If you're looking for a way to perfect a clean and manicured lawn, this garden item is said to be worth the investment.
Lidl is currently selling the Parkside Electric Lawn Trimmer for just £24.99.
And this handy buy is even cheaper for Lidl Plus app users, at just £19.99.
It is designed for "quick and clean lawn trimming", even in hard-to-reach areas.
With a 300W motor, the gadget features line spools that can be changed without tools.
It also includes a protective hood with a trimmer line cutter, as well as an ergonomic handle.
The gadget has an integrated power cable strain relief for the 10 metre power cable.
This buy, which hits the Lidl middle aisle on Thursday, May 15, boasts a cutting diameter of 23 centimetres.
The trimmer is similar to a Bosch buy, which has a slightly higher price.
Bosch's Universal GrassCut 18V-26-500 is currently available for £100.
B&M shoppers are giving their gardens a summer glow up with £12 bargain
This buy is described as "flexible and comfortable" with a telescopic height adjustment.
However, this item has a lower wattage than the Lidl gadget, meaning it may not be as ideal for larger gardens.
The tilting head guarantees precise trimming under benches and hard-to-reach spots, and helps to protect your flowerbeds.
Unlike the Lidl buy, this gadget is fully cordless, making it easier to manage.
According to manufacturers, the battery life on this buy has the capacity to trim the edges of up to six tennis courts.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
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.
Here are some that we recommend: 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 the 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. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Remember to compare prices
It is important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for.

UK's cheapest supermarket for 76 essentials revealed as Aldi LOSES top spot after 20 months
Check how to cut the costs on your grocery shop BASKET CASE UK's cheapest supermarket for 76 essentials revealed as Aldi LOSES top spot after 20 months Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE cheapest supermarket for a basket of 76 items in July has been revealed - and Aldi has been knocked off the top spot. The latest analysis from Which? had crowned the discounter the cheapest for the past 20 months. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Lidl has been named the cheapest supermarket for 76 items Credit: Getty The research compares the average price of a shop consisting of popular groceries at eight of the UK's biggest supermarkets. In July, Lidl was crowned the cheapest supermarket, where the groceries cost £128.40 on average across the month. Members of its loyalty scheme Lidl Plus could save a further 40p. Meanwhile, Aldi was 85p more expensive at £129.25 on average. The list of 76 items included both branded and own-brand items, such as Birds Eye peas, Hovis bread, milk and butter. The analysis includes special offer prices and loyalty prices where applicable, but not multibuys. Meanwhile, Tesco Clubcard members would have paid £141.92 on average which is £13.92 more than at Lidl with a loyalty card, while without a Clubcard, the Tesco shop cost £145.10. For those using a Sainsbury's Nectar card, July's shopping list of items averaged £144.21. Without a Nectar card, the same items at Sainsbury's cost £149.55. Five tips to feed your family for less and save on your supermarket shop Over the same month, Asda retained its place as one of the UK's cheapest supermarkets for the longer list of 192 items at £474.12. It was cheaper than Tesco with a Clubcard by £7.47 (£481.59). Waitrose was the most expensive on average, with the bigger shop costing £538.33 - a difference of £64.21 compared to Asda. Waitrose was also the most expensive supermarket for a smaller list of items this month, totalling £170.91 on average. That's a difference of £42.51 compared to Lidl (with a loyalty card). Aldi and Lidl are not included in the comparison of the bigger list as they have a smaller range of products. Reena Sewraz, Which? retail editor, said: 'Lidl has bagged the top spot as the UK's cheapest supermarket for the first time in 20 months, according to our latest price analysis, showing that it can beat Aldi even without loyalty prices. 'The bigger trolley of groceries shows that Asda continues to be the cheapest non-discounter supermarket - beating membership prices at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons. 'Households are still contending with high food prices but our analysis shows it pays to shop around, simply choosing one supermarket over another could save you 25%.' A Waitrose spokesperson said: "Our customers know that there's more to great value than just price, and we combine excellent quality, industry-leading animal welfare standards and fantastic customer service." The Sun also contacted Aldi for comment.

THE cheapest supermarket for a basket of 76 items in July has been revealed - and Aldi has been knocked off the top spot.

How to save money on your food shop Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year: Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price. Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30. Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash. Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public. Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio. Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount. Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses. Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap. But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here. Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds. "Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands. The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.

Spotify to hike prices again for millions worldwide next month – here's how much extra YOU'LL need to pay
The streaming giant is looking to improve its margins CHANGING THEIR TUNE Spotify to hike prices again for millions worldwide next month – here's how much extra YOU'LL need to pay Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SPOTIFY is set to hike its prices again for their millions of worldwide listeners next month. The price of its monthly premium individual subscription will increase from September in select markets. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Spotify has been expanding its library of content to attract more subscribers Credit: Getty The Swedish streaming giant made the announcement on Monday, with subscribers expected to receive an email update explaining the price rise over the next month. Premium individual subscriptions will rise from 10.99 euros to 11.99 euros per month. This will occur in markets including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. Spotify achieved its first annual profit for 2024, which can be linked to its previous price increases, as well as cost-cutting efforts in recent years. The company's shares have jumped by nearly 8 per cent this year, and they have gained about 40 per cent so far this year. The number of monthly active users and premium subscribers also increased over the second quarter. However, the company reported a loss during the period due to high taxes related to employee salaries. The price hike comes just months after Spotify showed developments on its "lossless audio" feature which is expected to make bills more expensive. It hopes to make songs sound even better for an extra fee for listeners. Last week, it was also revealed the company is making strict changes to its music app that could see some accounts deleted due to new UK age checks. Spotify's new AI feature lets you ask it to make any playlist for you – but there's a trick to finding it in the app Spotify has started showing popups asking people to confirm their age to access certain content made for adults, such as 18+ music videos. Users can confirm their age by sharing a selfie or their ID, a move which is compliance with new laws of the Online Safety Act. It is designed to protect children from easily stumbling across inappropriate material on the internet. A growing number of creators also are said to be joining the Spotify Partner Program. The programme is designed to help offer podcast creators more options for monetising their content. It has has also enabled the significant increase in video content on the platform for subscribers, according to CEO Daniel Ek. SAVE MONEY ON SPOTIFY One of the best ways to save money on Spotify is sharing. With a Premium Family subscription, you and five others can share the cost. You each get your own Spotify account with your own playlists and everything else, it's just billed from one place. To use Premium Family you have to all be living under the same roof. The plan currently costs £19.99. If you split that six ways, you're looking at £3.33 each, which is a lot less than paying for your own individual subscription at £11.99. Image credit: Getty
