SHOPPERS are rushing to their nearest bargains to snap up a “fancy” homeware purchase that costs half as much as the Matalan version.

Interior design fans can’t get enough of the budget retailer’s oval glass ribbed vase after spotting it in store.

And the £5.99 piece is very similar to a £14 version in Matalan.

Home Bargains shared a video of the vase on their social media channels, writing: “Have you spotted our new beautiful ribbed vase?! £5.99.”

Bargain hunters quickly headed to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook Group – with 2.4 million members – to share their love for the stylish vase.

Christina posted a photo of it on the page and said: “I found the same vase for £5.99 at bargain home or £14 in Matalan!!”

Someone else wrote: “It’s beautiful!!”

A third added: “I saw this, here we go.”

A fourth chimed in: “Omg I’m coming home tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, another gushed: “It is so the vase.”

Unfortunately, the Home Bargains ribbed vase is only available in stores, so you’ll have to be quick to get your hands on one.

And some shoppers are already disappointed, as one said: “I can’t find it anywhere, not even on the website arghhhh.”

Another echoed: “They don’t have it in ours.”

“Where are these house deals with all the good stuff on display here?” asked a third.

“None of this could ever be found in my nearest one, about a 40 minute drive away! Gutted.”

And if you’re looking for a house bargain, try the new one opening near Glasgow after a huge £3 million investment.

The much-loved discount retailer is opening its third branch in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, this weekend.

Elsewhere, Home Bargains fans have reason to celebrate after the discount retailer started selling their Sol de Janeiro body butter dupes online.

The products have been sold out in stores for weeks, but an observant shopper spotted the product online.

Sol de Janeiro’s originals – like the beloved Bum Bum cream – are considerably more expensive.

While the Home Bargains versions cost £4.49 for 200ml, the originals cost £35 for 150ml – a saving of a whopping £30.

She thought she would try her luck when she saw some familiar looking chicken nuggets in Home Bargains.

And when she got home, Lucia quickly whipped up a batch of nuggets to see if they were a dupe for the McDonald’s classic.

“I saw these chicken nuggets in Home Bargains the other day, and I thought they really looked like McDonald’s, so I’m going to try them and see if they’re a dupe,” she began her TikTok. videoas he held up the £2.69 bag.

“I’m going to air fry these, because air fryers are for life, and if you don’t have one, what the fuck are you doing?” she joked.

“But you can fry them, you can cook them in the oven, or you can air fry them.”

She also fried up some fries in her air fryer and took a big whiff of the meal when it was ready, exclaiming, “They smell like McDonald’s chicken nuggets!”

Lucia then stopped and said, “Oh my God. See, when I said they look so similar to McDonald’s, I had McDonald’s chicken nuggets two nights ago.

“They have that McDonald’s flavor, right?”

After tasting the nugget for the first time, she decided to taste it again after dipping it in McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce.

“Oh, my God,” she cried again.

“If I closed my eyes and you told me this was McDonald’s, I would 100% believe you!

“It looks so much like McDonald’s. Oh, my God.

“These are amazing. Insane!”

The comments section was immediately filled with people sharing their thoughts on Lucia’s find, with one writing: “Oh, I do!”

“They are so nice,” another agreed.

“They taste even more like maccies if you eat them with the sauce,” said a third.

As others shared where they found more McDonald’s nugget dupes.

“Quorn nuggets are all McDonald’s shapes and they are AMAZING BALLS!!!!” said one.

“Heron’s version, deep fried in the fat, is 10/10 perfect,” added another.

“McCains quick cooked fries in the air dryer shaken in salt are just like McDonald’s too,” wrote a third.

As someone else insisted: “The farm food nuggets taste just like McDonald’s!”

A MAKEUP lover shared a dupe that put her off expensive luxury foundation for life.

Once she discovered the money-saving alternative to the drugstore, she could never afford $70 again.

2

Laurens (@lolo.lehnen) revealed the beauty dupe in a TikTok video.

She explained to viewers that her favorite drugstore products were not only affordable at under $20, but were also a “need.”

During a trip to the drugstore, she bought the $16 Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfection Essence foundation.

“I will never spend my money on Chanel again. Since I started this foundation, I can’t stop using it,” she admitted.

She found the Covergirl base worked well as an alternative to Chanel’s $70 Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint.

The hybrid skincare and makeup formula has an essence that promises improved skin tone and fewer dark spots.

Those looking for a foundation with intense coverage may want to pass up, as the Covergirl promises a radiant “bare-skin” filter effect.

