The B&M Blaupunkt two-in-one draught beer dispenser and cooler is a must-have for anyone planning to host this summer
2
It's easily disassembled so you can take it wherever you go
It comes as B&M slashes the price of its Blaupunkt two-in-one draught beer dispenser and cooler from £99 to just £59.
It makes it one of the cheapest on the market - especially compared to some luxury brands which can go for close to £1000.
Better yet, B&M boasts that 'thanks to its easy way of disassembly, you can even take it on holiday for you to enjoy a refreshing draught beer wherever you go.'
The multi-use appliance can chill beer to as low as 0 degrees celsius and has a handy temperature monitor which you can read.
It can also pack five litre carbonated kegs of draught beer, keeping it cool and fresh for up to 30 days.
It's easy to use and easy to clean - and even comes with a car adaptor for travel.
Fancy home dispensers by Lindr are selling for £912 on the National Mobile Agency's website.
Meanwhile, Coleman portable drinks coolers are £129.58 on Nisbets.co.uk.
Instead, with this B&M product you get two-in-one - saving you potentially hundreds, or thousands, of pounds.
If you're wanting to get your hands on one, you may need to be quick, as they're likely to sell out fast.
B&M shopper rushes to buy energy-saving gadget scanning for £1 instead of £35
You can only buy it in store, so its worth ringing up or checking online if it is available near you before you make the visit.
Or you can ask a shop assistant when you get there.
To find your nearest B&M, use the Store Locator tool on the website.
However always remember to compare prices before you buy.
On Robert Dyas you can currently buy a similar item, listed as the Ice Master Universal Beer Pump with a Built-In Cooling System, for £64.93.
This isn't as cheap as B&M but could be your next option if stocks run out.
Boots also sells a draught Wizard Dispenser for £56 - but it doesn't come with the drinks cooling function.
It goes to show how its important to weigh up these factors up before you buy so you know you're definitely getting the best deal.
MORE SUMMER ESSENTIALS
B&M has brought out plenty of summer bargains lately which are not to be missed.
Last month, shoppers across the UK went mad for the Big Chill Cocktail Slushie Maker priced at just £20.
Garden furniture and decor steals have also been making the rounds on Facebook, with a parasol base gathering scores of likes.
One eagle-eyed shopper posted: 'Run, don't walk! B&M scanning at a fiver. Was £50 originally, with a reduced to £25 ticket on it. Absolute bargain!'
The Range is also being championed for its current prices on indoor and outdoor plants, with beautiful Salix Flamingo trees going for £15 each.
You can also get your hands on two small trees for £20, and you can buy a mini plant for £3.50 or three for £10.
If they're not to your taste, Lidl has just launched its indoor and outdoor plants Lidl Plus range, with pots starting at just £1.99.
And better yet, Aldi released a huge garden range yesterday with 38 items, including lanterns, water features, gardening gadgets and BBQ equipment.

How to save money on summer essentials
SUNNIER days and warmer weather will leave many of us wanting to kit out gardens and outdoor areas.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a great deal on summer essentials…
It pays to know how to bag big savings on the likes of hot tubs paddling pools, egg chairs and outside bars.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire ranges – often this ties into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends.
Sign up to the mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items such as beach gear and paddling pools.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
Always check if you can get cashback before paying. It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.

