Advertisement Lastly, remember that a deal is only worthwhile if you genuinely need the product. Buying something just because it's on offer doesn't necessarily mean you're saving money.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. How can I save money when shopping at Lidl? Lidl reduces items at the start of the day, and the best deals can be found between 7am and 8am, when most stores open. Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more. Advertisement Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also has its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain booze. Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl" – it's here where you'll find a load of random stuff you didn't realise you needed, at decent prices. But if you are hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the "Middle of Lidl" on the supermarket's website in advance. The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday. Advertisement

Google unveils Doppl that styles outfits virtually; offers animated videos
ETtech Tech giant Google unveiled a new experimental app called Doppl on Thursday in the United States, which helps users virtually style their outfits and access animated versions of themselves. Doppl, a product of Google Labs, allows a virtual try-on to 'visualise how an outfit might look on you.' The application is available on both iOS and Android versions. How to use Doppl? Post sign-up, the user has to upload a full-body picture to try on new looks. Doppl allows recommendations for choosing a picture in the 'Tips for great results' option. Once the picture is ready, the user can upload an image or screenshot of outfits they would like to try on, whether it be an outfit from social media, a blog, or even a friend. Once the inspiration look is uploaded, tap on the animate button to see your look in motion with a short video. The new look can be saved in a camera roll and shared with others. What looks can you try on?As the app is in the experimental stage, it offers limited choices. Users can try on outfits such as tops, bottoms, and items, such as shoes, lingerie, bathing suits, and accessories, are not supported. These include costumes as well as many traditional, religious, and cultural outfits that may not work well. What else? Doppl can explore styles and add missing elements other than tops, bottoms, and dresses to complete the look, which the company calls 'imagined items.' Whereas 'default outfit' lets you pick a basic look in case the outfit provided by the user is not supported.'While generated images can help you visualise how an item might look on you, they don't provide a representation of fit, suggest a size, or indicate size availability," the company said. This development follows Google Shopping, which allows virtual try-on features of clothing items just by uploading a picture. However, Doppl follows the age restrictions of over 18 years.

New Google features surface fresh content on topics you care about; Search now prioritises your favourite websites
Google has announced a set of new and existing personalisation tools designed to give users greater control over the content and results they see across its Search and Shopping platforms. The update includes features that aim to reflect individual browsing habits, preferred websites, and shopping interests, without altering the core structure of search results. A new feature, currently being trialled through Google's Labs section, allows users to prioritise content from selected websites. Dubbed 'Preferred Sources', the feature is available in English in the US and India. Users who opt in can click a star icon next to the Top Stories header and select their preferred sources. If the chosen sites publish new, relevant content, it will appear more frequently in the Top Stories section, clearly labelled and displayed alongside other sources. For ongoing topics, Google Search will now automatically surface the latest information if a user has previously searched the same subject. New updates will appear in sections such as Top Stories and 'What People Are Saying'. Additionally, the recent searches dropdown will notify users when fresh material is available. Another adjustment promotes frequently visited websites within search results, provided personalisation is enabled and the content remains relevant to the query. This aims to help users return more easily to familiar sources. In the Discover feed, users can now select specific sports teams to follow. This selection triggers tailored content, such as scores and match highlights, across various sports and leagues. On the shopping side, Google is integrating personal style preferences into its results. When browsing fashion, footwear, or accessories, users may now encounter a 'save your favourite styles' prompt. This data will be used to shape future product suggestions. Google Shopping has also updated its homepage to feature a customised feed. After selecting preferred shopping categories, users are shown a stream of videos and product listings tied to those interests. The platform includes deal browsing, price checks, and access to new trends. All features depend on user settings, and personalisation can be adjusted or disabled entirely through account preferences.

Google launches AI-powered Doppl app to let users try outfits virtually
Google has launched a new experimental app called Doppl, designed to let users virtually try on clothes using artificial intelligence. The app creates a digital version of the user to simulate how different outfits might look in real life, complete with video previews and sharing options. Doppl is currently available for both iOS and Android users in the United States. Doppl app: How it works To get started, users upload a photo of themselves to the app. They can then choose images of clothing—whether from online stores, photos of friends' outfits, or social media screenshots—to visualise how those clothes would look on them. Once an outfit is selected, Doppl generates a realistic image of the user wearing it. It can also turn static images into AI-generated videos, offering a more dynamic view of how the clothing fits and moves. Google notes that Doppl is still in its early stages, launched under its Labs initiative. The company cautions that results may not always be accurate in terms of fit, appearance, or clothing details. Users can save their favourite outfits, browse past try-ons, and share their virtual looks with friends. While it builds upon Google Shopping's earlier virtual try-on tool, Doppl personalises the experience by letting users see the clothes on a virtual version of themselves. Google AI Mode Virtual try-on At the Google I/O event last month, Google introduced upgrades to AI Mode, including smart shopping tools that show personalised products and also expanded its virtual try-on feature, which lets users try on billions of clothing items on their own image, simply by uploading a photo. Google Search's AI Mode was previously limited to the US; however, the AI-powered web search feature has now expanded to more regions including India. The feature is available as an experiment in Labs and is currently available in English only.
