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.

Arsenal deal for Viktor Gyokeres at risk as Sporting issue threat

Arsenal's deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres could be at risk as Sporting CP have threatened to increase the striker's asking price. Earlier this week, Sporting's president, Frederico Varandas, hit out at Gyokeres' agent over suggestions that a transfer fee had already been agreed ahead of the summer transfer window. Gyokeres has a €100 million (£85.1m) release clause in his contract but Sporting have been willing to sell the Sweden international for lower than that amount. Varandas was angered by claims that Sporting have agreed to sell Gyokeres for €60m (£51m) plus a further €10m (£8.5m) in add-ons and warned the striker's representative, Hasan Cetinkaya, that he is 'making the situation worse'. During his negotiations to bring Gyokeres to Sporting in a £20m deal from Coventry City two years ago, Cetinkaya secured an exclusive sales mandate which means that the Portuguese champions will have to pay the agent 10 per cent of the value of any rejected offer above €60m (£51m). Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. It is understood that if Cetinkaya decides to activate that mandate this summer, Sporting will respond by demanding that Gyokeres' €100m (£85.1m) release clause is paid in full. Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, met with his counterpart at Sporting, Bernardo Palmeiro, in Menorca to discuss a deal for Gyokeres this week. Arsenal's initial proposal worth an €55m (£46.8m) plus a further €10m (£8.5m) in add-ons was rejected but an improved offer is expected. Sporting are believed to be holding out for a deal worth closer to €80m (£68.1m) including add-ons. More Trending Reports in Portugal on Thursday claimed that there is a 'growing optimism' in Gyokeres' camp that a deal can be agreed between Arsenal and Sporting. Manchester United also remain in the race to sign Gyokeres and are hoping his strong relationship with Ruben Amorim can overcome the striker's reservations about the lack of European football at Old Trafford next season. United have indicated to Sporting that they are willing to pay €60m (£51.1m) up front, plus a further €10m (£8.5m) in performance-related bonuses. Gyokeres, who finished the season with 54 goals in 52 games and helped Sporting win the domestic double in Portugal, issued a cryptic message on Instagram on Thursday which read: 'There is a lot of talks at the moment, most of it is false. I will speak when the time is right.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Chocolate lovers rush to Aldi as supermarket launches £3.99 dupe of viral ‘Dubai chocolate'

Shoppers are scrambling to grab Aldi's luxury-lookalike chocolate before it vanishes CHOCCY TIME Chocolate lovers rush to Aldi as supermarket launches £3.99 dupe of viral 'Dubai chocolate' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHOCOLATE fans are dashing to Aldi as the budget supermarket unveils a £3.99 version of the viral 'Dubai-style' chocolate bar. Now available in Aldi stores across the UK, the 100g bar promises a rich and indulgent experience—without the luxury price tag. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The chocolate is part of Aldi's Specialbuys range, meaning once it's sold out, it may not return Credit: Aldi The treat features creamy pistachio layers and crunchy kadayif pastry, all wrapped in silky milk chocolate. Inspired by a viral hit that exploded on social media, the chocolate has already caused a stir online. AldiUK teased the launch on Facebook, writing: 'THIS IS NOT A DRILL. The Dubai Style Chocolate Bar lands in store tomorrow! Will you be picking one up.' Fans flooded the comments with excitement. One wrote: 'More temptation.' Another added: 'You knocked it out of the park with this. Absolutely amazing.' A third asked: 'Hey dear Aldi, are these a special or permanent fixture? Xx' The chocolate is part of Aldi's Specialbuys range, meaning once it's sold out, it may not return. With no buying limit, shoppers are expected to stock up quickly. This isn't the first time retailers have tried to cash in on the Dubai chocolate craze. Lidl's JD Gross version flew off shelves, and Waitrose offers a similar pistachio white chocolate bar for £2.75. Morrisons stocks its own version—Bolci Dubai Chocolate—for £5. The trend shows no signs of slowing down, as chocolate lovers continue to seek out these premium-style treats at lower prices. If you're keen to try one, it's worth getting to your local Aldi early to avoid disappointment. As word spreads, demand is expected to spike. To get the best deal, savvy shoppers are encouraged to compare prices using online tools like PriceSpy, Google Shopping, or Idealo. These platforms let you check price histories and spot deals across retailers. SAVE MONEY AT ALDI Grabbing hot Specialbuys like this chocolate bar is just one way to save at Aldi. The discount chain frequently tops Which? rankings for the cheapest supermarket, offering consistent value for everyday essentials. In April, a typical basket of 79 items cost an average of £135.95 at Aldi—cheaper than rivals including Lidl and Tesco. Bargain hunters should also keep an eye out for Aldi's red sticker items, usually marked down in the morning. These offer major discounts on products close to their sell-by date or with minor packaging damage. Aldi's budget-friendly alcohol selection is another way to save, with own-brand options often coming in much cheaper than big-name labels. Don't forget about Too Good To Go 'Surprise Bags', available in selected stores. These offer a low-cost mix of near-date groceries that would otherwise go to waste. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
