Shoppers rush to nab outdoor pool for just £45 in Lidl – it's big enough for the whole family but you need to be quick
DIVE IN The bargain won't be around forever so act fast IT'S weekends like this that many of us would kill for our own swimming pool. And this weekend you could be in luck as shoppers are nabbing exactly that for under £50 at Lidl. 2 2 Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK, one mum shared her hot weather find. She revealed that she had picked up the Crivit Frame Pool from the German supermarket on special offer down from £69.99. Explaining how she got more money off, she wrote: 'Absolute bargain considering the best way 10ft pool is currently on offer for £100 online 'Was uploaded yesterday save £15 on the 10ft frame pool using the Lidl plus app, I managed to get an extra £5 off today so got it for £45, comes with a pump absolute bargain!' Fellow bargain-hunters were quick to gush over her find, with many agreeing it was an excellent find. Commenting on the post, one wrote: 'I've had one for last few summers and one of the best items I've ever bought for my kids.' 'I've had that pool it's ace,' added another, while a third wrote, 'It's such a bargain. I managed to get one today.' However, it seems that not everyone was full of praise with some group members describing the 10ft pool as 'small.' But the mum was quick to clap-back at her haters. She wrote: 'It's a 10ft pool for all those saying it's small 😅 it took around 3hrs just under to fill up (depends on your hose pressure I guess) I bought a cover on Amazon for a 10ft pool and fits perfectly, you can also check stock in shops on the Lidl website.' Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel 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. 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.

Cheapest shops to buy festival and camping essentials this week and prices start at just £2.50
IF you're taking advantage of the good weather by heading to a festival or camping this week, you'll need to make sure you have the essentials. But costs can add up when it comes to camping - especially if you've already forked out for a pricey festival ticket. Luckily there's currently some great deals around to help you save on your shop. The Sun has rounded them up for you... Argos Pro Action 2 Person 1 Room Dome Tent Price: £18.50 Of course, the first thing you'll need is a tent. Argos is selling this two-person tent for just £18.50 currently (it's in the sale, down from £25). The description on the website says it can be put up in about 10 minutes. It has air vents to provide ventilation, a window and a lantern hanging point. Reviewers say it is "brilliant", with one person saying: "Bought for camping, easy to use and kept us dry." However another person said it was a little bit small for two adults. Lidl Crivit Blanket Style Lightweight Sleeping Bag Price: £14.99, or £9.99 with Lidl Plus 6 This one is a steal at under a tenner if you have a Lidl Plus card. The sleeping bag has been temperature tested and can be used even at lows of -4C. It comes in a blanket style for "better freedom of movement and a comfortable sleeping position", Lidl's website says. Plus, it can be used as a blanket when unzipped. The product is in store now but it's one of the supermarket's middle aisle buys so you'll need to get it before it's gone. Argos Pro Action Folding Camping Chair Price: £6.50 This one is another Argos bargain buy. The camping chair comes in a carry bag so can be folded away for easy storage. There is a strap on the carry bag that makes it easier to transport too. The chair comes with a built-in drinks holder so it's perfect for either the beach, garden or camping. Reviewers have raved about it, with one saying: "This is a very comfortable chair and ideal for keeping in the car for whenever you need it. "Great value at £10 each and we bought two for the bargain price of £14." Another simply said: "Comfortable, fairly light and good value." Bar-Be-Quick Instant Barbecue Price: £2.50 6 Are you really camping if you don't have a BBQ? Of course there are plenty of options for portable BBQs, but if you're looking to save the most cash then you could pick up one of these. The Bar-Be-Quick Instant Barbecue is cheapest in Morrisons at £2.50 but you can also pick it up in Asda for £3. It's only one use so it's a good option if you're not planning to BBQ much in the future. However if you are wanting to cook on the BBQ grill more regularly it might work out more cost-effective to buy a small portable BBQ. This one is beach safe and already comes with charcoal. It burns for up to one hour and can feed between two to four people. Aldi Premium Camping Storage Box Price: £6.99 Campers wanting to keep their belongings organised might want to try this one from Aldi. The handy cases come in camouflage-friendly green or grey. The product description reads: "A camping must