How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
Louise Thompson’s fiance reveals harrowing moment she was ‘ten minutes from death’ haemorrhaging blood at home
LOUISE Thompson’s fiancé Ryan Libey has shared the terrifying moment she was “ten minutes from death” after haemorrhaging blood “like someone turning on a hose” weeks after giving birth to their son Leo.
In a raw and emotional interview on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast, Ryan spoke about Louise’s traumatic labour that lasted over 36 hours – a nightmare that saw Louise fighting for her life.
The ordeal escalated into an emergency C-section that should have lasted 45 minutes but dragged on for almost four hours.
Louise was awake throughout, losing a huge amount of blood.
When Leo was born, he was in distress, suffering respiratory issues linked to meconium, a bowel obstruction in newborns.
But the nightmare didn’t end at the hospital.
Weeks later, