I go away a lot, and one thing that’s hard to avoid when you’re often packing and unpacking, is creased clothes.

My clothes steamer comes in handy all the time – it’s not fancy or branded, and costs just £21 on Amazon.

BEAUTURAL Clothes Steamer, £21.99

Working in an office means needing my clothes to be crease-free, and with plenty of linen and cotton in my summer wardrobe, this can feel like a neverending cycle.

I got fed up of ironing years ago, and decided to replace my most hated chore with an easier solution.

I bought the BEAUTURAL Clothes Steamer from Amazon, in the hope that it would save me time and effort.

Performance

The handheld steamer couldn’t be easier to use – all you have to do is pull out the water tank and fill it with tap water.

Then, you just press the power button at the back and wait a few seconds for the steam to start up.

I find the easiest way to steam an item of clothing is by hanging it up on a doorway, and then I can run the steamer down it in lines, until all the creases have gone.

You don’t get the exact same finish as with an iron (clothes aren’t as crisp), however it does get the majority of wrinkles out, in more than half the time.

Not only does it do the job, but it also avoids having to lug an ironing board out of the cupboard.

Plus, my main two issues with ironing are solved – it’s near-on impossible to burn something with the steamer, and I don’t have to worry about creasing one side.

BEAUTURAL Clothes Steamer, £21.99

For best results, I’d recommend leaving the clothes hanging up for a while after steaming, just to let any leftover creases drop out – but I do sometimes use it in a hurry too.

The steamer can also be used horizontally on flat surfaces like tablecloths and even soft furnishings.

If, like me, you’re often packing a suitcase for a staycation or holiday, the steamer is fairly compact, so you could take it with you to use when you arrive.

I’ve never encountered any leaking when using the steamer, but it is best to switch it off as soon as you stop using it, to avoid damp surfaces.

It also works better on some fabrics than others – I would avoid using it for woollen or wool-effect clothes, as they can soak up the moisture.

Speaking of handy household gadgets, there are some great deals out there at the moment, including the Ninja Summer Sale, which cuts 20% off almost everything online.

Or, if you’re kitting out your kitchen, I did a Ninja Crispi review, and found the air fryer to be a great household addition for getting crispy skin on chicken and cooking up snacks.

LEGGINGS are a clothing item that everyone needs in their wardrobe.

The best leggings will be comfortable, supportive and flattering on every body shape, and we’ve put some of the hero brands to the test.

2

Flimsy, see-through leggings are a thing of the past, as there’s a whole world of high-quality options that don’t compromise on style.

From fitness activities to running errands, a pair of leggings have become the ultimate throw-on-and-go fashion item.

They pair with everything from chunky knitwear to fitted tops, and they’re my go-to for wearing at home when I still want to feel put together.

High-waisted leggings, flared styles and sculpting options are all popular, and scrunch-bum leggings are also trending for enhancing the silhouette.

We’ve put a selection of styles through the ringer to see if they’re worth the money, from Gymshark, Halara, Tala and more.

Best leggings at a glance:

How I tested

2

There are a few important features to consider when searching for the perfect pair of leggings.

Firstly (and most importantly), a good pair of leggings need to be comfortable.

As a fashion item that will be worn to the gym or for lounging at home, they need to be stretchy enough to wear for long periods without digging into the skin.

One hurdle that leggings often fall at is having a see-through design, and I was closely keeping an eye on the quality of each pair.

I also considered any special features, including sculpting styles, sweat-wicking properties and how they feel on the skin.

I wore the leggings for visits to the gym, long walks, and for lounging at home, to determine whether they work as fashion all-rounders.

Gymshark Vital Seamless Leggings

Gymshark Vital Seamless Leggings, £45

Pros: Comfortable, supportive waistband, sweat-wicking, flattering on the waist, wide range of colour options

Cons: Expensive when full price, slightly tight on the waist

Rating: 5/5

I’ve been wearing Gymshark leggings for years, and they’re yet to disappoint me.

The Vital Seamless Leggings are not only a brand bestseller, but they’re also my new favourite.

Featuring sweat-wicking technology and breathable mesh dots, they’re comfortable even after intense workouts, and I don’t ever need to worry about sweat patches.

The feature I love the most is the supportive ribbed waistband.

It sits high on the stomach, sucking me in without ever feeling suffocating.

For more cinching styles, read our roundup of the best high-waisted leggings.

Gymshark’s leggings have mastered the balance between comfort and style, smoothing out lumps and bumps around my waist and thighs, while still remaining comfortable enough to wear for long periods.