have to keep everything neat and tidy. "Use the boxes to transport your belongings, then fold down and store away easy when not in use." The design folds down completely flat when it's not in use and has two pockets for smaller items. Three camping tips from an expert David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about how to make a camping trip run smoothly. When visiting any campsite this summer it's important to make sure you're not making simple mistakes that could ruin your holiday. Check your tent David recommends putting your tent up a couple of weeks before you're due to travel to give you enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts. He told Sun Online Travel: 'You'd be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents." Test the ground Picking a good spot to pitch your tent is difficult, with lots of things to consider. One of those should be the condition of the ground you're putting your tent on top of, according to David. He said: 'Once you've found the perfect spot, test the ground with your pegs before you commit to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough." Don't nap in your tent It may seem the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent could end badly, if it's done at the wrong time of the day. David explained: "If the sun's shining and it's hot inside your tent - don't do it! "One of our friends nodded off in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up at the medical tent with heatstroke." Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well ventilated.

Lidl is selling a £4 pool must-have for your summer holiday & it's £8 cheaper than a John Lewis version
FROM sunny holidays to daily trips to the local pool planned, there's no better way to cool off this summer than taking a dip. With a budget-friendly buy from the Lidl middle aisle, you can enhance your swimming experience even further. 3 This handy item makes your pool time more relaxing, and it can be easily thrown into your towel bag this summer. If you enjoy floating on your back and lapping up the sun, this buy may be for you. The Blue Crivit Water Hammock is available for just £3.99 from the middle aisle. It is described as a "comfortable lying surface made of soft mesh for cooling off in the water". Simply inflate the two roll-up air chambers on either side and lie back and enjoy. This hammock is designed to be "flexible and comfortable" when used in water. And you don't have to worry about your other pool items prodding the hammock in your bag as it comes with one repair patch. The maximum weight for users is 100kg while the hammock measure 120 cm by 72cm when inflated. As with most middle aisle buys, this item comes with a three-year warranty. Water hammocks have proved a popular summer accessory, with John Lewis also jumping on the trend. The clever way you can ensure your paddling pool is kept warm However, the Swim Essentials Inflatable Water Hammock with Tropical Leaves is slightly pricier, at £12. Be sure to use these inflatable buys in pool settings only or under supervision. Flotation devices can be dangerous when used on open waters as currents can cause unnoticed drifting. The water hammocks are recommended for children aged six and older. You can also pick up a budget buy from Home Bargains that will keep your children entertained in the pool all summer. Swimming safety advice Experts have revealed some of their top advice for both adults and kids heading to the water this summer: How to stay safe at the beach Gareth Morrison, Head of Water Safety at the RNLI said: "If you find yourself being swept out to sea in a rip, try to relax and float until you are free from the rip and you can then swim to safety. "If you see someone else in danger, alert a lifeguard or call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard." How to stay safe at the swimming pool Tiny Hearts Education, former paramedic and CEO Nikki Jurcutz said: "Always put your little one in bright or contrasting colours that would be easy to find in an emergency. "It only takes 20 seconds to drown, little tips like this could save a life". An Auqabliss spokesperson added: ' Swimming toys such as noodles, dive rings, floaties and beach balls can be dangerous if left in the pool. ' Children may try to grab these from the pool's edge and fall in." How to stay safe at a waterpark Ali Beckman, Puddle Ducks Technical Director, said: "Never send a child down the slide on their own, not only are they going to be entering the slide pool area independently, they then have to exit the pool and wait for an adult. "And wave pools should be avoided until your child is really confident with water going over their faces and you know they are able to regain their feet independently. ' Waterparks are often very busy places and it's easy to lose sight of a child in a split second." 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.
