Four tips to keep the cost of popular appliances down in the summertime
Scroll down to save £83 on a skincare set SUN SAVERS Four tips to keep the cost of popular appliances down in the summertime WARMER temperatures and lighter days mean energy bills typically dip over the summer months. But some popular seasonal appliances can be pricey to run if you're not careful. Advertisement Here's how to make sure costs stay in check at this time of year . . . HOT TUB: More people are buying inflatable hot tubs to enjoy in their back garden. But these luxury items can have a big cost, burning up to £700 in energy a year. If you have one, it's important to invest in good insulation. Advertisement Bringing down the water temperature slightly can also help keep a lid on your outlay. AIR CON: Soaring temperatures can make your home sticky and uncomfortable. Portable air-conditioning units offer relief but are expensive to run. These appliances are 20 times dearer to run than a typical freestanding fan, according to the Energy Saving Trust. Advertisement Evaporative air coolers use far less energy than air-con units if you want to invest in a gadget. Or try closing your curtains on hot sunny days to stop the sun creating a greenhouse effect. Expert's warning over common barbecue myths that pose 'dangerous health risk' as Brits' grilling blunders revealed You could also place a bowl of ice in front of a fan to help cool down a room. And open windows a crack at night to let in a cooling breeze. Advertisement BBQ: If you're a grilling enthusiast, and frequently firing up the barbecue you might want to invest in a gas or electric model. It's generally cheaper to run an electric barbecue than a gas model, says Currys, because the electric version uses less energy to warm up the grill and at full heat. PATIO HEATER: Summer evenings can get cool and you might think a patio heater is the solution. But these appliances are energy-hungry, adding extra pounds to your power bills. Advertisement Instead, load up on blankets and consider lighting a portable fire-pit on chillier evenings. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.

Bobbi Brown and Laneige slashed to under £5 in ‘holiday-ready' deal
Health and beauty retailer Boots has released yet another money-saving haul and this one is perfect for anyone planning a holiday this summer Shoppers preparing to jet off on holiday this summer will no doubt be on the hunt for the perfect products to pack in their suitcase. Traditionally, buying individual versions of mini products has proven costly, but Boots latest beauty box saves customers more than £80 on suitcase-ready beauty essentials. The health and beauty retailer's Get Holiday Ready Bag is filled with glow-enhancing favourites, hydrating heroes, and mood-boosting fragrances - all of this for a fraction of their individual costs. Valued at £124.50, the edit is priced at £32, which means each item averages out at £4.57 apiece. Whether you're jetting off to a tropical destination or planning the perfect staycation, this selection has all your summer beauty needs covered. Inside shoppers will find seven travel-friendly essentials, boasting cult classics and luxury minis to help you hydrate, shine, and spritz your way through the summer. Even better, it all comes in a stylish, reusable zip pouch – ideal for keeping items safe whether you're lounging by the pool or relaxing at home. It's the perfect size to store a book, sun lotion, jewellery and more, keeping them protected and together. The edit includes brands that will impress beauty enthusiasts, such as Milk, Laneige, Bobbi Brown and MAC. Fragrance fans are also catered for with Sol de Janeiro and Floral Street, reports Bristol Live. There's also a shimmering body oil from fan favourite Rituals, which hydrates skin while providing a stunning glow. In other news, LookFantastic is offering the Summer Heroes Edit for £45, which, considering it's valued at over £150, means a stunning saving of £105 for buyers. The exclusive bundle includes six beauty gems, including four full-sized items from high-end brands such as Sol de Janeiro and ESPA. Space NK also has an exciting haul, inspired by the viral TikTok trend, 'the everything shower'. The luxury edit of bath, body, and haircare costs £70 and is worth £165, boasting names like Sol de Janeiro, Living Proof and Alpha-H. The Boots set appears to be one of the most wallet-friendly on the market this month, save for their £29.99 Fresh Faced Favourites edit. And if past editions are anything to go by, it's likely to sell out rather quickly. However, it's important to note that because these boxes are pre-curated, there's no room for personalisation. This could mean that buyers may find they don't like one or two items, or that some of the contents aren't suitable for their skin type. Therefore, we always recommend checking out the full contents before hitting 'add to basket'. Here's what's inside the Boots Get Holiday Ready Beauty Bag:. Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Werk 6g. MAC Stack Elevated Mascara Mini 8ml. Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base 15ml. Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser 20ml. Floral Street Sunflower Pop Eau de Parfum 10ml. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist 30ml. Rituals The Ritual Of Karma Shimmering Body Oil 30ml.
