This clever gadget is designed to let in the summer breeze while keeping flies, midges, and other pesky insects firmly outside where they belong.
It's ideal for households that like to keep doors open on warmer days without the unwanted guests.
The screen measures approximately 100cm by 220cm and is easy to install with no tools required.
It features a magnetic closure that snaps shut behind you and a lace trim that adds a stylish touch to an otherwise practical product.
The door screen is proving to be a summer essential for shoppers looking to keep their homes comfortable and bug-free without splashing out.
Its low price and ease of use have made it a popular pick with bargain hunters up and down the country.
Meanwhile, shoppers over at Aldi are going wild for a similar gadget found in the store's popular middle aisle.
The Zero In Magnetic Door Curtain has been spotted for just £5, prompting a rush to stores as word spreads.
One customer shared their find on the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook page, writing: 'Found this today in the middle isle (sic)!
"Was going to get one via Amazon for 12 pounds but saw this for five!
"Now I can have my door wide open without worrying about flies lol.'
The post attracted dozens of likes and comments, with many shoppers saying they were heading to their local Aldi to grab one.
One commented: 'Oh wow I'm going to get one.'
Another added: 'Got mine yesterday.'
Aldi's version works in the same way, using magnets to automatically close the curtain behind you while allowing air to pass through freely.
It's perfect for back doors, conservatories, or anywhere that needs ventilation without inviting insects in.
It's worth noting that the Zero In version from Aldi is only available in-store, as the retailer does not offer online delivery for its Specialbuys range.
But there are similar products at other retailers if you can't find one locally.
B&Q is selling a comparable insect screen for £6.83, while Amazon lists one for around £7.20, though delivery charges may apply.
Dunelm also has a similar option for £5 with the added benefit of free click-and-collect.
As the warmer months approach, both the Home Bargains and Aldi versions offer a simple and affordable way to enjoy the fresh air without the frustration of flying pests.
Whether you're in need of one for your kitchen door or a patio entrance, these magnetic screens are an easy fix.
And with the price of similar products much higher elsewhere, it might be wise to snap one up quickly while stocks last.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain...
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
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 vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
