Tesco Clubcard members can nab a festive main, snack and drink for a measly £3.60.

The supermarket has something for everyone – with options catering to meat-eaters and veggies alike.

Sarnies making their debut in the range include Tesco’s new Christmas Cracking Currywurst Sub – available for a £3.00 on its own, making this meal deal a stellar saver.

The festive sandwich is filled with juicy pork sausage, smoky caramelised onions and tangy curry ketchup, wrapped into an egg-glazed sub roll. 

For £3.25, the new Ho-Ho-Hog Wrap comes with low-cooked pulled pork seasoned with fennel and garlic.

It’s paired with rosemary gravy mayo and a crunchy apple slaw and wrapped in a tortilla.

Veggies can enjoy the new Plant Chef Christmas Veg Fest Wrap for just £3.

It features roasted carrots, parsnips, and spiced red cabbage, topped with vegan gravy mayo and is tucked inside a spinach tortilla.

The supermarket has also kept gluten-free eaters in mind with their new Gluten Free Festive Chicken & Trimmings sandwich for £3.40. 

It pairs tender chicken breast, layered with pork, sage and onion stuffing mayo, cranberry sauce between two slices of seeded gluten-free bread.

But that’s not all – some popular products are returning to the festive meal deal range, including the likes of Tesco Turkey & Trimmings Sandwich, priced at £3.40.

This sandwich is packed with turkey breast, sausage, sage and onion stuffing, and beechwood smoked bacon and is layered with mayo and cranberry sauce, served on slices of malted bread.

And Clubcard members can get three premium mains as part of its Christmas Meal Deal range for just a fiver.

The Tesco Finest side comes complete with a side and a choice of drink, like regular meal deals.

The first premium main is the Chicken & Bacon Wrap with Gravy Mayonnaise Dip, setting shoppers back £4.25 on its own.

It contains chargrilled chicken breast and maple-cured bacon which is paired with a tangy cranberry chilli chutney and wrapped in a soft, bar-marked tortilla.

The second main to join the lineup is the £4.50 Festive Chicken, Bacon & Stuffing Mayo Baguette which comes with chicken breast, beechwood smoked bacon, sage and onion stuffing mayo, and cranberry sauce.

The third and final premium main is the £4.25 Tesco Finest Turkey BLT that’s inspired by New York delis.

It features pastrami-style turkey, maple-cured bacon, Emmental cheese, and tangy gherkin mayo, all served on rye and caraway bread.

Tesco has also launched snacks for just £1.50 a pop, with two new treats for shoppers to feast on.

The Mini Christmas Bangers with Gravy Mayo Dip are made from pork, apple, and cranberry and served with a rich sage and black pepper mayo dip on the side for a herby, festive finish.

The Christmassy Chicken Bites with Festive Cranberry Dip feature tender chicken bites seasoned with stuffing and accompanied by with a zesty cranberry dip.

But two meal deal snacks will be returning – including Tesco Mini Pork Pies and Tesco Pig in Blanket Sausage Rolls.

The pair of mini pork pies feature seasoned cured pork, sweetened dried cranberries, and cranberry sauce wrapped in a crisp hot water crust pastry.

Meanwhile, the Pig in Blanket Sausage Rolls include pork sausage meat wrapped in smoked bacon and encased in flaky puff pastry and sage and onion seasoning.

We reveal ways to turn your seasonal post into a serious career[/caption]

If you’d like to turn your seasonal post into a serious career, try this Santa’s sackful of tips, from Department for Work and Pensions work coaches.

ASK ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES: Enjoying your job? Let your manager know you are keen to stay on with the company. If you see a suitable vacancy, apply while you are still working there.

HAVE A CAN-DO ATTITUDE: Approach every task with positivity. Even when the role may be difficult, show determination to get it done well.

BE A TEAM PLAYER: Consider what tasks need to be done by your department and how you can add value.

BE PROACTIVE: When you have finished a task, ask your manager or colleagues if there is anything else you can do to help.

ASK FOR FEEDBACK: Requesting this from your colleagues and your manager will show you have a desire to improve and that you are thinking long-term on how you can develop personally but also within the team.

