HABITAT is selling a garden chair that's perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun this summer. The furniture piece is just a fraction of the price of the B&Q's version. 1 Habitat Folding Wooden Garden Deck Chair is retailing for only £30 Credit: Argos The laid-back chair from Habitat is retailing at Argos for only £30 compared to B&Qs £109 price tag. The £80 difference is barely noticeable with the garden chair sporting a similar sleek design. The Habitat piece is made of wooden material that's weather resistant which makes it perfect for outdoor use. It can also be folded for storage and put away in a shed during the colder seasons. The foldable chair has three reclining positions with an easy mechanism to switch between adjustments. You can lay down and sunbathe or sit upright with a book in the sun. The grey and white striped fabric complements the beautiful wooden frame. The folding deck chair received positive reviews with the overwhelming majority of customers recommending the product. One person wrote: "We bought this one just under a month ago - well finished and excellent value at £30, happy so far. "Been using in the garden to enjoy the short glimpses of sun we've had this spring so far, hoping to take down to the beach soon as summer progresses, giving us fun and relaxation." Aldi's $4.99 Gardenline Plant Supports: Affordable Spring Gardening Must-Have! But shoppers will have to be quick as the Habitat model is put on clearance in Argos and could be sold out any minute.

Popular brand is selling dupe of IKEA's stylish garden furniture set – for nearly £1,000 cheaper
A POPULAR garden outlet is undercutting the Swedish behemoth, IKEA, by nearly a grand with their elegant dupe of some outside furniture. Their four-piece garden set looks almost identical to the Swedish behemoth's version, but rather than costing £1111, you can grab the whole set for just £240. 4 Whilst IKEA has a reputation as one of the most budget-friendly retailers for furniture, which doesn't break the bank, HABITAT is beating the big boys at their own game. Both sets include a two-person sofa, two chairs, and a circular white table. The set is made from metal and fabric and weighs a lighter weight of 36kg. The seats from both sets are adorned with four plush cushions and have a flexible fabric support for some added spring. The only visible difference is purely a matter of taste. In the Habitat Tallak 4 Seater Metal Garden Sofa set, the cream offering has black bars and a noire table, whereas the Ikea set is completely cream. Even for the beige lovers out there, an £870 discount might make the swap worth the save. IKEA's table is just 4cm wider than Habitat's, at 74cm to 70cm, but Habitat's table and chairs are taller at 200cm tall to IKEA's 170cm tall- perfect for those blessed with long legs. If you splurge an extra £60 at Habitat, bringing your total to £300, you can get £50 off with the code Garden at the checkout. 4 One buyer said that the sofas are the "most comfortable seating I've ever sat on- the cushions are so fluffy and the size is really generous, so you can properly lounge about. Another said: "Absolute bargain, looks well and feels sturdy at a cheap price. "I've had so many compliments already saying it looks really expensive when in reality it was so cheap for what it is. "Such a good price... I would highly recommend it!" They even added that although it is advised to pop the cushions away during the winter months, they leave the set out all year round as it is so solid. 5 ways to save money in your garden Garden design experts at Lighting Legends have revealed the ways you can lower gardening costs. 1. Install a water butt Water butts are a large container that sits in your garden and collects rainwater. This water can then be used to water plants, top up ponds or water features and wash the patio and other garden furniture. The natural outdoor water could help you save money on your water bills as you are less likely to use a hose during the summer months. 2. Use solar powered or LED lighting Solar powered lights get their energy from the sunlight in the day so they can illuminate your garden at night. They're easy to install and are a great choice for keeping electricity bills low. LED lights are another option that are long lasting and energy efficient. 3. Grow your own salad and vegetables Growing your own salad and vegetables will not only save you money but it can also feel really rewarding. Things like lettuce, radishes, and spinach are all fairly easy to grow. 4. Upcycle waste and rubbish Get creative and start upcycling items instead of throwing them away. Use sticks from ice lollies as plant tags or turn old watering cans and wheelbarrows into planters instead of buying new pots. Once you get creative the ways to upcycle are endless. 5. Start composting Start composting your kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and coffee grounds and combine them with garden waste such as leaves and grass clippings to create a nutrient rich compost. This could reduce your need to spend money on expensive fertilisers.
