The Lidl pool floats also come in a range of fun designs.
Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared: 'They have all shapes, we got the strawberry, avocado and ice lolly shape.'
She also uploaded a photo of the inflatable strawberry float, and then showed it in action all blown up in her paddling pool, which she had bought on Very.

The bargain find looked perfect for keeping kids entertained over the summer holidays.
It could also be used if you love sun bathing with a book or cool frozen drink.
Her post has racked up numerous likes, and many people said they had either rushed to stock up on the floats or were desperate to get them.
One person said they had bought one for their recent holiday to save cash when they were out there.

POOL SAFETY
Swimming instructor Nikki Scarnati previously went viral after begging parents not to buy their kids blue swimming costumes.
She said the colour made it almost impossible to see youngsters playing in the water.
The parent also urged mums and dads not to wrap their kids up tightly in a towel after going for a dip as it restricts their limbs.
If they were then to fall into a pool, there is a high chance they could drown, she added.

Shoppers can find a trendy pair of sandals from the middle of the aisle for just a fraction of the price of the original version from M&S. 2 The Esmara Ladies Brown Sandals will soon be available from the Lidl middle aisle for just £7.99 Credit: Lidl 2 The Suede Buckle Footbed Mules from the M&S Collection are currently available for £29.50 Credit: M&S Whether you're planning to stroll the streets of a sunny destination or simply want something to slip your feet into on the way to the pool, these shoes are worth the investment. The Esmara Ladies' Brown Sandals will be available for just £7.99 from Lidl. Product details These leather mules from LWG-certified tanneries have moulded footbeds for extra comfort. These EVA soles are also lightweight to ensure all day wear without issue. And the shoe straps also feature buckles for an easily adjusted fit. These sandals are available in women's sizes four through 7.5. Shoppers can find these from the Lidl middle aisle from Sunday, July 27. M&S version A similar version is available at Marks & Spencer for a slightly higher price. The Suede Buckle Footbed Mules are available for £29.50, in both black and khaki. "Add some luxe texture to your favourite sunny day looks with these suede mules," said the product description. Primark's new £10 summer top is the perfect & Other Stories dupe "The easy slip-on design features comfy footbeds set on practical low heels for all-day comfort." Manufacturers described the shoes as "effortlessly stylish" and "easy-to-wear". These shoes are available in women's sizes three through eight. The sandals have received an average rating of 4.6 stars out of five from M&S customers. Shoppers confirmed that the shoes fit true to size. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. More on fashion buys Plus, the £12 jeans available from Sainsbury's, they're perfect for summer and autumn. Another Sainsbury's fashion buy looks fresh out of the 1920s. The retailer also has a £26 dress that shoppers say is perfect for summer getaways. And an £11 Tesco dress that works "year round" and is super flattering around the arms. Another Tesco printed midi dress is available for £12, it disguises your tummy and is perfect for summer.

Lidl's £7.99 Middle Aisle buy will save you hundreds on a new summer wardrobe next year – and it's perfect for delicates
LIDL is selling a nifty gadget that will save you hundreds on buying a new summer wardrobe. With the kids now officially broken up for summer, many families will likely be getting ready to jet off on well-earned breaks. And whilst we all love treating ourselves to a new outfit or two to wear on holiday, with the cost of living crisis continuing to bite, this isn't a feasible option for many. Lidl fabric shaver Landing in Lidl stores next Thursday, July 31, the Philips Fabric Shaver promises to "extend the life of garments and other fabrics". The £7.99 tool revives old clothes by removing pills, fuzz and bobbles, so your outfits look brand new again. Its safe for use on all fabric types, including delicate ones, and has three hole sizes, to tackle all sizes of pills. The large head allows you to work quickly, meaning you can get through your entire wardrobe in just one sitting. Plus, it comes with a removable lint container, making it super easy to empty and clean. The bargain buy will be located in the Middle Aisle of your local Lidl, alongside a whole host of other bargain gadgets and seasonal products. Lidl drops new Middle Aisle products every Thursday and Sunday, however, they are only available while stocks last, so you better be quick. More Middle Aisle bargains From today, July 24, a huge range of kitchen gadgets have arrived in Lidl stores. That includes a dupe for the Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker. The slushy maker can blend ice so that it is either fine or coarse, allowing you to customise your drinks. It also comes with a 1.1 litre blending capacity which means it is perfect for making many drinks at once. The discounter's take on the device will cost £19.99 for Lidl Plus members or £24.99 for those not signed up for the free loyalty scheme. The pricey branded version costs £350, so you can save up to £330 if you manage to get your hands on Lidl's version. Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock. Elsewhere, shoppers can also pick up a dupe for the Ninja Double Stack 2-Drawer Air Fryer. Its Salter 9L VertiCook View Air Fryer comes with two trays that can hold 4.5L worth of food each and costs £79.99. The branded version currently costs £199.99 down from £229.99 on the official Ninja website. The German discounter has also launched the Parkside Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner, which is £160 cheaper than Screwfix's version, Its multi-functionality allows it to be used in your house, garage or warehouse as it comes with a wide range of accessories and nozzles. It is ideal for use as a dust extractor when sawing or sanding as it picks up finer dust particles. The vacuum can also take care of your gardening needs as it has a blower mode which will come in handy in Autumn when the leaves start falling.