SHOW YOUR POTENTIAL: Ask if you can shadow colleagues in departments of interest and use it as a work experience exercise.

TEARS For Fears are at their absolute best live – and they know it.

After 40 years, they are releasing their first live album and a film of one of their brilliant shows.

Tears for Fears are releasing their first live album and a film of one of their shows[/caption]

Rex Features

Songs For A Nervous Planet and Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point film) showcase the band at the peak of their powers.

“For those who haven’t seen us live, we are playing our finest shows,” says bassist and singer Curt Smith.

“Our most recent album (2022’s The Tipping Point) showed we still had something to offer.

“It was well received and it had a strong narrative,” says guitarist and singer Roland Orzabal.

“It’s been a joy to play those songs live.”

Both of Tears For Fears are jet-lagged when we meet at their central London record company offices as Smith has flown in from his LA home the night before while Orzabal has arrived from Boston.

There’s a table of soft drinks and fruit to keep them fuelled for back-to-back interviews and the special premiere of their film the following evening.

Tired but chatty, they joke about what they will wear for their film screening.

“What’s wrong with the outfits we are wearing now?” laughs Smith.

“The film is not just for fans but for people who haven’t seen us play live, or those who missed the shows we had to cancel.”

It’s unfinished business for Tears For Fears, who were forced to cancel the remaining dates of their UK Tour in 2022 after Smith broke his ribs.

“It was soul- destroying when that happened,” he says.

“It upset me immensely to not finish that tour because it was going so well.

“It was just one of those freak accidents.

“I thought the bus had stopped but it hadn’t — so I’d stood up to get my bag then the bus jolted forward, and I flew back and literally caught the edge of a table right against my ribs.

“It was so painful.

“I woke up the next morning in agony.

“They could see one cracked rib on the sonogram and said there was no way I could sing.

“When I got back to LA and had a full scan, my doctor told me I had fractured four ribs.”

The film and album’s live recordings were captured at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee.

How did they cope performing with cameras in their faces?

“We were relaxed until we got on stage,” says Smith.

‘UNFINISHED BUSINESS’

“It’s a double-edged sword.

“I don’t think we look as relaxed as we have done in concert.

“But did we play well? Yes, because we concentrated on playing well.

“You are very self-conscious about playing and singing, but it ended up being the best recording.”

Orzabal adds: “When we headlined Radio 2 In The Park in Leicester last year, I was more relaxed.

“Maybe I was more drunk, or it was because lots of other artists were playing, too.

“Sharleen from Texas popped into the dressing room and she’s hilarious.”

Smith says: “We would like to do more of those things as we thoroughly enjoy them, although we’ve never been asked to play Glastonbury or the Isle of Wight.”

It was important for Tears For Fears to include four new songs on Songs For A Nervous Planet to reflect their ongoing creativeness and the fact they are in a good place.

Smith adds: “The Tipping Point was darkness and a lot of pain, but also about coming back into the light.

“We felt these songs had an entity of their own and so we see it as an EP.”

Orzabal added: “I’ve moved on from The Tipping Point, which was about the death of my first wife, Caroline, who died in 2017.

“Now I’ve been remarried for four years, we are happy personally, and we’re certainly happy professionally.” Orzabal had been trying to write a song for his second wife, Emily, and found an old song while clearing out a computer.

He says: “I took the backing track, which sounded a bit like Woman In Chains, to Hawaii on holiday.

“When you are trying to come up with stuff, you’re not on your own.

“I believe you’re picking stuff out of the ether, or out of the Akashic Field, and I needed a special song title.

“I woke up in the morning and had The Girl That I Call Home as a title.

“So, thank you, whoever you are.”

Emily Said is another song inspired by Orzabal’s wife, while Astronaut is “about not feeling that you belong on this earth”.

“It’s also about what you want to be when you’re a kid. For me, I used to say, “maths teacher”.

‘SENSE OF ESCAPISM’

Curt wanted to be a pilot and a lot of people say, ‘I want to be an astronaut’ — that is exactly what the song is all about.”

“There’s also a sense of escapism,” says Smith.

“Everything is extremely divisive today so the desire to escape is very current.

