‘Running to Home Bargains’ shoppers say & race to check out cheap travel essentials & a £2.99 buy is great for the beach
SHOPPERS are running to get to their nearest Home Bargains, eager to check out the new travel essentials.
So if you’re lucky enough to be going on holiday this summer, you’ve come to the right place.
And don’t worry if you haven’t got loads of spare cash to splash, as thanks to this high-street chain, there’s loads of budget buys that are perfect for the beach.
Home Bargains took to Instagram to show off the range of new summer items, alongside the caption ‘New in-store! Beach vibes incoming!’
There’s a range of beach/pool towel clips available, which promise to hold your towel securely to your sunbed or deckchair.
For just £2.99, this bargain buy is a Home Bargains ‘holiday essential’, and will save you a lot of faff when trying to catch rays.
There’s also a selection of drinks clips, which are ideal for summer and will hold your beverage securely to your sunlounger.
These £3.99 buys are not only brilliant for chilling by the pool, but they’re also great for camping too.
Home Bargains is also selling a range of stylish towels, with prices ranging from just £6.99.
Not only are there large towels that are great for drying off after a dip in the pool, but if you’re looking for something a bit more compact, you can also nab a quick dry microfiber beach towel for just £4.99 – and it even comes in its own cute bag.
If you can’t afford to splash the cash on posh designer sunglasses (and don’t worry, neither can we), there’s a large selection of eyewear to choose from, with trendy aviator styles and even leopard print too.
And even if you aren’t jetting away this year, with a heatwave approaching, there’s a large selection of sun cream that will keep your skin protected during the warm weather.
There’s Hawaiian Tropic sprays and creams from £4.99, Piz Buin moisturising sun lotion for £5.79, a Malibu kids’ spray for £4.99 and Nivea protect and care kids’ roll on, also for £4.99.
If that wasn’t enough, Home Bargains is also selling a cosmetic bag that’s perfect for keeping your sun cream safe and your bag mess-free – and at £4.99, we think the ‘Sun Kissed’ buy is a total steal.
Cheap holiday essentials
IF you're jetting abroad this summer, here are the cheap holiday essentials you won't want to miss.
PACKING CUBES: They’re loved by mum-of-22 Sue Radford and not only do they save space in your luggage, but they’ll ensure that your case is super neat and tidy.
TAG TRACKER: There’s nothing worse than loosing your luggage, but thanks to this handy £15 buy from B&M, you won’t have to worry about that on your next trip.
KIDS’ CABIN BAG: Don’t worry if you can’t afford to splash the cash on a Trunki, as Aldi are selling an alternative dupe buy for just £29.99 – and it’s great for children.
HAND LUGGAGE CASE: For those that are opting to go hand luggage instead of paying a fortune for a check-in bag, Morrisons are selling extra small cases, that are perfect for taking on a flight, for only £7.99.
