From cute dresses to on-trend work attire, the supermarket fast-fashion range always hits the mark, and its summer sale rack is no exception.
One pair of jeans in particular that have caught the attention of fashion fans thanks to their discounted price are the Relaxed Denim Barrel Leg Jeans.
Originally priced at £24, the jeans - in khaki or white - are now an absolute steal for only £12 in the half price sale.
Describing them online, the Sainsbury's team say: "This pair of jeans come in a new season barrel leg.
"Designed in a mid rise, they feature a relaxed fit for a modern silhouette.
"Finished with classic pockets, belt loops and zip and button fastening."
The jeans come in sizes 8-22 and have short and tall options available to suit all heights.
Shoppers have already insisted they're the perfect shape for curvy bodies.
They've also hailed then back pockets for making bums look peachy.
And the khaki colour is the perfect transitional piece from summer to autumn wardrobes. White, too, is always a classy option in the colder weather paired with black.

If these colours aren't your style, however, the jeans also come in a classic denim or taupe. But they will set you back the full £24.
The jeans have quickly racked up a flurry of five-star reviews from delighted fashionistas who can't stop gushing about the flattering fit.
"Love these jeans, so comfortable and easy to wear", one gushed.
Someone else wrote: "Second pair I've purchased (sized down after weight loss). In sale - and bargain. Wear them nearly every day - spot on shape and on-trend. I'm in luxe women's retail - these jeans are same quality."
A third echoed: "This is now my third pair of these barrel leg jeans. They are so comfortable, and I love the colours (I have them in light denim, khaki, and taupe).
"I often get positive comments about them. They are true to size, and a flattering fit."
A fourth said: "This fit me better than most jeans, emphasising my waist and hour glass shape.
"I'm 6 ft tall and ordered the long, and they seem about the right length (as right as any jeans ever get). Have much enjoyed wearing these and looking at another colour way."
"Love the style and fit. Good back pockets that make your bum look nice", a fifth chimed in.
Meanwhile, a sixth added: "Very comfortable and only a slight barrel leg shape, they sit well on a curvier bod. Great wardrobe staple."
But if you're not ready to give up summer fashion just yet, the supermarket's got you covered with bargains there too.
Shoppers are going wild for a five-star Sainsbury's dress that's only £15, flatters pear shapes and makes curvy shoppers "feel confident".
As well as being purse-friendly, the dress looks strikingly similar to the Everett Linen Dress, which is priced at £298.
This makes the Tu dress a whopping £283 cheaper.
And a £26 frock that's perfect for summer getaways is flying off the rails.

I tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls – the tasty winner was £1.20 cheaper than M&S
My winners are impossible not to wolf down in one go THE BUN WOT WON IT I tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls – the tasty winner was £1.20 cheaper than M&S CINNAMON buns are rolling in the sweet taste of more success. Waitrose recently reported a surge of 381 per cent in online searches for them. Advertisement 9 Laura Stott has tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls Credit: Damien McFadden But if you don't want to pay over the odds for costly versions to go with your coffee in a shop, which supermarket's version is best to enjoy at home? Laura Stott tucked into a selection and gives her verdict. Danish Cinnamon Whirl x 2 , Sainsbury's bakery, £1.75 9 Sainsbury's offering seemed small compared to the others Credit: Damien McFadden SMELLING exactly as sweet and spiced as you want, sadly they are more like the Danish pastry part of their title than a traditional big bouncy bun. What you get is thinner and flatter puff pastry spirals with a brown sugar filling woven through. Advertisement read more on taste test THE LOW DOWN I tested best supermarket low alcohol booze - winning wine was like a pudding More cinnamon flavour would be welcome but what's there is evenly dispersed and the pastry is rich and buttery. Despite these positives, they seemed small compared to the others I tried and it is noticeable