Starbucks has launched its first ready-to-drink Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, a limited-edition bottled coffee-and-milk beverage priced at £2.20 and available from Sainsbury’s, SPAR and other major UK retailers while stocks last. The company has also introduced permanent Matcha Latte and Strawberry Matcha Latte drinks at £2. Starbucks plans two new Carlisle locations and is running a nationwide Illustration Club competition, judged by artist Yinka Ilori, with the winning cup design to appear in an outdoor advertising campaign.

Lakeland's £14.99 Mist & Clear Starter Kit is presented as a highly effective and attractive alternative to Purdy & Figg's more expensive refillable cleaning products. The kit includes reusable amber glass bottles, four concentrated refills, a microfibre cloth and a three-year guarantee. The review particularly praises its streak-free glass cleaner, effective surface and bathroom sprays, lighter fragrances and flexible purchase model without a subscription. The author concludes that it offers premium features and performance at roughly half the price of a Purdy & Figg starter kit.
