Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on. Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.

The Range selling dupe of posh £559 pizza oven perfect for garden dinners & it's cheaper than Lidl's version
These ovens are a budget equivalent of the classic Ooni pizza ovens DOUGH DEAL The Range selling dupe of posh £559 pizza oven perfect for garden dinners & it's cheaper than Lidl's version Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR retailer is selling a budget version of a fancy outdoor pizza over that's perfect for summer garden dinners. The Range is offering the mini-ovens for a much better price than many of its competitors. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 It works with either charcoal or gas barbecues. Credit: The Range 3 It is a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent product at Lidl (pictured) Credit: Lidl As the summer months arrive, many Brits will want to enjoy a barbecue or drink outdoors to wile away the warmer weekends. But with home pizza ovens becoming increasingly popular, shops are looking to stock their own versions at increasingly competitive prices. Brands like Ooni are well known for selling solid pizza ovens - but their products can cost into several hundreds of pounds. What The Range is selling offers consumers a budget option to enjoy home baked pizza this summer. The VonHaus ovens available at The Range are selling for just £49.99. This makes them a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent pizza oven at Lidl, which is listed at £79.99. The Range's website says: "Give your gas or charcoal BBQ a new lease of life with the VonHaus barbecue pizza oven, the easy way to enjoy artisan style pizzas." To make things even easier, the ovens come fully assembled - so pizza lovers can get cooking in no time. It also has two handles and a temperature gauge. But unlike other self-standing pizza ovens, this product is designed to be placed on your barbecue. 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. It works with either charcoal or gas barbecues. "Perfect for weeknight family meals and garden parties alike, the insulated stainless steel construction heats up quickly and evenly every time, so you can feed hungry mouths in no time," the website adds. "Get your guests creating their own for a fun dining experience that means less time prepping and more time mingling! "Plus, the ceramic pizza stone is super easy to wipe down once done. That's hosting made easy." These ovens are a budget equivalent of the classic Ooni pizza ovens, which remain a popular favourite. Ooni pizza ovens start from around £300 and can support various different fuels. The company describes its core purpose as being "because everyone deserves great pizza". "It's a simple idea, but a noble cause that's behind everything we do at Ooni. "We're working our wee socks off and won't rest until there's an Ooni pizza oven in the backyard of every man, woman and backyard-owning child everywhere."
