Sainsbury's sweets compared to 00s favourite Bursting Bugs
Rowntree's Bursting Bugs were first introduced in 2000 and were shaped like bugs with a gummy shell and deliciously gooey filling. They formed part of Rowntree's iconic range on supermarket shelves, including Jelly Tots and Fruit Pastilles. Bursting Bugs disappeared just a few years after they were released, in around 2003, reportedly due to low sales at the time. However, if you were a 90s kid, there's a chance the gooey sweets still hold a special place in your heart. In recent years, fans have expressed their disappointment at Bursting Bugs not being around still on social media, and even a petition was started to bring them back. Now, Sainsbury's shoppers seem to think they have found a dupe for the iconic candy. Sainsbury's own brand range of sweets has many favourites, including its Sparkles and Liquorice Bites. And now there's Bugs & Beetles. In a distinctive green packaging, above the shape of a beetle reads the words 'Juicy & Oozy'. They cost 75p. Fans were quick to take to social media, posting in foodie group Newfoodsuk, that they may have found the modern-day version of Bursting Bugs. 'Could they be as good as bursting bugs?' one post read. While a person commented: 'I tried some yesterday, they're so good! I remember Bursting Bugs well and I think these are the closest thing I've found so far.'

While another added: 'OMG we need some of these – they look like the old squirty bugs Rowntree's made.' One person even tagged Rowntree's in the post, writing: '@Rowntree's Bring back Bursting Bugs! Look at how many people want them back! They were elite.'

How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