In addition to the light coverage, Covergirl says the serum foundation hydrates the skin for up to 24 hours.

Large numbers of shoppers agreed with Lauren’s assessment and gave the product glowing five-star reviews.

“I bought this to fit my 43 year old skin. It feels great and hydrating, and gives a pop of color and blur,” wrote one reviewer.

“I’ve been really struggling to figure out what kind of makeup works on my aging skin and this finally stopped me feeling hopeless!”

Others were impressed with the foundation’s formulation and shade range.

“Perfect color match and it fit really great,” wrote another satisfied customer.

“Apply 9 hours after the first application and my complexion still looks hydrated and smooth. I love this stuff!”

AN interior designer has shared an affordable Walmart dupe for a $300 Pottery Barn planter.

She was impressed with the large size and quality of the dupe, for just a fraction of the price.

Kaycie (@greybirchdesigns) shared the brunt of gardening in a TikTok video.

“Here’s the dupe I found this weekend,” she said, showing off the large, off-white planter from Better Homes & Gardens.

“This is such a great dupe of the $300 fluted planter, but for a fraction of the price!

Instead of breaking the bank Pottery Barn’s versionHowever, she managed to get the dupe for a bargain.

“This size for the Pottery Barn is $300, which is crazy, this one is much less.”

Even though the dupe was made of a different material than Pottery Barn’s Terracotta, she thought it was a plus.

“The difference, however, is clearly that this is plastic, which, as I said before, I honestly prefer.

“I’m so impressed with the format and how similar it is.”

The intricate details of the planter dupe also made it worth it.

“This looks like it has a little bit more of a gray tint to it, but it’s really beautiful. It almost looks like stone, but it’s plastic,” she said.

“I worked at Pottery Barn and this one is better than the real thing,” said one commenter.

“The other one breaks off so easily and is hard to wear.”

One viewer suggested a way to pass off the dupe as real.

“Krylon makes spray paint for plastic if a different color is desired!” they said.

While the dupe is sold out at Walmart, the retailer has other planters from Better Homes & Gardens.

FENTY Beauty currently has over five BILLION views on TikTok, so it’s safe to say it’s taken over the makeup world.

With their products ranging from £8.50 to £115, beauty fans may need to save their pennies for a while before grabbing one of their products.

The brand supplies all the makeup bag essentials, from mascara to lip gloss and foundation, but it doesn’t come cheap.

That’s why beauty fans are thrilled to discover that Aldi’s latest product is inspired by Fenty Beauty and will save shoppers more than 82 percent compared to the popular celebrity brand.

Shoppers can get their hands on a Gloss Bomb-inspired lip gloss, the Lacura Gloss Boss, for just £3.99, as well as the new Lacura Perfect Skin Tint for just £4.99.

Available in two shades ‘Pretty in Pink and ‘In the Buff’, the new additions are coming as tinted glosses are set to take this year’s makeup trends by storm.

Now that #FentyBeauty has amassed 5 billion views, Aldi is also welcoming the Lacura Perfect Skin Tint.

Rihanna fans will be delighted to hear that Aldi’s health and beauty brand Lacura is welcoming a NEW hydrating and brightening Lip Gloss Boss (£3.99, 2.7ml) to its dermatologically tested and cruelty-free range.

The must-have launch promises to deliver the perfect amount of shine and hydration.

The pouts look fuller, smoother and lightly perfumed with a delicious vanilla scent.

The new additions come as tinted glosses are set to be a big makeup trend for 2024.

And that’s not all; with Rihanna’s #FentyBeauty Trending on TikTok, Aldi is also launching the NEW Lacura Perfect Skin Tint (£4.99, 30ml) in stores this spring.

The lightweight tinted moisturizer provides buildable coverage that effortlessly evens skin tone.

Available in six shades, ranging from ‘Fair’ to ‘Dark’, the formula blurs imperfections – similar to the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint, but 82 percent (£0.74 per ml) cheaper.

Aldi’s latest range of make-up beauty buys will be available in stores nationwide from September 17 March, while supplies last.

What is Fenty Beauty?

Singer Rihanna created the makeup brand “so women everywhere would be included.”

Fenty Beauty, which is currently worth £2.1 billion, targets a wide range of traditionally ‘hard-to-match’ skin tones and develops formulas that work for all skin types.

The brand was launched in 2017 and is a 50-50 joint venture with LVMH, which is run by Bernard Arnault, the second richest person in the world.

The products are available in Sephora and Boots stores.