that they have no icing on top. Also very messy to eat as when you bite into it, the wheel shape quickly starts to unravel meaning your cake falls apart. Not very satisfying. Advertisement Rating: 2/5 'You can spend just 1p in Lidl & get free food' savvy shopper says as she nabs a bakery treat without paying every time' The Cake Shop Cinnamon Buns x2, Morrisons, £2.39 9 Morrisons' bun has way too much icing Credit: Damien McFadden VERY sweet and smothered with soft cheese icing. In fact, they are drizzled with so much topping, you can barely identify anything else. Advertisement I like icing on top but this was too much for me. It was so abundant it had dripped all over the whole pastry as well as all over the packet. Not only did it make these exceedingly messy to eat but you could barely taste the cinnamon spice that should have been the star of the show. The bits of the cake I could taste were nice enough and they are a good size, raised in the middle with a very generous serving. Advertisement But it was hard to get beyond the thick and gunky topping. Not cheap either, for supermarket own buns, these were noticeably pricey compared to others. Rating: 2/5 Cinnamon Buns x 2, Tesco, £1.80 9 The Tesco buns are generous in size with lots of height and volume Credit: Damien McFadden Advertisement VERY tasty buns from Tesco that are full of flavour. I thought they were just as enjoyable as anything you could buy from a fancy bakery. They are generous in size with lots of height and volume and covered in cream cheese icing. When you bite in they are soft, tasty and plump. Advertisement There is also a visible amount of brown sugary cinnamon running throughout and plenty of topping – but it is not so much that the treats become sickly. They are very sweet but they look lovely and smell delicious. They are a great price, too. Impossible not to wolf down in one go. Perfect with a cup of coffee in the sunshine for the cafe experience without the inflated cost. Advertisement Rating: 5/5 Cinnamon Buns x 2 Asda, £1.74 9 These are well balanced with a nice amount of icing Credit: Damien McFadden A LOVELY dark golden hue gives them that fresh bakery appeal that should start to make your mouth water. And when you tuck in, these are tasty, rich and generous with a generous portion of warming cinnamon filling, giving you a nice sugary hug for the ultimate comforting pick-me-up. Advertisement Well balanced with a nice amount of icing which is plentiful enough to ensure the buns are sticky and gooey – and there was quite a lot of the icing still stuck to the packaging! I'd happily buy these again if I fancied something sweet. Very well priced too, these won't blow the budget. Rating: 4/5 Advertisement Cinn-a-yum Buns x 6 M&S/ £3 9 These are smaller individually than others but they are designed to be bite-sized Credit: Damien McFadden I LIKED the tear-and-share style of these iced buns. They are smaller individually than others but they are designed to be bite-sized, it's not that you've been offered a stingy treat. The petite size makes them ideal for parties, or if you just want something sweet without indulging in a huge cake. Advertisement The cinnamon gives a good hit of flavour and sweetness with the demerara sugar. But they were rather dry and not as sticky and gooey as I like. The icing wasn't great either, it felt like a bit of an afterthought that had been quickly added on top. Nice as a little treat, though, or for a change in place of a biscuit or pud. Advertisement Rating: 2/5 The Daily Bakery Cinnamon Buns x2, Iceland, £1.50 9 These are well-shaped buns that look very appetising and don't disappoint Credit: Damien McFadden REALLY well priced and they taste very good, too. If sweet and sticky is your idea of heaven, you will love these. Each one has loads of cinnamon powder sprinkled on top so you can really smell and taste the spice when you open the packet. Advertisement Well-shaped buns that look very appetising and they don't disappoint. The pastry is rather dense but it is not to their detriment, it just makes them a bit more filling. Absolutely packed with cinnamon sugar filling too so you get your money's worth on the flavour and there was just enough icing to give the stickiness you want without being overwhelming and gunky. Very nice and extremely affordable. Advertisement