Dunelm's plug-in wall lights 'look way more expensive' and 'add a premium feel'
Shoppers have praised how easy the lights are to install Dunelm customers have been singing the praises of a plug-in wall light that doesn't need an electrician to install. The retailer's range of lamps that simply need a plug socket nearby to get up and running are proving extremely popular, with buyers praising both the look and ease of getting them set up. One of the them with an extremely high rating is the Churchgate Harby Plug In Wall Light that's priced at £40. The stylish light is designed with a white ceramic glazed head, and finished in an antique gold metal and complete with a white twisted cable. For those concerned about having a cable on show, after all that's traditionally avoided, this particular one is designed in such a way that it's made to look stylish and natural, not like an ugly wire drooping down. It is worth noting that a bulb is not included, so that will add a bit extra on top. Dunelm has lots to choose from, including the Lois Globe LED Dimmable Bulb (£8), while fancier options include the Status Spiral Filament Bumpy Bulb (£22). Amazon also stocks the £55.89 KEESFU Plug in Wall Lights. These particular lights have an industrial design and come in a pair, so they cost a more affordable £28 each. The Amazon lights also have an adjustable height option which is a nice added feature. B&Q also has options like the Harbour Studio Vara Plug-in LED Wall light priced at £37. This features an antique brass finish that B&Q says "adds a touch of vintage charm to your space". The Dunelm Churchgate light has averaged 4.7 out of 5 from more than 150 reviews to date. One said: "Beautiful Lights, look way more expensive. Thoroughly recommend these." Another continued: "Looks lovely, good quality and easy to install. Would recommend." A third went on: "Amazing quality and really adds a premium feel to the bedside. Added these to a room refresh for a beachy look and feel and the quality is great. We've had lovely comments already and love the look." Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there were a couple of drawbacks highlighted. One such issue mentioned: "Lovely lamps, look more expensive than they are. My one gripe is the switch is a horrible cheap looking plastic one so you have to sort of hide it behind the lamp." Another noted that the cable was "very kinked".

See if someone is spying on your exact location & watching every move with little-known phone setting
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MILLIONS of iPhones have a must-know feature that can expose and block anyone spying on your location. It's built into your iPhone as standard but it's tucked away in the Settings app – so it's easy to miss. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 You can find Safety Check in your Privacy & Security settings on iPhone Credit: The Sun / Apple You can use it to review who your location is being shared with, including specific people or apps. The feature is called Safety Check and it's on any iPhone running iOS 16 software or later. You can check if you've got that by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Then you can dive into Safety Check to see if you're being snooped on. HOW DOES LOCATION SPYING WORK? Your location can be accessed in two main ways on an iPhone. The first is with location sharing through Find My. That's when your exact location is being shared with another person in real-time – viewable as a dot on a map. There are two ways this might be happening without your knowledge. One is that you set it up for someone years ago – maybe an ex partner – and simply forgot to switch it off. The other is that someone with access to your iPhone set it up without your knowledge. The second way your location can be shared on an iPhone is with an app. iPhone 16e review – I've secretly tested Apple's cheapest mobile and I love the new button but that's not the best bit Loads of apps will be making good use of your location. Think Uber for taxis, Google Maps for driving, or WhatsApp for sharing your location on the way to an event. But some apps might use your location for nefarious means. If you've ever downloaded a dodgy app by accident, it could be a ploy by crooks to track you. So if you've installed an obscure calculator app that never seemed to work properly, always seems to "crash", and has constant access to your location, that's a red flag. 4 Safety Check will help you find out where your location is being shared Credit: The Sun / Apple On top of that, someone else with access to your phone might have installed a location-spying app. So if there's an app that you don't recognise with access to your location, that's also a very worrying sign. Similarly, you'll also want to make sure that your app accounts are locked down. If someone else has access to an app that can track your location, they might also be able to find out where you are. WHAT CAN SAFETY CHECK LIMIT? You can switch off access to the following... Bluetooth Calendars Camera Contacts Files and Folders Health Local Network Location Services Media and Apple Music Microphone Motion & Fitness Photos Reminders Research Speech Recognition Picture Credit: Apple / The Sun HOW TO USE SAFETY CHECK Safety Check is a way to quickly check up on all of your location sharing, and then shut it off if you like. Just go into Settings > Privacy & Security > Safety Check. You'll be guided through a process that shows you all of the ways that you're sharing your location (and other important info, like photos) with people. And you'll be given the option to deny access – to both people and apps. 4 Emergency Reset is a catch-all option to shut off all sharing Credit: The Sun / Apple There's also a more extreme Emergency Reset option that immediately stops sharing all info. And if you're trying to do all of this quietly, there's a Quick Exit button in the corner. That immediately saves your progress and closes the Settings app. Then you can pick it up again later when you're able to.