A DUPE expert has shared her $11 alternative to the popular $24 Milk Makeup blush.

Besides the wallet-friendly price, she also raved about the makeup dupe’s softer finish.

Kelly (@kellygooch) shared the beauty find in a TikTok video.

“Dupe alert! The Milk Makeup cream blush is so popular here on TikTok, but the full size is $24,” she said.

She showed off the blush wand and examined the coral blush on the inside of her wrist to show its finish.

“This cream blush from Flower Beauty is so similar,” she said, holding the $10 Flower Beauty Gel Crush Lip & Cheek.

“The only real difference is that Flower is more dewy,” she said.

Under the Milk Makeup swatch, she rubbed the blush dupe to reveal a more radiant finish.

Milk Makeup currently features six core and five new shades, including a peachy pink to true red to a rosy beige range.

Flower Beauty’s line includes six options, from coral to deep burgundy.

The Flower Beauty blush also contains more product, with 10 grams compared to Milk Makeup’s six.

Both stains can be used on the cheeks and lips for an instant pop of color.

However, the formulation differed as Milk Makeup’s blush is cream-based while Flower Beauty’s version came in gel form.

Those with drier skin types may prefer Flower Beauty, whose gel formulation claims to boost hydration.

“The unique gel texture contains pure pigments that glide over the skin in one refreshing stroke, giving it a wave of moisture that lasts all day,” says Flower Beauty.

“A multi-tasking dewy finish with a mixed berry scent blends softly and beautifully for an instant burst of hydrating color.”

IF there’s one thing Paris Fury has, it’s good taste – and her choice of candles is no different.

The mum-of-seven has revealed her current waxing obsession which she uses to wind down at night.

Taking to Instagram Stories, the 34-year-old shared a video of herself lighting a three-wick candle while rocking a new pair of personalized pajamas.

It’s the Pomegranate Noir Luxury Candle from Jo Malone, which will set you back a whopping £370 for a 2kg jar.

“This scent is so nice,” said Paris, from Morecambe, Lancs.

“I think Jo Malone has some of the best fragrances.

“No commercials guys, just what’s burning in my room right now.”

The enormous candle has a burn time of approximately 220 hours and is said to “fill the room with juicy pomegranate and smoky guaiac wood, carried by the warm evening air.”

The pomegranate scent, which has a tart aroma, is also available in a perfume from the iconic British brand.

The fragrance features juicy plum notes that add sweetness and warmth, pepper for a subtle spicy undertone and woody notes for a hint of smokiness.

Luckily for those of us who can’t afford to part with nearly £400 on a candle, there’s a dupe available.

Asda’s Pomegranate Scented Multiwick Candle with Lid is said to be an absolute killer for the scent at just £7.

“Fill your home with the deliciously sweet aroma of pomegranate with this three-wick candle from George Home,” supermarket bosses said.

“Completed with a silver-colored lid, it simply looks elegant in any room.

“It has sensual notes of exotic pomegranate and dark plum, laced with spices.”

According to shoppers, it smells “almost like the real thing” and “it’s super big.”

Many praised the scent’s ability to “linger all day” in any room, beaming that the scent “lingers for hours” after the wick has been blown out.

However, it’s worth noting that the Asda dupe has less burn time at 28 hours with 450g of wax per pot.

ALDI shoppers have gone wild for a Cadbury’s dupe – after a popular Easter goodie was axed.

The supermarket giant has launched new flavors of a creamy chocolate treat and fans are rushing to fill their shopping carts.

Aldi’s Egg Joyables are back on the shelves in three different, delicious varieties.

Chocolate lovers were happy to see the Cookies and Creme, Milk Creme and Choco Cream versions in their colorful boxes.

They come with four delicious eggs and cost £2.49.

The useful information was posted on a Facebook group and quickly received many likes, shares and comments.

One praised the Easter treat, sharing: “I bet the kids would love this.”

“No way!!,” wrote another impressed shopper.

Someone else wrote: “I love them.”

“If you see these, please give me two boxes,” another fan asked his friend.

Meanwhile, someone posted: “We’ll have to settle for this,” in response to Cadbury discontinuing the original chocolate cream treats.

The Egg ‘n’ Spoons included four chocolate eggs in a box filled with vanilla or chocolate mousse, also with a special Oreo variant.

But Cadbury confirmed last year that the egg cartons containing their spoon “have been discontinued to reflect the changing taste buds of our fans.”

The industry giant reconfirmed that the nostalgic Easter treat had been axed when a mother wrote about her son’s heartbreak.