At full-price, the leggings are on the expensive side, but Gymshark often has big sales with price drops of up to 50%.

Leg length: Full; Size range: XXS-XXL; Colours available: 11 colours, Fabric: Nylon and elastane

BetterMe High Impact Mesh Leggings

BetterMe High Impact Mesh Leggings, £52

Pros: Stretchy, sweat-wicking, nice colour, smooths lumps and bumps, subtly shapes the figure

Cons: Expensive

Rating: 5/5

BetterMe is best-known for its health coaching app, but branched out into the activewear space in 2022.

I tried the brand’s High Impact Mesh Leggings, and I honestly can’t fault them.

Firstly, I’m obsessed with the dark green colourway, but the pair also comes in burgundy, black and ivory shades.

The leggings have a stretchy design that feels so soft on the skin, with a high-rise fit that flatters the figure.

The waistband and mesh detailing are why they’re so comfortable for wearing all day, and I’ve been reaching for them to exercise and for running errands.

Made from nylon and lycra, they give light tummy control, and I’ve noticed how much they smooth out my thighs.

Leg length: Full; Size range: XS-XXL; Colours available: Four colours, Fabric: Nylon and lycra spandex

Marks & Spencer Good Move Go Balance High Waisted Yoga Leggings

Marks & Spencer Good Move Go Balance High Waisted Yoga Leggings, £25

Pros: Flattering, comfortable, shaping/slimming, stretchy, soft, cool and breathable, V waist 

Cons: Limited colour range 

Rating: 5/5

These leggings are perfect for yoga and pretty much any other occasion, too.

They’re silky soft and cosy but still lightweight and breathable so that you won’t overheat during a workout.

I love the flattering V-shaped waistband; it’s unique and has a nice twist on a regular pair of black leggings.

But also, it makes your waist smaller and your bum look lifted.

The leggings will pair perfectly with running trainers, and we tested some of the best styles.

At the moment, it only comes in black, burgundy and a printed design, but hopefully, M&S will launch more colours soon.

Leg length: Full, Size range: 6-24; Colours available: 2, Fabric: Polyester and elastane

Halara UltraSculpt High Waisted Scrunch Bum Leggings

Halara UltraSculpt High Waisted Scrunch Butt Leggings, £30.95 (was £50.95)

Pros: Lifts the bum, sculpts the figure, compression to smooth out bumps, good selection of lengths and colours, currently on sale

Cons: Ruching is quite visible, feels tight

Rating: 4/5

Halara is the TikTok-famous brand that even Taylor Swift is fan of, and I tried UltraSculpt Scrunch Butt Leggings.

Featuring compression for shaping, a V-shaped waistband and an ultra-high waist, the stretchy leggings are just as comfortable as they are flattering.

The all-over compression held me in while smoothing out unwanted bumps, and the black colourway is ideal for both exercise and everyday wear.

The leggings feature padding and ruching that lifts the butt, and while the design is quite discreet, I would prefer if it was completely invisible.

Halara currently has a huge sale on, where shoppers can save up to 80% sitewide, and the sculpting leggings are reduced by £20.

Read our full Halara leggings review.

Leg length: Full; Size range: XS-XXL; Colours available: 20 colours, Fabric: Nylon and elastane

TALA SkinLuxe High Waisted Flared Legging

TALA SkinLuxe High Waisted Flared Legging, £59

Pros: Flattering flared leg, waistband doesn’t fall down, super soft, easy to put on, comfortable, back pocket with zip, lightweight, sustainable (made from recycled nylon) 

Cons: Only available in four colours 

Rating: 5/5

TALA’s SkinLuxe flared leggings have been one of our favourites for a while now.

Flared jeans are so in right now, and so are flared leggings. 

Not only are they trendy, but this shape is really flattering on the waist, thighs and bum.

They’re great for accentuating curves without being skin-tight.

I wear this pair all the time, as they’re ideal for WFH and then heading out for a walk with friends.

They’re also great for hardcore workouts, especially on days when you’re feeling a little bloated or feel like covering up a bit more, as the high waist will not roll down.

Leg length: Full; Size range: XS to XL; Colours available: 4 colours; Fabric: Recycled nylon and lycra

What to wear with leggings?

There are two reasons why leggings are a wardrobe staple.

Firstly, they’re comfortable for every occasion, and they can be worn with just about anything.

