Credit: Mimi Kelly One customer expressed her surprise after noticing her local Aldi store in Gosport, Hampshire has a bakery section. "I was quite shocked today when I saw my local Aldi now has a bakery!," she posted in the popular Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook group. "I had no idea this was going to happen! "Has anyone else noticed any bakeries open in their Aldi's? Perhaps I'm just late to the party," she added. The post attracted hundreds of comments from fans of the retailer, with many hoping their local store would be the next to get a bakery. Other shoppers who have visited the bakeries also chimed in, with one writing: "We have the bakery in our local Southend-on-Sea Aldi too! The pastries are AMAZING." Money News Today Some shoppers said it reminded them of Lidl, which is well known for its in-store fresh bakeries. Lidl is famous for its bakery treats and is known to have counters in its stores since 2013. "Hope they all end up with one, always loved Lidl's bakery," one said. Another wrote: "I hope so! I'd love that as it's what I like about Lidl." It comes as Aldi is planning a major expansion across the UK, seeking to expand in 115 "prime" locations including in London, Manchester, the south west, Scotland and Wales. Some areas are even getting more than one location, with Aldi planning to open two stores in Wolverhampton and Sheffield. In Leicester, the supermarket chain is looking to open a staggering four stores. Other supermarket bakery updates Lidl recently introduced a new summer-inspired item to its famous in-store bakery that shoppers went wild for. The Strawberries and Cream blondie comes with a classic vanilla and butter Blondie base and is topped with white frosting. Meanwhile, it was revealed earlier this year that Tesco was cutting roles in its bakery team, as the brand looks to pivot from having staff bake goods inside the supermarket. The retailer said in January that it would cut 400 roles across its stores and head office, with bakery staff being the most impacted. However, the the supermarket chain said there would be no change to its bakery range and customers will still be able to access all of the usual baked goods including its Finest range. In January, Sainsbury's axed all its remaining patisserie, bakery, rotisserie and pizza counters in its bigger branches. It means shoppers will still be able to get hold of bakery items like Hovis bread and Mr Kipling cakes, while self-service bread slicing machines will be introduced.

Wimbledon 2025 drink prices revealed - what you'll be paying
There's nothing better than sitting in the sun, courtside, or perhaps on the hill watching the tennis with an ice-cold beverage. Or perhaps the traditional Wimbledon snack of strawberries and cream is more to your liking. Whatever it is that takes your fancy, here is what you'll have to pay for your favourite beverage or snack at Wimbledon 2025. The gates are officially open 🤩#Wimbledon Drinks prices during Wimbledon 2025, according to the website, are as follows: Pints of beer and cider (including the likes of Stella Artois and Camden Pale Ale) at Wimbledon 2025 have increased by 35p since last year. While the price of bottled beer (and cider) is up 30p compared to Wimbledon 2024. Pimms is always a popular go-to drink at Wimbledon, but punters will have to fork out an extra 30p for a reusable glass in 2025, with prices rising from £11.95 to £12.25. If you are looking to treat yourself with a bottle of champagne, the most expensive bottle will set you back £100.90. Gin and tonic prices have also increased this year, with the tipple costing £11.05 in 2025, up £1.25 from 2024 (£9.80). Other spirits (house), with a mixer, at Wimbledon last year cost fans £7.50, but in 2025 they will be forced to fork out £7.85 (an increase of 35p).

