If you're on the lookout for a hero product that will make coming home from the office on cold winter days a breeze, pick yourself up a slow cooker. Aldi currently has one from Ambiano in stores that costs just €29.99 and at 6.5L will easily feed a family of 4+. With three heat settings, you can simply switch on the cooker in the morning and return home to a scrumptious, piping-hot meal. For recipe ideas, check out irishexaminer.com/iefood and search 'slow cooker'.

Also in the special buy section this week is a 4.5l airfryer for €49.99 and a €24.99 milk frother, that will save you money if you are prone to purchasing frothy coffees in your local coffee shop because you can't remake them at home. It's simpler than it looks! See aldi.ie

Beauty dupes in Dunnes Stores and McCauley's 

Skin Proud products are now available in Dunnes Stores

One of our favourite affordable skincare brands, Skin Proud, has recently launched in Dunnes Stores. You might recognise the brand from TikTok, but up until recently, it was hard to find in stores on our shores besides the odd TK Maxx lucky find. If you're in the market for a new cleanser, the Skin Proud Face Melt cleansing balm (€14.95) is one of our favourites (and a dupe for the €30+ Clinique version) and the Clear Off Makeup Remover Pads (€7.95) always have a place in our travel bag. 

Lottie London's Sweet Lips

Meanwhile, Lottie London has landed on McCauley Pharmacy's website. The Lottie London Sweet Lips mask and balm, €6.95 is a great dupe for the LANEIGE lip sleeping masks which usually retail around the €22 mark. See mccauley.ie

DIY essentials in Lidl

20V Cordless Drill Driver in Lidl, €19.99

A recent survey carried out by Lidl found almost 9 in 10 (88%) of us carry out DIY projects in our home, with just 12% relying on hiring somebody else to give them a hand. With so many of us opting to do-it-ourselves, it's no wonder the deals keep coming in this department, and there is a new range of DIY essentials landing in the middle aisles from this Thursday, October 19. The deals will include 20% off a 20V Cordless Drill Driver (now €19.99, was €24.99) and 20% off a 20V Cordless Band Saw (now €79.99, was €99.99). Note, you will need a 20V Battery and Charger for both which are sold separately. You will also be able to get your hands on a 1600W Petrol Leaf Blower for €89.99. See  lidl.ie
