The face is massive too." Another said: "Lovely looking watch but had to return as not working." A third said: "Not at all worth the original price. The quality is not adequate for sale price, too."

The 55p supermarket iced coffee that's better than a Starbucks carton
Check how to cut costs at the supermarket CAFFEINE KICK The 55p supermarket iced coffee that's better than a Starbucks carton Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOTHING tastes better on the early commute or school run than a refreshing iced coffee on a rushed summer morning. No wonder iced coffee sales have shot up 22% in the UK over the last five years, according to trend-watcher Innova 360. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Lucy Tobin has tested iced coffees on sale in supermarkets Credit: Peter Jordan The cheapest way to make them is, of course, to do it yourself at home. But if you love the luxury treat of a barista brew, there's an easy way to replicate it for less. Just pick up a canned iced latte for as little as 55p from your local coffee shop or supermarket. That's an absolute bargain compared to high street options: Starbucks is currently selling its venti iced latte for over £5 in London stores. Below I put iced coffee to-go to the test, pitting big brand names like Starbucks and Nescafé against budget rivals from the supermarkets. Emmi Caffè Latte Cappuccino Iced Coffee 230ml £1.85 from Sainsbury's 8 Emmi's iced cappuccino is the perfect drink for those who want a refreshing morning caffeine hit Credit: Louis Wood This might just be the perfect cool drink for people who don't like the bitterness of coffee but want a refreshing morning caffeine hit. Emmi Caffè has a milky taste, chocolate overtones, a creamy texture, and slips down very smoothly. It's sweetly delicious - low-fat cocoa powder is one of the ingredients and, at 145kcal, it might not be a dieter's choice. The only other downside is that this coffee comes in a plastic cup rather than a can, where the cup's rim was a bit sharp when drinking straight from it. Worth it, though, for one of the tastiest brews we tried. 4/5 Ueshima Iced Latte 250ml £2 from Ocado 8 Enjoy a premium drink from the canned coffee investors Credit: Peter Jordan This is a premium drink from the Japanese inventors of canned coffee. The story goes that Mr Ueshima bought a coffee at a train station in the 1960s, but had to leave it behind to catch his train - so spent a year working on canned coffee and started selling it in 1969. This one tastes like it's been improved over decades, with a rich and refreshing taste. Being only 75kcal in the can, one of the lowest-calorie canned coffee drinks, it doesn't taste as sweet as some others - anyone who likes a traditional coffee over ice will enjoy this one. At £2, though, it's not far off the cost of a coffee shop treat and wasn't distinctive enough for the price to seem worthwhile. 3/5 Jimmy's Iced Coffee Original 275ml £2.10 from Tesco 8 Use this bottle for water once you'ved finished your coffee Credit: Peter Jordan This is a super refreshing choice, and comes in a classy and recyclable silver-coloured bottle which we found perfect for refilling with water later on. The coffee is the perfect consistency: not too thick or runny, and full of flavour without being overly sweet. It's just over 100kcal per bottle, despite containing more coffee than the other products thanks to its larger bottle size. Jimmy's comes in a range of flavours, from gimmicky "iced coffee donut" flavour to the usual mocha, caramel and extra-protein options. You can buy Jimmy's in slightly smaller 250ml cans, starting at £1/25 at Iceland. 4/5 Starbucks Caffè Latte Iced Coffee 220ml £2.20 from Tesco 8 It's clear Starbucks has spent a lot of thought on its iced latte Credit: Peter Jordan As you'd expect from one of the kings of high street coffee, Starbucks has put a lot of thought into its iced latte. It came in the easiest to drink packaging: a cup with a recyclable lid and straw which is perfect to sip on the go. The Starbucks latte - espresso plus creamy milk - is a flavoursome brew, sweeter than others and very moreish. But the calorie content showed the sweetness too, coming in at a hefty 165kcal per cup. Price-wise, I'd avoid it for £2.20. 3/5 M&S classic latte 250ml £2 8 The overriding flavour of the M&S coffee is creaminess Credit: Peter Jordan There's a double shot of espresso and semi-skimmed milk in this generous-sized can. It's not too sweet, but it also doesn't have a particularly strong coffee flavour: the overriding flavour is creaminess. Despite that, there's only 100kcal in each 250ml can, and it was a refreshing caffeine hit: I definitely felt extra alert after this double shot of espresso. Anyone who likes their coffee to taste like milk with a dash of Arabica will love this can - but hard-core bean fans may find it too creamy. 3/5 Nescafé Iced Coffee Latte 750ml £3 (£2.50 on Tesco Clubcard deal) 8 Nescafe's iced coffee comes in a bigger bottle Credit: Peter Jordan This is a larger bottle, perfect for keeping in the fridge at home. The bulk discount means it works out at a cheap 83p per 250ml portion - but it's too big to cart around so minus points for the convenience factor. As it has UHT milk inside, though, it doesn't need to be stored in the fridge until after it's opened. Nescafé's latte tastes like a sweeter drink than Ueshima and Jimmy's- it comes in at 93kcal per 250ml portion - but lacks the chocolatey taste of some others. It's a mild, creamy latte that's a good value option if you like to have an iced coffee to grab at home, but I prefer the convenience of cans and cups to multitask as an on-the-go refreshing treat. 3/5 Lidl Latte Macchiato 250ml 55p 8 Lidl's 55p was crowned a joint winner Credit: Peter Jordan The cheapest iced coffee by miles - and it tastes great too. Lidl's latte has a mild coffee taste, with a creamy, slightly thicker texture - which might be why it packs a stonking 200kcal in per portion. The packaging is a bit of a drawback, too: it has a thin foil covering the plastic cup at the top. I'd be too nervous to chuck this iced latte into my bag as any jostling during the commute would see it burst, unlike Starbucks' cup design which has a plastic lid for security. Other can designs are more robust too. Still, overall this macchiato slips down really easily and is a refreshing, sweet coffee that tastes even better when you know how much of a bargain it is. 4/5

