Women's Euros outpace Men's in e-tail sales
Even before the historic England team made it to the finals to win the Women's Euros for a second successive time last month, the event was already driving stronger online retail than the Men's tournament the previous year, according to new data from Visualsoft. The latest tournament is also expected to have injected £801 million into the UK economy, says VoucherCodes. Sectors across Sports & Outdoors, Fashion & Footwear, and Children's all saw higher revenues, more orders, and increased average order value (AOV) during the fortnight leading up to the final. Comparing the two weeks before each final (1–14 July 2024, Men's vs 14–27 July 2025, Women's) data reveals that spending in support of the Lionesses outpaced that seen during the men's campaign, which also saw England reach the final. Children's retail saw the biggest uplift, with revenue up 54%, orders up 15%, and AOV jumping 34% year on year. Fashion & Footwear revenue climbed 26%, with orders up 19% suggesting fans were snapping up football shirts, trainers and outfits ahead of big match days. Sports & Outdoors also performed strongly, with a 14% revenue increase and a 9% rise in orders, as shoppers stocked up on outdoor gear and summer sports items. Jen Pollard, data analyst at Visualsoft, said: 'It's been incredible to see the Lionesses inspire not just the nation but also noticeable shifts in retail behaviour. 'It's clear the enthusiasm is being shared across the whole family. Big matches are becoming more than just sporting events, they're now key cultural moments that drive meaningful online engagement and spending.' Visualsoft's data also revealed clear peaks around key matches. Last month, Sports & Outdoors revenue surged by 30% the day before the semi-final, while Children's revenue jumped by 45% two days before. Fashion & Footwear consistently peaked one-to-two days before matches, with a 14% uplift just ahead of the quarter final. Similar behaviour was seen during the 2024 Men's Euros, but the spending spikes were consistently lower, underlining the growing commercial power of the women's game. With both England teams reaching their respective finals and fan interest surging, the data highlights 'how major sporting moments are increasingly intertwined with retail trends and how the women's game is becoming just as commercially powerful as the men's'.

I eat takeaway every night but never pay – I make poor choices when it comes to my food, but there's no way I'm cooking
She doesn't snack during the day, which means she can have a greasy takeaway for dinner guilt free WINNER WINNER I eat takeaway every night but never pay – I make poor choices when it comes to my food, but there's no way I'm cooking A WOMAN who eats takeaway every night has defended her unique food plan, but admitted she makes "poor choices" when it comes to her dinner. Saffron regularly shares videos of herself tucking into a pizza or greasy meal of an evening, and has found herself criticised for how frequently she relies on takeout food. 3 Saffron has a takeaway for dinner every night, but doesn't pay Credit: Tiktok/saffronmariexx 3 Instead she gets her devoted 'pay pigs' to pick up the cost of the meals Credit: Tiktok/saffronmariexx However, in a new TikTok, she explained that she saves herself during the day so that she can chow down guilt free at dinner time. "Eating really late means there's hardly any options available, especially where I live," she said. And given that she relies on "pay pigs" to buy her meals for her, she always chooses to collect them from the food outlets. "There aren't many places you can really collect from," Saffron added. "So yes, we've got another Domino's." But she admitted that if she had to use her own money, she wouldn't choose the same food. "Today with my own money I have had one meal, which was a green vegan juice, and an acai bowl - a mini one as well," she continued. "I don't snack, so it's not like I'm eating these big meals and then snacking all day, so I'm not making excuses for it." So while her "meal choices are poor", when she buys her food herself, they "aren't that bad". "I do have one other thing to say as well about all of this," she concluded. I was size 22 eating FIVE takeaways a week - now I'm told I look like Gemma Owen after 8st weight loss without jabs "A lot of the people judging me in the comment section, I'm pretty sure that you guys do other things that are worse than eating!" As predicted, the comments was full of people criticising Saffron for her love of takeaways. "Domino's is processed crap, what's proud to be about it?" one wrote. "Grow up!" "That's pure toxic processed garbage that will end in disease/cancer," another said. "I feel bad for anyone who is naive like this." How to save money on pizza TAKEAWAY pizzas taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on pizza: Cashback websites - TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your pizza through them. They're paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you'll get cashback on orders placed through them. Discount codes - Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order. Make you own topping - One savvy customer noticed that Domino's charges up to 70p MORE for pizzas on its menu compared to ordering the same one through the "create your own" option. It's worth trying out to see if it makes a difference before you place your next order. Buy it from the shops - It might not taste exactly the same but you'll save the most money by picking up your favourite pizza from your local supermarket. Some Asda stores sell freshly made ones from the pizza counter where prices start at £2. "There's about 4000 calories in that, and 700 calories in an acai bowl, so you gained about a pound today - wake up!" a third sighed. However, others defended Saffron, with one asking: "Why so many hate comments? "She's gorgeous and seems so sweet and lovely. "Everyone lives their life differently and does things their own way. "Keep doing you and ignore the negativity!" "Why are people so pressed in these comments?" another questioned. "She's not making you eat it!" "I agree with you 100%, food with my own money is just diabolical," a third laughed. "However food being paid for by others, I'm straight on Ubereats! "Don't listen to jealous people in the comments who would probably do worse things than eating." "'Random men pay for my food' well what other use do they have?" someone else joked. "Living the dream here! And I will never stop loving your honest videos!" "As someone who's pregnant and hates any food at home right now, if anyone wants to pay for me to have daily takeaways, I'm totally okay with that," another laughed. While someone else asked: "Would you ever be worried about the random guys showing up when you go to collect the food?" "I'm really not because the chances of anything happening by a complete stranger is a real thing unfortunately," Saffron replied. "And most of these guys are from areas hours and hours away from me!"

