In a recent video, the mum showed off the "perfect for holiday" summer buys she picked up in the supermarket this week.
Tesco's in-house fashion label, F&F, is renowned for its stylish buys at affordable prices.
But Clubcard users can save an extra 25% on items if they purchase them before Sunday, June 29.
Lara, a size 14, had only nipped to the supermarket to grab bin bags and coffee when she stumbled across the promotional signs in the F&F aisles.
"Why did no one tell me there was 25% off?" she cried.
"Obviously that roped me in, and there was so much [new things]. I didn't think there would be, I felt like I was only just there last week.
"They had loads of sizes as well. So Monday mornings are a good time to go to Tesco guys."
First up, she bagged a £25 black and white polka dot satin midi dress which she described as "just beautiful".
She also found a gold sheer metallic dress for £19.50 that she insists is so pretty you'll want to wear it by the pool and at night time too.
She gushed: "How beautiful is that? Oh my god. That on holiday, some chunky jewellery.
Tesco fans are set to love the latest items in stores for 25 per cent off when you use clubcard
"It's got this wee slip dress inside which is perfect so it's not see-through. So you could probably wear it at night as well. Obsessed. The colour is just everything.
"Guys it's a win win any time that's on. It's just a bargain."
Next, the Scots fashionista picked up a £22.50 cream crochet mini dress that she said would be the perfect day-to-night outfit if you "get a wee slip dress or Skims underneath".
Lara styled it with a gold belt to cinch in the waist, and sized up to a large for a comfy look.
But it was two summery co-ords that she was most impressed with.
She bagged a £25 white maxi skirt with a black floral pattern, sizing down to a size 12, and matching bandeau crop top for £14.

She hailed the outfit as "the perfect co-ord for your holiday", adding: "How stunning is this? I genuinely love it.
"It's not anything I would ever wear, especially the long skirt. But I am obsessed. The print, the fit, the black and white. Oh my god, I want to scream.
"How beautiful is that print? Oh my goodness. Love it. Love, love, love.
"And it's got this stretchy material at the back."
She also tracked down a pretty sage green high-waisted mini skirt and tie-front waistcoat, priced at £22.50 each.
"Look at the colours of that. That sage green, all embroidered", she gushed.
"This is going to be the new viral co-ord 100 per cent. It's stunning. And it's really good quality, it's lined as well.
"This is beautiful, I can 100 per cent guarantee this is going to sell out so quick."
Lara's haul should have set her back £151 in total, but she managed to get it for just £113.25, saving £37.75.
She said: "When you've got the 25% off it makes a good bit of difference."
And fashion fans were loving her gorgeous picks, with her video racking up 49,000 views.
One gushed: "Love the waistcoat co-ord set and the swimsuit cover up, you have styled so well. Running to Tesco."
"You look great in all of them", someone else added.
Meanwhile, a third wrote: "You just keep finding better outfits."
More supermarket bargains
While you're in store, you may also want to keep an eye out for the £19.50 'chuck on' summer dress that is "gorgeous on" and comes in three colours.
Fashion fans are in a frenzy over the "prettiest" £35 Tesco dress too - it's perfect for weddings and comes in on-trend, classy colour.

American tries fish and chips for the first time and his reaction is priceless
An American living in the UK sought out his first fish and chip serving, and while he loved his battered haddock and chips, he heaped praise on one unlikely sauce Fish and chips in Britain is a culinary delight loved by millions. And it seems our American are friends are darting across the pond to sample the delicious dish for themselves. An American influencer, now living in the UK, went to the ever-popular seaside town of Brighton in West Sussex in search of "good" fish and chips. He was instead left flabbergasted with the taste of this one particular dip that's perhaps not so popular in southern England. Tiktok user Red Buss Russ, using the social handle of @redbussruss has 15.4k followers and almost 600k likes and has made a name for himself as he shares his opinions after trying British staples. In the one-minute video, Russ films himself with his partner sitting outside a fish and chip parlour where he opted for a battered haddock with chips, complete with tartare sauce. His partner went for a meat pie with thick gravy and chips. After the pair had been served, Russ was shocked about the size of the fish, describing it as 'massive'. He said: "It smelled really good... And its taste, dang! That was some good fish. It was a strong blend of flavours, but it was very satisfying and crispy. The haddock tasted amazing. The chips were nicely done, too." Full of compliments, it appeared Russ was well and truly bowled over by his first taste of the British delicacy. He dubbed his experience a generous nine out of 10 - but one sauce caught him completely off-guard. That was his partner's gravy. "My god, it was the best gravy I'd ever tasted in my life... It's not an exaggeration," he said. Gravy is not an uncommon sauce to dip chips into, but it's more popular in northern towns and cities. Some people opt to drench their entire dish in the meaty condiment, while others prefer it on the side. Typically associated with a roast dinner, gravy has pushed through the ranks in recent decades with fast-food giant KFC offering it as a side dish to customers. Russ concluded his trip to Brighton with a Mr Whippy and a chocolate flake, which he gave a 10 out of 10. Coming from the States, Russ' videos focus on trying British delicacies, from the famous M&S sandwiches to Greggs pastries and other supermarket goodies. His latest video trying the fish and chips has accumulated 16.1k views at the time of publishing. Similarly, in another story published by the Mirror, Russ tried Gregg's cheese and onion bake, chicken bake, steak bake and the iconic sausage roll for the first time. Russ described its "nice, creamy filling" and hailed the "bread" for being "nice and flaky." He said: "I really enjoyed that, it was decently filling," giving it a solid seven out of 10.