I tested strawberries & cream ice cream… delicious £2.50 winner had juicy fruit & ingredient that gives it extra boost
The cost of Wimbledon's famous treat has risen by 20p this year STRAWBERRIES & DREAM I tested strawberries & cream ice cream… delicious £2.50 winner had juicy fruit & ingredient that gives it extra boost Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S game, set and match for Strawberries and Cream as Wimbledon gets under way once again in SW19. However the cost of Wimbo's famous treat has risen by 20p this year – the first price increase since 2010. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Laura Stott tucks in to tell us which frozen treats aced it and gives them all a score out of five Credit: Damien McFadden Tucking into the classic dessert will now set you back £2.70 a portion, with the venue set to sell 140,000 punnets throughout the two-week tournament. But if you can't attend courtside, tuck into the flavour at home with a tub of Strawberries and Cream ice cream, which should hit the spot while tuning in to watch the action on the telly. And luckily there are plenty of affordable options in the supermarket freezer aisles. Here LAURA STOTT tucks in to tell us which frozen treats aced it and gives them all a score out of five. Gelatelli Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream, 900ml £1.99, Lidl 8 Lidl's offering is packed full of strawberry taste Credit: Damien McFadden YOU get loads of fruity flavour on your spoon with this frozen treat from Lidl, which is packed with the taste of the summer fruit. With 18.5 per cent strawberry puree, along with a lovely pink ice cream, it fills your mouth with summery berry flavours and there's loads of yummy sauce in each spoonful. I enjoyed the white choccie flakes, which provide some creamy hits on your tastebuds, but the actual ice cream itself was not particularly rich. On the plus side, however, it was smooth and enjoyable with a light texture that was softer than some others, so if you prefer your puds on the airier side it will slip down a treat. Wimbledon's Berry Delight Very tasty and well priced, a bowl that should keep everybody happy as a summer snack or as a pud. Rating: 4/5 Strawberry and Cream Ice Cream, 900ml £2.50, Morrisons 8 Morrison's ice cream has a rich, smooth and velvety quality Credit: Damien McFadden WELL priced for what you get, this is a 'proper' substantial and dense ice cream from the freezer aisle that tastes as though it came straight from the dairy. Probably the creamiest scoop of the lot, this is a quality freeze with a rich, smooth and velvet quality, which most closely resembles the real thing. Made with five per cent strawberry puree, it hits the sweet spot, giving you the taste of the fruit, although the amount is lower and not as generous as some others. Yet the inclusion of double cream gives this tub a decadent depth you won't find in all puds. While choccie curls on top add interest, this offering is really all about the excellent ice cream itself. Very nice indeed – and its firmer hold means it would also be great with a drink or two. The only downside was a slightly odd aftertaste. Rating: 4/5 Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream, 900ml £2.65, Sainsbury's 8 Sainsbury's offering contains meringue pieces for some welcome crunch Credit: Damien McFadden THIS baby pink-hued frozen pudding was slightly different in appearance to many of the others I tried. It had more of a soft pink-coloured selection of swirls and topping. As well as its strawberry swirls and fruity sauce, this dessert also offers meringue pieces for some welcome crunch, which I really enjoyed. Despite its mellow appearance this tub actually packed some proper flavour, with a lovely rich taste that really was reminiscent of pouring proper cream on top of a punnet of strawbs. I'll admit that I wasn't expecting a top taste, mostly based on the slightly insipid rose and marshmallow colour palette, but this dessert proved me wrong. I'd happily spoon into this while watching all the tennis action on telly, and it's a great price for what it delivers, too. Rating: 5/5 Gianni's Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream Swirl, 900ml £1.95, Aldi 8 Aldi's should be eaten from a bowl or straight from the tub as it's too soft for cones Credit: Damien McFadden THIS certainly looks the part and it's a very attractive product. With bright pink strawberry syrup swirled all over and a mountainous, peaked, whippy-style top, it looks rather like a giant cone that you would get from an ice-cream van. There are also large white choccie curls on top and the extras make this look like a real treat – it will make you want to tuck in. This has quite a soft texture for a frozen pudding and I did find that it melted rather quickly, but the flavour was pleasant. It's sweet, which isn't really surprising considering all the fruity sauce on top, but it's still enjoyable. Eat from a bowl or straight from the tub as it's too soft for cones. Great for all the family and very well priced, too. Rating: 3/5 Strawberry and Cream Ice Cream, 900ml £2.65, Tesco 8 Tesco's is a bit pricey for what you get Credit: Damien McFadden THIS looked very similar to Aldi's tub and it is the same size but it was almost a pound more expensive which was rather surprising for an own-brand ice cream. Made with 12 per cent strawberry sauce and two per cent white choccie