At a whopping £2.50 per pack shoppers said Sainsbury's could keep the sweet treats. But despite the excitement of the new flavour shoppers were left stunned by the "ridiculous" price. After an image of the new biscuits was shared to social media alongside the eye watering price tag fans hit out at the treat supplier. Amanda Holden, Roman Kemp & Denise van Outen step out on blue carpet to mark 100 years of McVitie's Chocolate Digestives While McVitie's claimed the biscuit would "bring together nostalgic flavours in a fun, fruity, and irresistibly moreish bite" fans could only focus on the price.

How to save cash on your food shop Money saving experts at HSBC UK have revealed their top tips to saving cash on your food shop. 1. Set a budget Creating a budget will help to stretch your budget. Start by working out how much you spent on food over the last three months, then each month you get paid, set aside a certain amount for food. 2. Plan your meals Make a list of your main meals for the coming week, including the ingredients you need, and stick to it. Don't get drawn into offers for things that you don't need. If you already have some food leftover from the week before, try to see what you can do with that first. 3. Think about when and where you shop It's best to shop on a full stomach so you don't get tempted. Shopping less often can help you to think about what you buy and it may help you to stick to your budget. 4. Go online Shopping online is a good and easy way to manage your budget. It can also help to track expenses, whilst also preventing impulse buys. After seeing the price of the new biscuits in Sainsbury's one fan said: "At £2.50 I let the shop keep them, ridiculous when shop brand digestives are 50p. "These companies hike the price on purpose they'll be reduced to pennies if they don't sell well." Another commented: "For £2.50 they can keep them." And a third added: "Expensive at £2.50 for biscuits. Bet these will be in Farmfoods soon for £1.00." Another wrote: "I need to experience." And a fifth replied: "They have them in my store I will get some tomorrow after work."

McVitie's fans 'need' to try new Digestives flavour 'now'
As part of McVitie's' 100th anniversary celebrations of its iconic Chocolate Digestive, the brand is launching a new flavour – but you'll have to be quick if you want to snap them up If you're a fan of McVitie's Digestive biscuits, you're in for a treat as the brand prepares to launch a new edition of one of its much-loved snacks. The plain Digestive was first produced in 1892 and has gone on to see numerous adaptions – most notably the Chocolate Digestive – as well Caramel and Gold Bar versions in more recent times. Now, the Digestive has taken on a new form and after an image of its packet was shared to Instagram, foodies admitted they can't wait to tuck in. The account, UK's Newest Foods divulged: "PINK Raspberry & Cream flavour Digestives coming soon to Sainsbury's RRP £2.35." McVitie's say the new product is part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of Chocolate Digestives and is a "fruity reinvention, now topped with a smooth raspberry and cream flavour coating." Snack lovers may be sad to learn the biscuits will only be on the shelves for a limited time only, however, as McVitie's added in a mouth-watering product description: "Bringing a burst of colour into the biscuit world, McVitie's is putting a fruity spin on its iconic range with the launch of the limited-edition McVitie's Pink Digestives Raspberry & Cream Flavour. "The McVitie's production lines are now baking perfectly pink biscuits. Each biscuit is a golden-baked Digestive topped with a luscious raspberry and cream-flavour coating, bringing together nostalgic flavours in a fun, fruity and irresistibly moreish bite." "Whether you're enjoying the summer of sport, a biscuit break with friends or looking to perk up a sunny picnic, McVitie's Pink Digestives are the seasons' ultimate sweet treat." Writing in response to the Instagram post, hungry Brits highlighted its resemblance to another iconic biscuit as they admitted they couldn't wait to snap them up and scoff them down. "I need these now!" one person declared. "All my dreams have come true!" A second pondered: "If these taste like Pink Panther biscuits, oh my God." A third added: "I used to love pink wafers as a kid!" Whilst a fourth person declared: "I can't wait to see this in stores here in London." Benazir Barlet-Batada, Marketing Director at McVitie's, said: "As we continue to celebrate 100 years of McVitie's Chocolate Digestives, we wanted to mark the next chapter in our history by reinventing the nation's favourite. Fun, fresh and packed with fruity flavour, the new Pink Digestives are designed to delight devoted Digestives fans and foodies alike." Last month saw some of London's most famous landmarks illuminated with dazzling light projections to celebrate the anniversary, meanwhile. The London Eye was transformed into a towering tribute, showcasing a jaw-dropping 360-degree rotating projection of the beloved biscuit. And Tower Bridge joined the festivities with a vibrant showreel of fireworks, balloons, and confetti. The ambitious projections required eight weeks of meticulous planning and precision mapping to align the visuals perfectly with each landmark, using advanced hologauze and projection technology.

