22.10.24 Cheap Eats, Homes, & Good Fortune: The Week's Top Trends

Here is a podcast description that includes the stores mentioned in the sources and what is discussed about each of them: This week we're talking about grocery store deals, new holiday products hitting the shelves, and plant-based eating trends: ● Aldi is selling the cheapest Quality Street tubs in the UK at just £3.89 for a 600g tub. The grocer has also launched a Christmas-Easter egg hybrid called the “Chreaster Egg” in the shape of Garry the Gingerbread Man and Parker the Penguin for £1.99. While some shoppers are excited about the new treat, others are confused or put off by the mashup. Aldi has also introduced new higher-welfare standards for its fresh chicken, which will be reflected in new packaging starting October 30th. ● Lidl is tripling the number of plant-based products in its Vemondo! Plant Based range. The expanded range will include a variety of meat-free alternatives, such as burgers, sausages, mince, and nuggets. ● Costa Coffee has revealed its Christmas menu, which includes a new Caramel Nutcracker drinks range, a Chocolate and Caramel Nutcracker Cake, and a variety of savory toasties. Costa Club members can get early access to the Black Forest drinks range starting October 24th. ● Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Tesco, and Asda are all selling Quality Street tubs for £6.00 (600g), which is significantly more than Aldi’s price