curls, there's no shortage of syrupy toppings in this tub, so you get a nice mix of textures when you serve it up, and the fruity flavour is decent too. The cream taste is not quite as noticeable, in part because the strawberry is rather dominant, but if you get a good mix on your spoon it still tastes fairly balanced and slips down nicely enough. I'm not sure how reminiscent it is of a bowl of the real thing, and it was a bit artificial tasting, but it's an agreeable enough frozen pud, even if it is a bit pricey for what you get. Rating: 3/5 Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream, 900ml £2.50, Iceland 8 Iceland's ice cream is hard to stop eating it once you dig your spoon in Credit: Damien McFadden IT might not be the cheapest tub on the block but Iceland's berries and cream-flavoured chilly pud really delivers the wow factor. Absolutely swimming in strawberry sauce, you get 14 per cent of the red syrup here – one of the highest concentrations among the tubs I tried. It's noticeable how much more 'berry juice' there is, meaning everyone will get plenty when you are scooping it out into bowls. Not only is it really tasty and glossy-looking, the sauce doesn't go gloopy. An additional four per cent strawberry puree amplifies the taste further and if that wasn't enough there are tons of crunchy meringue pieces, too. Really delicious, I'll forgive it being on the softer side. It's hard to stop eating it once you dig your spoon in. Rating: 5/5 Strawberry Sorbet and Cream Ice Cream, 900ml £1.98 Asda 8 Asda's tub almost looks too lovely to spoil by sticking your spoon into it Credit: Damien McFadden PRETTY in pink, this tub of ice cream almost looks too lovely to spoil by sticking your spoon into it. The strawberry sorbet flavour accounts for the extra sweetness but it's nicely countered by 12 per cent of strawberry puree, which is generous enough for this dessert to deliver on the taste it promises. This had quite a light and thin texture which wasn't akin to a traditional ice cream, but was more like a soft whippy cone. Overall that made this a bit unsatisfactory, as it did melt quickly and the flavours seemed to lack substance. For strawberry and cream flavours, you would be better off with a portion of the real thing, but this should keep the kids happy as a summery pud. One to keep in the freezer for hot weather treats in the garden. Rating: 2/5 Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Lidl launches brand new bakery menu item that shoppers are going mad for
And Lidl is not the only supermarket hopping on the Strawberries and Cream trend STAR BAKER Lidl launches brand new bakery menu item that shoppers are going mad for Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIDL has launched a new bakery item and shoppers are going wild. The German discounter's Strawberries & Cream Blondie is now available in stores for 89p per slice. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Lidl treat has returned to the supermarket shelves The treat comes with a classic vanilla and butter Blondie base and is topped with white frosting. Shoppers were stunned to see the item on shelves, with one saying they "need it". Another fan simply commented "oh my days" after spotting the item back again. While a third said they just tried the delight and it tasted "amazing". And another eager customer said: "Take my money." But others weren't so impressed with the snack, with one shopper saying it looked like "lard". The product is new to Lidl stores, but some shoppers may have confused it with it's Eton Mess Blondie. The former treat, which was topped with meringue pieces, was sold seasonally last summer and is no longer available in stores. If you are keen to try Lidl's snack you will need to head to one its 980 stores across the UK. That is because the bargain supermarket does not offer home delivery on any of its products, including food. You can find your nearest Lidl by visiting, Shoppers race to M&S as one of their best selling items which is a mum-essential viral are scanning for just 63 PENCE Strawberries and cream appears to be a popular flavour this summer, with M&S also launching a similar flavour snack. The posh grocer has taken inspiration from a viral Japanese trend and launched the Red Diamond Strawberry & Crème Sandwich. The £2.80 luxury sandwich comes packed with strawberries and a whipped cream cheese filling, all hugged between slices of sweet bread. M&S said: 'With our exclusive Red Diamond Strawberries at their juiciest best, the time has finally come to create the ultimate strawberries and crème experience.' M&S reckons it's perfect for everything from alfresco lunches, Wimbledon snacking, afternoon tea, or even just a sweet pick-me-up. How can I save money when shopping at Lidl? Lidl reduces items at the start of the day and the best deals can be found between 7am to 8am, when most stores open. Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more. Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also has its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain boozees. Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl" – it's here where you'll find a load of random stuff that you didn't realise you needed, at decent prices. But if you are hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the "Middle of Lidl" on the supermarket's website in advance. The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday.