For lounging at home and running errands, leggings can be styled with T-shirts, knitwear and trainers, but they can also be teamed with various activewear for trips to the gym.

Leggings also make a great base for layering during the colder months, and they look effortlessly stylish paired with longline coats and a crossbody bag.

Building a capsule wardrobe means finding timeless clothing items that can be styled in multiple ways, and leggings are the item that does just that.

How to style flared leggings?

Flared leggings have made a comeback in recent years, and they’ve become a popular choice for everyday and loungewear.

Traditionally worn for yoga, the wide-leg style could be thrown on for any occasion, giving me of an elevated feel than traditional leggings.

The design is also flattering on every body type, and they look stylish paired with tank tops, cropped T-shirts, cardigans and leather jackets.

Tala, the clothing brand founded by influencer Grace Beverly, is known for its figure-flattering flared leggings.

It has a range of flared styles available on the site to pair with crop tops, sweatshirts and more.

Do Gymshark leggings run small?

Gymshark leggings are usually considered to be true to size, but the sizing is largely down to the individual styles.

I tested Gymshark’s Vital Seamless Leggings (the brand’s bestseller), and I found the design to be exactly true to size.

It’s always worth reading the product reviews before taking the plunge to determine how accurate the sizing will be.

A vacuum cleaner is a household essential, and Amazon has a huge 52% saving on a popular model.

The Uninell Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has been reduced from £229.99 to £109.

Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, £109 (was £229.99)

If you’re not keen on spending hundreds on the latest premium vacuum cleaner, you’re not alone.

Shoppers are flocking to Amazon to find the latest and greatest discounts, and there’s one stand-out cleaning deal right now.

The Uninell Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is now £109, and it has lots of handy features that make it versatile for cleaning all different surfaces.

Firstly, it’s cordless, which makes it easier to clean awkward areas, like the stairs or corners that aren’t within reach of a plug socket.

The cordless battery lasts up to an hour, and charges using a wall-mounted charger.

The handy design also allows you to transform it into a handheld vacuum cleaner, which is ideal for cleaning the car and tackling dirt and debris under sofa cushions and on other soft furniture.

Parents will know that the school holidays equal constant crumbs and mess, and this versatile vacuum is great for quick clean-ups.

There’s a ‘barefloor’ mode for hard flooring, a carpet mode, and a turbo mode for extra-powerful cleans and tackling ground-in dirt and hair.

The Amazon vacuum cleaner has a high 4.8 star rating, with hundreds of shoppers leaving their feedback.

One shopper said: ‘’Honestly would never go back to buying the likes of Miele, Dyson and Shark, of which I have owned over the years.’’

Another shopper commented: ‘’It’s lightweight, powerful, and glides around corners easily, picking up all my dog’s hair effortlessly.’’

‘’Great value for money. Can’t believe how cheap it was for what I got!’’

While a third shopper praised the ‘’Excellent vacuum cleaner’’, calling it ‘’easy to use, lightweight, good attachments, battery lasts long enough to clean medium sized house.’’

They also went on to say: ‘’Can’t differentiate much between this and the much pricier Dyson equivalent.’’

In comparison, Dyson’s cheapest vacuum online right now is £249.99, and that’s the reduced price – some cost as much as £799.

DUNELM has slashed to half price off an “absolutely brilliant” suitcase that is perfect for flights this summer.

It comes in a range of sized that can be put under the seat, in the overhead locker, or as checked-in luggage.

The Elements Two-Tone Hard Shell Suitcase be bought for £17.50 to £25, depending on the size, which is down from £35 to £50 at Dunelm.

They come in two colourways, an Olive green, or Fuschia, making the suitcase easy to spot on the conveyor belt.

There are three size options, from the smallest “cabin” size, to medium and large.

The suitcase includes four spinner wheels, that can be used with a push button trolley system.

It comes in a strong hard shell, with sturdy handles and zip insert that has an elastic clip closure to hold your belongings in place.

The product dimensions are H 55cm x W 40cm x D 20cm, at 2.5kg for the cabin case.

This means it can be taken on as a free, small carry-on bag that fits under the seat on EasyJet and BA flights, or in the overhead locker on Ryanair and Jet2 flights.

The medium case measures H 67cm x W 44.5cm x D 25cm, at 3.1kg.

And the large case is H 76cm x W 50cm x D 28.5cm, weighing 3.8kg.

The dimensions are particularly important to note, after a leaked email showed staff across major airports in the UK would receive payments for every bag confiscated from easyJet passengers ahead of boarding.

