If you're looking for a way to perfect a clean and manicured lawn, this garden item is said to be worth the investment.
Lidl is currently selling the Parkside Electric Lawn Trimmer for just £24.99.
And this handy buy is even cheaper for Lidl Plus app users, at just £19.99.
It is designed for "quick and clean lawn trimming", even in hard-to-reach areas.
With a 300W motor, the gadget features line spools that can be changed without tools.
It also includes a protective hood with a trimmer line cutter, as well as an ergonomic handle.
The gadget has an integrated power cable strain relief for the 10 metre power cable.
This buy, which hits the Lidl middle aisle on Thursday, May 15, boasts a cutting diameter of 23 centimetres.
The trimmer is similar to a Bosch buy, which has a slightly higher price.
Bosch's Universal GrassCut 18V-26-500 is currently available for £100.
B&M shoppers are giving their gardens a summer glow up with £12 bargain
This buy is described as "flexible and comfortable" with a telescopic height adjustment.
However, this item has a lower wattage than the Lidl gadget, meaning it may not be as ideal for larger gardens.
The tilting head guarantees precise trimming under benches and hard-to-reach spots, and helps to protect your flowerbeds.
Unlike the Lidl buy, this gadget is fully cordless, making it easier to manage.
According to manufacturers, the battery life on this buy has the capacity to trim the edges of up to six tennis courts.
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.
Remember to compare prices
It is important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for.

We moved to dream home in rural part of Scotland -it's going to be ruined by monstrosity the size of 21 football pitches
The renewables company says noise and disruption will be kept 'to a minimum' POWER PAIN We moved to dream home in rural part of Scotland -it's going to be ruined by monstrosity the size of 21 football pitches Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RESIDENTS in a rural paradise have hit out at plans for a battery energy storage site the size of 21 football pitches. The proposed 500-megawatt facility is being mooted for a field near Rothienorman, Aberdeenshire, despite strong opposition from the local community. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up While designed to store excess wind and solar power to support the country's renewable energy transition, the development has sparked concern over safety, visual impact and disruption to rural life. Riane Thomson-Bialy moved to a home overlooking the site in January. She said she received a letter from Blackford Renewables two weeks later, notifying residents of the project. She told STV: 'You don't move to the middle of nowhere, with everything you've desired for several years, just to find out you have this large-scale monstrosity literally in your back garden. 'It's our dream property – I've got my horses out the back and my outdoor school. 'It was a bit of a shock.' The number of battery energy storage sites being proposed in Scotland is expected to increase drastically as part of the move towards net zero. Over 240 large-scale 'battery energy storage systems' are being planned – or are already operating – in Scotland. Criticism often centres on fire risk and emergency planning. Although industry experts say improvements in technology have reduced these risks, residents remain unconvinced. Scotland's gang war heats up at taxi firm FIREBOMBED and boss targeted by 'machete gang' Marguerite Fleming moved to the village ten years ago and lives on the opposite side of the site. She said the community has already endured five years of construction for a substation and grid stability facility and faces at least another two years of building work if the facility goes ahead. She said: 'They are not going to be able to screen that construction noise from us. 'The last six months have been the most stressful we have had in our lives for the last ten years. It's unbelievable.' She says the risk of fire is deeply concerning for locals. 'We appreciate that with the improved technology fires are a lower risk, but they are a risk. 'BESS sites are insured for fire – they don't take into account how residents might escape from any potential fires.' A public consultation over the site is ongoing until August 26. A statement from Blackwell Renewables read: 'Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a vital role in Scotland's energy transition and contribute to energy security. "Projects such as Blackford Energy Park will help to create a more efficient, resilient, and affordable energy system. 'We have actively sought feedback from the local community and stakeholders through public consultation to help shape the proposals for Blackford Energy Park. "Our design takes advantage of the site's natural topography to minimise visual impact, and we have carefully selected the proposed equipment to reduce noise impact. "Our recent noise assessment shows that noise impact on the local area will be minimal."

Diner's fury as trendy Ibiza bar charges her £10 just to hang her BAG up – and she has the receipt to prove it
The restaurant hit back saying it was a 'misunderstanding' ON THE HOOK Diner's fury as trendy Ibiza bar charges her £10 just to hang her BAG up – and she has the receipt to prove it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OUTRAGED diners have slammed an Ibiza bar after it charged a diner £10 to hang her handbag on a table hook. The fuming customer even shared the receipt to prove the bizarre fee which was slapped on her check at a sushi restaurant on the Spanish island. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The restaurant is located in holiday hotspot Ibiza (stock) 3 A restaurant charged a customer £10 for a 'bag hook' Credit: Getty Tourist Laura Cunei took to social media to share the mind-boggling check which she received after eating at Wakame Ibiza. The receipt said she had been charged €12 (£10) for "gancho bolsa" which means "bag hook" as part of her meal on August 5. She wrote: "The waitress kindly offers to hang our bags on a little hook at the table. "We decline her offer, but due to her insistence, we accepted. "Our surprise upon seeing the this normal? Is it legal?" The stunned diner added: "When we saw the receipt, we told them it didn't seem right to pay that much because we hadn't asked for it. "They told us we could keep the hook if we wanted. "After our refusal and our incredulous expressions, they gave us a new receipt without the 'bag hook' tag." Seething social media users piled on outraged comments on the social media post. Hospitality expert Jesus Soriano, who uploads real-life examples of restaurant rip-offs, shared her post on TikTok. Monkey gang caught 'running scam' targeting tourists at sacred temple One outraged user said: "They'll be charging us to breathe next." Another user even made the jaw-dropping claim that they had been charged extra for having a "good" table. Meanwhile another weighed in saying on one occasion they had been charged nearly £2 per person for not having starters. Spain's consumer protection agency OCU replied to the post on X giving a link to file a complaint. The restaurant's furious bosses later claimed the charge had been a "misunderstanding". Wakame Ibiza said on Instagram: "The amount that appeared on the ticket was the result of an error in our system. "It was marked as a merchandising item with a price, when it should have been shown with zero cost." It comes as diners around the world have been slapped with other unexpected surcharges as part of their restaurant receipts. In the US, outraged diners slammed restaurants for adding extra surcharges onto receipts. The hidden fees were branded "silly and disingenuous" by online users, who poured out on social media to vent their fury at the changes. Tourists have also reported other alleged scams in popular holiday hotspots. Fuming Brit holidaymakers reeled in by prices as low as £7 accused Croatian-based Carwiz of bullying sales tactics, fabricating damage, verbal abuse and even assault. Online reviews of the firm's franchises seen by The Sun allege staff have forged documents, up-sold unnecessary insurance, and taken unauthorised payments from credit cards.
