If you're getting ready for summer, Aldi's outdoor sale* may help. You can get 40% off selected outdoor items including garden furniture, BBQs, pizza ovens and more when you enter the code OUTDOOR40 at the checkout, until 11.59pm on Tuesday 11 April.
This code is for online orders only and delivery costs between £3.95 to £9.95. Delivery should take between three to five working days (extra large items can take a couple of days extra).
Aldi's told us there's no minimum spend and no limit on how many times the code can be used. When we checked on Tuesday 28 March, the code was valid on over 80 items*, including:
- Gardenline smoker BBQ*– £60 with the code, down from £99.99. The next cheapest similar BBQ we found was £129.99 at The Range
- Gardenline decorative gazebo* – £60 with the code, down from £99.99. Next cheapest similar we found was £129.99 at The Range
- Gardenline gas pizza oven* – £119.99 with the code, down from £199.99. Next cheapest similar we found was £136.95 at Amazon
- Intex inflatable four person hot tub* – £179.99 with the code, down from £299.99. Next cheapest similar tub we found was £399.95 at OnBuy
- 14ft Rebounder trampoline* – £179.99 with the code, down from £299.99. Next cheapest similar we found was £335 at Argos
As with all Aldi Specialbuys, it's best to go quick if you want something as stock tends to be limited and when they're gone, they're gone.

A sale that's always popular with MoneySavers – the Tesco Clubcard toy sale is now available on selected toys. You can shop the sale in 35 stores (find your nearest*) from Monday 20 March, and then in all other Tesco stores that sell toys and online from Monday 3 April.
Tesco told us the online sale is only for items that fit into a 'green delivery tray'. Larger items will need to be bought in store.
The sale runs until 11.59pm on Sunday 30 April, though of course some items may sell out in some stores before then, so if you’ve got your eye on something it may be best to go quick.
The special price is only available if you're a Tesco Clubcard holder – to get the discount simply scan your Clubcard at the checkout in-store, or link it to your account (or add your Clubcard number at the checkout) when buying online. If you're not yet a Clubcard member you can register online* for free.
Online delivery’s £2-£7 or you can collect from a store for free or up to £2, depending on the time slot you choose.
When we checked on Monday 20 March, Tesco told us there were 70 toys available as part of the sale. Here are some examples we spotted:
- Little Live Pets Scruffaluvs Cutie Cuts – £15 (was £30). Next cheapest we found, £24.99 at Amazon
- Mario 50cm plush toy – £17.50 (was £35). Next cheapest we found, £24.99 at Amazon
- Plum Junior wooden sand pit – £27.50 (was £55). Next cheapest we found, £49.99 at John Lewis
- Evo Plus Dirt Rider scooter – £50 (was £100). Next cheapest and most similar £59.99 at Very
Tesco may not always be the cheapest for everything even during a sale, so be sure to check prices elsewhere before buying. Though it's likely stock will go fast so check for bargains early.

While stocks lastSelected toys, including brands such as Barbie, Peppa Pig and Hot Wheels, are currently up to 50% off in 423 Morrisons stores (find your nearest*) across the UK. Morrisons told us there's no end date to this sale and it's on while stocks last, so go quick if there's something you're after. It might be worth checking a few stores if you can't find a particular toy, as stock will vary between them.
How good is this sale?
The sale is billed as 'up to 50% off' and Morrisons told us there are 40 lines in the sale. As always, it's good to check prices at other retailers before buying, so that you know you're getting the best deal. We did price checks and found that some items were cheaper at other stores, so don't assume just because something's on sale that it'll automatically be cheapest...

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