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has also considered bigger bonuses for staff who identify passengers with oversized bags.

The suitcase from Dunelm received an overall rating of 4.3 stars from customers.

One reviewer described it has an “absolutely brilliant case and so light to carry.

Another raved: “Loved my suitcase with the bright colours couldn’t miss it on the belt!

“It’s easy to push along and the inside is great too, I had a lot of looks and people saying what lovely colours.”

It comes as Dunelm also knocked 50 per cent off one of its fancy garden decor ornaments.

The Artificial Boxwood Ball Tree has now been slashed to £24.50 from its original price of £49.

The retailer has also been providing great bargains on furniture, scanning for up to 90 per cent off.

One bar stool was priced down to £10.32 from £103.20.

The game follows the life of a puppet in a fictional city plagued by an epidemic and a puppet uprising.

It also has smart safety tech built in to protect your devices from overheating or battery damage, which is always reassuring.

There’s a USB-C IN & OUT port, a USB-A port, and a built-in USB-C cable, so you can charge three devices at once. 

Whether it’s your phone, wireless earbuds, or even a mate’s device, this little power bank can handle it.

There’s also a clever little design touch: the micro cable doubles as a lanyard, so you can clip it to your bag and keep it handy while you’re out and about.

There’s no guessing games when it comes to battery life, the LED power display shows you exactly how much juice you’ve got left.

With a 4.6-star average and over 500 units sold last month, this compact power bank has impressed Amazon shoppers with its solid design, fast charging, and reliability.

“Compact, powerful, and perfect for on-the-go,” writes one shopper. “It’s honestly become a lifesaver for my on-the-go lifestyle.”

“A solid battery pack,” says another customer. “The in-built USB-C cable is extremely convenient, snug fitting in my phone and provides a nice, fast charge. “

Another buyer writes: “The wireless charging works flawlessly with my phone… The battery level indicator is a nice touch.

ONE shopper has said they’re glad they didn’t get to a Morrisons sale any sooner after the retailer slashed the price of garden furniture.

The customer timed their visit to coincide with a 25 per cent price cut on a garden furniture set for members signed up to its rewards scheme.

She said: “Glad now I didn’t manage to get to Morrisons sooner.

“I got an extra 25% off with More Card, so I paid £54 – bargain!”

Another happy punter who appears to have got there a bit sooner, added: “We got this a couple of years ago still going strong.”

This comes as Morrisons has launched a huge summer clearance sale on a range of garden products.

An eager shopper who spotted the offer at her local Morrisons shared the deal on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page.

Other customers quickly expressed their excitement as they ran to make the most of the affordable prices.

Some of the items on offer had even had their price slashed by 50 per cent.

It included the Nutmeg Outdoor three-piece bistro set for £50, reduced from £100.

For £95 – reduced from £140 – it’s a great centrepiece for your garden.

Now that your garden is well-equipped to host, it’s time to stock up on barbecue supplies.

For just £8 Morrisons are selling a convenient portable barbecue.

The pretzels cannot be purchased online and Aldi warns that prices may vary.

Aldi are offering a “taste of America” with today’s special buys.

There will be 21 American themed products on offer at the budget shop.

Tesco have launched a clearance sale of its Solar Bubble Wind Chime for just £9.

This low price will only last until next month, as the sale period extends only from 28/04/2025 until 14/07/2025.

From July 7, the product will return to its full price of £10.

The chime offers multicoloured lights which will brighten up any outdoor space this summertime.

It’s also solar-powered, meaning the device is self-sufficient for its energy.

Punters haven’t hesitated to heap praise on the product.

One customer, who purchased the item before the sale last year, said:

“It was a present and bigger than i expected it to be (for the price).

“The chime has lovely colours when lit up – I’m very pleased with it.”

Another added: “Lovely and nice.

“I would like to buy more if possible.”

This comes after Tesco slashed the price of it’s mini BBQ by almost three quarters earlier this month.

It reduced the price from £80 to just £24.

Sadly, this sale only ran until June 8 – but the item can still be purchased.

The oven, which comes with an in-built thermometer, can be placed on top of gas or charcoal BBQs to heat up any food.

Tesco says it can also be used to cook meat, fish and more.

Shoppers buying the Haven pizza oven will have to pay a standard delivery charge of £3. Express delivery costs £4.99.

Anyone unhappy with the product can request a return or refund online up to 30 days after delivery date.

Earlier this year, Tesco again launched a major sale on a range og winter warmers.