Rating: 4/5 Cinnamon Bun x 1, Lidl bakery, 79p 9 Lidl's are extremely generous in size with plenty of height and a very gooey and generous icing Credit: Damien McFadden DENSE and yeasty with plenty of appeal when you look at it too. Very sticky and a dark golden brown colour from a thick layer of cinnamon sugar which also gives a lovely fresh aroma. Advertisement It tasted lovely and fresh, very treacly and rich with soft pastry and a crispy outer, alongside a plump bouncy feel in the mouth. Extremely generous in size with plenty of height and a very gooey and generous icing. This was probably the biggest bun of all the ones I tried so everything is amplified, from the amount of pastry on your plate to the cinnamon flavour in each bite. Perfect with a cuppa as a mid-afternoon pick me up. Advertisement Rating: 4/5 Village Bakery Cinnamon Buns x 2, Aldi, £1.49 9 These from Aldi are very different to all the other buns Credit: Damien McFadden VERY bizarre buns. A bit different in style to most and I wasn't a huge fan of the change. They don't seem anything like traditional cinnamon buns – instead they resemble the soft wholemeal rolls you might make a cheese sarnie with. Advertisement When you bite in, they are extremely sweet, heavily flavoured with cinnamon and a cream cheese American-style frosted filling. More like an iced bun, they are very sticky and sickly and I found the similarity to a brown bap a bit disconcerting. There's no textural notes either, everything is very mushy. Although they don't have the plate appeal, if it's just an affordable sticky sweet cinnamon treat you want, they'll do the job. Advertisement Very filling, too.

Tesco and M&S shoppers ditch wine for 'best flavour' 9 calorie drink loved by Sophie Habboo
TRIP's Wild Strawberry become the biggest food and drink release in Europe on TikTok Shop - now, shoppers can save 55% on the tipple It's not at all uncommon for many Brits to pour a glass of wine or grab a beer after a long day at work. However, a new supermarket beverage has seen shoppers ditch the booze in favour of an alcohol-free alternative - and we've found a way to get it better than half-price. TRIP is a brand that's been gaining traction for their sparkling beverages, with influencers and celebrities such as Sophie Habboo, Millie Mackintosh and Grace Beverley all heaping praise on the alcohol-free tipple. And the newest flavour, Wild Strawberry, is already generating buzz on social media. Coming in a pastel-pink can, it's been hailed 'gorgeous' and 'refreshing', particularly for summer. Many have said it's helped them to cut down on their weekly alcohol intake, too, making it ideal for designated drivers, sober-curious shoppers or anyone looking for a low-calorie alternative to alcohol this summer. Made with sparkling water, fermented grape juice concentrate and fruit juices, each can of the Wild Strawberry beverage contains nine calories - significantly less than a can of Coca-Cola, which contains 139. It's also infused with magnesium and botanicals like lion's mane, lemon balm, and chamomile, designed to help drinkers wind down and relax. While available at major supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose, M&S, Selfridges, TRIP is currently offering customers 55% off their multipacks on their own website. Usually £48 for a pack of 24, shoppers who use the code SUMMER55 can bag them for £23.76 when they subscribe and save, which is less than £1 per can. TRIP Wild Strawberry Product Description Elsewhere, Dash sparkling water has launched a new cherry flavour and customers can get 12 cans for £15.99 or £12.99 on subscription. The two calorie drink is made using wonky cherries with no sugar or sweeteners for a healthy soft drink that's refreshing and 'delicious'. Alternatively, there's the cheekily named G Spot, produced by a company founded by Sex Education actress and 'Want' author Gillian Anderson. They're said to be a 'clean, bold alternative to sugary energy drinks'. The caffeine-free, low sugar sparkling blend is made with botanicals designed to help reduce tiredness and fatigue. As well as having a hefty discount, TRIP has teamed up with the mental wellbeing app, Calm. Shoppers can unlock a free three-month Calm membership, delivering access to sleep stories, meditations, and breathing exercises. It's pretty safe to say that the new flavour has proven popular, becoming the biggest food and drink release in Europe on TikTok Shop and becoming the number one selling drink on the platform. It's also been racking up a number of reviews on the TRIP website, with one comment reading: 'Lovely flavour and helps me relax in the evenings instead of a couple of glasses of wine.' 