How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
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.

GRAB A FLIER 3 Lidl's flier can usually be found at the entrance of stores and lists big discounts Credit: Getty Grab an in-store magazine or flyer from your local supermarket. They contain information about discounts and sales. Aldi's leaflet is near the exit and published every two weeks. It lists six items at low prices in each issue. Recent offers include cucumbers for 69p, down from 89p, and a six-pack of apples for 89p, reduced from £1.49. Lidl's fliers are at the exit and reveal "pick of the week" discounts. These include 35 per cent on fresh fruit and veg, limited offers on meat, and multibuy offers on bakery items. Get three apple turnovers for £1.50.

SEARCH LIKE A PRO Use Google to see when a favourite retailer had its sale last year. Plot these dates in your diary - they can act as a rough guide for when this year's sale could launch. For example, if you search "Tu Clothing Sale", select the button 'Tools' and change 'Any Time' to 'Past year', you can work out when the previous sales were. Visit for discounts across shops like Dunelm and Boots. Follow brands on Instagram and TikTok. Many give away discount codes and offers on these platforms that don't appear elsewhere. Sage Appliances are running an Instagram competition to win a Sage Barista Touch Impress coffee machine, for example.

'You can sometimes get an extra 20 per cent off during quieter months like February or September.' CHECK PRICES Check an item's price history to see the cheapest it has been sold for. This is a good benchmark to figure out when to buy your shopping. If shops are selling the item at a higher price, it's worth waiting to see if it drops. Use to see what Argos has previously sold products for, and to track Amazon prices. Copy the link to the product page.

Instead, savvy shoppers will have the opportunity to reserve the trendy garden chair starting next week, with collection available in July.

Top gardening trends of 2025 GARDENING experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025. Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said! What else is on offer? If you're searching for a hanging garden chair, it's a good idea to compare prices to get the best deal. Lidl currently seems to have the most affordable option available. While B&Q offers a similar chair, it comes at a much higher price. The Maeria Dark Grey Hanging Egg Chair is currently available for £160. Meanwhile, Asda's Hanging Egg Chair is available online and in-store for £148.