Silentnight’s Grey Teddy Fleece Reversible Double Duvet Set led the range of discounts with its 70% saving.

Two eagle-eyed shoppers had spotted the deals at their local Tesco stores in Wellingborough and Shrewsbury and shared the news on Facebook group “Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group”.

The duvet set typically retails for £33 and is described as “supremely snuggly” and “luxuriously soft”.

It comes with both the duvet cover itself and two pillowcases, all sharing the same grey colour.

This set joined a range of other products also on clearance sale, including a selection of towels.

Is Argos open over the Easter weekend?

Argos stores across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will open on Good Friday (April 18), Easter Saturday (April 19) and Easter Monday (April 21) in 2025.

However, stores which do open their doors on these dates will likely follow a reduced hours policy common across the UK.

On Easter Sunday (April 20), the retailer will close all stores in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, marking the Christian holiday.

Scotland will be the outlier with most Argos locations closing for Easter Sunday but a select few staying open – so remember to check opening times before you travel to your local store.

Does Argos do January sales?

Yes, Argos does hold January sales and the retailer gives shoppers the entire month to snag any deals which catch their eyes.

That’s right, the retailer doesn’t bring their January clearance sales to a close until January 31 giving you as much time as possible to get your money’s worth.

In 2025, Argos sliced 66% off of selected electronics and home appliances, meaning shoppers could save on anything from TVs to vacuum cleaners.

The Remington Shea Soft Hair Dryer dropped a whopping 66% in price, falling from £50 to only £17 in the January clearance sale.

Sale items were available both in-store and online with standard delivery starting at just £3.95 and same-day options available for an additional fee.

Click and collect is free for items ordered online.

Does Argos do Black Friday sales?

Yes, Argos does offer Black Friday sales and the retail giant has already begun counting down to the big day!

With November fast-approaching, the high street store has some advice for potential customers:

Be prepared: The store’s website advises shoppers to prepare for a day of smooth shopping by researching the products you want and writing up a list of back-up options in case you are too late.

Create an Argos account: To purchase an online order on the day you will need an Argos account set up, so you can get ahead of the game and make sure to register before the rush!

Shopping online: Finally, Argos recommends shoppers complete their hauls from the comfort of their own home by starting early, prioritising their lists, sticking to their budgets and being patient.

On the big day, all orders bought online before 5pm will be delivered by 10pm on the same day for just £5.95, subject to availability.

Or, customers can choose to pick up from a Sainsbury’s Collection Point near you.

Head to The Sun’s shopping section for more of the latest discounts we’ve spotted.

A HOST of major supermarkets have slashed the price of school uniform ahead of the new academic year.

The cost of getting kids back to school isn’t cheap but you could save some cash on clothes this week.

1

Asda, Aldi and Tesco have all dropped prices on their uniform bits or are launching bundle offers with prices starting from £1.50.

We’ve rounded up all the deals below.

Of course, always remember to shop around when buying any product, not least school uniform.

Compare prices via price comparison sites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner to see if you’ve found the best deal on any given item.

The Google Shopping/Product tab will give you a basic indication on whether what you’ve found is well-priced as well.

That said, research by The Sun has found Aldi and Lidl are offering the lowest prices this year.

Asda

Asda has slashed prices on hundreds of school uniform bits with 20% off trousers, shirts and polos.

Prices start from £1.60 for crew neck t-shirts and range up to £16 for five-packs of slim leg boys trousers.

Parents can also buy hoodies for £4, jersey skirts for £5.60 and five-packs of long sleeve tops for £12.

Shoppers on Facebook claim the 20% off offer is running in stores as well.

We have asked Asda if it is available across all stores and what date the offer is running until both online and in-store and will update this story when we’ve heard back.

Aldi

German discounter Aldi is bringing back it’s popular £5 school uniform bundle deal on Sunday (June 29).

The bundle includes two polo shirts, a sweatshirt or cardigan, and a choice of trousers, skirt or cargo shorts – all for a fiver.

Shoppers can’t buy the bundle online as Aldi doesn’t offer a home delivery service.

As with all Aldi Specialbuys, you’ll need to act fast as once they’re gone, they’re gone.

You don’t have to buy the whole bundle and can buy individual uniform items, with prices starting from £1.50.

Sizes are available for kids aged four to 12.

Tesco

Tesco has launched a 25% off sale on its school uniform bits in store and online for Clubcard customers.

You can sign up for a Clubcard for free via the Tesco website or by downloading the app for free on to your smartphone.

