BARGAIN hunters have rushed to buy a cutesy garden accessory at B&M for just a couple of quid. 

The solar panelled paw print lights “completely transform” your outside decor, and are a steal compared to Amazon’s offering, which costs over ten times the price.

Shoppers can pop the fluorescent paws throughout their garden, creating funky trails with the lights that charge during the day and flick on automatically when it gets dark. 

Compared to Amazon’s price of £21, horticulturalists can nab the eco-friendly lights for £1.60 if they use the three for a fiver deal. 

Perfect for designing paw-lympic trails for your kids or gifting to pet enthusiasts, the LED lights don’t even need fiddly wiring due to their rechargeable battery. 

Gill Watson swears by their reliability: “I’ve got them, had them two years now and they still work as good as they did when I bought them.”

Sarah Gilbert joked: “They are paw-sitively smashing!”

Others complemented on the other solar-powered steals from B&M, such as the weather-ready garden fairy lights for £8. 

Lisa Shelley said: “The pack of lamps for £8 are brilliant… I’ve got them.” 

Kevan Stewart argued that the problem with the solar panels is that they can be a bit lacklustre during winter months when sunlight is sparse. 

He said, “In the winter months, it is dull and cloudy, so they do not charge up very much.”

That said, shoppers are also running to buy the retailer’s Apple dupe of a smart watch and earbud sets at 91% off.

Soaring off the shelves, they are now £2.50 rather than £29.

If interior decor is your thing, decorators are raving for their Wave Paper Natural Rope shade, which costs just a tenner.

The dupe of the Laura Ashley lamp, which sells at £70, was branded as “gorgeous” by social media followers.

5 ways to save money in your garden

Garden design experts at Lighting Legends have revealed the ways you can lower gardening costs.

1. Install a water butt

Water butts are a large container that sits in your garden and collects rainwater. This water can then be used to water plants, top up ponds or water features and wash the patio and other garden furniture. The natural outdoor water could help you save money on your water bills as you are less likely to use a hose during the summer months.

2. Use solar powered or LED lighting

Solar powered lights get their energy from the sunlight in the day so they can illuminate your garden at night. They’re easy to install and are a great choice for keeping electricity bills low. LED lights are another option that are long lasting and energy efficient.

3. Grow your own salad and vegetables

Growing your own salad and vegetables will not only save you money but it can also feel really rewarding. Things like lettuce, radishes, and spinach are all fairly easy to grow.

4. Upcycle waste and rubbish

Get creative and start upcycling items instead of throwing them away. Use sticks from ice lollies as plant tags or turn old watering cans and wheelbarrows into planters instead of buying new pots. Once you get creative the ways to upcycle are endless.

5. Start composting

Start composting your kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and coffee grounds and combine them with garden waste such as leaves and grass clippings to create a nutrient rich compost. This could reduce your need to spend money on expensive fertilisers.