She said: “My son is very nostalgic for the chocolate eggs and spoons. Since it’s Easter, he wanted me to buy some. I just found out it has been discontinued! Why? He says he is heartbroken. Children’s taste buds don’t change! A real shame!”

Cadbury commented on the post: “We have some great new treats to try this year though!” These include a new Dairy Milk Half & Half Ultimate Easter egg and the new Creme Egg Bar.

Fans have called Cadbury’s shutdown on X (formerly Twitter) a “crime”.

One user wrote: “This is the worst day of my life”, while another said: “I miss egg and spoon intensely now, hope Cadbury knows what it has done to me”.

Another fan added: “My villain origin story will be the fact that Cadbury has discontinued their egg spoons.”

It comes as chocolate fans race for a chance to win an incredible “ultimate” Cadbury Easter egg worth £12.

Participating in the competition is free and you only have to answer one question.

Plus, Aldi shoppers are also going crazy for a new delicious dupe that they claim is even better than Cadbury’s.

The chocolate bar costs just £1.39 and appears to be modeled on Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Marvelous Creations treat, but it’s 60p cheaper

And chocoholics have been left drooling as a popular Easter treat returned to supermarket shelves this week.

A BEAUTY fan has shared her review of $6 dupes she found for a $42 YSL lipstick.

Although there were notable consistency differences, she said that at $6 there was no battle between the two beauty products.

Ale Jay (@alejayofficial) shared the makeup test drive in a TikTok video.

“The YSL lipsticks cost a whopping $42 and SheGlam only $6! Talk about a bargain!” she said.

“Let’s test them side by side, okay?”

On one side of her lips she applied the YSL lipstick in shade 15. On the other hand, she used SheGlam lipstick in the shade Plot Twist.

“The shades are very different,” she said, comparing SheGlam’s mauve swatch to YSL’s cool purple-pink.

“The SheGlam feels a little shinier than the YSL. The YSL feels more like a lipstick,” she added.

“The textures are quite similar. The YSL feels a little thicker than the SheGlam. The SheGlam feels very light, more of a lip gloss.”

She then applied shade number 13 from YSL, which she compared to SheGlam’s Rule Breaker.

“They both don’t leave that sticky feeling on the lips that we love,” she said.

“I feel like the shades are quite similar, but the consistency is very different.”

Although she preferred YSL’s beautiful packaging, she didn’t regret her purchase from SheGlam.

“For $6, honestly, you can’t beat this,” she said.

Her review inspired and influenced many who were eager to try out the dupe.

“I ordered the Sheglam and can’t wait to try them. I’m such a lippie girl,” said one commenter.

“The SheGlam looks so good,” another added.

CHANEL’s tweed blazers have an eternal allure, with checks in all sizes making a statement on the rough woolen fabric.

But with second-hand versions typically selling for $1,000 or more at auction, this isn’t a style that many of us will encounter.

The French fashion house has a rich history of iconic designs created by its founder, Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel.

Coco was instrumental in popularizing plaid design in women’s clothing in the early 20th century.

The pattern, which the brand’s directors still emulate in its ready-to-wear collections, reflects Chanel’s original vision of creating clothes that empower women.

But if you don’t have more than €1,000 to spend on a tweed blazer, where should you go?

Well, Primark for the dupes… of course.

The fashion giant’s Tartan Bouclé Structured Blazer features a texture similar to tweed, with a large white and navy blue checked design.

Described as “perfect for your all-occasion wardrobe”, the garment will set you back £36 – not a bad price for a jacket that looks like it’s worth a lot more.

“We don’t need to tell you what a versatile basic blazer is in a smart-casual wardrobe,” said Primark bosses.

“But there is a lot to be said about the iconic nature of a tartan style like this.

“Crafted from a tartan bouclé fabric that creates timeless texture and depth, this blazer features a classic notched lapel, long sleeves and two rows of decorative buttons down the front.”

“It is lightly tailored for a textured look,” they continued.

“Whether you pair it with jeans and a T-shirt in a smart-casual style, pair it with the matching skirt and a blouse for formal occasions, or something in between.

“We’re sure you’ll think of plenty of ways to wear this statement piece.”

Primark’s social media team shared a video of the jacket in action during Milan Fashion Week via Instagram.

Liv Nash said she was ‘obsessed’ with it, while another shopper wrote in the comments: ‘The jacket is fantastic.’

“But how nice is that blazer?” asked Michelle Kr.

Margaret Dolan simply called it a “great outfit.”
