SHOPPERS are racing to Lidl to grab a garden lighting essential that’s perfect for summer evenings – and it’s up to £8 cheaper than similar buys at other big-name stores.
The Livarno Home LED Parasol String Lights are on shelves for just £7.99 and have got garden lovers buzzing online.
They feature 72 twinkling mini LEDs, eight vintage-style bulbs, and give off a warm white glow – perfect for adding atmosphere to your patio or balcony.
There’s also a six-hour timer, so you can set them and relax without worrying about turning them off.
They’re designed for outdoor use and stretch 3 metres, so they’re ideal for wrapping around parasols or fencing.
The lights sparked a flurry of excitement on social media after one eagle-eyed shopper posted: “LED Parasol lights spotted at LIDL..!”
quickly racked up comments, with one fan writing: “Perfect. Hope they still have them tomorrow.”
Another tagged a mate and said: “I now fully understand why you were so excited… these look awesome!”
A third added: “Ooo these are so cute!!!”
But not everyone was glowing with praise.
One unhappy customer hit out: “This is the most disappointing product I have EVER bought from Lidl.
“The cabling is short, no means of fixing & if you do waste 2 hours of your life persevering in fixing these lights, they then interfere with the operation of the parasol & the cables are sliced.
“Save your money, don’t bother!!!”
Still, plenty of shoppers reckon they’re a steal – especially compared to similar options:

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
