The first QD branch was opened in Norwich in 1985.

It has kept a simple red and white logo of QD, which stands for the store’s name. 

In April 2022, the chain decided to give fellow discounters Poundland and Home Bargains a run for their money by offering a frozen food section.

Despite this, a number of shoppers have still never heard of the brand.

LAURA WOODS has given fans a rare glimpse into her new life as a mum.

The 37-year-old has taken a step back from regularly posting on social media while she looks after Leo alongside her fiance Adam Collard, with the pair having been dating since October 2023.

But in a rare post, Woods took to Instagram to share a load of adorable photos of herself and Leo at home to celebrate Mother’s Day.

She captioned her post: “Little Man…I don’t know what I was doing before you.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the mummies, especially mine!

“What a blessing.”

The post included adorable photos of Leo wearing a hat, and then one without, with another showing him sleeping next to Woods.

Videos were also included in the post, with one showing Leo laughing as he reacted to a hand brushing against his face while another showed Woods holding him as she serenaded him with a song.

Another photo showed Woods and Leo wrapped up for a walk along the beach.

Reacting to the post, former talkSPORT colleague Gabby Agbonlahor reacted with a hands-raised emoji and red heart.

Ally McCoist said: “There’s the wee man there!”

Meanwhile, fellow sports presenter Becky Ives said: “What a sweet boy!! Mumming looks good on you!”

A fan said: “Absolutely adorable. And you look amazing.”

A second said: “Beautiful pictures. They are the best. Great words.”

A third added: “The cutest pictures for Mother’s Day. You should be very proud.”

Eagle-eyed fans might have spotted Leo was wearing an Arsenal top in one of the snaps.

Woods has already indicated she will be doing all she can to ensure Leo grows up as a Gooner.

However, in a clip shared to Collard’s Instagram as his beloved Newcastle dumped Arsenal out of the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Leo was seen wearing a Newcastle babygrow with “Toon Army” emblazoned across it as he lay on a cushion on top of his mum’s legs.

Collard revealed to the world that he’ll raise Leo as a Newcastle fan before the first leg of the semi-final.

He did so by sharing an adorable snap of him lying down in a baby grow which had “mini magpie” written on it.

Woods, an avid Arsenal fan, was far from happy.

She reshared Collard’s story to her own and jokingly wrote “fuming” at the bottom of the photo.

Ultra-rare 1p coin that could ‘make you a millionaire’ revealed – and they could be hiding in your spare change

A COIN expert has revealed one of the 1ps coins that “could make you millionaire”.

TikTok star the Coin Collecting Wizard, has told followers of a coin that could be worth a small fortune.

A 1919 British penny surrounded by other coins.
The Tiktok star has shared coins that could make you a small fortune

It’s part of a series the expert shares with his fans, which outlines all the coins which could help collectors line their pockets.

He told fans the 1919 one-penny coin with a “H” mint mark can hold a “decent” amount of value depending on its condition.

The obverse or heads side of the coin features a portrait of King George V.

While the reverse of the coin features the Britannia believed to represent the spirit of the British nation, seated holding a branch and scepter and a shield by her side. 

On the bottom left of the coin you can see a marking which reads “H,” this is to show the coin was minted by Heaton & Sons.

Barry said this coin is the second rarest 1p coin to track down and is hard to find in good condition.

He explained that these coins, looking a little worse for wear, can sell for around £19.

However, those in better condition can be worth up to £200.

The Coin Collection Wizard said that looking out for these coins “could make you a millionaire”.

But you should take this with a pinch of salt, as coins are only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for them.

For example, a recent bid on eBay shows that this “H” one penny sold for £14 after three bids.

The coin wizard said this is one of many rare 1p coins that could help you become a millionaire.

He also said the “KN” one penny is slightly more valuable.

This coin is almost identical to the first coin mentioned, but instead of a “H” marking in the left corner, it has “KN”.

There appears to be no recent sale of this rare coin, but sellers have listed it on eBay for between £7 and £44.

And these are not the only 1p coins you should be keeping an eye on.

Back in February, a Queen Elizabeth II one penny, dated 1954 was selling for £90,000 at auction.

In 1954, no pennies were officially released for circulation.

But it’s believed a few were minted, resulting in merely a handful of 1954 pennies made.

How to spot rare coins and banknotes

Rare coins and notes hiding down the back of your sofa could sell for hundreds of pounds.

If you are lucky enough to find a rare £10 note you might be able to sell it for multiple times its face value.

