Aldi's brand new life hacks range features an array of handy devices which are perfect for cutting out extra stress from daily life.
Beginning at just £5.99, this new middle aisle range of products is hitting stores on Sunday, July 13.
But shoppers will need to hurry - as the devices have limited stock.
Notably, this includes an ingenious Robot Vacuum Cleaner which is on sale for less than a hundred quid.
The gadget cleans floors with its three-stage suction, sweeping and mop functions.
It even has an app-controlled system compatible with Google, Alexa, and Siri - meaning it can seamlessly assimilate into your phone's functions.
Selling at just £99.99, this will help keep things clean at home for people short on time to get the hoover out.
Pet owners will be delighted by the neat £5.99 Pet Auto Waterer and Pet Auto Feeder which keeps furry ones full and owners unbothered.
The devices have auto-gravity designs and non-slip rubber bases, which keeps the pet bowls full and means fewer refills for owners.
The range features other neat time-savers to streamline everyday chores, including a Mini Thermal Printer for just £9.99 which allows users to print photos and notes on the go.

Managing smart home devices just got easier, as the Smart Adapter, selling for £6.99 will help to keep these operating at peak performance levels.
There's also a nifty Fake Safe Assortment, also selling for £6.99 which will keep your valuables safe.
Ingeniously designed to appear as either a book pillar or a candle, any unwanted intruders would be fooled by the safe hiding in plain sight.
An Aldi spokesperson said: "Smart home gadget ownership continues to rise with 79% of Brits now owning at least one.
"So Aldi has announced a brand-new range hitting its middle aisle aimed at helping the UK lead a hassle-free life.
"These ingenious gadgets offer clever shortcuts to aid everything from stress-free mornings to spotless homes, with prices starting at just £5.99.
"Aldi's life hack heros will be in stores from 13th July, but shoppers best be quick, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone!"
Possibly the star of the show in the new specialbuys range is the brand new Smart Kettle for just £29.99, making it £70 cheaper than a similar model sold by John Lewis.
With a sleek stainless-steel finish, the kettle not only looks the part, but it's packed with clever features.
It can be controlled via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, letting you boil the kettle straight from your phone.
There's also a temperature display and an easy-touch screen so you can set the heat anywhere between 40°C and 100°C, depending on your drink of choice.
It even comes with a keep warm function, meaning no more running back to re-boil the kettle – something 48 per cent of Brits admit to doing after getting distracted.
The launch ties in with new Aldi research showing that tea remains the UK's top drink, with the average Brit drinking four cups a day.
That's 127 million cups brewed daily across the country.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

Aldi's new £10 gadget 'so handy' for making notes is 'life hack'
Shoppers say they 'need' the new product that could help make daily chores easier to complete It's no secret that most of us love a life hack to make our routines a bit easier, and Aldi's latest Specialbuys range is designed to do just that. The supermarket has launched a new "Life Hacks range" ideal for shoppers who want a quick fix for common problems. The new range, available in stores from July 13, includes household items, such as a robotic vacuum cleaner and a smart kettle. Aldi said: "These ingenious gadgets offer clever shortcuts to aid everything from stress-free mornings to spotless homes, with prices starting at just £5.99. "Aldi's life hack heroes will be in stores from 13th July, but shoppers best be quick, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone!" Options include a Wooden Wireless Charging Clock and Pet Auto Waterer. There's also a £9.99 item that has delighted shoppers on social media: the Mini Thermal Printer. Aldi said the printer helps shoppers "print photos and notes on the go." As such, it could simplify various tasks, from making a checklist for your weekly chores to planning a shopping list. Alternatively, you could use the printer for quick photos, just like Aldi did in a post showcased on its Instagram. In a photo shared on social media by @aldispecialbuysuk, the printer is seen in action, printing black and white photos of the supermarket and Kevin the Carrot. The caption read: "Don't mind Admin being sentimental and printing a few of our fave pics. Who needs to grab one of these for their photo wall? Mini Thermal Printer £9.99 in store now!" The post received thousands of views and wowed shoppers who reacted in the comment section. One excited commenter wrote: "I feel this is very needed so us!!" A fan echoed: "NEED." @aldispecialbuysuk replied: "It's so handy." Someone else commented: "Love that Kevin is there!" Other commenters said they'd struggled to find the printer in their local store. One response read: "Hi these look great - are they available at all stores? Our local never heard of them!!" @aldispecialbuysuk said: "Our Specialbuys are stocked in all our UK stores, while stock lasts." A second said: "Tried to find in my local one and they hadn't arrived," but a later comment added: "My hubby managed to get the last one in other aldi today." As such, shoppers will likely need to be quick if they're keen to get their hands on the camera or other items in the range, including the £29.99 Smart Kettle and the £99.99 Robot Vacuum Cleaner. Describing the Smart Kettle, Aldi said:" With a sleek stainless-steel, matte black finish, app-control over both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enables it to be switched on from the comfort of bed, while simple temperature control from 40 to 100 degrees Celsius means it is always just right. "Need a bit longer in bed? Just turn on the 'keep warm' function. Featuring an easy-to-use touch screen and simple temperature display, shoppers can enjoy peace of mind thanks to the automatic switch off safety feature."

