How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
Keep bugs out of your pool this summer
One of the easiest ways to keep bugs out of your pool is to cover it with a dark sheet (like bin bags) when it's not in use.
This can also help keep the water warm for kids as well.
Bug traps around the pool can also be useful.
To naturally stop bugs from coming around you can plant such as lavender, basil or mint as they hate the smell.

'I've never lost luggage with Apple Air tags available at cheap price for Amazon Prime Day'
Bluetooth trackers, the minuscule tech devices that allow you to monitor the whereabouts of your possessions, whether it's suitcases, handbags, wallets, or passports, are becoming increasingly popular. Apple's well-liked AirTag has seen a price drop thanks to an early Amazon Prime Day discount - it's a product I always recommend to my friends and family, having used it on trips to France, New York, Italy, and Botswana. Apple's AirTag utilises the Apple Find My Network, enabling users to track its movements. Normally priced at €40.54 for one, it's currently available for €32.42 on Amazon. This early 2025 Prime Day discount makes it more affordable than on Apple's own website, reports the Mirror. The trackable device is straightforward to set up for iOS users. Once the AirTag is activated, simply bring it close to your iPhone or iPad and a 'connect' notification will appear. Then assign a name to it (which is what you'll be tracking) and register it with your Apple ID. I did this back in 2022, and since using an AirTag for travel, I've never misplaced my luggage. The AirTag emits a personal network that can be detected by other nearby AirTag users. It will send its location to these users who can then share the location with you, anonymously. Apple aficionados may already be familiar with the 'Find My' app, and the AirTag is tracked in a similar manner to how you'd locate a misplaced phone during the 'Find My iPhone' era. With the Find My app, I can instantly see where my bags are and when they were last at that location - a feature I find particularly useful when boarding a plane, as it allows me to check if my luggage has been loaded. However, AirTags do have a drawback for many travellers and mobile users, as they are exclusive to iOS, leaving Android users out in the cold. This is where competing devices like the Tile tag and select models from the Chipolo brand can prove beneficial. Chipolo, Tile and Samsung alternatives The Tile by Life360 is available for purchase on Amazon for €40.53. A slight uptick compared to the currently discounted AirTag. Like the AirTag, it also tracks items it's attached to via an app, but instead of immediately seeing the tracker's location upon opening the app (as with the AirTag), you have to select 'location history'. I've previously put the Tile tracker head-to-head with the AirTag while jetting off on holiday, and it does provide a slightly more accurate location on the map, offering a view of nearby shops and attractions that iOS lacks. Another alternative is Chipolo. The Chipolo Card Spot, which is only compatible with iPhones, is currently reduced to €22 and offers a slimmer option that can easily fit into purses and wallets. During a recent getaway, I took the opportunity to trial Chipolo's CARD Spot. Its slender design, akin to a bank card, is ideal for tucking into a wallet, passport, or ID, much like the Tile by Life360 or Eufy SmartTrack Card. However, I chose to pop it in my suitcase pocket for tracking during my flight. There's a snag, though, as it relies solely on Apple's Find My network, not its own app. Retailing at €24.32 in the sale, the CARD Spot offers features that distinguish it from the AirTag and Tile pack. But, if you're an Android user, this gadget won't be suitable due to its lack of compatibility.