You can spot rare notes by keeping an eye out for the serial numbers.

These numbers can be found on the side with the Monarch’s face, just under the value £10 in the corner of the note.

Also, if you have a serial number on your note that is quite quirky, you could cash in thousands.

For example, one seller bagged £3,600 after spotting a specific serial number relating to the year Jane Austen was born on one of their notes.

You can check if your notes are worth anything on eBay, just tick “completed and sold items” and filter by the highest value.

It will give you an idea of what people are willing to pay for some notes.

But do bear in mind that yours is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

This is also the case for coins, you can determine how rare your coin is by looking a the latest scarcity index.

The next step is to take a look at what has been recently sold on eBay.

Experts from Change Checker recommend looking at “sold listings” to be sure that the coin has sold for the specified amount rather than just been listed.

People can list things for any price they like, but it doesn’t mean it will sell for that amount.

We explain further how you can find out if you have a rare coin worth thousands sitting around the house.

Are Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Aldi open on Good Friday and Easter Monday?

EASTER’s always a busy time for UK supermarkets, whether you’re stocking up for a family roast or treating yourself to a few too many chocolate eggs.  

But with many stores running reduced hours over the Easter weekend, it’s worth checking ahead. So, when exactly will your favourite supermarket be open?

Aldi

Aldi is one of the cheapest supermarkets in the country, having won Which?’s Cheapest Supermarket of the Year for three years in a row.

The budget-friendly chain will remain open on Good Friday, which takes place on April 18, 2025.

The website states that its opening hours are from 8am to 10pm.

The popular budget supermarket will then shutter its doors for Easter Sunday on April 20, 2025.

However, Aldi will then re-open on Easter Monday, so that their workers can spend time with their families.

This year, Aldi’s got a mix of their own-brand Easter eggs, along with a few big-name favourites too.

You can pick up a Maltesers Milk Chocolate Medium Egg (96.5g) for £1.35, or go for something bigger like the Celebrations Large Egg (189g) or the Galaxy Minstrels Large Egg (204g), which are both priced at £3.45 each.

On their own, those prices are cheaper than some at Asda, but if you’re planning to buy a few, Asda’s four for £11.96 deal might actually work out better value.

M&S

This is not just Easter food, this is M&S Easter food.

According to YouGov’s 2024 poll, Marks & Spencer is the nation’s second favourite supermarket after Aldi.

The luxury brand is beloved for its food halls and wide range of options, including its hot cross buns and chocolate treats.

Stores will be closed on Easter Sunday, but open again on Easter Monday from 8am to 8pm. 

Opening times can vary by location though, so it’s best to check with your local store before heading out.

M&S isn’t really known for offering discounts on its Easter eggs, but it definitely delivers when it comes to indulgent chocolate treats. 

One standout is the Outrageously Chocolatey Custard Cream Biscuity Egg.

The huge square slab of chocolate is shaped like the classic biscuit with a layer of milk chocolate filled with biscuit pieces and a custard cream layer inside, priced at £12. 

There’s also the Marks and Spencer Collection Blond Egg with a salted caramel truffle-loaded base for £15, perfect if you’re after something a bit more luxurious.

Tesco has cornered the market when it comes to lunch, thanks to the runaway success of its £3.50 meal deals.

The supermarket’s opening hours over Easter give you a good chance to stock up on any last-minute food, snacks or drinks to see you through the long weekend. 

Stores will be closed on Easter Sunday, and while Easter Monday hours haven’t been confirmed yet, they’re expected to be reduced. 

Opening times can vary from store to store, so it’s always a good idea to check with your local branch.

Tesco’s got some cracking Easter deals on luxury eggs this year, but you’ll need a Clubcard to take advantage. 

For starters, the Tesco Finest 48% Côte d’Ivoire Dark Milk Easter Egg is down from £12 to £8 with a Clubcard. 

You can also grab a Kinder Surprise Giant Easter Egg (220g) for £12.50 instead of the usual £17.

If you’re a fan of Cadbury, there’s plenty on offer.

The large Mini Eggs egg, which comes with two bags of Mini Eggs, is just £2.45 with a Clubcard. 

Fancy a Crème Egg fix? A box of five is now £3, saving you 50p.

Smaller eggs like the Cadbury Mini Eggs 97g egg and the Dairy Milk Giant Buttons 96g egg are both down from £2 to £1.25. 

And if you’re going all out, extra-large eggs have been reduced from £6 to £4 for Clubcard holders.

