Tesco has best prawn cocktail crisps according to shoppers
Shoppers were so enraged by the decision, the supermarket giant decided to reverse its decision, announcing the popular crisps would be returning to stores later this year.
While Aldi's prawn cocktail crisps have been described as "addictive", shoppers believe Tesco lays claim to having "the best".
Brits on Reddit have said Tesco's Finest Prawn Marie Rose Hand Cooked Crisps are the best in the UK, labelling them "top tier".

Tesco shoppers say 'why have you stopped it?' as supermarket axes Clubcard deal
Tesco has axed a popular Clubcard deal on its own-brand canned fizzed drinks - leaving shoppers furious. The supermarket used to offer a six for £1.80 deal on certain cans of its fizzy drinks. Some of the flavours included in the deal were Orange Zero, Diet Lemonade, Lemon and Lime Zero, Cream Soda and Ginger Beer. Each can normally costs 55p, which means you saved £1.50 thanks to the offer. However, the promotion was pulled shortly before the UK was hit with heatwave conditions and temperatures hit 34C, according to The Sun. One annoyed Tesco shopper posted on X: "Why have you stopped your Clubcard offer on mixed cans of your own brand soft drinks - 6 for £1.50? "I have used this offer for months as I find the flavour is very good, especially the ginger beer which I think is as good as any other make."

Another customer said in a review on the Tesco website: "Very disappointed now Tesco stopped selling it in my local store, had to buy on line [sic] and now charging 55p a can no longer on the multi deal." The Mirror has contacted Tesco for comment. It comes after the supermarket announced it is launching an online store just for its clothing brand F&F. Shoppers can currently browse some of the range online, but you can't actually place an order or buy any of the items. Tesco shoppers used to be able to buy F&F clothing through its non-food Tesco Direct website, but this was shut down in 2018. The collection was also available to buy online through Next - but the retailer stopped selling F&F in January 2024. The supermarket teased the launch of a new website in its latest financial results, where it said "launch of F&F clothing is scheduled to go live for customers in the year ahead". Tesco launched its new Tesco Marketplace website earlier this year, which lists products for sale from third-party sellers. The website now stocks more than 300,000 products - up by more than 3,000% from when the website launched in June 2024. Orders are delivered separately from your grocery shop, with marketplace items incurring their own, separate delivery fees. However, you still earn Tesco Clubcard points on all purchases. All the sellers who use Tesco Marketplace are monitored on delivery speed, returns, and delivery success rates. At its launch, Tesco Marketplace director Peter Filcek told The Grocer it wants shoppers to have a "one-stop shop" for everything they need.

McDonald's fans fuming as fast food chain quietly puts menu prices up
McDonald's fans have been sharing their outrage online after spotting that the popular fast food chain has raised some of its prices recently. Customers took to Reddit to claim that Fries, Happy Meals and the Wrap of the Day deal all cost more in July than they had in previous months. But after taking a closer look at the menu, it seems these aren't the only items that have had a price hike. Chicken Nuggets, Big Macs and Wraps have all become a little more expensive, with noticeable changes to the Saver Menu as well. In 2023, a Double Cheeseburger cost just £1.99, but by the end of 2024, it was £2.29. In July 2025 on the McDonald's app it's gone up again to £2.49. Similarly, a Big Mac was £4.69 in June, but it's now £4.89 on the McDonald's app and £5.59 to order via Deliveroo. A nine-piece box of Chicken McNuggets cost £5.09 to order from McDonald's in June 2025, but in July the price has risen to £5.19 on the McDonald's app and £6.19 on Deliveroo. In terms of the Saver Menu, most items have become 10p more expensive, with Small Fries rising from £1.19 to £1.29, the Mayo Chicken going from £1.39 to £1.49 and the classic Hamburger now costing £1.29 instead of £1.19. A small Americano or White Coffee has risen from £1.39 to £1.49 and small soft drinks are £1.29 as opposed to the previous price of £1.19. The Mini Core McFlurry, like Smarties and Oreo have also gone up. They were £1.29 each, but according to the McDonald's app they're now £1.49. Another noticeable price change is on the Katsu Wrap, which launched at McDonald's UK in December 2024. At the end of 2024 and start of 2025 it was £3.49 as a single item and £5.29 as part of a meal, but it's now £3.79 on its own and £5.39 for a meal. And yes, the Wrap of the Day deal has also gotten pricier, changing from £1.99 earlier this year to £2.29 now. Taking to the r/McDonald'sUK sub on Reddit, fans of the chain claimed they were 'done' after seeing some of the new prices. A user known as u/HawaiiNintendo815 said: 'Chippy food is far better priced than McDonald's and you're getting way more food for just a bit more money.' And u/ThrowawaySunnyLane responded to the Wrap of the Day change, proclaiming: 'If that's nationwide, I'm done with Maccies, that was my last little pleasure with them.' Similarly, u/4kreso wasn't happy, writing: 'Damn we got two large Big Arch and two McFlurry as and was £32. Literally done with McDonald's now. There's no justification for these increases.' While u/mr_xcoii commented: 'First they took away Chili Double Cheeseburger & Triple Cheeseburger and now they increase every price, f**k McDonald's actually.' However, some users pointed out that the delivery price was always going to be higher when ordering fast food, with u/Virtual_Remote_8467 posting: 'That's the delivery price. You're going to pay more, as they have to pay the delivery companies commission on the orders.' While u/colawarsveteran was tired of people complaining, adding: 'Why keep moaning. Just stop buying!' A McDonald's spokesperson confirmed to Metro that prices had been reviewed recently and some had risen as a result. They said: 'We refuse to compromise on the quality of our ingredients – and that means when these ingredients cost more, we have to review our prices. More Trending 'Raising some prices means we are able to stand by our quality commitments, like our beef patties being made from 100% British and Irish beef or our Chicken McNuggets being made from 100% chicken breast. 'We know how much these mean to our customers. Providing value remains an absolute priority. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure that every customer has a value offering that works for them. This includes weekly app offers that sit alongside always on value offers like our incredibly popular Wrap of the Day, and of course, our Saver Menu.' This comes after McDonald's recently launched the brand new Double Filet-O-Fish, making a change to the iconic burger for the first time in 50 years.

