Aldi launches new Magnum ice cream dupe that's cheaper than branded version… and you get more
With temperatures to rise again next week, shoppers will be rushing to the retailer to get their hands on the latest bargain.
Magnums are a decadent treat and perfect for cooling down on a hot day and they taste even better when you can save some pennies too.
Aldi is selling their new tasty Magnum dupe - Gianni's Pistachio Chocsticks - for just £2.49.
That will get you a four pack and comes in nearly £2 cheaper than the Magnum version.
The Magnum Collection Pistachio Ice Cream sticks are currently sold in other retailers such as Sainsbury's for a whopping £4.25.
What's even better is that you get more for your money at Aldi with the Magnum version only sold in packs of three.
This comes after Aldi reported record sales of ice cream for one day last month.
Sales jumped by more than 35 per cent during the last heatwave with over 12 million ice creams sold.
Alongside the Magnum dupes, the bargain retailer is also selling Gianni's Cola Bottle Ice Lollies which have been flying off the shelves.
A pack of six 360ml lollies is priced at just £1.99, that's 33p a lolly.
But when it comes to other Magnum dupes, we've got you covered too.
Aldi's Gianni milk chocolate ice creams came in fourth in a recent blind taste test to find the best tasting Magnum alternatives.
Claiming the crown was M&S with the posh retailer's own brand version coming in 46% cheaper.
Shoppers can get a pack of three for £2.40 and were impressed with its sweetness and strength of chocolate flavour.
The Sun recently reported on the cheapest shops to buy ice creams too including Magnums and Cornettos.
Iceland is currently charging £2 for a three pack of the ice creams, making it the cheapest on the market.
That works out at 67p per ice cream and looking at unit price it works out at 87p per 100ml.
That is compared to Waitrose which is charging £3.50 for the exact same size packet.

EXCLUSIVE I spent 13 years renovating my grade II listed cottage in Hampshire - here's why I'm selling up
Thirteen years ago Claire O'Donnell purchased Rose Cottage in Tunworth, a hamlet in Hampshire. She fell in love with the grade II-listed cottage's charm and character and the fact it is nestled in a quiet location but still close to amenities. The 68-year-old, who worked as an airline stewardess with British Airways before retraining as an interior designer after having children, has viewed the cottage as a labour of love over the years. The property's previous owners had lived in France and only occasionally visited. When Claire and her family purchased the property, which was built in the late eighteenth century, it was clear it needed to be lived in and looked after. 'As they say, when the cat's away the mice will play, and the mice were certainly at play in Rose Cottage', Claire told This is Money. She added: 'The hand-made curtains in the living room were nibbled away all along the skirting boards. 'After carefully relocating the wildlife outside, I could see the opportunity to revitalise and restore the cottage, maintaining its period heritage while bringing it into the twenty-first century.' Since buying Rose Cottage, Claire has undertaken major renovation works at the property. Among other works, Claire has raised the height of the ceiling in the main bedroom in order to show off the original timber beams. The entire cottage has been redecorated throughout and Claire curated a Jack and Jill style bathroom upstairs to create a better sense of space. The floor has been upgraded in the kitchen and garden room, and the height above the Aga has been raised. Claire converted a pair of outbuildings into a high-spec home office and utility room. She's also shifted the paddock so its alongside the garden and built stabling for two horses. On the renovation process, Claire said: 'It's been an ongoing process since we moved in. I knew what I wanted to do initially, but then living in the cottage over the past 13 years, we've evolved together. 'There have been moments of inspiration that have led to small changes, then grander plans like converting the old office that were a few years in the making. 'Then the nuances of maintaining and preserving a period property play a part too - for example, I'd been longing to have the driveway updated but had to wait until the thatch was due to be re-done first.' What a setting: The thatched roof of Rose Cottage has been redone recently The gardens at Rose Cottage, which is just a 10 minute drive from Basingstoke, are exceptional, but Claire has a little help getting them in shape. She said: 'I have some help in the garden. Steve keeps the lawns and hedges so beautiful and takes great pride in them. Emily is my expert gardener, her knowledge and practical skills keep the beds and formal areas bursting with colour and life.' Thirteen years after moving in, Claire's now ready to make her next move and spruce up another property. Claire told This is Money: 'We'll be very sad to leave Rose Cottage, it's such a special place. 'We're selling as we've reached that point where we're ready for a new adventure and to scale down a bit. 'I'm from North Devon originally and a part of me has always wanted to move back, or settle near the sea.' She added: 'Seeing the first tulips bloom at Rose Cottage and hearing the swallows come back to nest for the summer never fails to lift my spirits. I'll miss all of it tremendously.' The home is on the market via Knight Frank, with an asking price of £1.895million.

