How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

Emma Raducanu parents' boyfriend ban & Carlos Alcaraz's girlfriend difficulties

Tennis stars seemingly live a life of luxury, but there are certain aspects of the sport that can prove difficult, as Emma Raducanu, Carlos Alcaraz and Andy Murray know all too well Life as a top tennis player may appear luxurious, but the demanding lifestyle can come at a significant cost. Achieving success on the international stage requires more than talent - it takes an incredible amount of time and dedication to training. As a result, elite tennis players face challenges in their private lives, sacrificing leisure activities and precious time with loved ones, while forging romantic connections can also prove difficult - something that Emma Raducanu, Carlos Alcaraz and Andy Murray know all too well. ‌ During an interview with The Sunday Times last year, Alcaraz acknowledged the pressures of maintaining a love life, saying: "I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time." ‌ Just a year earlier, he told Vogue:"It's complicated, never staying in one place. It's hard to find the person who can share things with you if you're always in different parts of the world." Whether Alcaraz's personal circumstances have since shifted remains to be seen, but the tennis pro has yet to go public with a relationship. British sensation Raducanu, meanwhile, told The Times about a boyfriend ban in her household during her formative years as a player. She said: "My parents were very much against [boyfriends] as it interfered with training. When I was younger, I wasn't even allowed to hang out with my girl friends. A lot of the time I was very resentful, but it made me very confident and comfortable in my own company." After reaching adulthood, Raducanu went public with her relationship with Carlo Agostinelli in 2023. Sadly, insiders told The Sun the next year that they had split and that the relationship had "run its course". Even tennis veterans like Murray can recount the clash between professional life and personal affairs. Murray recently told GQ about the effect his career had on his honeymoon with Kim Sears after their 2015 wedding. He said: "When we got married, our honeymoon was in Barcelona, and I was doing a training block. ‌ "Essentially, we got to spend a couple of nights with each other, but I was practising during the day, training and going to the gym and doing all my physio work. [A honeymoon] is very important for most couples. "Maybe for her it was too, but she was willing to sacrifice that to allow me to chase my goals. She's super important to everything I achieved, so now I'm trying my best to make up for all that." He added: "She's been a huge support and a massive, massive part of my career. When you're playing, you don't always appreciate that. I think a lot of individual athletes - me included - would be selfish at times. You think a lot about yourself and your own performance, and your mood is reflective of whether you've had a good match. Say, I won. I'm in a good mood. I lost, I'm in a bad mood. "It's not really fair on the people around you. But even at the end, when I was struggling physically and was not winning many matches, and we had young children, Kim was always so supportive of me continuing to play because she knew I loved the sport and loved playing."

Florian Wirtz to be joined in Liverpool by girlfriend who has 100k admirers

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and the German playmaker will bring his girlfriend Aaliyah with him to Anfield Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz is moving closer to completing a record move to Liverpool. The German midfielder could soon become the most expensive player in Premier League history and will be joined by his girlfriend Aaliyah on Merseyside. Wirtz, 22, appears poised to join Arne Slot's team after Liverpool reportedly struck a deal with Bayer Leverkusen. The two clubs have agreed to a £100m fee that could rise to £116m, potentially breaking the British transfer record currently held by Chelsea's Moises Caicedo. ‌ However, the German midfielder won't be the only new arrival in Liverpool as he'll be joined by his partner Aaliyah. Wirtz has kept his personal life private, but photos of him with Aaliyah began to emerge last year. ‌ She was spotted on the pitch at the BayArena celebrating Leverkusen's unbeaten league and cup double before their defeat in the Europa League final. She also supported the Germany international in the stands at last summer's Euros. Aaliyah was pictured chatting with Sophia Weber, Kai Havertz's other half, and Wirtz's father in the stands before joining her partner on the pitch after their quarter-final defeat to Spain. Away from football, Aaliyah is an influencer. Although her Instagram account is private, she has amassed over 100k followers on TikTok, where she shares fashion inspiration. The Daily Star reports that she has also collaborated with Cologne-based photographer Jonas Herrlein. The couple are believed to have started dating in 2022, around the time when Wirtz suffered a cruciate ligament injury. As reported by German publication BILD, Aaliyah supported him during his recovery. He overcame the setback and played a crucial role in Leverkusen's unexpected Bundesliga title victory last year. Aaliyah has also become part of the family, being photographed with his parents and siblings at matches. ‌ Wirtz's transfer to Liverpool could surpass the current £115m British record set in August 2023 when Chelsea bought Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion, outbidding Liverpool in the process. Liverpool had previously seen bids of £109m and £113m rejected by Leverkusen before finally making headway. Wirtz is now set to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms on the deal. The Reds have already been busy in the transfer market. They moved quickly to sign Wirtz's team-mate Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m and are close to a deal for Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, while also being linked with an interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
