Habitat is selling a garden chair that's perfect for summer lounging – and it's £80 cheaper than B&Q's version
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. 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. As summer continues many retailers will launch deals on garden furniture. Just this week Amazon revealed a £9 privacy screens with artificial flowers that will elevate your garden's look. And shoppers rushed to Asda after it brought back its sell-out garden lounge chair, which retails for only £39. B&M has also unveiled a deluxe Victorian garden arch for only £12.

Aldi launches garden furniture dupe of must-have designer item but for £40 less
ALDI is flogging a stylish garden chair that looks just like a top-end designer version — but it's nearly £40 cheaper. The budget supermarket has launched its Garden Design String Chair for just £24.99, and shoppers will be rushing to grab it ahead of summer. 2 It's a near match for the New Acapulco garden chair, which is made from steel and synthetic wicker and usually goes for £80.95. Even with a current discount to £66.95, Aldi's version still comes in at over £40 less. The Aldi chair comes in two stylish shades — plum or lily pad — and features UV-resistant wickerwork and powder-coated steel legs. It measures 74 x 70 x 96cm and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, meaning you can enjoy it rain or shine. It's landing in stores from Thursday, May 22, but like all Specialbuys, stock is limited — and once it's gone, it's gone. Shoppers after that luxury garden look on a budget will need to move fast, as Aldi's designer dupes are known to sell out in record time. The string chair is part of Aldi's summer garden range, which regularly features stylish, low-cost alternatives to pricey high-street and designer brands. Aldi's Specialbuys are known for offering brilliant value on everything from garden furniture to kitchen gadgets. But the most popular products often sell out quickly, so it's worth signing up to Aldi's mailing list to get a heads-up on what's coming. Plus, keep an eye out for those special red-tagged reductions in-store — often applied when Aldi clears stock at even lower prices. It is also important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative. Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price. Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time. A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for too. Previous garden sales Recently, shoppers raced to Aldi after it dropped its latest garden must-haves — with prices starting from just £2.79. Elsewhere, B&M released a number of garden furniture pieces — including a Sienna double egg chair for £250 and a Paris 2-Seater Pod Chair also priced at £250. Argos has also slashed prices on outdoor and DIY essentials with discounts of up to £60. And earlier this year, Wilko dropped prices on patio sets, lounge chairs and bistro sets ahead of summer. In February, Dunelm had a huge clearance sale with discounts of up to 75% on hundreds of items. And most homeware stores hold sales in the summer. Last summer, Dobbies launched a huge sale with prices slashed by up to 50% on garden furniture, plants, and homeware. How to save money when shopping at Aldi Unlike other major grocers, Aldi does not have a rewards or point card system but that does not mean you cannot save on your shop. Every week the store releases a list of special buys, which are unique bargain products you find online at Aldi and in store. The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what's new. Meanwhile, the store also regularly sells fruit and vegetables at highly discounted prices, as part of its 'super six' deal. It also does weekly saving offers on typically pricey items such as meat and fish. Plus, it's worth keeping an eye out for products with red stickers on them. These are added to items that have been reduced due to them being close to their best before date or slightly damaged. The best time to get these reduced products is towards the end. When's the best time to shop at Aldi? WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy. For reduced items - when shops open Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick. A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates." That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens. Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool. For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools. New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals. For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time. Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
