I've been desperate for a pair of £85 mesh jelly shoes for summer – I found the EXACT dupe for a tenner
THEY'RE one of the most divisive fashion trends to have made a comeback this year. But one stylish woman who was delighted by the re-emergence of jelly shoes had set her sights on a pair of ballet-style mesh jelly flats. 6 Abby was thrilled when she found this £10 pair of mesh jelly flats at Asda Credit: TikTok/@abbybella3 6 She has had these £85 ones on her Net-a-Porter wishlist but they've been out of stock for months Credit: TikTok/@abbybella3 6 So she was thrilled when she came across this amazing dupe on a random Asda run Credit: TikTok/@abbybella3 6 The Iro shoes will set you back a whopping £85 - and the Asda ones are virtually identical Credit: The only problem? They were £85 and out of stock. So Abby was thrilled when she popped into her local Asda and came across an almost exact copy of the Iro shoes, for just £10. She took to TikTok to share her find, as she began her video: "I need to show you girls what I've just bought. "I am so happy with them. "You girls are all going to be like, what the f**k has she bought now?" Even Abby's pal "ripped the s**t" out of her when she told her she liked the shoes, but she insisted she has "so many ways" in her head to style them up. And while she's had the designer footwear on her Net-a-Porter wish list for months, but they've "been out of stock for the longest time". "They're £85, which I know is so ridiculous for a pair of jelly shoes, but I just love them," she said. She then delightedly held up the Asda ones. "They look identical to the ones from Net-a-Porter, but they're not £85, they were £10!"she gushed.

Shoppers race to Asda for Stacey Solomon homeware at a fraction of the price & it's perfect to put away for next Easter
EASTER might be over, but people are already planning for next year's celebrations. And it seems Asda is the perfect place to go, as the Easter range from the At Home With Stacey Solomon Collection has been slashed to half price. 5 5 5 Danielle took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share a look at the bargains she'd nabbed from the supermarket. "Asda - Stacey Solomon Easter decorations half price!" she wrote alongside the post. "Glass egg £1 each, pack of 4 Eggs £2, Easter tree £3.50, Easter table runner £1.25." People quickly flooded the comments section, with the stunning Easter tree one of the favourites among them. "Love the tree!" one wrote. "Need that tree," another added. "Love these," a third commented. As another sighed that they'd bought the tree at full price, writing: "Typical these trees are in the sale!" Others weighed in on the other options in the reduced range, including the gorgeous glass eggs filled with dried flowers. "The glass eggs are very cute!" one gushed. "How beautiful!" another said. "You need to go a different Asda and get more!" a third commented. "Is this just in certain stores or online too?" someone else said. "I've tried Google searching the tree and can't find it at all!" To which another said the sale is just in store. However, since then, it appears that some of the deals have gone on the website, as the glass eggs are on there for £3.

Other options, such as Stacey's glass mugs and the £10 pack of four eggs Danielle got for £2 are still full price on the Asda site. "Honestly my Asda must be the worse for sales," someone else raged. "I've just been up and not a thing on sale! "Well done though on your purchases." Stacey also has cushions, duvet sets, towels and tea towels in her Easter range, with the majority of items still full price on the Asda website. And while some of the items are very Easter orientated, and perfect to put away for next year, others - such as the daisy collection - are spring-themed and look incredible in the home at this time of the year.