“And it’s a bit of a weird track, where we can just — forgive the pun — float off to space like an Astronaut.

“And it fits in so well with the other three songs.”

Say Goodbye To Mum And Dad might not have the cheeriest of song titles, but says Orzabal, it’s a “Tears For Fears double-edged sword”.

He continues, “It’s not a happy subject, but with the whistling and music, you get lost in it.

“It’s a morose lyric with a happy backing track and comes from the first lockdown in Britain.

“I was watching TV, seeing all these images of people who couldn’t see or touch their relatives — or were going to hospitals and care homes and seeing their ageing parents through glass and not even being able to go to their funeral.”

“It’s a trademark of ours,” adds Smith.

“If you look at Mad World or Everybody Wants To Rule The World they are lyrically quite dark but have happy backing tracks.

“So, I think it’s the way we choose to balance.”

The album title was inspired by Matt Haig’s book Notes On A Nervous Planet, about how modern life feeds our anxiety, and helps you live a better life.

Orzabal — who suffered a seizure and ended up in hospital and rehab as he struggled with side-effects from taking painkillers — says: “I read this book in 2018, when I was kind of going through it.

“The book says how social media is making the planet so nervous — and explains how it works with algorithms.

We would try talking to George Michael. But it just didn’t happen

Roland Orzabal

“Just read books and protect yourself from the way that information is given to you.

“The way information is received has made everything become very black or white and divisive.”

Smith and Orzabal agree that being in Tears For Fears today is more enjoyable than it was at the height of their fame in the 80s.

“We are enjoying it more today — no question. And there’s a multitude of reasons for that,” says Smith.

“Getting older and calmer, to a certain degree.

“And a lot of it is down to having family — something that’s far more important than music.

“When we were recording in our twenties, it was the be all and end all,” says Smith, who left the band in 1991 and moved to New York with the pair not talking for ten years.

“Nine,” interrupts Orzabal. “Well nine and a bit. We are still trying to make up for it!”

Looking back to their heyday, the pair both say they didn’t really fit in with the other bands of their time.

‘OUT OF PLACE’

Smith says: “We didn’t have perspective in our 20s. I just don’t think we became ourselves until we were a lot older.

“We are individual, and we’re extremely happy that no one does anything like us.

“We’d be on Top Of The Pops, and there would be Culture Club and we’d be bothered that they were higher than we were.

“I went to dinner with John Taylor and Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran — and Simon goes, ‘No one knew what to make of you back then.’

“And it’s very true.

“We didn’t fit in with anything, or any of the ‘scenes’ as we were just these weird couple of people from Bath.

“I was never the biggest Duran Duran fan. But they couldn’t be nicer people now I know them.

“But back then there were no real allies — we felt completely out of place.

“Slade were on at Christmas one time, which was fantastic.

“Slade was the first record I ever bought, but apart from that we felt out of place like we didn’t belong there.”

Orzabal says: “I remember early on being in make-up with Martin Gore from Depeche Mode.

“I’ve got a lot of make-up on, and he’s got a lot of make-up on, and you would think that we’d have something to talk about.

“No. We didn’t speak.

“We would try talking to George Michael. But it just didn’t happen.

“Everyone was too competitive.

“We were called the thinking schoolgirls’ Wham!

“But they would look at us as if to say, ‘You guys are nothing like us.

“So, f***k off. It was like school.”

Next, Tears For Fears will be performing for three nights at BleauLive Theater in Las Vegas, at the end of this month.

Would they ever play album shows — where they play an album from start to finish?

“Well, maybe. It’s not something we’ve really thought about,” says Smith.

“And with certain songs we’re like, ‘Oh, fk, I don’t really want to play that one.’”

What about another new album?

Orzabal says: “If we make an analogy, The Tipping Point and The Hurting.

“Then, Songs From The Big Chair, Songs For A Nervous Planet.

‘WE’RE PICKY F**KS’

“What’s next? Seeds Of Love. Oh, damn, that’s going to take a while.”

Smith adds: “There could be more shows coming and as far as new recordings, I think we’ll release stuff when we think it’s good.

“That approach has served us well in the past.