The offer is running until June 29, with non-Clubcard prices starting from £3 (£2.25 for Clubcard) for a two-pack of crew neck t-shirt.

Sizes are available for kids aged between four and 16.

If you can’t afford to buy school uniform now, Tesco is re-running the 25% off offer between July 22 and July 27.

Alongside the school uniform deal, shoppers can pick up stationery with prices starting from 25p.

Spending lots of time in the garden right now? A Dunelm sun lounger has dropped in price, and it’s great for kicking back on sunny days.

Usually, the lounger would come with a £79 price tag, but the deal cuts it to £55.30.

1

Amsterdam Charcoal Lounger
£55.30 (was £79)

Several weeks of consistent hot weather in the UK means Brits have had the chance to spend more time outdoors soaking up the sun.

If you’re lucky enough to own a garden, that could mean simply stepping outside your back door without having to traipse to a park.

To fully make the most of your space this summer you’ll need some furniture, and a sun lounger is ideal for relaxing.

This Dunelm lounger is a comfortable option if you’re having a drink or reading, but you can also recline it for sunbathing or even to enjoy a mid-afternoon snooze.

The removable head pillow gives some raised support for the neck, making it that extra bit more comfortable, especially if you’ll be spending a couple of hours relaxing in it.

The Amsterdam Charcoal Lounger is great for having in the garden, but it’s also versatile enough to take with you on days out.

Thanks to the lightweight mesh material and foldable design, you could pop the chair in the car to take camping or to the beach.

Dunelm had a home and garden sale that ended this weekend, but the sun lounger is one of multiple items still on sale amongst the full price garden furniture.

As it’s not part of a timed sale, it’s not clear how long the £23.50 saving will last, but as with many Dunelm deals, there is always a risk of selling out.

With a 4.7 star rating, shoppers are full of praise for the garden bargain.

One shopper wrote: ‘’Another superb garden chair.’’

‘’Comfortable, adjustable – no assembly needed and a hugely satisfying price.’’

Another was impressed with the practical features, commenting: ‘’Very comfortable reclining lounger, well constructed, with an all weather covering.’’

 ‘’Perfect for relaxing in garden – tempted to buy a second one.’’

A third felt the chair was good value, saying: ‘’Better, smarter and cheaper than the expensive ones at the garden centre.’’

However, they did note the size of the chair, describing it as: ‘’very wide so takes up more space.’’

Amsterdam Charcoal Lounger
£55.30 (was £79)

As much as Brits love the sun, a heatwave can be uncomfortable, and if the current weather’s got you searching for a quick fix, it might be worth taking a look at the best portable air conditioners.

The heat can make sleep difficult too, and investing in one of the best cooling pillows could really help with getting a solid night’s rest.

There’s also a great deal on a popular fan right now – the Shark Flexbreeze fan is now under £100, and has a handy cordless option.

CHOCOLATE fans are dashing to Aldi as the budget supermarket unveils a £3.99 version of the viral ‘Dubai-style’ chocolate bar.

Now available in Aldi stores across the UK, the 100g bar promises a rich and indulgent experience—without the luxury price tag.

2

The treat features creamy pistachio layers and crunchy kadayif pastry, all wrapped in silky milk chocolate. Inspired by a viral hit that exploded on social media, the chocolate has already caused a stir online.

AldiUK teased the launch on Facebook, writing: “THIS IS NOT A DRILL. The Dubai Style Chocolate Bar lands in store tomorrow! Will you be picking one up.”

Fans flooded the comments with excitement. One wrote: “More temptation.”

Another added: “You knocked it out of the park with this. Absolutely amazing.”

A third asked: “Hey dear Aldi, are these a special or permanent fixture? Xx”

The chocolate is part of Aldi’s Specialbuys range, meaning once it’s sold out, it may not return.

With no buying limit, shoppers are expected to stock up quickly.

This isn’t the first time retailers have tried to cash in on the Dubai chocolate craze.

Lidl’s JD Gross version flew off the shelves, and Waitrose offers a similar pistachio white chocolate bar for £2.75. Morrisons stocks its own version—Bolci Dubai Chocolate—for £5.

The trend shows no signs of slowing down, as chocolate lovers continue to seek out these premium-style treats at lower prices.

If you’re keen to try one, it’s worth getting to your local Aldi early to avoid disappointment.

As word spreads, demand is expected to spike.

To get the best deal, savvy shoppers are encouraged to compare prices using online tools like PriceSpy, Google Shopping, or Idealo.

