Deals of the week: get your home ready for winter without overspending

As the nights draw in and temperatures start to drop, you might be tempted to give your home a winter refresh.

But with household bills still taking their toll, spending a fortune on new bedding, blankets and home accessories probably isn't appealing.

The good news is that several retailers have discounts on homeware, with savings on everything from faux fur cushions to cosy duvet covers.

Here are five deals worth checking out this week.

Aldi: special home products buys for bargain prices

There’s a whole host of items for the home available at super discount prices at Aldi. Such as a washable runner for £9.99, faux fur cushions for £6.99, king duvet cover sets for £11.99, and fitted sheets for just £4.99.

Tesco: Save £££s on super cosy bedding

Hot on Aldi’s heels is Tesco, where there’s plenty of bedding discounts up for grabs. Like an F&F Halloween ghost duvet set for £13, and a F&F home natural reversible duvet cover set for £10.

Wayfair: autumn homeware bargains

Wayfair's autumn sale has plenty of homeware products on offer for less. Like quality reversible duvet sets from just £9.99 and top quality woven rugs heavily discounted.

Argos: the Big Red Homeware sale

MFI: clearance sale

Shop the MFI Clearance for reduced prices across a wide range of home products and interior styles. With limited stock available, now’s the perfect time to get your favourites before they’re gone.

How to save even more on your winter home refresh

Even with discounts available, it's easy to spend more than you intended when shopping for homeware.

Before buying anything, try these simple tips:

• Check what you already own. A spare blanket or a different duvet cover might be all you need to make a room feel refreshed.
• Compare the full price, not just the discount. A product advertised as half price isn't automatically cheaper than a similar item elsewhere.
• Check delivery costs. These can eat into the saving, particularly on smaller purchases.
• Prioritise practical purchases. If your duvet is still in good condition, a new cover or an extra blanket may be better value than replacing it.
• Don't buy just because it's on sale. If you weren't planning to buy it, the money stays in your pocket by not spending it.

Just remember that prices, stock and promotional codes can change, so check the retailer's website before ordering.