'We've made so many memories in our dream Countesswells townhouse'
Who: Jenny Sneddon, 41, an accountant, her wife Michelle, 42, an engineer and their two-year-old daughter Ruby. What: An immaculate four-bedroom semi-detached townhouse. Where: Countesswells, only a few miles from the city centre. 'Before moving here, we were in a traditional double upper flat in Rosemount. We loved the property but got the urge to move during the Covid lockdowns in 2020. At the time, we craved having our own outdoor space and more room to both work from home more comfortably. Also, we were thinking about starting a family and wanted a property with ground floor access and dedicated parking at the front door. So this house ticked all of those boxes and more. Jenny initially spotted the house on a Facebook advert – it was the ground floor herringbone flooring which caught her eye. We viewed the house in October 2020 on a whim, and made an offer within the week. It was probably the most impulsive purchase ever. At that point we hadn't made any moves to sell our current house but within a fortnight we had marketed and accepted an offer on it so it was obviously meant to be. When we first viewed the house, we were really impressed with the size. It was much more spacious than we expected of a new build, with higher ceilings and open hallways creating a feeling of space. The rooms are all very generously proportioned and the added bonus of built-in storage in each bedroom is great to keep clutter out of sight. There's also an abundance of natural light throughout the day which adds to the feeling of space and openness. The house was already finished to a great spec when we bought it. For example, the bathrooms are very luxurious, particularly the master ensuite with the twin basins and freestanding bath. We loved the open-plan kitchen/dining /living area with the pocket doors to close off the kitchen as needed. As it was the showhome, it had a lot of added extras such as full height tiling and full width mirrors in all bathrooms, chrome socket faceplates, LED skirting lights to the stairs and a landscaped garden. The location of the house was also part of the appeal as we have the Countesswells woods on our doorstep and have uninterrupted views across the countryside from the front windows. And on a clear day you can see Clachnaben. So we moved into the property in December 2020. Inside, the house is a relatively newly built semi-detached townhouse with four double bedrooms, two public rooms and four bathrooms including two ensuites. We initially did very little when we moved in. It really was ready to move into which was handy since we got the keys a week before Christmas! Over time we have made changes to a few rooms to make it more to our taste, such as adding wooden panelling and painting the upstairs 'snug' in a darker colour. We have redecorated the master bedroom, snug and spare bedroom which previously had a Spider-Man mural on the wall. The most work we have done was to the snug where we added panelling and changed the radiator to match the dark walls. We have also installed flooring and shelving in the attic with a Ramsay ladder to create additional storage space. In terms of interiors, we liked that the house was already decorated in quite a modern style which was very different to our previous house. It opened our minds a bit to different styles and has given us ideas which we'll take with us to our next home. We painted the master bedroom and 'snug' in Farrow and Ball 'Inchyra Blue'. The paint colour was actually inspired by the colour palette of our wedding venue, The Byre at Inchyra, so it felt only fitting to use it in the house. In the downstairs w/c, we used statement wallpaper from Emma J Shipley which works so well in the space. A lot of our furniture came from our old house, but we bought new furniture for the living room from Annie Mo's and the sofas from Loaf. Luckily for us, moving into this house was so easy. It truly was ready to move into with the house fully decorated, and flooring and blinds already in place. Reflecting on our time here, we've loved that the house is so big, there is no shortage of space and natural light throughout the day. The bathrooms in particular are very generous in size and finished to a high quality, creating a sense of luxury. We will especially miss this when we move to our next home. This has been a very happy home for us, with lots of special memories made here. Our daughter Ruby was born whilst we've lived here. So it's where we've watched her grow into the spirited toddler she is now.' 1 Gairnhill, Aberdeen, is on the market for offers over £435,000.