These platforms let you check price histories and spot deals across retailers.

SAVE MONEY AT ALDI

Grabbing hot Specialbuys like this chocolate bar is just one way to save at Aldi.

The discount chain frequently tops Which? rankings for the cheapest supermarket, offering consistent value for everyday essentials.

In April, a typical basket of 79 items cost an average of £135.95 at Aldi—cheaper than rivals including Lidl and Tesco.

Bargain hunters should also keep an eye out for Aldi’s red sticker items, usually marked down in the morning.

These offer major discounts on products close to their sell-by date or with minor packaging damage.

Aldi’s budget-friendly alcohol selection is another way to save, with own-brand options often coming in much cheaper than big-name labels.

Don’t forget about Too Good To Go “Surprise Bags”, available in selected stores.

These offer a low-cost mix of near-date groceries that would otherwise go to waste.

SHOPPERS are racing to Dunelm to get their hands on a “gorgeous” chair which is 80% off.

The popular homeware store is selling the pink Elsie Velvet Cocktail Chair for just £19.99 – down from £99.

1

The chair is currently being advertised on the Dunelm website for the reduced price of £69.30, but one shopper spotted it in their local store with the even bigger discount.

Posting a picture of the chair reduced to £19.99, the savvy shopper, Liyana Leena, wrote in the Bargain Lovers Facebook group: “Always worth going to Dunelm”.

She claimed to have spotted the massive discount in the Cannock branch of the homeware store.

Shoppers were quick to respond to news of the discount, with one saying they “need to go have a look”. 

Another said: “Love the colour if my room was big enough I would go hunting.”

Shoppers also shared other deals they’ve managed to snap up in the Dunelm sale, with one writing: “I got my curtains in the sale in Dunelm, meant to have been £160 6ftx6ft blackouts got them for £10.”

Another wrote: “I got a £60 rug last year for £6!”

The stylish chair is made from a soft-touch velvet fabric, with a soft foam seat and solid wood legs, and is available in a rhubarb colourway.

It’s 73cm high with a width of 54cm and a diameter of 64cm.

Dunelm describes the chair as boasting a “compact design perfect for adding a modern stylish touch to any room”.

While the item is displayed on the Dunelm website, customers will still need to visit their local store store as it’s not available for home delivery or for Click and Collect.

THE Original Factory Shop has launched a closing down sale at yet another store.

A branch in Heswall is the latest store to announce its closure, leaving shoppers heartbroken.

1

The Merseyside branch has launched closing down sale to help shift stock before it shutters for good.

Shoppers have a chance to grab up to 70% off selected lines, and 50% off electrical products.

The Henswell store opened two years ago in June 2023.

The exact date the store is closing has not yet been confirmed but The Sun will update this piece when we hear more.

Up to 11 TOFS stores are already to set to close this month, including sites across Worcestershire, Durham and Cumbria .

Meanwhile, another five stores across Nairn, Market Drayton, Troon, Blairgowrie and Castle Douglas have been placed up for sale.

The Original Factory Shop has told The Sun that negotiations are ongoing with landlords – making it unclear whether these shops will remain open.

It comes as part of a major restructuring carried out by new owner Modella Capital with a number of loss making stores having to close as result.

Over June nine of these stores will close, including sites in Dorest and Durham.

Another site in Middlewich is also set to close however a date is yet to be confirmed.

You can see the full list of store closures here:

• Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire – June 26
• Perth – June 28
• Chester Le Street, County Durham – June 28
• Arbroath, Angus – June 28
• Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire – June 28
• Pershore, Worcestershire – June 28
• Normanton, West Yorkshire – June 28
• Peterhead, Aberdeenshire – June 28
• Shaftesbury, Dorset – June 28
• Staveley, Cumbria – July 12
• Middlewich – TBC
• Heswall – TBC

The following stores are also up for sale:

• Nairn
• Market Drayton
• Troon
• Blairgowrie
• Castle Douglas

What’s been happening with The Original Factory Shop?

Private equity firm Modella bought The Original Factory Shop back in February and has since launched a restructuring effort to renegotiate rents at 88 TOFS stores.

Modella is known for picking up struggling retailers, having also recently acquired Hobbycraft and WHSmith‘s high street shops.

It is set to rebrand all WHSmith high street stores to TGJones, and has brought in advisers to look at potential options for Hobbycraft.

At the end of April, Modella drew up plans to initiate a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) for TOFS.

