The internet has seemingly gone into meltdown over the last week after Nestlé launched a spin-off of its popular Curiously Cinnamon cereal in the shape of churros.
Churros for breakfast?
Although often eaten as a dessert or a sweet treat in the UK, churros – which are a type of fried dough usually sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and dipped in a hot, melted chocolate – are actually popularly eaten at breakfast time in Portugal and Spain at breakfast, which is why Nestlé has decided to turn them into a cereal.
Boxes of Curiously Cinnamon Churros come packed with small, churro-shaped snacks that are coated with the same blend of sugar and spice that fans of the original breakfast cereal already know and love.
Once word of the launch of the new cereal got out, and food bloggers and reviewers on social media started singing its praises, people have been keen to get their hands on a box.

An eagle-eyed shopper took to social media to share her recent find with the over 1.7 million members of the ever-popular Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK Group on Facebook, with the simple caption: “Found these in Tesco” – and that teaser was all it took to grab the attention of thousands of people up and down the country.

The post has since amassed well over 1.8K interactions, and 2.2K comments from other budget shoppers also keen to find a box at their local supermarket.
Although the shopper didn’t reveal which branch of Tesco she found the new cereal at, it’s believed that Curiously Cinnamon Churros are currently only available at Tesco, with no confirmation yet as to whether it’ll be stocked on the shelves at other supermarket chains in the future.
A box should set you back around £2.50.

The new cereal was also shared to the popular food spotting Instagram page @NewFoodsUK, as well as by well-known Instagram food reviewers @JohnsSnackReviews and @helenjtea – who said: “The warming cinnamon flavour definitely does remind me of churros and they have mastered the shape.”
She also recommended trying them with chocolate milk too.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