Cognition AI to buy Windsurf, doubling down on AI-driven coding
July 14 (Reuters) - Artificial intelligence startup Cognition AI on Monday agreed to acquire Windsurf, an integrated development environment platform, strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving enterprise software market. The deal follows Google's $2.4 billion deal with Windsurf last week aimed at acquiring top talent and securing licensing rights to its technology. The deal with Google marks a win for Windsurf's backers, who have raised $243 million from investors including Kleiner Perkins, Greenoaks, and General Catalyst, and was last valued at $1.25 billion one year ago, according to PitchBook. The move reflects a broader trend among technology giants such as Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and Meta, which are making bold, high-value acquisitions and offering lucrative compensation packages to secure leading industry talent amid intensifying competition in the AI sector. The deal with Cognition covers Windsurf's intellectual property, product line, brand, and business operations, as well as its highly regarded engineering, product, and go-to-market teams. While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, Windsurf brings with it $82 million in annual recurring revenue and a customer base of more than 350 enterprises. "Among all the teams in the AI space, Cognition was literally the one we have respected the most, and they are a perfect fit to bring Windsurf to the next phase," Jeff Wang, Windsurf's interim chief executive officer, said in an email to employees. In the immediate term, Windsurf will continue to operate independently, with Cognition pledging significant investment to integrate Windsurf's technology and unique assets into its own product suite, including its flagship autonomous agent, Devin. Earlier, Windsurf had been engaged in months-long discussions with OpenAI regarding a potential acquisition that could have valued the company at $3 billion, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters in June.

The rare coin sold for £120 after an intense bidding war on eBay. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The 2009 Kew Gardens 50p coin recently sold for £120 at auction Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 2 It features the iconic Pagoda and celebrates the Botanical Gardens' Foundation's 250th anniversary Credit: Alamy Fifty pence pieces can often be worth much more than their face value. This particular valuable rarity is a 2009 Kew Gardens 50p. Earlier this week one of these coins sold for £120 on eBay after a bidding war, with 13 offers placed. Other postings for the same coin are currently listed at £177.52, and £161.92. The coin was designed by Christopher Le Brun in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Botanical Gardens' foundation. It had a very low mintage of just 210,000 copies, which means that it has since rocketed in value as it is the rarest of all 50p pieces. One side of the coin features Kew's iconic Great Pagoda. Its base is encircled with a vine while the word 'Kew' decorates the bottom. The dates 1759 and 2009 are inscribed, honouring the coin's 250th anniversary celebration. On the reverse, the fourth portrait of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II adorns the coin. Five 50ps that could earn you thousands Alongside the portrait the initials identify the engraver as Ian Rank-Broadley. To spot the coin among your collection, look out for the leafy design. Another limited edition 50p recently sold for £262. Dated to 2009, the design was the first of 29 officially licenced London 2012 Olympic coins to be released by The Royal Mint. The coin is the same size and weight as a 50p coin found in your change and measures 8g by 27g in diameter. The starting price was just £5 but six bidders fought it out, with one eventually submitting the winning bid on June 30. The coin's design was created by eight-year-old Florence Jackson from Bristol. How to sell a rare coin If you are lucky to find a rare coin among your spare change or have one at home, you can sell it through online marketplaces such as eBay. Simply take pictures of the coin, any certificates of authenticity you have and any packaging. You can also sell coins via auction, through the Royal Mint's Collector's Service. If you choose this option a team of experts will authenticate and value your coin. You will also receive advice on how to sell it.
