It will shield you from the elements and provide a sheltered night's sleep on your outdoor adventure.
B&M is selling the Outdoor Adventure 2-3 Person Camping Tent for just £18.
Shoppers have been advised to hurry if they want to snatch up this deal as stocks are low.
"Gear up for your wildest great escape yet with this outdoor Adventure 2-3 Personal Camping Tent," the product description read.
The bargain tent can fit up to two to three people comfortably, making it ideal for a family trip or sharing with your friends.
A similar buy is listed on the North Face website, but at a significantly higher price.
The Stormbreak 2-Person Tent is currently available for a total of £225.
With a similar capacity allowance, this pricier buy is described as water-resistant, breathable, and lightweight.
Like the B&M buy, it also features a large domed design but has two doors and two twin-zip.
Here's how to do festival looks on a budget - and save the planet
"The shape allows for an abundance of headroom and high-low ventilation for maximum breathability," the product description read.
"While the fully seam-sealed canopy and floor keep you warm, dry, and ready for a day of adventure."
So whatever kind of outdoor adventure you have planned, a comfy and affordable tent is sure to elevate it.
Meanwhile, Lidl is currently selling an air bed that will also make your camping experience more pleasant.
In fact, the bargain retailer recently launched an entire range of camping gear ahead of the summer.

‘It's not great', cry locals as Greggs set to open first bakery in upmarket Scots town

Punters flocked to social media to react to the news BAKED OFF 'It's not great', cry locals as Greggs set to open first bakery in upmarket Scots town Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RESIDENTS in a Scots town have been left furious after Greggs lodged plans to open its first bakery in the area. The high street favourite has set its sights on the Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland shop on Fenwick Road, Giffnock. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The chain has set its sights on a Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland shop Credit: Google Plans for an "interior fit-out of an existing ground floor retail unit" have been submitted to East Renfrewshire Council. Locals flocked to social media to react to the proposals, with some saying they are "gutted" at the loss of the charity branch. One fumed: "Everyone loves the Chest Heart and Stroke, do we need another food place? More garbage lying about the street." Another put: "We don't really need another eating place. What a shame for the people who work in the shop and the customers." A third weighed in: "I really don't mind Greggs, but it's such a nice individual shop. It's sad to see independents closing down." A fourth added: "Great, another outlet churning out ultra-processed junk we definitely don't need." A fifth said: "That must not be allowed to happen. The CHS store is an important retail operation in Giffnock." But other Giffnock residents were quick to welcome the news. One said: "Looking forward to it." Another put: "Delighted, I love a steak bake." I tried the 'secret' Greggs menu items only available in Scotland A third added: "Greggs. Not posh. But REALLY good." Greggs was approached for comment. Last year, the bakery giant won a planning battle to open their first store at Glasgow Central Station. Council officials knocked back proposals for the popular chain to open up in a unit formerly occupied by Patisserie Valerie and Shelter Scotland. Glasgow City Council's planning committee said that the application wouldn't respect the appearance of a listed building. But Greggs was given the green light after submitting new plans.

Our dream cruise was like being on a floating WETHERSPOONS with drunk passengers throwing up & kids left coated in soot

The family said they were offered a £9 ticket for a show by cruise staff after a series of disasters SPOONS AT SEA Our dream cruise was like being on a floating WETHERSPOONS with drunk passengers throwing up & kids left coated in soot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAMILY have slammed their nightmare £8,000 cruise after drunk passengers turned the ship into a floating Wetherspoons. Iain and Sally Wright, from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, said the dream holiday turned into chaos after the ship's funnels left their two young kids covered in "black soot". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The Wrights were left 'disappointed' after their two-week holiday on MSC Cruises Virtuosa Credit: Kennedy News and Media 4 Rowdy passengers on the cruise Credit: Kennedy News and Media 4 The family-of-four were looking forward to the cruise Credit: Kennedy News and Media The couple boarded the MSC Cruises Virtuosa with their two children and mother-in-law on July 12 for a two-week trip across Spain. They thought the ship - hailed as "family-friendly" - would be perfect for their 11-year-old son Jack and eight-year-old daughter Molly. But shortly after boarding, Iain, 41, claims the drunkenness of passengers was "insane". Iain said: "But the level of drunkenness was insane. It was worse than a Wetherspoons. It would take you half an hour to get a drink. It was just horrendous. "It felt like an 18-30s club at times. If you were by the pool, you'd just hear constant swearing and people getting louder through the day. "We just thought 'what have we spent our money on?' It became like Fawlty Towers." On one occasion, Iain says a drunk guest threw up next to the family's table while they were playing Scrabble. After complaining to MSC staff, he said it took an hour for them to mop up the "smelly" mess. Things took a turn for the worse when kids Jack and Molly went on the top deck to see if the water slides were open. They returned "covered in black soot" that had spouted from the ship's funnels, Iain said. Royal Caribbean cruise passengers left 'vomiting' as mystery illness hits vessel & over 140 people are ill on board The furious dad said: "Jack's skin was covered in black stuff, Molly's swimming costume was stained all over her and it was on her arms. "We went down to guest services and told them our kids have been covered in the black soot from the engine I think and she said 'yeah that happens sometimes when we pull away from a port'. "She said we can make a claim about the damaged costume. "While we were there, there were other people complaining to say they'd been covered in the black soot too." Iain went on to explain that Molly started itching and broke out in hives two days later. A doctor told them that she had suffered an allergic reaction from the fumes. The little girl was given hydrocortisone cream to treat the itching. Iain said: "We get accidents happen but customer services just didn't care. They acted like we were the problem for wasting their time. Their only intention was to disprove your complaint." Iain claims the family were even offered a £9 ticket for a premium show on-board the cruise after raising their complaints. The family said they spent the rest of the trip inside their cabin due to the "awful" atmosphere on board the ship. MSC Cruises said they "regretted" that the family's experience did not meet expectations, adding that they would be reaching out to ensure their "concerns are properly reviewed and addressed".

