I tested Fab lolly dupes from Aldi, Asda and Iceland – the winner is cheapest and tastes identical to the big brand
PARENTS up and down the country will be stocking up their freezers with treats guaranteed to keep their kids happy on a hot summers' day. The Fab's a winner in many households but as the cost of living rises, a box of six will now set you back around £2.50. 5 Their popularity has prompted a few supermarkets to create their own dupes. But do they taste as good as the childhood favourite? Lynsey Hope finds out. Nestle Fab Strawberry Ice Lollies £2.50 for 6 41.6p each Per lolly: 75 calories, 2.5g fat, 10g sugar A real bit of nostalgia here - these lollies were just as good as I remember from childhood. I did wonder if the chocolate coating had been reduced - I certainly remember them having more chocolate and sprinkles. But the pink and white sections tasted fresher and fruitier than some of the dupes. I particularly liked the strawberry flavour and at just 75 calories per lolly, they're not too indulgent to give the kids as a treat. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 8/10 Iceland Sprinkle Lollies £1.45 for 6 24.1p each Per lolly: 51 calories, 1g fat, 9.4g sugar 5 Smaller than the real deal, but taste wise the Iceland ones were a pretty good copy of the original Fab. The strawberry and vanilla flavoured parts tasted almost identical. There was a decent amount of chocolate and sprinkles on top. The kids loved them. They are also lower in calories, fat and sugar than the branded Fabs so a healthier option for children too. You'd be mad not to buy these instead. Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Total score: 10/10 Aldi Gianna's Ice Blitz £1.45 for 6 24.1p each Per lolly: 51 calories, 1g fat, 9.4g sugar 5 Identical in size and price to Iceland's lollies, you'd have a hard job telling them apart. But taste wise they were a little less fruity than both the Fab and the other dupes, especially the strawberry part of the lolly. They are shorter, but thicker than the branded lolly. However, Aldi's lollies were lower in calories, fat and sugar and the best bit - they are 17.5p cheaper per lolly than the Fabs. Taste: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Total score: 7/10 Asda Strawberry Sprinkle Lollies £1.90 for 6 31.6p each Per lolly: 65 calories, less than 0.5g fat, 14g sugar Asda's budget-friendly lollies had a fresh strawberry taste and lashings of chocolate and sprinkles on top. They are still a little smaller than the Fab with a sweeter taste, but they went down a treat with my children. Whilst they are not as cheap as Iceland and Aldi's lollies, at 31.6p a lolly, they still offer a good saving on the branded options. In fact, they are 10p cheaper per lolly and 60p cheaper per box. I'd buy these again. Taste: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Total score: 9/10 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.

The 50p hack to stop sweaty shoes stinking up a storm during a heatwave, and you've already got some in the cupboard
THEY'RE commonly found in thousands of houses. And if you're one of the people struggling with stinky shoes, they'll undoubtedly be even more smelly in the heat - as sweat and moisture increases. 2 2 But there's a clever hack you can try to stop the disgusting stench - it'll cost you just 50p and you're guaranteed to already have some in the kitchen cupboard. 'Uncooked rice is a natural desiccant, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air, and in this case, from inside your shoes,' footwear expert Julian Nelson explained. For even more successful results, you can add bicarbonate of soda and salt - as "the bicarb neutralises smells, while salt helps kill off bacteria". While some might try and pop their shoes in the washing machine to get rid of the smell, it's not a good idea, A Fine Pair of Shoes founder Julian added. "Washing shoes in a machine can ruin the structure and glue, especially in heat, but this is a dry solution that actually works," he said. The rice hack is also gentle on footwear and reusable - meaning it's ideal for school shoes or leather work shoes. And the clever trick is already doing the rounds online, and receiving rave reviews from those who have tried it. 'Fill a couple of clean socks with rice, salt and baking soda," one person wrote on Reddit's Life Hacks thread. "Put them in smelly or damp shoes and by morning, they'll be dry and clean-smelling. "Great for kids, easy to use." Fashionistas have declared the 'chic girl shoes of the summer' - and you can pick them up for as little as 90p in Primark While another added on Mumsnet: "I just today attempted 'natural odour absorbers' made out of old, odd socks with uncooked rice and bicarb, plus a few drops of essential oils. "Tie the end in a knot and voila. "I've put some inside shoes which are the pongiest… so far it smells nicer!" And someone else asked on Facebook how to clean shoes that "smell like death" - to which another replied: "Pack socks full of rice, sew them shut and stick one into each shoe. "The rice absorbs the moisture." 'It's simple, affordable and surprisingly effective, and in this week's heat, it's the best way to keep shoes fresh without resorting to harsh chemicals," Julian added.
