Tesco giving away free breakfasts in cafes on Sunday if you show staff one thing
Tesco giving away free breakfasts in cafes on Sunday if you show staff one thing For the fourth year in a row, the supermarket chain is doing something to mark a very special day for people up and down the country Supermarket giant Tesco is giving away free breakfasts at hundreds of its stores this Sunday. For the fourth year running, Armed Forces personnel and veterans will be able to claim their free breakfast in more than 300 stores to mark Armed Forces Day. The day itself is an annual event celebrated in late June to commemorate the service of men and women in the British Armed Forces. Originally called Veterans' Day, it was first observed in 2006. Although an official event, it is not a public holiday in the UK. The name was changed to Armed Forces Day in 2009. Tesco has confirmed that as a thank you for their service, approximately 180,000 serving Armed Forces personnel and nearly two million veterans in the UK can choose from The Breakfast, The Veggie Breakfast, The Vegan Breakfast or Sausage Bap to enjoy for free when they present their MOD90 or Veterans ID card at either The Café or The Coffee Shop in stores across the country on Sunday, June 29.

'Our Armed Forces make extraordinary sacrifices to keep us safe,' said Ashwin Prasad, Tesco UK CEO. 'As the largest private employer of veterans in the UK, we want to recognise those who serve, and have served, this Armed Forces Day. We hope this free breakfast will go a little way to show our gratitude for their service.' Sabrina Lungo, chair of the Armed Forces colleague network at Tesco, added: 'Armed Forces Day is an important opportunity to recognise our Armed Forces personnel and veterans, and we're happy to be offering them this small token of our appreciation for the fourth year running.

Rose plants to records: wedding gift ideas that won't break the bank
The days of all nearlyweds registering a gift list with a department store are firmly behind us. But if you don't fancy adding to a honeymoon fund, nor putting cash in a card, what should you give to the couple? Tesco recently launched a list for the very practical, but here are some more romantic ideas that won't break the bank. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. For green-fingered friends, pick a perennial that will flower every year around their anniversary, or just before, so they can have freshly cut flowers on the day. Try Rosa from Patch for summer weddings – it's a pink climbing rose and costs £18. You can add a decorative pot from a range costing £14 to £70. If the couple likes to collect pieces from a particular artist, show your attention to detail by picking one that they're missing. David Shrigley fans will see humour in his Foolish Hearts poster, for example. An unframed print costs €48 (£40.93) on A monogrammed or personalised memento could be a lovely gift. Cressida Jamieson sells handkerchiefs embroidered with names of your choice, or a version embroidered with your chosen message, both of which can be in your own handwriting (from £25 and from £35 respectively). Why not turn a skill into a one-of-a-kind gift? Pen a comic book of their love story so far, write a humorous poem, or a lovely letter on smart writing paper. You could handwrite one of the readings they've chosen for their ceremony, or hunt down an early edition of the work it came from and bookmark it with a note. John Atkinson Fine & Rare Books is a good place to start (from about £25). A vinyl copy of the music for their first dance is also a cute choice – go digging at somewhere such as Rough Trade. A scrapbook of messages and photos from your group of friends is a wonderful keepsake for the couple to revisit. Not on the High Street sells leather, plain page albums that you can personalise (from £39). Snappy Snaps offers printing from as little as 31p a picture. Many couples won't want more stuff, so donating money to a charity in their name is a good bet. Do they love their pooch? Plump for All Dogs Matter. Are they worried about the planet's future? Climate Coalition is a good option.

