Lidl Middle Aisle bargain for less than a fiver will save you buying new phone
This budget Lidl product will help you spruce your weathered phone up - and it's £22 cheaper than a rival Smartphones are constantly falling out our pockets, getting dropped on the floor, or getting scratched as we go about our daily lives. Cracks and broken screens can also be a real bugbear - and could cost a lot to get fixed. However, if you don't fancy spending hundreds on a replacement device, Lidl might have the perfect alternative for you. The budget retailer is selling a handy repair kit shoppers can find in the Middle Aisle - and it's going for £4.99. The Middle Aisle bargain, which customers can snap up for less than a fiver - that's near enough the price of coffee - will help you sort out any faults on your mobile phone that have accumulated over time, most of them by accident. Not only will you have your phone back to spick and span condition, but you'll be pocketing a bit of cash in the process. Indeed, the Parkside Smartphone Repair Set is truly ideal for anyone trying to watch their spending. The kit boasts 32 pieces, including screwdrivers and suction cups, to help you take apart your smartphone, and fix it yourself. The kit can be used to fix any smartphone, including Apple and Samsung devices, and can be used to fix laptop and tablet screens as well. It comes in a practical storage box, and can be used to change screens, replace batteries and install sim cards. If you'd rather shop around a bit before committing, we also have you covered. Argos' smartphone repair kit, the Ifixit Essential Electronic Multi Toolkit, is priced at £27 at the retailer. That is a whopping £22 more expensive than the Lidl buy and you may not be able to tell the difference between the two products. The description reads: "Cracked screens and worn-out batteries can make your digital life aggravating. "But you're closer to a working device than you think, you just need the right tools. "Enter our Toolkit. It contains all the necessary tools for most electronic repairs while staying nice and compact." Alternatively, Amazon is offering this 122-Piece Precision Screwdriver Set. The magnetic small screwdriver set and electronic repair tool kit is suitable for fixing up phones, PCs, laptops, computers, MacBooks, and PS4s. Circling back to the Lidl buy, though, it is important to note that the nifty bit of kit will hit stores today, Thursday, June 26. So, get to your nearest Lidl fast because it is likely to be popular, and you don't want to miss out. The smartphone repair kit can be found in the middle aisle of your local Lidl. It is only available while stocks last. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts 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. Designed to keep you cool and comfy, the £10.99 duvet features a micro-fine cover that cleverly regulates moisture and body temperature. It's ideal for double beds, with a soft and fluffy polyester filling that still feels cosy without the stifling heat The bargain supermarket is also selling a Peppa Pig Kids' Ride-On Suitcase this summer. Kids can be pulled along, ride, and play with this major branded suitcase – perfect for keeping them entertained at the airport. The case has been described as sturdy and comes with a lockable closure. The interior includes an extra pocket for added storage and a cross-strap to keep items secure. Shoppers picking up the £25 case will be pleased to know it comes with a three-year warranty.
