Lidl’s gadget that’s perfect for getting your garden ready for spring & is £190 cheaper than Karcher hits shelves TODAY
BARGAIN supermarket Lidl is launching a brand new garden gadget today and it is £190 cheaper than a similar tool from brand Karcher.
The tool can help you get your garden ready for spring for a fraction of the cost of the pricier brand — but you’ll have to be quick if you want it.
The product is The Parkside Pressure Washer and it is on shelves for the price of £119 from today.
It is listed on Lidl‘s website as “ideal for cleaning vehicles, patios, walls and more”.
In comparison, Karcher’s Pressure Washer is of a similar design and costs close to three times the price — listed as £299.99 on the Karcher website.
It can retail for as much as £399.99 but is currently on offer,
This gives customers the chance to save almost £190 from its current price, and a whopping £290 from its original price.
If you want to get your hands on the cheaper Lidl version, you’ll have to bear in mind that it is limited-edition so likely to sell out fast.
The launch follows many other dupe projects by the budget-friendly shop.
Lidl‘s Silvercrest hair styling tools were top-wanted rivals to the Dyson Air Wrap over Christmas — selling for £12.99 compared to the almost £500 original.
And Beldray’s AIRAPID Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is a take on the pricey Dyson version.
The product landed in stores this week and costs £49.99 for Lidl Plus members, or £54.99 for non-members, next week.
Lidl Plus is a free loyalty app that offers discounts on food, drinks, and household items from Lidl.
By comparison, Dyson’s version is on sale for £249.99 on its website, marked down from its typical retail price of £329.99.
To find your nearest Lidl store, go to its website and use the store locator tool.
It’s still worth shopping around before securing a Lidl dupe.
Other stores, such as Aldi, offer dupes of expensive branded products. And It’s worth making sure there’s not something cheaper out there — which might be better suited to your needs.
How can I save money when shopping at Lidl?
Lidl shoppers can usually spot reductions at the beginning of the day, with the best deals available when doors open between 7am and 8am.
You can often find vegetables, meat, fish and bread for at least 30% off its original price.
It also helps to keep tabs on what’s appearing in the “Pick of the Week” section on the Lidl website.
The discounts happen every Thursday and are usually on fruit, vegetables, and meat.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
