. It is important to read the terms and conditions of a mobile phone contract before you sign up. Although it may seem similar to your current plan, there could be higher fees or penalties if you make too many calls, use extra data or send lots of texts. This is what happened in your case. BT said you exceeded your data limit on your March and April bills. You were charged for the data you used up to your spending cap of £40 a month. A spending cap allows you to limit how much you can use your phone outside of your normal plan. BT has agreed to refund you £79.98 for the additional charges as a gesture of goodwill. A member of its team has also called to explain how the spending cap works so you do not get hit with a big bill again. This case shows how important it is to set a spending cap that you can afford. It should help you to limit how much you spend on roaming, picture messages and texts, which can stop you racking up extra charges. If you have a spending cap in place then your provider should let you know when you are getting close to your allowance. That's why I was very surprised that EE unwittingly let you rack up such a big bill, but I'm glad you have got your money back. Squeeze team total: £224,628.

This killer of men can no longer be ignored
In medical circles, prostate cancer is often known as 'the invisible killer'. Its early symptoms are hard to detect and it may remain undiagnosed until too late. Some 10,000 men a year are diagnosed with prostate cancer only after at least three visits to their GP. And every year, some 12,000 lives are cut short unnecessarily by the failure to treat this hidden menace before it has spread beyond the prostate gland. So The Telegraph is proud to announce a new campaign calling for a targeted National Health Service screening programme for prostate cancer. It is nothing short of a scandal that such a programme does not already exist. We ardently hope that you, our readers, will join us in a mission to right this wrong and thereby save, over time, many thousands of lives. The importance of early detection and diagnosis has been demonstrated by the huge improvement in survival rates for breast cancer since mass screening for women aged 50-70 was introduced by the NHS in 1988. Since then, it has reduced deaths from breast cancer by at least 20 per cent. The NHS is now extending breast screening to women in their 40s and 70s. Yet there is still no equivalent mass programme for prostate cancer, which is the most common form of cancer for men and the second biggest killer. Middle-aged men are notoriously reluctant to visit the doctor. Prostate cancer presents a particular problem, because patients are embarrassed and may have unjustified fears that a medical examination would be unpleasant. A mass screening programme would help to remove the myths and stigma. The reality is that PSA blood tests — which are simple, cheap and painless — should be routinely offered to patients who are at risk of prostate cancer, especially if they have a family history of the disease. Yet in reality many GPs seem reluctant to do so: more than 5 per cent of prostate sufferers had to make five surgery visits before being offered a PSA test. The answer to this injustice is to roll out a national screening programme, as Prostate Cancer Research and many experts have long advocated. Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has lent his support to the Telegraph campaign, but the decision lies with the UK National Screening Committee. We can only hope that its members recognise the overwhelming body of evidence in favour of screening for prostate cancer. The Telegraph will play its part in making sure that the invisible killer can no longer be ignored.
