Gtech's 'very effective' cordless grass trimmer is 53% off and 'streets ahead' of rivals
With much of the UK basking in yet another heatwave, there's no better time to ensure our gardens are looking spick and span. Luckily, Gtech has just kicked off a summer sale offering its GT50 Cordless Grass Trimmer at more than half price.
By entering the discount code JV85 at checkout, the garden gadget can be reduced from £149.99 to £69.99 – an £80 saving. There's also a huge £300 discount on Gtech's CLM50 Cordless Lawnmower, which drops from £599.99 to £299.99 with the code JA57.
However, both deals are running for a limited time and will expire on September 30. The Gtech GT50 Cordless Grass Trimmer is said to trim and edge a lawn 'to perfection' thanks to its sharp plastic blades that ensure a neat cut and fresh edges.

Unlike corded garden tools, the Gtech GT50 can be used without troublesome cables, with its 18V lithium-ion battery providing up to 30 minutes of runtime per charge. The lightweight tool has been designed to make trimming easier, weighing only 1.85kg and crafted with an ergonomic handle that takes the stress off the shoulders, neck and back.
Gtech has also added a safety harness to the trimmer, so users can move comfortably and efficiently around their garden while enjoying total control and precision. This is made even easier with a swivel of the GT50's head, which can be switched from trimming mode to edging mode and adjusted to different angles at the push of a button.
What sets the GT50 apart from many rival models is its plastic, replaceable blades, which clip on quickly and easily. Shoppers will receive 20 blades with the device, with a pack of 50 costing £3.99 should more be required.
For gardeners requiring a tool to neaten their hedges, the Bosch 55cm Cordless Hedge Trimmer (£185) can cut branch thicknesses of up to 20mm, but may not be suitable for cutting grass. An alternative is the Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Cordless Whisper Grass Trimmer (£149.99), however, the battery and charger are not included with this tool and must be bought separately.
For those sticking with Gtech, the GT50 Cordless Grass Trimmer has achieved a 4.4-star rating after more than 3,500 reviews. Buyers have hailed it as 'easy to use' and 'very effective' at cutting longer grass.
One five-star review says: "Easy to use and control, very effective cutting and can deal with longer grass. Quick to get out into the garden and start using because little assembly is needed. Very well engineered, solid yet lightweight. An excellent product."
Another said: 'This product, along with all other Gtech products we have purchased, is excellent value for money. It is lightweight, strong and precise, streets ahead of all of its competitors.'
In their four-star review, this buyer offered a word of advice to other gardeners, saying: "Nice looking trimmer but the blades break easily when you touch something solid.'
While a third rave review said: 'Very pleased with the GT50, it is a big step up from the previous model, which served us well for many years. In particular, the power seems much greater, and we can get through tougher vegetation that we would not have considered tackling before.'

Money expert explains how to turn £25 a week into £1,300 'without lifting a finger'
We all know how important it is to have savings, but sometimes it can be tricky to know where to start - however Tynah Matembe, founder of Money Matix has shared her advice for those looking to make their money work harder Think saving's just for rich people or money nerds? Think again. Even chucking a tenner a week into a savings account can snowball into something serious. It's not about how much – it's about how often. Consistency is king. Here's the deal: banks love regular savers, and there are easy ways to save without even knowing. One of the best ways is to simply set up a standing order, and suddenly you're eligible for the top interest rates. We're talking juicy deals that beat letting your cash sit dead in your current account. And don't roll your eyes at 'interest' – that's free money just for having a bit of discipline. It comes after thousands of Brits to get shock letter from HMRC after drastic new tax rule comes into force. While your mate's blowing £6 a day on fancy coffee, you're quietly building a pot that could pay for a holiday, a house deposit, or bail you out in a crisis. However you may be still sceptical, so imagine if you save just £25 a week, that's £1,300 a year – without lifting a finger after you set it up. Add interest? Boom – even more. And if rates go up? You win again. Regular saving isn't boring – it's powerful and it's how smart people get ahead. So, skip one takeaway a week, set up that direct debit, and start building your financial safety net. Because when life throws you a curveball – or a golden opportunity – you'll be glad you've got cash in the tank. There is also an easy rule to follow to make your oney work harder. If you want your money to be in a good place, it's important not to blow it all at once on just day-to-day stuff. Following the 70:10:10:10 rule can help. At MoneyMatiX, we swear by it. Spend no more than 70% of your cash, stash away at least 10% for savings, pump another 10% into investments to grow your wealth, and don't forget to have fun or give back with the last 10%. Balance is everything - follow this and watch your money game go from zero to hero. Take your morning Starbucks, for example. Ditching that daily Tall Latte on your way to work could save you a staggering £851 a year. That's a holiday, your energy bill paid, or the breathing room and emergency fund sorted. The bottom line? You don't need to be wealthy to invest wisely - you just need to start today. And finally, remember volatility is normal. If your pension pot has dipped recently because of Trump's tariffs war uncertainly with the Government's plan, don't panic. Markets go through ups and downs – but investing and certainly investing in a pension is a long-term game, and history shows they do recover.

