Another raved: 'Saved over £50 for my son's holiday stuff, love it!' A third added: 'Placed an order and managed to get a few bits, thanks.' Another mum said she bagged a 5-pack of shorts for just £2, which she called 'perfect for little ones on summer holiday'.

Kat Farmer's new George at Asda Collection The buzz comes just weeks after Asda launched its first-ever stand-alone George store in Leeds, which could be rolled out nationwide if it proves a hit. The new store, which opened on Saturday, May 10, in the old Asda Living unit at Crown Point Retail Park, is a dream come true for George fans. It's packed with affordable fashion, stylish homeware, must-have toys, and adorable baby gear, plus a brand new café to keep you fuelled mid-shop. There are currently 30 Asda Living stores in the UK, but the supermarket giant is testing the waters with this new George-only concept. Bosses are expected to make a decision later this year on whether more will launch across the country. The George brand, first launched in 1989 by fashion guru George Davies, changed the game as the UK's first supermarket clothing label. By 2004, it had become the nation's biggest clothing retailer, and today it's still going strong, racking up 260 million visits a year to its site and stocking shelves in 560 stores.

She said: "Asda's budget range is easy to spot as it's bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you'll find their Just Essentials range. "It's great value and I've found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets. Sign up to Asda Rewards The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda's reward scheme. She said: "Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up. "As an Asda Rewards member, you'll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you'll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products. "This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you've earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers. We've previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes - including the ones that will save you the most money. Look out for booze deals Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals. She said: "Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%. "The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C. "Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save." Join Facebook groups The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store. Eilish said: "I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store. "Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases. "For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda's new Barbie range spotted in store. "Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p."

Fancy a Brunetti cake for your commute? Pasticceria nabs key Metro spot
Other tenants to sign include KFC, Starbucks, IGA, 7-Eleven, Sushi Jiro, and Sushi Sushi. Storage U-turn A large corner block that was sold for $14.3 million by the wealthy and prominent taxi-owning Gange family about 18 months ago is back on the market. Self-storage business StorHub, which snapped up the 24-42 Alexandra Parade warehouse from the Ganges in December 2023, appears to have changed its mind about developing the 2447-square-metre corner site in Clifton Hill. The property is now back on the market through Cushman & Wakefield's George Davies, Raphael Favas, Oliver Hay and Anthony Kirwan in an EoI campaign closing late July, with an asking price around $13 million plus. Loading 'This is one of the most strategic and versatile sites we've seen in the inner north in recent years,' said Davies. The three Gange brothers, Kevin, John and Alfred, were big players in the taxi industry, operating about 160 licences and running the Silver Top and Astoria franchises through the family's Gange Corporation, which offloaded the Alexandra Parade property. Singapore-headquartered StorHub has operations around the globe. It's also expanding rapidly on Australia's east coast developing multiple self-storage sites. In Melbourne, it's constructing on 316 Governor Road in Braeside after already opening four self-storage facilities in NSW, where it has another two on the way, as well as one in Queensland. Its Alexandra Parade property, between Wellington and Smith streets, is close to the old Fitzroy Gasworks, where the state government recently shortlisted developers for the decontaminated site's final housing parcel. The Gasworks will hold about 1200 new inner-city homes when finished. Boutique retail Singaporean investors are on the move in Melbourne's suburbs, too. A Singaporean buyer has forked out $1.85 million to snaffle a shop at 12-18 Claremont Avenue in Malvern in an off-market deal. The island site is nestled in a boutique local retail strip just off Glenferrie Road close to Malvern train station. The 225-square-metre property, leased to Pizza Religion, netted the seller, who had operated a business on the site for 12 years, a yield of 5.73 per cent. Further east in Kew, a building leased to a cafe at 916 Glenferrie Road sold for $1,338,000 on a yield of 4.17 per cent. Town and Country, a garden supply and cafe business, occupies two adjoining properties in Glenferrie Road. Following the offshore investment theme, the portion leased to the cafe at No. 916 sold to another Singaporean investor. 'With offshore interest continuing to rise and strong buyer appetite across the market, current conditions present a compelling opportunity for retail property owners,' Colliers agent Lucas Soccio, who negotiated both deals, said. Little village While on the topic of retail in Melbourne's inner east, it's worth pointing out that a multistory showroom and office at 883-889 High Street in Armadale is for sale. Who knows, maybe it, too, will be in the sights of an overseas buyer? But for now, JLL agents are spruiking it as 'Armadale's final crown jewel' and as a premium development opportunity. It's expected to fetch about $20 million. The buildings belong to lawyer Peter Mitrakas, one of Melbourne's most ardent architecture-focused property investors, and house his office as well as the Graham Geddes Antiques store. The property, on a 1585-square-metre parcel, backs on to 23-27 Osment Street and the Frankston railway line near Armadale station. Mitrakas was the reluctant seller of the old art deco Commonwealth Bank building in Albert Park about five years ago. The two buildings now up for sale are likely to attract developers. A couple of doors down, Nicole Chow's United Asia Group built a seven-storey apartment building with a rooftop pool after swooping on Geddes' original store at 875-881 High Street. Geddes, who then went on to lease Mitrakas' building, may soon be looking for another site for his antiques emporium. JLL's Jesse Radisich said the east end of High Street is evolving rapidly. 'It's a hot little pocket now with all the developments taking place. The big trend with High Street is that the action is moving down past Kooyoong Road. This is like its own little village,' he said. Fuel stop A fuel station in Keysborough that went to a boardroom auction sold for a whopping $2,507,000 above its reserve. The sale revved up when several deep-pocketed petrol station operators entered the fray. 'Twelve offers were received at the close of the first round expressions of interest, with the top six groups invited to participate in a boardroom auction,' agent Rorey James said. The property was on the market after the first bid at $8.5 million. From there, fierce competition from some of Melbourne's largest fuel operators drove the eventual price to $11,070,000, he said, reflecting a strong 4.61 per cent yield. The servo at 745-751 Springvale Road in Keysborough is currently leased to EG Group and a separate car wash operator, with about 16 months left on the lease. James and Kevin Tong from Stonebridge Property Group and Jonathan McCormack and Peter Bremner from Gorman Commercial handled the sale.