Kim Kardashian bares her sculpted abs with youthful Kris Jenner for new SKIMS drop
Kim Kardashian showed off her sculpted abs alongside mom Kris Jenner who put on a youthful appearance for the upcoming Roberto Cavalli x SKIMS collection. The TV personality, 44 - who was recently seen in Venice ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish nuptials - jumped to her Instagram page on Thursday to give a glimpse at BTS snaps from the campaign. The swimwear line is set to become available later this week on Friday, June 27 - and offers a number of pieces from bikinis to stylish dresses. The mom-of-four wowed in a patterned bikini top with a plunging neckline as well as matching bottoms. Kim continued to rock a blonde bob for the photo shoot and added a pair of flashy earrings for a finishing touch. The reality star struck a number of poses inside the entryway of a spacious bathroom and in another image, she gazed at her reflection in a large mirror. The post also included pictures as she was joined by her mom Kris who was also a part of the latest campaign. Kim wore a one-piece swimsuit with a lowcut, scooped neckline and had a thin strip of fabric that was tied around her tiny waist. She slipped into a pair of open-toed, gold heels and accessorized the look with a pair of dangly earrings. Her momager donned a flowy coverup that was comprised of the same striped pattern and a scarf was wrapped around her short, darker locks. The pair took an assortment of snaps while standing in front of a wood-paneled wall to flaunt the items from the new collection. In the caption of the Instagram carousel, the beauty simply penned to her 356 million followers: 'CAVALLI x SKIMS BTS,' followed by a video camera emoji. Jenner also uploaded some of the same images to her own page to help promote the collection with the summer season in full swing. Earlier this week on Tuesday, Kim put on a busty display in other pictures for the campaign and looked nearly unrecognizable as she went back to blonde with the curly bob. In one image, the beauty showed off her toned figure wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a scooped neckline and tiger print design. Jenner could also be seen wearing a flowy coverup that fell down past her ankles and was also made with the same tiger print. A video was included in the post to show Kris whispering into her daughter's ear as other models moved about behind them. Another snap was taken inside a walk-in closet as Kardashian donned a skintight blue-patterned dress which clung to her frame and contained a plunging neckline on the front. Kim later turned up the heat in a printed bikini top as well as matching bottoms as she soaked up the warm sunshine while lounging on a chair outside. The media personality and her mom also paused for photos inside a retro-inspired kitchen - and the SKIMS founder continued to flaunt her summer-ready body in a bandeau top as well as matching bikini bottoms. She added a pair of fitted, capri leggings as Jenner wore a look made of the same print while sitting at a circular table. A short reel showed Kim grab a slice of toast from the table and she continued to nibble on the breakfast snack in an open doorway. Jenner was the forefront in one picture as she posed on a lounge chair inside a spacious living room. She wore an animal-print swimsuit and coverup while her daughter wore a similar one-piece ensemble on a chair not far behind her. The latest collection is described as: 'Roberto Cavalli's exotic Italian glamour merges with SKIMS signature silhouettes in this limited-edition collection that adds bold, sexy luxury to every swim look.' During an interview with Vogue, the TV personality opened up about how the campaign with Cavalli came to be. 'Skims can be really simple; it's all about the fits and the materials and the way they make you feel, but when you go on vacation sometimes you want something different.' Kim added, 'We were making our own prints and I was just thinking, "You know what? There has to be some way to do a Skims Cavalli collab…"' The Kardashians star then explained that she decided to reach out to the creative director of the brand, Fausto Puglisi, which led to the collaboration coming to life. The beauty has been keeping busy and recently celebrated her BFF La La Anthony's 43rd birthday this week - and shared snaps from a special dinner to her Instagram page on Wednesday. In the two selfies, Kim was also joined by her reclusive brother Rob Kardashian - which sent fans wild. The mom-of-four has whisked herself away to Venice, where she was seen on Thursday ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding which is set to take place on Friday, June 27. Last month in May, Kim and her mom Kris notably attended Lauren's bachelorette bash in Paris. Other celebrities that were at the party were Eva Longoria and Katy Perry. Other A-list guests that are expected to attend include Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah Winfrey. As she arrived to the romantic city of Venice, Kim turned heads as she showed off her slim waist in a Balenciaga ensemble. The reality star donned a strapless, black bandeau top as well as a maxi skirt that clung to her frame. She layered the outfit with a black jacket that was draped down towards her elbows and slipped into a pair of snakeskin boots. Her hair was pulled back and styled into a sleek bun to prevent any strands from falling onto her face.

Peak online dating — why we've broken up with apps
S ound the alarms: the dating app is on its deathbed. It will be chronicled by Benedictine monks as one of those great historical events of recent times next to their entries on the fall of the Berlin Wall and the creation of TikTok. Bumble, the online dating app, has announced that it is axing a third of its staff. Its CEO said the industry was at an 'inflection point'. I met my boyfriend in real life. So I hate to say it but I'm not surprised. I've tried them all: Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and even other, less reputable ones. When I was in the lift and had nothing to do I'd open up Tinder for a surreptitious scroll. When I was on the Tube into work commuters would gather round and we'd swipe through sundry potential partners.
