With a Parkside Cordless Combi-Shear from Lidl, lawn edges can be tidied up, as well as hedges shaped.
This is a 2-in-1 grass and hedge trimmer, selling for just £9.99 from Lidl, which is also better than regular prices for the product at £12.99.
Alternatively, Bosch are selling their Li-Ion Cordless Grass & Shrub Shear for £57 more at £66.99, that also serves as a multi-functional tool.
Despite being higher in price, reviews on the product from Bosch suggest it does not deliver on higher quality.
With an overall rating of 3.5 stars, customers have recognised some faults of the Bosch tool in their review: "Nice tool and does the job but battery life is awful on the one I got and it always sounds as if it's struggling."
Other DIY'ers are concerned about its strength: "Just bought it, initially thought it's well built, not sure about power."
Another added: "Only downside is the power doesn't last for long which is a great pity."
The Lidl alternative can therefore provide the same tool for cheaper, and more powerful with a 4V/2Ah Li-Ion battery rather than Bosch's 3.6V/1.5Ah.
The battery is said to be able to last for 55-60 minutes, with a one metre USB-C charging cable included in the accessories, as well as blade guard for the grass trimmer and hedge trimmer blade.
Furthermore, it is described as an "easy-to-operate trimmer" with a tool-free click system for switching blades.
I tried 'magic' Lidl garden hose - you need to get it, it's perfect for summer
This useful product removes the need to buy separate appliances for trimming the lawn and bushes, helping the garden stay neat and tidy.
It is among a range of budget garden gadgets provided by Lidl that shoppers can turn to instead of more high-end brands.
They are also selling a Parkside Robot Lawnmower available for just £199 rather than Bosch's £609 version of a Indego S 500 Cordless Robotic Lawnmower.
This gadget is useful cutting larger areas of grass in the garden, which allows 500 square-metres of lawn to be mowed.

Lidl's sell-out pizza oven is back in shops this week – it's a dupe for a much more expensive one
Find out how much you can save versus buying the Ninja version HOT STUFF Lidl's sell-out pizza oven is back in shops this week – it's a dupe for a much more expensive one Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIDL is bringing back its sell-out pizza oven in shops this coming week. The Grillmeister Gas Pizza Oven costs just £79.99 and it's back in stores next Thursday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Lidl Grillmeister Gas Pizza Oven is much cheaper than the Ninja version Credit: Lidl The gadget is a whopping £170 cheaper than the Ninja version and it's sure to be popular with shoppers once again. You can use the oven to cook your own crispy pizzas or fresh baguettes, and you can eat them straight from the oven. That makes the gadget perfect for garden parties and entertaining. It has a removable pizza stone and a door with latch and viewing window so you can keep an eye on your pizzas while they're cooking. The oven can reach 400C in just 15 minutes. If you're wanting to save space it comes with foldable feet. The oven includes a gas bottle connection hose and pressure reducing valve, and it's suitable for 5 and 11kg gas bottles. It also comes with a three-year warranty. It looks to be a good dupe for the Ninja Artisan Electric Outdoor Pizza Oven & Air Fryer, which is currently £249.99 on the Ninja website. The Ninja version usually sells for an RRP of £299.99. Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel You should bear in mind that the Lidl version doesn't have an air fryer function, but if you're fine with this then you can make a huge saving. Lidl recently sold another pizza oven for the even cheaper price of £29.99. The Grillmeister Barbecue Pizza Oven can be used on charcoal or gas barbecues. How much are other pizza ovens selling for? It's always worth shopping around and comparing products to make sure you're getting the best deal. Another more affordable option is the Gas Tabletop Pizza Oven with Cover which is currently on clearance at Argos for £54. The portable black steel pizza oven also uses gas and runs on propane. Argos says the oven is "light enough to take on trips" and "fits neatly on a table". If you're looking to splash out more there's the Ooni Koda 12 Gas Fuel Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven. It's currently on offer at John Lewis but it still costs £239.20. Its description says it can cook Neapolitan-style pizzas "in 60 seconds flat". "No assembly, no mess, no fuss, just quick and simple cooking for friends and family gatherings," it says.

How to save money on pizza TAKEAWAY pizzas taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on pizza: Cashback websites - TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your pizza through them. They're paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you'll get cashback on orders placed through them. Discount codes - Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order. Make you own topping - One savvy customer noticed that Domino's charges up to 70p MORE for pizzas on its menu compared to ordering the same one through the "create your own" option. It's worth trying out to see if it makes a difference before you place your next order. Buy it from the shops - It might not taste exactly the same but you'll save the most money by picking up your favourite pizza from your local supermarket. Some Asda stores sell freshly made ones from the pizza counter where prices start at £2.

Cupra Formentor is an SUV for hot hatch fans
In many ways, this is a vehicle for drivers who need a practical family crossover but aren't ready to give up on hot hatch-style performance and driver engagement. The Formentor is all the better for its recent facelift, including styling changes, interior upgrades and mechanical improvements. Looks-wise, the somewhat tired-looking big grille from the old model has been ditched in favour of a heavily sculpted shark-like face that has a more contemporary and aggressive appearance. Triangular matrix LEDs further enhance the dynamic and slightly menacing look. The interior is well laid-out (Image: T&A) The general appearance of the car is a fusion between SUV scale and coupe styling, making for one of the best-looking vehicles in this price bracket. The rear end gets a new light bar with a central Curpa badge that lights up under braking. The Formentor can do the family thing quite nicely, with a roomy interior and a decent-sized boot measuring 420-litres. Legroom is plentiful front and back, while the rear seats also get a fold-down armrest with two cup holders, and there are two USB ports available to back-seat passengers. Behind the wheel, there's plenty to like about the Formentor, especially in VZ1 2.0-litre turbo guise, tested here. The engine pumps of 333ps distributed through all four wheels, combined with a meaty 420Nm of torque. It makes for a very grippy, sure footed vehicle – a sensation helped by the fact an electro-hydraulic torque splitter system on the rear axle, sending power to the wheel that needs it most. The Cupra's paintwork glistens in the evening sunshine (Image: T&A) The steering feels pretty sharp with just enough feedback, while the suspension deals with road imperfections well and is composed over undulating roads. Body lean is also well controlled in corners, belying the vehicle's height. Cupra feels to have got the spring and damper rates spot on, with ideal weight distribution giving the driver confidence in the car's capabilities. The sprint from 0-62mph takes just 4.8 seconds, with a smooth-shifting 7-speed DSG box working well. It all makes for a hugely enjoyable car to drive. The only thing that might make you think twice about the all-out performance of the 333ps version is the running costs, with official fuel economy figures suggesting 30.7-32.5mpg on the combined scale. After spirited stints of driving on one of the more sporty modes, this can drop to below 20mpg, although you have the option of selecting a more relaxed mode for better fuel economy. The sharp-looking alloys (Image: T&A) The cabin benefits from a revised infotainment system, with a 12.9-inch touchscreen at the centre of a designed dash. The software is now quicker-moving than before, while the graphics are also clearer. Plenty of soft-touch materials and design flourishes such as copper accents can be found throughout the cabin, giving a feeling of decent quality. CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard, plus a 425-watt, 12-speaker audio system co-developed with Sennheiser. The price of just over £48,000 means this is not a cheap car, but it ticks enough boxes to fully justify the price tag. Cupra Formentor VZ1 ENGINE: 2.0-litre TSI. 333ps PERFORMANCE: 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds and top speed of 155mph TRANSMISSION: 7-speed DSG TORQUE: 420Nm FUEL ECONOMY: 30.7-32.5 EMISSIONS: 198g/km PRICE: £48,035