Credit: The Range 3 It is a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent product at Lidl (pictured) Credit: Lidl As the summer months arrive, many Brits will want to enjoy a barbecue or drink outdoors to wile away the warmer weekends.

What The Range is selling offers consumers a budget option to enjoy home baked pizza this summer. The VonHaus ovens available at The Range are selling for just £49.99. This makes them a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent pizza oven at Lidl, which is listed at £79.99.

To make things even easier, the ovens come fully assembled - so pizza lovers can get cooking in no time. It also has two handles and a temperature gauge.

"Get your guests creating their own for a fun dining experience that means less time prepping and more time mingling! "Plus, the ceramic pizza stone is super easy to wipe down once done. That's hosting made easy." These ovens are a budget equivalent of the classic Ooni pizza ovens, which remain a popular favourite. Ooni pizza ovens start from around £300 and can support various different fuels. The company describes its core purpose as being "because everyone deserves great pizza". "It's a simple idea, but a noble cause that's behind everything we do at Ooni. "We're working our wee socks off and won't rest until there's an Ooni pizza oven in the backyard of every man, woman and backyard-owning child everywhere."

Single and struggling to save? How you can bank £2,400 a year - if you give up dating!
Single people could be spending up to £2,400 a year on dating, according to research from VoucherCodes. More than two in five spend as much as £100 on every date, the survey found. This means individuals who go on two dates a month are paying £2,400 a year, the equivalent of a second-hand car or a two-week holiday abroad. Savvy-minded savers could also be putting a large chunk of this money in their pension pot or stocks and shares individual savings account (Isa) to grow money through compounding. Psychologist and intimacy coach Dr Lori Beth Bisbey says: 'Modern dating is like playing the lottery with your wallet – you're swiping, hoping for a spark, but burning through cash on connections that can go nowhere. 'Ask yourself: would you pay £100 to meet a stranger with no guarantee of chemistry? Get clear on what you're looking for and don't be afraid to walk away if a match doesn't meet your standards – financially or emotionally.' She says you should call to talk to a potential date for ten minutes prior to meeting to spot red flags and judge if you want to spend your money and time on them.
