Deals of the week: save big on match days, summer shopping and back-to-school essentials

With summer in full swing and plenty of football still to come, supermarkets and high street retailers are competing for your attention with some fabulous offers. From family meal deals and bargain school uniforms to huge homeware discounts, now's the perfect time to grab a great deal before these offers disappear.

Score big with KFC's football double bucket

If you're watching the football with family or friends, KFC's football double bucket could be just the ticket.

You can get six pieces of KFC's original recipe chicken, six succulent chicken tenders, four regular signature fries, two large sides and a large bottle of drink from £20.99.

Designed for sharing, it's an easy way to feed a hungry crowd without spending a fortune.

The offer is available until 19 July, so you've still got time to make the most of it during the tournament.

Beat the rush with £5 school uniforms at Aldi and Lidl

It might feel like the summer holidays have only just begun, but now’s actually one of the best times to think about back-to-school shopping.

Both Aldi and Lidl have brought back their hugely popular £5 school uniform bundles, giving you the chance to tick an expensive job off your list for a fraction of the usual cost.

The bundles are available in-store only, and they sell out incredibly quickly every year. If you want to avoid the August scramble and save yourself some money, it's worth picking yours up as soon as possible because once they're gone, they're gone.

Feed the family for less with Morrisons' match day meal deal

If you’re planning a football night at home, Morrisons has made entertaining much more affordable.

Its £10 match day meal deal lets you choose two mains, two sides and a drink for £10. The deal is designed to feed up to four people and could save you as much as £14.75 compared with buying everything separately.

The offer is available both in-store and online until 28 July 2026, making it a great option for match nights or an easy family dinner.

Refresh your home with IKEA's half-price sale

If you've been thinking about updating your home, now could be the perfect opportunity.

IKEA is offering up to 50% off hundreds of products, both online and in stores. Whether you're looking for fresh bedding, storage solutions, kitchen essentials or even a new sofa, you'll find plenty of discounts across the range.

Get match ready for less at Sainsbury's

If you're stocking up for a football get-together, Sainsbury's has plenty of savings for Nectar card holders.

You can enjoy Nectar Prices on selected tournament favourites, including one-third off selected Sainsbury's pizzas. There's also a popular bundle where you can pick up two pizzas, a garlic bread and a beer or soft drink for £10.

These offers won't be around forever, and many of the best bargains are available only while stocks last.
