Stay sunny side up

If you’re heading outdoors for some sun, it could be worth visiting Superdrug first for their deals on sun creams and potions.

Until 25 August it’s got selected products from Ambre Solaire, Hawaiian Tropics or Nivea at two for £13, for instance.

Picnic promotions

If you’re planning a picnic, Sainsbury’s has a range of outdoor snacks on offer until 21 July. Pimento or Manzanilla olives are down from £3.50 to £2, for example.

And if you’re thirsty Jax Coco 1L Natural Coconut Water is currently on offer with “Buy 4 for £10” at Ocado until 18 August.