Labour's next hit to independent schools could be far more insidious
Is Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson about to launch her latest onslaught on independent schools? Over the last year Labour has already imposed 20pc VAT on school fees and scrapped mandatory business rate relief for schools with charitable status, vindictively treating them differently from all other charities. Those two measures were unambiguous, public attacks on private education. What might now follow is rather more subtle, but all the more insidious. Phillipson has announced the Government is considering scrapping Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP) for children with special educational needs (SEN), and planning to replace them with a less onerous and cheaper system. This may sound like good news to anyone who rightly thinks that public spending is out of control. Nearly 483,000 children, or 5.3pc of the school population, had an EHCP in the 2024-25 school year, according to government figures – an increase of 11pc on the previous year and a doubling since 2016. The numbers are clearly unsustainable. But might Phillipson's conversion to sound public finances be motivated by another factor? EHCPs are an essential part of why the state pays, either in whole or in part, for some children to go to independent schools. Local authorities are obliged to provide schooling to children living within its boundaries. But what if it is unable to provide adequate education to a given child due to their specific needs? This may be due to the fact that the child would not be able to cope with larger class sizes, or it might be because their dyslexia is at such a level that the local school is not set up to deal with it. More often than not, the local authority will do all in its power to avoid paying up for the independent school which can provide an adequate education suitable for that child. In 2024, less than half of EHCPs were issued by local authorities within the 20-week time limit required by law, according to the Department for Education. Many parents have to appeal the initial decision to the national SEN tribunal to try and achieve a satisfactory outcome. But some parents do eventually succeed in getting their local authority to pay for private provision. This school year there were 7,200 children with an EHCP attending mainstream independent schools, with more than 20,000 at specialist independent schools. When the Government imposed VAT on school fees the only category that remained exempted were local authorities paying fees for children with an EHCP. If these plans no longer exist, how will it be decided whether a local authority is obliged to pay for private provision? And what mechanism of appeal will there be? Will local authorities continue to pay for the education of children with existing EHCPs? These are questions that may be worrying many parents this weekend. It is also of concern to the schools themselves. For the independent mainstream schools, local authority-funded places for children with an EHCP will only be a very modest proportion of their total intake. But for specialist schools it is a different story. At one school in London, which is a world leader for children with dyslexia, around 60pc of pupils have their school fees paid for by their local authority. Paying for independent schooling is undoubtedly a heavy burden, but it is not the fault of parents that a local authority is unable to provide an adequate education for their child within its own schools. A move from Phillipson could turn out to be akin to what Michael Gove did as education secretary, when he increased the required employer contributions for teachers' pensions. Historically, most independent schools have been part of the state's pay-as-you-go, unfunded Teachers' Pension Scheme. In 2012, the employer contribution to the pension scheme was 14.1pc; this year it has reached double that at 28.68pc. Those who support sound public finances and are appalled by unaffordable public sector pensions may have been tempted to applaud that move. But in truth the measure has amounted to a levy on independent schools. Those in the state sector have had their funding increase commensurately – and in any case employer pension contributions for public sector employees in a pay-as-you-go scheme are only a matter of churning government funds. Gove's move is a major part of the reason for that fees at independent schools soared even before Labour imposed VAT, as the increased pension costs have been passed on to parents. As a result, middle-class parents have increasingly found themselves priced out of them. Whether the extra funding for the pension scheme is a saving to the state at all is debatable, if it pushed parents out of choosing an independent education. We do not have the details of what Phillipson may be planning to replace EHCPs with. But whatever Labour introduces, it is unlikely to be favourable to the private sector. As well as being a world leader in private education generally, some of the UK's specialist independent schools are also at the very pinnacle of what can be done for children with special needs. EHCP reform must not imperil these centres of excellence and damage the future prospects of thousands of children.