Best electric toothbrush deals for August 2025, from Oral-B to Philips

Whether you need a simple, budget-friendly electric toothbrush or a premium model that comes with an app and digital display, there's a strong chance that you'll be able to find one on sale. These gadgets are often discounted, including brushes from popular brands such as Oral-B and Philips. However, not every discount is as good as it appears. We monitor electric toothbrush prices throughout the year and have noticed that some top-sellers often fluctuate. Electric toothbrushes are often listed with a 'one-off' discount of 50 per cent or more, but in reality, these deals repeat every month. With this in mind, we'll make sure to tell you if a deal is actually worth snapping up and when it's worth holding off. Below, you'll find the best electric toothbrush deals at Amazon, Boots, Currys and more, with discounts on models from our favourite tried-and-tested brands. Our testers have put many of these models through their paces, so you can be sure that you're getting a genuine deal on a toothbrush that actually works. Why you can trust us to find the best electric toothbrush deals Our team of deals experts track the prices of electric toothbrushes across the year, so they know how to spot a good offer from a bad one. We cover major sales events, including Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, so we are well-versed in finding the best savings on top and trending products. Plus, we'll only recommend electric toothbrushes from brands that have been tried and tested by our experts. You can save more than half price when you buy the Oral-B iO3 bundle at Amazon. As well as a travel case, you get five replacement heads, which should be enough to keep you going for more than a year. The bundle hasn't dropped to less than £100 before, so now's a good time to snap it up – especially as it's rare to find a first-time discount on electric toothbrushes. We haven't tested this exact version, but Oral-B's iO models regularly feature in our round-up of the best electric toothbrushes, so it's a range that we trust. Right now, you can save £20 on the Ordo Sonic + at Boots and Amazon. Hold tight if you miss out on this discount, though, as the toothbrush is likely to drop in price again when Black Friday lands in the autumn. In his review, our tech writer, Steve Hogarty, praised its 'powerful clean' and W-shaped bristle that 'performs well around hard-to-reach areas'. There are four brushing modes, a timer and a silicone centre on the toothbrush head that helps to polish teeth. Sonicare toothbrushes are expensive, with premium models costing more than £500. Thanks to this Boots deal, you can save £180 on the 7100, which sits on the more affordable end of the range. Our tech writer, Steve, had high praise for the sonic cleaning technology. In his review, he said that it produces 'some genuinely dentist-fresh results'. If you notice it creep back up in price, it's worth waiting, as it's likely to get another discount soon. If you're heading off on holiday soon and want a sleek, compact alternative to your electric toothbrush, you'll want to check out this deal on the Philips one. The slim brush handle houses a single triple-A battery, and it delivers 'a solid 13,000 micro-vibrations', writes our tech reviewer, Steve. We often see deals on the toothbrush, and right now, you can get it for less than £20 at Superdrug. Our best mid-range electric toothbrush currently has more than 50 per cent off at Amazon. This puts it at around £80 less than its price listed at the online retailer for the rest of the year. Our tech reviewer, Steve, said the iO6 'delivers the same cleaning performance' as premium iO models and praised the five cleaning modes that 'provide plenty of versatility for your particular oral care needs'. It's on a limited-time offer, but don't worry if you miss out, as it's likely to be on offer again. What to look for when buying an electric toothbrush All of our best electric toothbrushes have strong cleaning power and are effective at removing plaque buildup. Some brushes, including those in the Oral-B iO range, have oscillating brush heads, so they rotate around your teeth to clean them. Others, such as those in the Philips sonicare range, are 'sonic,' vibrating thousands of times per minute. You'll find that some models come with pressure sensors, which beep or light up if you're applying too much pressure while brushing. Many also have two-minute timers that help you stick to the recommended brushing time. These are the most important basic features, and you shouldn't buy a toothbrush without them. However, there are many more features on offer, from magnetic chargers to apps. We list all of these features and more in our reviews, so you can be sure that you're getting all the extras that you need.
