The Weekly Pinch of Shopping: 17.10.25

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Pinch of Shopping! We’ve been around the shops so you don’t have to, spotting all the new goodies that are making us excited this week.

If you like a morning pick-me-up, Kellogg’s Oaties Honey & Oat Snack Bars are a deliciously simple option, or our Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Oats are a way of making breakfast feel a little more special with minimal prep.

Feeling a bit nostalgic? Angel Delight’s Bubble Jelly will bring a welcome wobble to your after-dinner plate. There are also Mango & Passionfruit Jammie Dodgers (we certainly won’t be dodging those!), and two different types of chocolate orange sweet treats. You’ll have to keep reading to see what they are!

And if you love meals that are packed with flavour and easy to prepare, our new Slow Cooker book is well worth a look. Inside, you’ll find 100 recipes that let you sit back and relax while dinner cooks itself.