Companies often use CVAs to prevent insolvency, which could otherwise result in store closures or the collapse of the entire business.

They allow firms to explore different strategies such as negotiating reduced rent rates with landlords.

TOFS previously told The Press and Journal that a “number of loss-making stores will have to close” as part of the restructuring.

It said at the time: “Closing stores is always a tough decision and we are committed to keeping as many stores open as possible.

And it is not only TOFS that is facing hard times. Hobbycraft is set to close nine stores come June 21.

WITH Father’s Day just around the corner, Morrison’s deal on Terry’s Chocolate Oranges has come at the perfect time.

The major supermarket has slashed the price of the beloved chocolate favourite and shoppers can choose from two different flavours.

Morrisons is selling the 90g ball in both the original and mint flavours for £1.50, for those with a member’s card.

The full price of the tasty treat is usually £2 and the reduced price is also cheaper than what Sainsbury’s and Tesco sell it for, which is £1.95 at both supermarkets.

Even with a Tesco Clubcard, Terry’s Chocolate Orange 90g costs £1.75, making the Morrisons offer cheaper.

Terry’s Chocolate Orange is a much-loved icon in the confectionery world and has been available to buy since 1932.

Around 44 million of the zesty treats are sold globally each year, so the brand has to tread carefully so as not to offend die-hard fans with new flavours.

Earlier this year, a TikTok account @belongwealth posted a video blowing viewers away, divulging a little-known secret about the household name.

The clip revealed that the iconic brand had another delicious product predating the chocolate orange.. the chocolate apple.

The poster gave some context to the history of the product, saying: “In 1926, Terry’s Chocolate Works, a family run factory in York, released a dessert chocolate apple.

“It did pretty well, so in 1932 they released a dessert chocolate orange, which did really well.”

According to the TikToker, the chocolate apple did not have the longevity of the orange ball we know and love today because during World War 2, the Terry’s chocolate factory was taken over to use as a base for building aircraft blades.

After the war, the factory was returned to the Terry’s.

But due to rationing and limitations on cocoa imports, the company phased out the less popular chocolate apple and focused on the much-loved orange.

How to save money on chocolate

We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…

Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.

Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.

Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.

Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.

They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.

Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.

So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

Currently, the Terry’s website lists the classic milk chocolate orange, dark chocolate orange, mint orange, plain milk chocolate, toffee crunch orange and exploding candy orange.

Disney+ has just unveiled a shock deal for new subscribers to its streaming platform.

For a limited time this June, you can get four months of Disney+ for just £1.99 per month, down from £4.99.

Disney+, £4.99 £1.99p/m for 4 months

This fantastic offer began today (11th June) and will run until 30th June, giving you just a few weeks to take advantage of the deal.

At its usual price of £4.99 per month, this promotion saves you a total of £12 over the four months.

That’s a massive 60% discount – a price drop you don’t often see from the House of Mouse’s streaming platform.

Deals like this are rare for Disney+.

The last time it ran a similar deal was back in September, and that was only for 3 months of streaming.

However, this promotion comes directly from Disney itself, making it a brilliant chance to save money on one of the most popular streaming services around.

It’s worth noting that this deal applies to the Disney+ Standard with Ads subscription, which is the service’s entry-level plan.

With this plan, you can stream in Full HD on two devices at the same time, and content is broken up by adverts.

Yep, it’s the no-frills version of Disney+ – but it’s still an absolute bargain at that reduced monthly cost.

For just £1.99 a month, you’ll get access to the entire Disney+ catalogue.

Parents, I imagine, will particularly appreciate this deal, with the school summer holidays fast approaching.

Naturally, the entire catalogue of Disney’s classic animated films is available to stream.

The latest addition to the platform is the live-action remake of Snow White – perfect if you missed it in cinemas (and are ready to face those CGI dwarves).

For Star Wars fans, the critically acclaimed Andor Series 2 is now available to stream in full.

Marvel lovers also have plenty to get excited about, with the latest series, Ironheart, set to premiere on 25th June.

But for my money, the biggest show on the horizon is Series 4 of The Bear.

This intense, heart-stirring and ever-so-slightly-stressful cooking drama is one of the best shows on TV, and the new season drops on 26th June.

I’ve been working up an appetite for this since that Season 3 finale last year.

Honestly, it’s worth the £1.99-per-month sign-up all by itself, in my opinion.

Kitchen dramas, superheroes, guilty-pleasure Mormon wife reality TV – it’s all there on Disney+.

Just make sure you sign up this month, before it returns to standard price.
