Shoppers can pick up the bargain buys just as summer hits and temperatures soar across the UK.
We've rounded up some of the major retailers' offerings and the best products we spotted.
Bear in mind, these are just some of the best deals we've spotted and you might find them cheaper elsewhere.
You can use price comparison websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner to check out what big retailers are selling a particular item for.
It's worth using the Google Product/Shopping tab to quickly scan the internet to see how much a product is selling for too.
B&Q
B&Q has dropped prices on over 120 outdoor and garden products in its clearance sale, with prices starting from just 50p.
Shoppers can buy a five pack of slated plant labels for 50p down from an original price of £4 - around an 88% discount.
There is also a 40-piece irrigation kit which has been reduced to £10 from £28 - a 65% discount.
Meanwhile, a Burgon and Ball Eco Pot maker kit is now £1.50 instead of £13 - 88% off.
Shoppers should be able to order most of the clearance sale items for home delivery but may be charged. Click and collect through B&Q is usually free.
Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains
Homebase
Fellow DIY retailer has also cut prices on a number of its garden and outdoor items.
The retailer hasn't listed "was" and "now" prices on all the reduced products.
So make sure you cross-check how much other retailers are selling a particular item for if it doesn't have these two separate prices so you know you're actually getting a good deal.
Of the products with before and after sale prices listed is included 10 LED solar string lights for £5.59 instead of £6.99 - 20% off.
There's also a "whimsical" blue garden gnome reduced from £14.99 to £11.99 - a 20% discount.
Shoppers can buy wooden garden bordering for £4.99 per 100cm sheet down from £7.99 - 38% off.
It appears home delivery isn't available on the clearance items but click and collect is, which should be free.
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 and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. 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.
Dunelm
Dunelm has dropped prices on six of its outdoor and garden products, with up to 30% off.
We spotted a black modular chair scanning for £111.30 down from £159 - 30% off.
There is also a lotus flower plant pot on sale for £14 down from £20 - a 30% discount.
Shoppers can buy a steel garden coffee table for £20.30 instead of £29 as well - again a 30% discount.
Home delivery is only available on the black modular chair and costs £9.95.
All other products can be ordered via click and collect at no charge.
Argos
Argos has launched a giant summer sale on garden furniture and BBQs with up to 50% off.
The retailer has also dropped prices on 20 of its garden and DIY essentials in its clearance sale, with up to a third off and prices starting from £6.70.
Shoppers can purchase a Habitat artificial hydrangea cluster for £6.70 instead of £10 - 23% off.
There is also a Rattan garden mirror on sale for £8 down from £11 - 27% off.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