Holiday expert reveals exact time to book your tickets for August bank holiday flights & how you can save hundreds
HOLIDAY experts have revealed the exact time and date Brits should book their tickets ahead of the August bank holiday to save hundreds of pounds. It's not too late to book last-minute flight tickets for holiday trips over the August bank holiday weekend. Brits can still find ways to get out of the country that won't blow the budget for the weekend of August 25. This includes trips to classic European escapes and hotspots like Disneyland Paris. Ticket experts have analysed pricing data and industry travel trends. CEO of AttractionTickets, Oliver Brendon, explained: 'It's easy to assume the early bird always gets the deal. "In reality, travel companies adjust fares repeatedly based on demand, and we see opportunities appear even in the final days before departure. "There's still time to save on last-minute August bank holiday travel if you know when to book.' Brendon reveals the trick to finding value no matter how late the purchase is made. Through review of historic pricing, as well as industry reports, Sundays have been found to regularly deliver the lowest average booking prices. This is because airlines adjust seat availability and prices over the weekend. Therefore, holidaymakers who plan to book on Sundays can more often find a better deal and pay significantly less than those who book on other days. 3 tips to help you get the cheapest flights when booking holidays Furthermore, Fridays have been found to be time to avoid as it is the time when prices tend to spike due to increasing demand. A clear morning advantage has also been found through analyses. Around 6am is when the fresh fares tend to show up, so it is good to get in early before search traffic ramps up into the day. So those looking to book a getaway from the bank holiday this month should set their alarms for Sunday morning. Oliver adds 6am on Sunday, August 17 "both sit within the sweet spot before the long weekend and will give you a chance at potentially unlocking better pricing.' This timing tip comes from expert insights and data-driven research from travel and ticketing platforms. It also focused on last-minute booking trends by travellers in the UK. The advise follows suggestions from CEO of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, who said flights could also be booked cheaper in the first two months of the year. Winter months are believed to be the best time of the year to find cheap air fares, as well as just before the peak of school holidays. Another study looked in to the best time to book flights for certain destinations. For Faro in Portugal, the cheapest flights for the summer holidays were found to be just five weeks before travelling. And for long-haul flights like to New York, the best time was found to be June to book for an August vacation. Other tips for saving money on flights Here are some of the best ways you can save money on flights Mistake Fares A mistake fare is essentially an error that occurs when airlines or travel agents accidentally list the wrong price for a flight. It might happen when airline staff accidentally leave out a zero — or two — while listing the cost of a ticket online. While the odds of airlines making these mistakes are fairly low, such incidents do occur from time to time — and travellers can save hundreds of pounds by just keeping an eye out. However, they will have to be quick as airlines will remove these prices as soon as they spot the mistake. Being flexible Being fussy about where you go on holiday can reduce your options for saving money. Going on Google Flights and clicking on the map instead of searching for a specific destination will show you the cheapest rates to a number of cities. That way you can make sure you head to the most affordable destination, or at least choose somewhere with cheap flights. Avoid pricey luggage additions Most airlines now charge extra for passengers to check luggage in during their flights and it's much more affordable to fly with just carry-on. So practice packing before you fly and make sure you can squash everything into a case or bag that will fit in the airline's hand luggage rules — it could save you a fair amount.

Brits are bracing for tax hikes in autumn Budget after slowdown in economic growth
Rachel Reeves said the economy 'has felt stuck for too long' and there is 'more to do' for working people STICKY SITUATION Brits are bracing for tax hikes in autumn Budget after slowdown in economic growth BRITS are bracing for tax hikes in the autumn after economic growth slowed in the spring, experts warned. Rachel Reeves yesterday hailed the 0.3 per cent GDP increase from April to June after exceeding gloomy expectations. 2 Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride accused Rachel Reeves of 'economic vandalism' Credit: Alamy She said: 'Today's economic figures are positive with a strong start to the year and continued growth in the second quarter.' But she added the economy 'has felt stuck for too long' and there is 'more to do' for working people. Experts said it is not enough to plug a growing black hole in the public finances that could be as big as £50billion. Growth was driven by the Chancellor pouring billions into the public sector, while the private sector reeled from National Insurance increases. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research said Ms Reeves' 'wafer thin' £9.9billion headroom last year has been wiped out, leaving a £41.2billion deficit. It warned she must find £51billion a year in extra taxes or cuts by 2029. The think tank's Fergus Jimenez-England said: 'Growth was higher than forecast. 'Despite this, we expect growth to remain subdued in the third quarter as uncertainty over fiscal policy and international trade continues to weigh on economic activity. 'The Chancellor must build a substantial fiscal buffer in the autumn Budget to avoid uncertainty plaguing growth.' It sparked fears of an inheritance tax raid, a fresh rise in capital gains tax rate and further 'stealth' and 'sin' taxes. Understanding GDP and Its Impact on the Economy Tory Chancellor Mel Stride said: 'With leaders saying all indicators are flashing red — and key economists warning Rachel Reeves has created a £50billion black hole in public finances — the Chancellor's economic vandalism is clear.' Deutsche Bank's Sanjay Raja said government spending pushed up growth, as household spending 'nearly stalled'.
