DRY BACK AND RELAX: George at Asda has a cute blue shark printed beach towel for £4, down from £5, or a rainbow design for £5.50, down from £7.
SAVE: £1.50 on a rainbow towel
SCREEN TIME: There are harmful rays, even when the weather is cloudy. Stay safe with Boots’ Soltan Protect & Moisturise lotion — Advantage card holders can buy a 200ml bottle for £3.50 instead of £4.

HAT TRICKS: Keep a cool head and protect your scalp from sunburn with a canvas bucket hat in black, white, pink or yellow for £3 at Primark. If that’s not your style, there’s also a frayed-edge floppy hat in natural straw colour, green or black at the same price.
PICNIC LUNCH: Avoid an expensive lunch out by packing your own snacks and drinks for the day. Keep everything chilled in the stylish Kirkton House leaf-patterned lunch bag from Aldi, for £4.99.