Popular 138 year old bread maker that's sold in Morrisons, Tesco and Asda to axe 250 jobs
We've explained what your rights are if you're made redundant JOB CUTS Popular 138 year old bread maker that's sold in Morrisons, Tesco and Asda to axe 250 jobs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR 138 year old bakery is set to axe 250 jobs following two very difficult years. Roberts Bakers, which supplies products to major supermarkets like Asda, Morrisons, and Tesco, is set to slash its workforce at its factory in Cheshire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Roberts family has owned the business since it started in 1887 Credit: Alamy 2 Supermarkets sell the bakery's loaves for as little as £1.35 Credit: Roberts Bakery The decision follows two years of tough challenges, including a devastating fire in 2023 that severely disrupted operations. The bakery, which employs around 700 people, said it had lost two-thirds of its bread production capacity for over a year after the fire. Supermarkets sell the bakery's loaves for as little as £1.35. Despite efforts to recover, bread sales have not bounced back as expected, with customers turning to alternative suppliers during the downtime. The firm also cited wider pressures, including rising energy bills, higher ingredient costs, and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. Turnover has dropped sharply, falling from £96million in 2023 to £76million, despite the company reporting a pre-tax profit of £20 million this year. Roberts said it has no choice but to restructure its operations to secure the future of the business. A consultation period lasting at least 45 days will begin soon for affected staff at the Rudheath site. Employees at Roberts' other factories in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, and Winsford will not be impacted. The Roberts family has owned the business since it started in 1887. Major UK pub chain announces sweeping closures & job losses The Roberts family said the decision was "the hardest" in the bakery's 138-year history. The company said: "We've faced unprecedented challenges, including Covid-19, the war in Ukraine, and rising costs. "The fire was another blow, and rebuilding has been incredibly tough," the company said. "This step is necessary to safeguard the bakery's future." Local MP Andrew Cooper called the news "devastating" for the community. He told BBC News: "It's more than just a business, it's a local institution that generations have worked for, and taken pride in." "My thoughts are with every employee and their family at this very difficult time." Roberts Bakery's statement in full "Roberts Bakery first began serving its community of Northwich in 1887 and throughout these 138 years has been deeply rooted in that community. "As a family we have shared a strong set of values and have been immensely proud of our connection to the people we serve. "Our bread has been a part of daily life for many, making its way into homes across the UK and beyond through major supermarkets. "Today we are faced with serious challenges that mean, with sadness, we are today announcing a significant reorganisation of its operations. "This difficult but essential step, which includes redundancies, is being taken to secure the future employment and long-term sustainability of the bakery to ensure it can continue to serve the community. "Like many businesses, Roberts Bakery has faced severe challenges in recent years. We have navigated the global impact of Covid-19, the economic pressures from Russia's war in Ukraine, and the ongoing cost of living crisis, which we know has impacted families everywhere. "These factors have had a direct impact on our energy costs, ingredient prices, and the everyday budgets of our customers. "Adding to these difficulties, in 2023 a major fire at our bakery in Rudheath completely shut down a large part of our operations for a prolonged period of time. Getting back on our feet after the fire has been incredibly tough, requiring a huge effort from our team, which we are incredibly grateful for, tremendous support from the community and the understanding of our customers. "Despite our best efforts, the combined weight of these challenges has led us to make an incredibly difficult decision." Which other businesses are cutting jobs? Clarks has slashed 1,200 jobs in a bid to cut costs. Its sales dropped by nearly £100million last year, and the company lost £39.2million before tax. High costs from closing stores and property expenses have made things worse. Meanwhile, Nissan is getting rid of 250 jobs at its Sunderland factory. This comes after the car maker reported losing £4billion last year. Meanwhile, Pizza Hut is introducing digital ordering screens in all 136 of its dine-in restaurants. This change means 120 front-end staff will lose their jobs. The company employs 3,000 people across the UK and says the cuts are part of a plan to modernise its business.
