Lidl will soon start selling Stanley cup dupe that’s £55 cheaper than the original
LIDL is gearing up to launch a Stanley cup dupe that’s £55 cheaper than the original.
The discount store’s version is almost impossible to tell from the real thing, and it’s just £5.99.
The Livarno Home Stainless Steel Insulated Mug will be hitting stores from June 22.
Just like a Stanley flask, it comes in a Barbie pink shade and has a narrower base to fit in car cup holders.
It also has a 2-in-1 lid, which can be used with or without a drinking straw.
The body of the flask is double-walled, meaning that it keeps drinks hot or cold.
It is also BPA-free, meaning it contains no bisphenol A, which is a synthetic chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins.
It’s often found in various products, including food and drink containers.
It can hold up to 1.2L and comes with a three-year warranty.
The lid and straw is also dishwasher safe.
Original Stanley flasks range between £30 and £60, making Lidl’s product £54.99 cheaper.
Stanley travel cups are available to buy directly from Stanley’s website and other stockists including Amazon, John Lewis, Urban Outfitters, Fruugo and Foot Asylum for a huge £42-£48.
Both flasks have a stainless-steel design, double-wall insulation and multi-function sipper suitable to be used with or without a straw.
Stanley unveiled an impressive new 2025 line up earlier this year, sending hydration enthusiasts into a frenzy.
Since the Barbie collection took the UK by storm in 2023, Stanley has elevated their game with fresh designs that are both practical and Instagram-worthy.
Stanley Quencher cups are available to buy directly from Stanley’s website, but there are plenty of other UK stockists you can shop from, including:
If you’re one of the many Brits coveting your very own Stanley Adventure Quencher cup, we have details of where to shop the must-have cup here in the UK.
This comes after Lidl unveiled its own take on Crocs.
Set to fly off the shelves like clog-work, the headline act, is a shoe-stopping pair of Lidl Adults’ Clogs, which come in the iconic Lidl yellow or bold blue.
Priced at just £4.99, with sizes ranging from 3.5 to 11, savvy shoppers of all sizes can tap their toes to the beat in style.
Bargain hunter shares how 4.5million people could qualify for £100 off TUI Holiday
BARGAIN hunters have revealed how millions of Brits could qualify for cheaper TUI flights this summer.
The little-known trick could knock £100 off TUI holidays for 4.5 million people.
Signing up for a Blue Light Card if you are a member of the emergency services could get you access to hundreds of discounts.
Not least of which is a £100 off TUI holidays discount for members of the scheme.
The scheme is available for a huge range of professions and offers hundreds of amazing discounts at several businesses.
Those working in the emergency services, NHS, social care sector, teaching community and armed forces can apply for a Blue Light Card.
Discounts at a range of stores and businesses can be nabbed by card holders who pay just £4.99 for the service.
TUI is now offering discounts on flights for Blue Light Card holders with £100 off holidays.
The discount also applies for NHS staff under TUI’s “Holidays for Heroes” scheme.
While checking out on the TUI website, entering a Blue Light Card code or NHS email automatically activates the discount.
The “Holidays for Heroes” scheme offers eligible members the chance to amend their departure date free of charge if needed.
Specifically for NHS staff, the scheme offers the lowest online price for TUI package holidays, plus an extra £100 off on bookings over £1200.
The Blue Light Card discount allows members to get the same £100 off offer as the “Holidays for Heroes” scheme.
The membership scheme offers discounts on a range of goods and services with dozens of big name brands offering money off to card holders.
Discounts at JD sports, TUI, Dominoes, EE, Halfords, Starbucks, Apple and more are available with the scheme.
To sign up you will need to be a professional working for the emergency services, NHS, in the social care sector, teaching community or armed forces.
People employed in accepted jobs can head online and sign up for the scheme online, offering up proof of employment.
Once accepted, members will need to pay a £4.99 fee for two years of membership.
After completing the simple sign up members will get their card and gain access to the impressive range of discounts.
Eagle eyed bargain hunters recently discovered that card holders could save £100 on TUI holidays and shared the news on social media.
Hundreds of people responded with likes and comments, amazed by the discounts.
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.
I tested full-face make-up palettes for your summer getaway – budget option is £1.50 a pan
WHILE I haven’t got my summer getaway sorted yet, I’ve found the solution to when you only have cabin luggage allowance.
And that’s a full-face make-up palette.
Here, I put three to the test . . .
BUDGET
By Beauty Bay Make Face multi-use complexion palette, £18 for 48.5g, beautybay.com: Cream formulas are my favourite.
I find they tend to be easier to apply as you can use your fingers rather than needing any brushes.
And they often look more natural than those with a powder finish.
There’s an impressive 12 shades in this compact – three concealers, two colour correctors, three bronzer/contour shades, two blushers, setting powder and a highlighter shade.
It works out at £1.50 per pan, which is a bargain.
But I found the formulas slightly waxy, which means it’s hard work getting them to melt into skin.
MID RANGE
Sculpted By Aimee bare basics palette, £34 for 22g, sculptedbyaimee.co.uk: I’ve never used every single shade in a palette, but this clever collection has made that possible.
The seven pans contain a suits-all edit of products.
Three powder eye-shadows (a champagne-hued shimmer, matte warm-toned brown and a shimmery darker brown), a bronzer and a setting powder alongside a cream highlighter and a cream blush.
The powders are super pigmented, and finely milled so as not to be chalky or dusty, while the balms are buttery enough to blend out in seconds, yet still deposit plenty of colour.
It’s so good, I’ve been using it daily, rather than saving it just for travel.
LUXURY
Kevyn Aucoin Contour Book: The Art Of Sculpting & Defining Vol III, £54 for 23.9g, sephora.co.uk: I am a huge fan of Kevyn Aucoin’s The Sculpting Powder, so I had high hopes for this palette.
There are only six shades, all centered on the cheeks, which can be repurposed as eyeshadow.
But the lack of setting powder is a huge omission for my oily skin.
The powders are very pigmented, so a little goes a long way, and they don’t look at all heavy on the skin.
It’s brilliant for sculpting cheeks, but there isn’t enough variety to replace my usual make-up.
PICK OF THE WEEK
THE sell-out £35 M&S Summer Beauty Bag is back for another year.
Launched this week, the edit contains the best of the beauty hall, with four full-sized products and seven travel miniatures, all worth £210.
Inside, you’ll find Colour Wow Dream Coat, new launches such as REN Evercalm Barrier Support Advanced SPF50, and products from This Works, Arkive, Tangle Teezer and Estee Lauder.