'Love this flavour, tastes of strawberry but isn't sickly like a lot of strawberry flavoured things,' said another, while a third added: 'Such a summery taste, so refreshing and chilled me out on a beautiful sunny day.' One person commented on how it's 'Not a very strong strawberry taste' saying that it was 'quite weak'. But others disagree, with one saying it was the 'best flavour yet'. Another wrote: 'My favourite TRIP so far - tastes delicious, with a really natural flavour. Helps me unwind before bed - no need for a glass of wine now.' A Trustpilot reviewer complained about the cost, commenting: 'The drinks taste great but are expensive if not on sale or special offer. Delivery was very slow.' Another shopper said: 'Having tried the other flavours of Mindful Blend drinks, this one is by far my favourite. So thirst quenching and amazing for summer instead of alcohol. I've cut down my alcohol intake massively thanks to Mindful Blend and I'm so happy I now have a new flavour I can add to my fridge.' Celebrities, too, have been enjoying the drink. In fact, Sophie Habboo loved the brand so much with a can often in her hand during her Wednesdays podcast, that last year she invested into TRIP. She told her followers: 'I've been a huge fan of TRIP for a while now - @wednesdayspodcast listeners you will have seen me with a TRIP in my hand long before they reached out about working together. Their drinks are a game-changer, bringing calm and balance into busy days.' Millie Mackintosh is also a fan, having shared a video of the new Wild Strawberry earlier this month. She described them as: 'Refreshing, slightly tart, and exactly what I want on a hot day when I'm not drinking but still want something that feels a bit special.'

I tested the best supermarket low alcohol booze – light & luscious winning wine was like pudding in a glass
Almost 40 per cent of the drinks we consume today are now a low- or no-ABV option THE LOW DOWN I tested the best supermarket low alcohol booze – light & luscious winning wine was like pudding in a glass Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALMOST half of Gen Z never have more than one glass of wine a night, while a further 39 per cent rarely have more than one, new research shows. And three out of four Brits of all ages now say they are more conscious of their tipple levels. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Drinks expert Helena Nicklin gives her verdict on lower ABV drinks Credit: Oliver Dixon 9 Almost half of Gen Z never have more than one glass of wine a night Credit: Getty Almost 40 per cent of the drinks we consume today are now a low- or no-ABV option. Luckily if you fancy a bevvie but want to cut down on your alcohol intake there's loads of non-boozy glugs to try. Many wine, beer and even spirits are now available in 'mid-strength' options for those who wish to cut down the units while still clinking a glass. But which lower ABV drinks deliver and which disappoint? Here, drinks expert Helena Nicklin gives her verdict. 19 Crimes Mid-strength Red 75cl, 7% ABV, £8, Sainsbury's - 2/5 WHERE do I start with this bottle of lower ABV red from the 19 Crimes brand? Well, on the plus side, this is indeed a lower alcohol wine at 7% ABV so it ticks the box for anyone who wants a glass of red, but less boozy. 9 19 Crimes Mid-strength Red 75cl scored 2 out of 5 Credit: Sainsburys However… it is also a great example of why you just can't simply de-alcoholise a normal wine and leave it. Why? Because it will taste unbalanced, acidic and cooked – just like this one. Add to that some fake-tasting vanilla and that's what you get here. Why Guinness tastes better in Ireland It's expensive too, as you are paying for the same name. Not the best! Small Beer: The Original 350ml, 2.1% ABV, £2.20, Majestic - 5/5 THE boys at the Small Beer brewery, located in South London, created this brand years ago with the sole aim of making properly drinkable, lower alcohol 'session' beers – so they had to be good. That's a promising way to start when you want to create something decent for drinkers who want lower booze levels to sip – and the results are super. 