Whether you’re planning a garden get-together, a weekend adventure, or just looking to cool down, we’ve rounded up the top deals of the week to help you enjoy summer in style, without burning through your budget.

Classic paddling pool for less at George

There’s nothing quite like a paddling pool to keep the whole family refreshed on a hot day. Head to George at Asda and pick up a 211 x 132 x 46 cm pool for just £12.24, down from £20.

It’s perfect for kids, and let’s be honest, adults too, to cool off and relax in the sun.

Fun fact: swimming is believed to have started as an organised activity as far back as 2500 BC in ancient Egypt, eventually making its way around the globe.

Argos home charcoal BBQ

What pairs perfectly with a paddling pool? A sizzling barbecue, of course!

Save 20% on this Argos barbecue, now just £11.20. It’s the ideal size for four people and quick to assemble, so you’ll be grilling in no time.

Did you know? The word barbecue has roots in the Taíno word barbacoa, used to describe the slow cooking of meat over an open flame by the indigenous people of the Caribbean.

Big sale at Decathlon

Ready to take on a new adventure? From inflatable paddle boards to blackout tents and mountain bikes, Decathlon has slashed prices across a huge range of summer essentials. Whether you're planning a camping trip or hitting the water, there’s something for every explorer.

Fun fact: Decathlon began in France in 1976 and now has over 1,700 stores in more than 70 countries!

Offers on great grub at the People’s Pub

Treat yourself to some proper good pub grub without the hefty price tag at People’s Pub.

Kick off your week with a mega burger and drink combo on a Monday and ease your way into the weekend with a delicious fish dish and drink on a Friday.

Did you know, each People’s Pub has its own unique name and character, inspired by the community it serves.

Head to their website to find your nearest one!

Save £10 at Go Ape

Looking for a thrill? Go Ape is offering £10 off when you book two activities together. Mix and match their high ropes with axe throwing, a Forest Segway ride or Nets Adventure for an unforgettable day out.

Use code Save10 when you check out.

Fun fact: Go Ape Battersea Park offers an epic treetop experience right in the heart of London, perfect for a city escape without leaving the city!

Summer sale at F&F

Time to freshen up your wardrobe? Tesco’s F&F range is full of seasonal styles and sun-ready outfits at fantastic prices. From lightweight cotton dresses to laid-back loungewear, there’s plenty to love in their summer sale.

Did you know? In 2020, F&F partnered with WWF to launch a sustainable children’s clothing line made entirely from 100% cotton, donating 5% of sales to wildlife conservation.

So what are you waiting for, grab them while they last and stay cool, adventurous and stylish all summer long.
