Primark has sent Harry Potter fans wild with the launch of its brand new Harry Potter themed pet range.

The retailer, which recently announced a very unexpected collaboration with Greggs, shared a glimpse of the magical new range on Facebook earlier this week.

Sharing a photo of a dog bed, a harness and lead set, a feeding bowl and an array of toys all emblazoned in the classic Gryffindor colours of red and gold, Primark wrote: “Spoil your furry friend with a Harry Potter bed and accessories… Prices start from £5.”

The Facebook post has already received over 2.1k likes and 8.4k comments from shoppers keep to spoil their pets.

One social media user wrote: “Scruffy would look so good in these colours!!!”

Another commented: “My bunny Archie needs some accessories. I’m a Slytherin but with his bravery and taste for adventure 110% this little rascal is a Gryffindor.”

Though a third questioned: “Why is it always Gryffindor? My dog is such a Hufflepuff.”

Primark has stated that, due to the popularity of their Harry Potter pet range, stock and availability may be limited in some stores. 

A spokesperson said: “Merchandise is very popular and we’re doing our best to satisfy the demand. We would encourage you to check with the store team for further information.”

But let’s talk more about that Greggs collaboration; at the start of the month, mannequins in the windows at a number of Primark stores were spotted with Vegan Sausage Rolls and Steak Bakes as part of the displays, while a receipt discretely showing items from the Greggs menu also appeared across Primark’s social media channels.

Following these hints, the two retailers confirmed their somewhat unexpected partnership, sharing a video revealing a new clothing range and ‘Tasty by Greggs’ café experience across their social media channels.

And last week, Primark unveiled its new Greggs clothing line, featuring hoodies, sweatshirts, t-shirts, bucket hats, socks and sliders adorned with the iconic Greggs branding and plenty of sausage rolls.

Aldi brings back heated clothes airer to help with cost-of-living this winter

A must have for the chillier seasons

Aldi

As the nights draw in and the temperature drops by the day, Aldi has announced its viral heated clothes airer is back to help keep costs down this winter.

As prices pretty much everywhere continue to rise and households may be wondering how they will manage through the winter, the budget supermarket chain has decided to restock its sought after heated clothes airer – after it flew off the shelves last year.

The item, part of its Specialbuys section, went viral online and completely sold out as people looked for cost saving ways to help them go about their everyday routines.

Aldi

The Aldi Heated Airer, priced at £39.99, is similar to those you can find on Amazon, Argos and Very but quite a bit cheaper in comparison – for those eagle-eyed bargain hunters out there.

Apparently only costing less than 7p an hour to run on average, you could save around £25, so it’s a proper energy-saver too.

According to the website description, the Easy Home Winged Heated Airer is lightweight and folds for easy storage, it also has a large drying surface of 230 watt 18 heated bars, and comes with a drying cover.

Aldi

Once plugged in, this handy domestic contraption heats up quickly and will have your washing load dry in no time. The cover also acts as extra insulation to help speed up the process and it can even help warm up a room.

So don’t hang around, you’ll need to move fast if you want to snap one of these up to avoid disappointment before they surely sell out again.

Just like Aldi says: “As with all Specialbuys – once they’re gone, they’re gone.”

Aldi’s heated dryer is priced at £39.99 and will be available in the famous middle aisle section at selected stores, and on the website from September 28th while stocks last.

Iceland

Frozen food supermarket chain Iceland has launched an aisle dedicated to air fryer foods in a world first.

The move comes after more than 50% of Brits have reported they use the cooking appliance — reportedly cheaper to run during a cost of living crisis — several times a week.

The new dedicated aisle will include 287 items that can be cooked in the easy-to-use air fryer, such as Greggs sausage rolls, cod fillets, chicken fillets and Aunt Bessie’s Bacon Chicken Crown.

Iceland

According to the frozen goods giant, the new aisle will be piloted running from June 19th – June 25th at London’s Charlton outlet.

Latest research conducted by Utilita Energy revealed that households who mainly over cook can make the switch to more energy efficient appliances and make a whopping £202 saving.

Meanwhile, switching from oven cooking to an air fryer could see an annual saving of £80.50. In a poll, the energy firm also found that 72% of Brits would like to see air fryer cooking instructions included on food packaging.

Iceland has started adding cooking instructions for air fryer usage on its packaging following its pledge to update cooking methods along with energy saving instructions.

Richard Walker, Executive Chairman of Iceland Foods, said: “We pride ourselves on knowing exactly what our customers coming through our store doors are looking for, matching their changing shopping trends with fresh ideas.

“Introducing the world’s first air fryer aisle at our Food Warehouse is another exciting example. As the popularity of air fryer cooking grows, this aisle will give customers easy access to products that work perfectly in this time and energy saving cooking appliance.”