9 Small Beer: The Original scored full marks Credit: Majestic This perky Pilsner-style brew is light and hoppy, with lots of flavour. It is seriously refreshing and just right for a light buzz without the bad head. Well worth the few extra pennies, especially when compared to some other low-beer brands. Beavertown Satellite Super Session IPA 330ml, 2.8% ABV, £1.56 (£6.25 x 4), Sainsbury's - 3/5 BEAVERTOWN is a great brand for reliable beers of all shapes and styles. This brewery has a wonderfully creative image and this eye-catching can offers an IPA with a lot of flavour punch – from citrussy bitter hops to fresh florals, which make up for the lower ABV. 9 Beavertown Satellite Super Session IPA scored 3 out of 5 Credit: Sainsburys It might be too soapy and punchy flavour-wise for some drinkers, but traditional IPA drinkers should love it. What's great about this is you can just pick it up and chuck it in your trolley when you are in the supermarket and it won't cost you a fortune. So, it makes drinking 'low' easy and accessible. Summer in a glass! Mid-strength Val De Loire Blanc 75cl, 8.4% ABV, £7.75, Sainsbury's Taste The Difference - 4/5 SAINSBURY'S was the first supermarket to create its own range of mid-strength wines, and this tangy little number is lower on the alcohol – but to drink it's fab. Reduced-alcohol vino doesn't have the best reputation, but this one is made with the prettily perfumed, local grolleau gris grape variety from France's Loire region. 9 Mid-strength Val De Loire Blanc scored 4 out of 5 Credit: Sainsburys The Loire is known for its naturally lighter wines. In the glass, it delivers a tipple that is crisp, clean and fruity. Served well-chilled and you can hardly tell it's a lower ABV. A great bottle if you like the idea of a glass of proper wine in the evening or at a party but don't want a high booze count. McGuigan Mid Rosé 7% ABV, £4.50, Tesco - 5/5 THIS middle-strength rosé from Aussie winemakers McGuigan has been hit and miss in the past, but this year's version is the best so far – so this summer is the time to sip it. Slightly off dry, it comes across as very fruity with notes of summer fruit and strawberry jelly. 9 McGuigan Mid Rosé is perfect for poolside parties in the sun Credit: Tesco Light and luscious, it's perfect for poolside parties in the sun. Serve very cold with a handful of strawberries and it's practically pudding! A great way to enjoy a lovely glass of 'pool plonk' without going overboard on the alcohol. It's a nice daytime option too, if you are having a bottle with lunch. What's not to like? Quarter Proof Vodka Light 70cl, 15% ABV, £22.99 on offer, Amazon - 3/5 LOWER ABV spirits are becoming more common but opting for big brand 'low or no' versions of their bestsellers is not always your only option. The clue is in the name with Quarter Proof, a firm that makes spirits which are exactly that – one fourth of the ABV compared to the original mainstays. 9 Quarter Proof Vodka Light scorred 3 out of 5 Credit: Amazon This lower-proof vodka grain spirit splits the critics – at just 15%, many ask why wouldn't you just pour a smaller measure of the proper stuff into your glass – but this has a tad more flavour than most vodkas. This means you don't feel too short changed. There's something luxurious about pouring from a proper bottle too. Worth a go if this is your tipple. Hayman's London Light Gin 70cl, 12.5% ABV, £18.99, Tesco - 5/5 IF G&T is your favourite tipple but you want to trim the ABV level of what you measure over ice then this is the spirit I would recommend. The gin masters at Hayman's came up with this light gin concept way before it was trendy and, honestly, it works brilliantly – and it's cheaper than regular gin, too. 9 Hayman's London Light Gin scored full marks Credit: Tesco The key here is doubling down on the juniper and botanicals so that when you mix it with tonic, you really have no idea that the ABV is lighter. You get all that gorgeous gin taste, it pairs perfectly and it's very pretty too. Pour this into your balloon glass and it'll hit the spot even for hardened gin connoisseurs. The pretty packaging also means it makes a great gift.