“When we feel something is worth putting out, that we’re proud enough of, then we’ll release it.

“But we don’t know when that will happen — we don’t know until we do it.

“We’re always going to have a struggle creatively as we’re picky f**ks.”

Orzabal laughs: “We are fussy bastards. But when we do come to an agreement, everyone will know it’s good.”

• Album Songs For A Nervous Planet is out Oct 25 and Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point Film) is in cinemas worldwide on Oct 24 and 26.

WENDY’S fans were left confused after stores appeared to suspend the new Boo! Bag.

Halloween often sees the fast food chain roll out Frosty Frights Kids’ Meals and Boo! Bags for youngsters.

Customers were worried about the future of the Boo! Bag[/caption]

Boo! Bags are filled with treats, toys and books in honour of spooky season so children can get into the Halloween spirit.

Many were left shocked after seeing reports that the Boo! Bag would not make an appearance this year.

But according to one Facebook user, it was just a change of plans from the company after customers feared the worst.

And there was some good news as the poster said that employees had confirmed a new date to score the goodies.

Their full post on the social media read: “Ahh, some Wendy’s employees are telling me they changed the Boo! Bag date.

“I’ll update you guys later on today after I hear back from them.

“UPDATE!! Corp told me October 21st while supplies last.”

Fans were quick to take to the comments section and weigh in with their opinions.

One wrote: “I need one.”

Another said: “Mine actually released theirs today. I called before I went, and they said they had them available.”

A third added: “My local Wendy’s also confirmed it’s delayed till the 21st.”

Meanwhile a fourth said: “I ordered it last night, they took my money but when they didn’t give me the Skeleton toy, I asked for it.

“The manager told me the meal starts on Oct. 21st—but then gave me the Skeleton!”

It comes after a Wendy’s closed in a popular area, leaving fans wondering if they could afford the neighborhood’s evolving prices.

After a Wendy‘s location in Ohio closed, fans of the restaurant chain have started to wonder if they are being “priced out.”

This comes after the chain restaurant introduced several new enticing deals for frugal customers.

In May, Wendy’s announced that burger lovers can pick up one of their favorite sandwiches from Wendy’s for only 1 cent.

As holidays become more expensive with each passing year, some punters may now have the perfect solution to rising food costs.

It’s always a good idea to shop around to make sure you can find the best deals.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.

Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.

Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets.

Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.

Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers.

All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.

THE Jeopardy! studio audience, which included some past winners, were heard gasping in horror after tonight’s contestant lost all of his earnings on a risky game-ending wager.

Season 41 fan-favorite Rishabh Wuppalapati returned to Thursday night’s game in hopes of continuing his winning streak after “fighting” to win back-to-back nail biters. 

Jeopardy!

Jeopardy!

Jeopardy!

The undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, who has already secured $42,402 in his two-day total, played against Aaron Brown, an entrepreneur and trivia host from Ontario as well as Angel Poe, an educational consultant from Florida.

Aaron and Rishabh had quite the battle as they swapped leads throughout the game. 

However, it was Angel who found the first daily double – but unfortunately got it wrong and lost $1,000. 

Going into the first break, Rishabh was in unfamiliar territory as he was in third place with $0. 

Aaron was in the lead at that point with $6,200 while Angel was in second place with $2,000.

When the second Daily Double was found under “Women’s Organizations”, Aaron was in the lead with $10,800. 

However, he got the response wrong and dropped $2,000 – putting Rishabh back in the lead with his $10,200. 

The third Daily Double is where the game made a huge shift, as Aaron found the coveted clue again. 

Jeopardy!

Under the category, The Books of Mormons, host Ken Jennings read: “One heck of a labyrinth is the only way out in this 2009 James Dashner novel.”

“What is the Maze Runner? was the answer the show was looking for however, Aaron sat in silence for several seconds before blurting out “What is Maze?” – which Ken did not accept.

Aaron bet every dollar of his $10,400 for a true Daily Double. 

Though he was just a few hundred dollars behind Rishabh for the lead, he had now dropped to $0 – resulting in an audible gasp from the studio audience.  

