I found a giant blow-up outdoor cinema screen from Aldi for a bargain – it's great for summer movies & footie matches
A SHOPPER has found the perfect way to turn your garden into an at-home 'Glastonbury' or outdoor cinema - and it's all thanks to an Aldi item. The bargain supermarket is currently selling an Inflatable Movie Screen, which looks perfect for watching films outdoors over summer. 5 5 5 It could also be used to screen sporting games with friends and family. The blow-up device is currently being sold for £59.99 and is easy to install. A shopper shared how they had popped into their local Aldi for milk and bread rolls and walked away with the fun purchase. Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, they shared snaps of the movie screen in their garden. They wrote: 'Don't be fooled by the tiny box this comes in. 'Trust me these are massive if you're blonde like me & old skool the measurements on the box meant nothing. 'So I thought as it;s wet outside I'd put it up indoors to see how big it is. 'You could use this at Glastonbury its that fudging big! '£59.99 in Aldi today, I only went in for milk & bread rolls.' Many people were impressed by the purchase and rushed the comments to give their view. Aldi is selling a home organizing essential for just $29.99 – and it's $46 cheaper than the Home Depot version One said: 'I need this.' Another added: 'Should get one for camping.' And a third commented: ' Im hoping no one buys these and then I can get 1 really cheap in the sale! Me an hubby have a plan! 'Go camping set it up with a zombie film on in the woods, wait for ppl to walk past.' SCREEN DEAL To go with this screen, for a limited time, you can snap up the Yoton Mini Projector, originally priced at £56.99, on sale for just £34.39. Amazon is always a go-to spot for grabbing affordable tech, and this mini projector is no exception. Right now, it's sitting pretty at number two on Amazon's best-selling projectors list, and it's easy to see why. The Yoton Mini Projector is currently on sale for just £34.39, down from its usual £56.99 price tag. While it's already marked down to £42.99, you can knock off even more thanks to a generous 20% coupon. But don't let the grass grow, this deal disappears after June 19th, so time's ticking if you want to bag it at this price. With over 1,000 units sold in the past month, it's clear that shoppers are loving this little gadget. It's hardly surprising, though, with summer here, the long days and warm evenings have everyone looking for ways to make the most of the season. 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.

Tesco shopper reveals how to get ‘hidden' coupons and freebies including £21 Gillette razor
TESCO shoppers have said they have found hidden freebies through the major supermarket's loyalty app. Customers have raved about the free items they have managed to get their hands on through the Tesco Clubcard app, including free toiletries. 2 2 The deals are available through the app's coupon feature, which lets shoppers earn rewards and freebies when they spend. Shoppers have shared their bargains on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, where one said: 'Tesco Clubcard have just given me a coupon for a free razor worth £21. 'I encourage you to check your Clubcard Coupons regularly. I had been checking daily for weeks and nothing, then suddenly I got 11 coupons on the app. 'Double points on shop, 50 points for this and that, however this free item is the most impressive.' Another shopper said: 'I got a free Oral B toothpaste and £6 off a £40 shop the other day. I hardly look at coupons when in store but glad I did!' Meanwhile, a third said: 'Got 4 coupons from money off to extra Clubcard points but had a 5th offer come thru today for extra points after I'd done my order and will run out before next order… only ever get 5 offers.' But others have said they have not been so lucky. One said: 'I spend an absolute fortune on tesco and never get anything. 'My friend goes in now and again and gets loads x.' Meanwhile, another said: 'I got 10% off shaving foam if it helps.' TOP TESCO BUYS Tesco has said the coupons in its app are sent to customers based on their shopping habits. To get the vouchers you need to head to the My Clubcard coupons section of the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app. You need to add the coupon to your card before you can use it. To do this go to View Coupons and select Add on the coupon you would like to use. What can I get with Tesco Clubcard? TESCO'S Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop. These points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places like restaurants and days out. Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard. Drivers using the loyalty card get one point for every two litres spent on fuel. One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you a £1.50 money-off voucher, for example. You can double their worth when you swap them for discounts with "reward partners". For example, £12 worth of vouchers can be swapped for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+. Or you can swap 50p worth of points for £1 to spend at Hungry Horse pubs. Where you can spend them changes regularly, and you can check on the Tesco website what's available now. Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card. The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you'll pay a higher price. These Clubcard prices are usually labelled on shelves, along with the non-member price. But it's worth noting that just because it's discounted doesn't necessarily make it the cheapest around, and you should compare prices to find the best deal. You can sign up to get a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website. You can then scan your Clubcard at the checkout to redeem it. Every coupon comes with an expiry date, so make sure to check this before you head to the tills. The coupons on offer change regularly but Tesco has previously offered £2.50 off when you spend £10 on free range chicken. What other offers are available at the supermarket? Lidl also frequently offers hidden discounts and freebies in its loyalty app. Customers have said they have previously got their hands on doughnuts, fresh fruit and pasta. The coupons are tailor-made for each customer based on their shopping habits. The offers change regularly but some customers have said they were given a free bakery sweet treat when they spent £10 in a month. Sainsbury's customers can also get coupons which could save them money on their weekly shop. To find your offers simply log into your Online Groceries account and click Coupon Wallet. You can only use one of each coupon in a single transaction. How to save money at Tesco EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco. The Sun's Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK's biggest supermarket. Clubcard points Tesco first launched it's loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value. Extend Clubcard points You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site. Clubcard prices If you don't have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don't forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll. Yellow stickers Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm. Save money if you shop online If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees. If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.
