‘Bargain alert’ Tesco shopper raves over £15 buy that’ll transport you to Ibiza & light up your garden in an instant
WITH prices to sunny destinations skyrocketing over the summer holidays, not everyone will be able to afford to jet off for some fun in the sun.
But no fear…because it turns out there’s a super simple way you can now bring Ibiza to your very own back garden – and it’s all thanks to a bargain buy from Tesco.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@joannes_home2), a savvy shopper named Joanne shared a short video of her stunning back garden and penned: “POV: You’ve found the perfect solar garden lights for £15.”
She then revealed how she lit up her outdoor haven using ‘Tesco Solar Lisbon Pendant Light,’ which retail at £20 but can be snapped up for £15 if you have a Tesco club card.
Delighted with her purchase, she showed how she simply hung them from her fence, above her L-shaped sofa.
It’s a quick and easy way to create a warm and cosy ambience if you’re looking to host friends and family this summer.
Alongside the clip, Joanne penned: “Bargain alert!
“These solar outdoor lights are £15 each with a @Tesco clubcard!
“How nice do they look? & the brackets for my fences are from Amazon, really easy to put up and it means you don’t need a pergola to add light shades to your garden.”
She added: “I will paint them the same colour as my fences at some point for now they still look amazing, I’ll link them on my stories and highlights.”
Really nice looking and good quality solar lamp. Looks great in my garden!
It wasn’t long before the post went viral and garnered a whopping 155k views, with many quick to praise the bargain buy.
While one social media user branded it “stunning,” another noted: “Obsessed!”
A third commented: “Love it.”
Meanwhile, a fourth agreed: “These are lush!”
Another told how she bought the popular light two years ago, before adding that it’s “still going strong” because she makes sure to bring it inside every winter.