Most Sainsbury’s stores will be open as usual in the lead-up to the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, so there’s no need to rush as you’ll have time to pick up any last-minute bits for family get-togethers. 

All stores will be closed on Easter Sunday, and they’ll be open from 8am to 8pm on Easter Monday. 

As with Tesco, local stores may vary their opening times so ask in your local branch about their Easter hours.

Sainsbury’s has some sweet Easter deals for Nectar card holders this year, with discounts on a range of eggs. 

The Taste the Difference Belgian Milk Chocolate Tiramisu XL Easter Egg, for example, is down from £10 to £8. 

You can also grab XL eggs like the Cadbury Mini Eggs 232g and the Dairy Milk with Caramel Bar 245g for £4.50 instead of £6. 

That said, if you’re planning to buy more than one, it might be worth checking out Morrisons as their two for £7 offer could save you a bit more.

Morrisons

Morrisons is the fourth biggest supermarket chain in the UK and is loved for its low prices.

The supermarket also serves 9 million customers every week and is even busier during holidays.

Thankfully, Easter shoppers will have plenty of chances to stock up on food and all those tasty springtime treats. 

Most stores will be open from 7am to 10pm on Good Friday, closed on Easter Sunday, and then back open from 7am to 8pm on Easter Monday. 

Ask for more details in your local branch.

Morrisons has a pretty great almost-BOGOF deal on selected extra-large Easter eggs, with big-name brands like Cadbury, Terry’s and Nestlé included. 

If you’ve got a loyalty card, you can grab one XL egg for £6 or pick up two for just £7.

As mentioned, if you’re buying more than one, it actually works out cheaper than Sainsbury’s, where XL eggs are £4.50 each.

Asda

You’ll have plenty of time to get your Easter shopping sorted at Asda, whether it’s last-minute extras or a change of food plans. 

Larger stores will be open as usual in the run-up to Easter Sunday, so there’s no rush and loads of time to pick up those all-important family chocolate eggs. 

Stores will be closed on Easter Sunday, and open from 7am to 7pm on Easter Monday.

Shoppers are advised to use the store locator tool on Asda’s website to check their local shop’s opening hours.

Asda’s got a great mix-and-match deal this Easter.

You can pick any four eggs from a selection of popular brands for just £11.96, which works out to around £2.99 each. 

These are the larger eggs too, and they come with at least one full-size chocolate treat. 

Think Galaxy Minstrels (204g) with two bags of Minstrels, a big Malteser Teasers egg with two full-size Teaser bars, or Cadbury’s Caramel egg that comes with a full-size Caramel bar.

If you’re planning an Easter egg hunt, Asda’s also got you covered  as they’ve got eight-pack boxes of small eggs from brands like Kit Kat and Smarties for £2.97, down from £3.98.

Co-op

As a convenience store, Co-op will be open over the Easter weekend.

However, on bank holidays, some branches might open a bit later or close a bit earlier than usual. 

If you’re in England or Wales, any larger Co-op stores (over 280 square metres) will be closed on Easter Sunday, while in Scotland, the bigger stores will still be open. 

Opening times can vary quite a bit depending on where you are, so it’s a good idea to check with your local store or have a quick look online before heading out.

Co-op’s got some cracking Easter deals this year, with big savings on favourite brands like Cadbury, Nestlé and Mars. 

If you’re a Co-op member, it’s worth checking your account for any personalised Easter egg offers that might have popped up. 

One of the standout deals is their £3.25 offer on large chocolate eggs with options like KitKat Chunky, Smarties and Celebrations.

They’ve also got a range of medium eggs going for just £1.75 each. 

We even spotted Maltesers, Cadbury, and a rather tempting Terry’s Chocolate Orange Minis Exploding Candy egg in the mix.

Waitrose

If you’re planning to treat yourself to something a bit fancier this Easter, you’ll be glad to hear that Waitrose will be open for most of the long weekend. 

Stores will be open from 8am to 8pm on both Good Friday and Easter Monday, with only Easter Sunday seeing them closed.

Shoppers are advised to check with their local store for specific Easter opening hours. 

Waitrose has some lovely Easter treats on offer this year, with up to a third off selected eggs for MyWaitrose members. 

The indulgent No.1 Milk Chocolate Flat Egg is now £12, down from £15. 

And if you fancy something a bit different, the decadent Ribbon Easter egg range is just £8 with a MyWaitrose card, down from £10. 

It comes in flavours like white chocolate and raspberry, or milk chocolate with toffee.