Contestant Zoe Grobman, who made her Jeopardy! debut on Tuesday’s game but lost to Rishabh, gave fans some more insight into just how shocking the moment was on-set. 

“That Huge Daily Double made everyone in the audience gasp. Its such a shame it didn’t work out for Aaron.

“But all of us players (and a certain 5x Champion in the audience that day) agreed it was absolutely the right move to make given how strong Rishabh had been so far against tough competition,” she said, referencing five-day champ Mark Fitzpatrick who was also still around watching the competition. 

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up with a second chance on the strength of that play,” Zoe added of Aaron’s impressive performance. 

GO BIG, GO HOME

Heading into Final Jeopardy, only Aaron and Rishabh participated as Angel was in the red with -$400.

Host Ken read the clue under “Letter of the Artists” category: “In 1896 he wrote, ‘my prices are 2000, 3000 & 4000 dollars for head & shoulders, 3/4 length & full-length respectively.’”

Neither player wrote down the correct: “Who was John Singer Sargent?”

Rishabh dropped $5,000 to win with $10,400 for a three day total of $52,802. 

Despite going big, Aaron is going home with $1,600. 

Contestant Zoe offered more insight into the behind-the-scenes of the show, writing: “Aaron was probably the strongest player of all of us during the practice games in the morning. 

“The fact that he’s a professional ‘Trivia Daddy’ gave him even more serious bonafides, so I knew whoever went up against him would have a tough time.”

She added: “Angel was an absolute sweetheart all day and it was truly sad to see her not make it to final. 

“That’s the nightmare scenario coming on the show and I’m sure it hurt. But she did such a good job rallying back from a deep hole near the end, and all the rest of us thought she’s a rockstar. 

“Rishabh pulled out his third straight very difficult win, he’s had to fight tooth and nail for all of them. With all the 3xers making the TOC last year, it was around now that we started wondering if we were watching a future TOC Great at play.”

Despite losing Tuesday’s game to Rishabh, Zoe had a strong Jeopardy! debut and ended her game with $19,601 – just $2,000 behind her opponent. 

DOLLAR General has announced the exact date shoppers can score a “buy 2 get 1 free” on a Thanksgiving “bundle”.

Thanksgiving is a time for reunions, gratitude, and of course, food – but it’s perfectly reasonable not to want to break the bank.

Retailers such as Dollar General have announced some savvy saving deals.

As stated in DG’s press release, it is “to help our shoppers by building meaningful recipe/meal solutions”.

The bundle is essentially a buy two, get one free deal, so shoppers can nab a free item.

The deal will run from October 20 to November 28.

What’s the deal?

• Pumpkin Pie Bundle: Buy a Keebler Mini Pie Crust (6-count) and Eagle Brand Evaporated Milk (12-ounce) and get a free Clover Valley Canned Pumpkin (15-ounce).
• Green Bean Casserole Bundle: Buy Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup (10 ½-ounce) and French’s Fried Onions (2.8-ounce) and get free Clover Valley Green Beans (14 1⁄2-ounce).
• Sweet Potato Casserole Bundle: Buy Bruce’s Yams (29-ounce) and Clover Valley Brown Sugar (2-pound) and get free Kraft Mini Marshmallows (10-ounce).

This isn’t all DG has up its sleeve.

The discount store has also broadened its “seasonal assortment of holiday pantry staples”.

Plus customers can enjoy “weekly deals including cash back offers and digital coupons, such as the weekly $5 off $25 coupon”.

DG has also developed numerous “Better for You” recipes which use ingredients primarily sourced from Dollar General stores.

Many of these recipes require fresh fruit and vegetables since the store recently distributed fresh produce over 5,400 of its stores.

Some of these tasty ingredients include twice baked sweet potatoes, baked apple pecan chicken, candied nuts and green beans.

DG’s announcement comes after major retailer Aldi revealed its commitment to Thanksgiving.

It is doing so by offering its lowest priced bundle in five years.

Inside Aldi’s thanksgiving basket is a Butterball turkey with spices, gravy, rolls, mac & cheese, and stuffing.

Plus, the ingredients for cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.

Aldi says it’ll serve 10 people for less than $47.