Scarlett Moffatt shows off her weight loss as she lets her hair down while enjoying a boozy karaoke night with her friends in Spain
Scarlett Moffatt was once again flaunting her recent weight loss as she enjoyed a very boozy karaoke night in Torremolinos, Spain, over the weekend. The former Gogglebox favourite, 34, flaunted her slimmer frame in snaps posted to Instagram on Monday showing off her wild night out with her friends. Scarlett looked glamorous as she posed in a semi sheer co-ord, which was made up of a shirt and matching wide-legged trousers. Revealing that she now takes the opportunity to let her hair down now she's a mother, Scarlett said: '48 hours in Torremolinos with my besties. 'Honestly no one is wilder on a night out than a mother, I used to be very mild and now I'm a stay at home mam I'm first on the dance floor and last off the karaoke.' Alongside her sizzling shots, Scarlett shared a clip of her singing the night away during a fun karaoke session joined by one of her best friends. She looked over the moon posing for a slew of hilarious selfies with her pals, and later posed alongside two glamorous drag-queens. Scarlett also shared a fresh-faced snap of herself going make-up free while posing with a thumbs up. The former I'm A Celebrity star previously flaunted her weight loss as she enjoyed a sweet family day out to Tynemouth beach in Newcastle last week. She showeed off her new look in an album posted to Instagram and she looked happier than ever in a chic light green co-ord. Scarlett layered her two-piece in a figure-hugging leopard-print body suit as she accessorised her look with a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses. During the outing with her fiancé Scott Dobinson, Scarlett looked every inch the doting mother as she played with their son, Jude, 22 months, on the beach. Sharing the family pictures to her social media, she penned: 'Quick dash to home bargains this morning for a bucket & spade, some picky bits from m & s and we were ready for a proper British day at the beach.' Her outing comes after she displayed her jaw-dropping transformation in a strapless black and white pinstripe dress earlier in the day. She confidently struck a pose in her summer attire as she celebrated 100 years of McVitie's at an exclusive Chocolate Digestives Experience in London. The McVitie's Chocolate Digestives Experience - opening to the public May 2 - promises to be a chocolate digestives-lover's paradise. It features a Biscuit Bar, where visitors can sample never-seen-before McVitie's Chocolate Digestives creations. A gallery also showcases biscuit-based portraits of British icons David Bowie, Sir Trevor McDonald and Dame Judi Dench, created by leading mosaic artist Ed Chapman. In June 2023, Scarlett announced she had given birth via a sweet Instagram post and said Jude arrived five weeks earlier than planned. Captioning the snap, she wrote: 'Jude Xavier Dobinson. My darling boy I can't stop crying looking at you as I can't quite believe you're mine.' 'You wanted to meet us early at just 35 weeks. 'Me & your daddy love you so much that I can't even put this feeling into words.' 'Our heart and soul feels complete & ready to burst. I will forever and always be grateful to be your mammy.' 'I can't thank @scottdobby enough & to the midwives Helen & Charlotte & all of the NHS team at Durham Hospital.' 'You will all forever hold a special place in my heart for looking after us all with such compassion. Let the baby bubble commence.' Scarlett and Scott, who have known each other for more than 15 years, began dating in late 2018 and went public with their relationship in March 2019. The couple got engaged in November 2023, shortly after the birth of their first child.
