M&S fans have been left stunned by the reductions and one user, Arron Harper, even claimed that it's the 'biggest sale' he's ever seen at M&S. Eager to alert others to the discounts, Arron took to social media and uploaded snaps of his finds, leaving many gobsmacked. Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 867,600 members, the savvy shopper gave users a close-up look at some of the best women's discounts, with all things from summer sandals and swimming costumes, to jeans and dresses on offer. Alongside his post, Arron wrote: 'The biggest sale I've ever seen at M&S!' He then advised those on a budget to 'run, don't walk to grab a bargain.'

I've found the perfect summer top from M&S, and I'm even more excited now I can finally shop there online again And that's not all, as there's loads of shoes that have been slashed too - you'll find trainers, sandals, and even the popular Hermes dupe slip-ons.

Why Everyone Is Loving M&S Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained: 'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about. 'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear. 'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price. 'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also. 'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30. 'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on. 'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.' There's also cargo trousers, jeans, cardigans and plenty more clothes you won't want to miss. To top things off, you'll even find slippers in the sale too, so if you can't afford to break the bank on Uggs, you'll need to get down to M&S, and fast. And if you thought that was it, think again, as there's even candles, vases and light-up signs that will add style to your home in an instant. There's even bedding in the sale too - with fitted sheets and duvet sets that have been slashed. But if you're looking to bag a bargain, you'll need to move fast, as these epic finds are sure to sell out quickly.

So if your purse is feeling tighter than ever before, but you don't want to scrimp on your skin and haircare routine, then you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. 4 4 Luckily for those strapped for cash, there's two Dr. Lipp products which are now only £1.99 at Home Bargains - yes, you heard that correctly. One savvy shopper was gobsmacked to see the cult buys in her local Home Bargains and eagerly raced to social media to alert others. Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 866,400 members, Charlotte Taylor shared a snap of her finds. Alongside this, she wrote: 'Dr. Lipp products in Home Bargains! £1.99 each.' Not only did Charlotte spot the Dr. Lipp All Ways, but she also found the Dr. Lipp Before n' After too. The Dr. Lipp All Ways, which normally retails at £25.99, is a make-up remover, cleanser, body wash and shampoo. It's been hailed by those at Dr. Lipp as the 'Swiss Army Knife of cleansers.' As well as this, according to the product description, it's the skincare equivalent of 'that cool kid at school who was really fun but also a shameless overachiever.' And not only is it 'fragrance-free, comforting and luscious," but it can be used on all skin types, for the hair and the face. Meanwhile, the Dr. Lipp Before n' After, which normally sets shoppers back £27.99, is an 'all-over moisturise' buy that can be used on the hair, face and body. It works as a hair mask and conditioner, as well as a lotion. According to those at Dr. Lipp, it is 'smoother than James Bond at an awards party' and is 'lightweight and versatile.' It's won 'more than 11 industry accolades for its remarkable results' and is 'gentle, fragrance-free and non-sticky.' Not only this, but it's also been hailed as 'universal and all-inclusive', as well as being a 'one-stop wonder' to condition both skin and hair. Facebook users were stunned to see the iconic buys at such a purse-friendly price and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'I need to close my eyes, otherwise I will buy several.' Meanwhile, in disbelief at the £26 saving, another asked: ' Dupes?' To this, Charlotte wrote back and confirmed: 'No they're real ones, I put the website price on.'

The carry-on bag and backpacks are perfect for packing your little one's clothes and holiday essentials. Meanwhile, the lunch bag will ensure their snacks don't get squished, while the travel pillow is great for getting some rest on long flights. And if you're worried they'll lose their valuables, the zip pouch is perfect for keeping items safe and secure. Parents are racing to B&M desperate to nab 'the cutest' kids' cabin cases - they're ideal for EasyJet & Jet2 passengers The Home Bargains set is available in three styles - so if your little one can't get enough of sharks, rainbows or camo print, you're sure to find something that's just right for them. It won't burn a hole in your wallet either, as it's priced at just £19.99, which we think is a real steal. Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." And it's clear that Facebook users were left beaming with the high-street find, as Catherine's post has quickly racked up 121 likes and 72 comments. One person said: 'I got one of them for my son and he loved it.' Another added: 'That looks good.' Meanwhile, a third tagged a friend and commented: 'If you see this, let me know.' Not only this, but one parent mentioned a loved one and beamed: 'I want these for the kids!'

Shoppers run to Matalan for £20 vanity case that doubles as the perfect holiday hand luggage & it's cabin size approved
MATALAN is selling a "cute" vanity case for just £20 - and it could double as the perfect hand luggage. Now that summer is finally upon us, and with temperatures set to ramp up again next week, many of us are likely making plans for a holiday. 2 2 But finding a bag that meets the strict size guidelines of airlines can be tricky. Thankfully, Matalan has the perfect product to put travellers at ease - and it's on sale. Whether it's a sunny getaway, hen do abroad or a work trip, the Hardshell Vanity will hold everything you need for a short time away. In classic cream and tan colours, the small case is built with a durable hardshell exterior which offers extra protection for your belongings while remaining lightweight for easy handling. It has wheels for easy transport, separate compartments for easy packing and measures 36.5 x 17 x 27cm. This makes it ideal for EasyJet customers, with their under-seat cabin bag's maximum dimensions being 45x36x20cm, including handles and wheels. The airline claims this size allows you to 'bring all the essentials for a short trip' - but Pia decided to see if this was true for her. And if it's a UK staycation you're heading away for, the vanity case also has a space expansion meaning you can enjoy up to 25% extra packing space. Posting on the BARGAIN LOVERS - Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More Facebook page, which boasts 843,000 members, one savvy shopper said: "Picked up this lovely travel vanity case from Matalan, £20 was £25 but there is 20% off. "It also comes with a strap, and a mirror and has lots of inside pockets and slots to slot your products into." Primark launches new range of cabin bags on wheels - they're approved by all budget airlines & there's matching carry-ons too Other bargain hunters are just as impressed as one gushed: "I've got one they are fab." "I need one", cried a second. A third echoed: "Need a trip to matalan now then." "How cute", chimed in a fourth. Meanwhile, someone else suggested: "For our holibobs?"

"Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." Unfortunately, the Matalan case is too big for Ryanair's underseat baggage dimensions (40x20x25cm). But Primark is selling an underseat bag which has racked up a legion of fans, and measures 40x20x25cm, when its wheels are removed, meaning it's fully compliant with the budget airline. The wheels are 'easy click', so they can be detached in seconds on the plane if you need. The hardshell suitcase also includes a handy bag for storing the wheels during the flight, and has a number of different zipped compartments to make packing easier. The bags also won't break the bank, costing just £25 each and saving you having to pay for any luggage on the flight.

But you'll need to move fast if you want to get your hands on these purse-friendly buys, as like everything in TK Maxx, they will be available while stocks last and are sure to sell out fast.