House prices flat in June, says Halifax: What will happen to values in the rest of 2025?
House prices remained almost flat last month, according to latest figures from Halifax. The mortgage lender revealed the average property price is now £296,665 compared to £296,782 last month. This follows from a 0.4 per cent fall recorded in May when the typical home value dropped £1,150 on average. However, despite the recent blip, Halifax says the average house price is still 2.5 per cent higher than this time last year. 'The market's resilience continues to stand out,' said Amanda Bryden, head of mortgages at Halifax. 'After a brief slowdown following the spring stamp duty changes, mortgage approvals and property transactions have both picked up, with more buyers returning to the market. 'That's being helped by a few key factors: wages are still rising, which is easing some of the pressure on affordability, and interest rates have stabilised in recent months, giving people more confidence to plan ahead. 'Lenders have also responded to new regulatory guidance by taking a more flexible approach to affordability assessments.' Almost flat: The average property price is now £296,665 compared to £296,782 last month Where are house prices rising the most and least? As has been the story for a while now, there are considerable regional disparities when it comes to house prices. The property market in the South West and London are particularly slow, according to Halifax. Annually, prices in the South West are up 0.5 per cent while in the capital they have risen 0.6 per cent. Among the English regions, the North West has seen the highest house price growth, up 4.4 per cent over the last year. Northern Ireland continues to record the biggest jumps, up by 9.6 per cent over the past year. The typical home now costs £212,189. Property prices in Scotland are up 4.9 per cent with average prices now at £214,891, while prices in Wales were up 3.9 per cent to an average of £229,622. Nicholas Finn, managing director of buying agents Garrington Property Finders says in many areas in the south of England the number of homes coming onto the market far exceeds the number of potential buyers. 'This is keeping price rises to a minimum, or even pushing prices down,' said Finn. 'In some areas the glut of supply is so acute that estate agents are refusing to list homes where they feel the owner is asking for an unrealistic price. 'The imbalance is greatest in southern England, but is no longer just limited to the capital and its commuter belt. 'Halifax's data shows that the slowest rate of price growth is now in the South West - a reflection of the large numbers of second homes and holiday let properties being sold by their disenchanted owners. 'The net effect has been to turn the south into a buyer's market - in which buyers can ask for, and with the right seller, get a significant reduction in asking price.' What next for house prices? Halifax is expecting some house price growth in the second half of the year, not least because of lower mortgage rates. 'With markets pricing in two more rate cuts from the Bank of England by year end, and the average rate on newly drawn mortgages now at its lowest since 2023, we continue to expect modest house price growth in the second half of the year,' said Halifax's Amanda Bryden. Tom Bill, head of residential research at Knight Frank warned that asking prices need to reflect the fact it is very much a buyer's market. 'House prices may have held steady, but high supply and weak demand suggest this is not the start of a rebound,' said Bill. 'New listings were 9 per cent higher than last year between January and June but new prospective buyers were down by 8 per cent. 'Supply is higher following the stamp duty cliff edge in March and as more landlords sell, but consumer confidence remains weak after economic activity was pulled forward into the first quarter of the year.' Jeremy Leaf, a north London estate agent, also says that any house price momentum from lower interest rates is likely to be countered by fear of further tax rises in the autumn. He said: 'Optimism with regard to further rate cuts this year has been partly offset by worries of tax increases in the autumn. 'The net result is slower, longer transactions and softening prices so sellers, particularly of higher-value homes, need to recognise market sensitivities if they want to stand out from the crowd.'