Cadbury shrinks size of iconic treat and parents fume over lunchbox
Despite the packets getting smaller, the price of the treat has definitely not been downsized Cadbury has shrunk the size of its one of it's most famous chocolate bars. Fudge multipacks have been shrunk with the chocolate giant blaming the cost of ingredients continues to bite. Parents have been left fuming - the packs previously contained 5 bars, not it will be 4, with one saying 'so we won't have enough for each day of the week in the lunchbox'. Despite the packets getting smaller, the price of the chocolatey treat has definitely not been downsized. At Morrisons, the five-bar packs still exist, with both sizes costing £1. Tesco is charging £1.40 for the smaller pack - or £1 with a Clubcard, while Asda has priced them at 98p. One shopper fumed in a scathing review on the Tesco website: 'Apparently these are no longer meant to go in kids lunchboxes any more because there are 5 days in the school week, not 4.' They added: 'The price hasn't changed though .' A second customer asked: 'When will it stop? Not a happy customer! Same goes for fudge bars.' And another said: 'Same price, fewer bars. Not good.' A spokesperson for Mondelez International, Cadbury's parent company, told Sky Money the decision had been made due to the 'difficult' economic environment. 'We understand the economic pressures that consumers continue to face and any changes to our product sizes is a last resort for our business,' they said. 'However, as a food producer, we are continuing to experience significantly higher input costs across our supply chain, with ingredients such as cocoa and dairy, which are widely used in our products, costing far more than they have done previously.' 'Meanwhile, other costs, like energy and transport, also remain high. This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges.'

Everything you need to know about Tesco F&F's 25% off summer sale
We've got all the details on when Tesco launches its F&F 25% off Clubcard deal, and senior shopping writer Faith has picked out the top pieces to buy with the discount Get your shopping baskets at the ready because Tesco has officially launched its highly-anticipated 25% off Clubcard sale – and it's a good one. As usual you can shop the brand's big bargains in Tesco stores, but now thanks to the official launch of F&F's online shopping you can also pick up your favourite pieces online and have them delivered straight to your door. The sale includes women's, mens', children's and baby's clothing, and even includes pieces from F&F's celebrity collaborations like activewear from Kate Ferdinand 's range. Whether you're looking for some last minute holiday outfits, just want to add to your summer wardrobe, or stock up on staples, now is the perfect time to fill your basket for less. But with so much choice, it might be tricky to decide what to order. So, as our resident fashion expert, I've scoured the F&F sale for you to pick out the best bits that are too good to miss so you don't have to. Here's exactly what's worth adding to your order before the 25% off Clubcard sale ends. F&F Active Skort in Black Was £16, now £12. With Wimbledon due to start on Monday (June 30) tennis fever is about to hit the UK, and this activewear skort from Kate Ferdinand's range is perfect for getting into the spirit. Whether you want to practice your backhand or just want to bring a little sporty chic to your outfits, it's perfect. Was £25, now £18.75. Summer is in full swing and hopefully that means you're planning on jetting off on holiday some time soon. Even if you've just got a staycation or a trip to the local pool planned, a great swimsuit can boost your confidence and keep you feeling comfortable and secure. This sophisticated looking swimsuit has a flattering design and hidden tummy control, helping smooth and support your shape whilst looking chic by the pool. Was £39.50, now £29.62. Another staple in your summer wardrobe should be a white maxi skirt. Easy to pair with anything from swimwear to linen blouses and patterned crop tops, they're a mix-and-match dream. This cotton embroidered skirt looks far more expensive than its price tag (even before the discount!) and is guaranteed to be a piece you reach for time and time again. Was £22.50, now £16.87. No wardrobe is complete without some denim, and straight leg jeans are one of the most universally flattering cuts you can wear. They also lend themselves to plenty of occasions; you can dress them up for the evening with a fitted top and heels, or keep them casual with a T-shirt and trainers during the day. The F&F Edit Palm Print Bardot Midi Dress in Multi Red Was £25, now £18.75. A bold print is an easy way to instantly make your outfit look more expensive and elevated, and this red tropical palm print nails it. The bardot silhouette is perfect for showing off your bronzed shoulders on holiday, whilst the midi length and flowing fit keeps it breezy, comfortable and sophisticated looking. F&F Raw Hem Rigid Denim Shorts in Navy Was £18, now £13.50. Finally, a really great pair of denim shorts are an absolute essential when it comes to your summer wardrobe. The high waist and A-line fit of these means they'll be flattering on all figures and give you plenty of room to move, and they look just as good with a loose fitting linen shirt and sandals on holiday as they do with a band T-shirt and biker boots at a festival. You can use your Clubcard to save 25% off hundreds of other items across all categories for a limited time only, so you'll need to be quick if you want to bag the bargains. You can also shop plenty of other summer fashion sales with up to 60% off at ASOS, up to 70% off at New Look, and up to 50% off at Boden.
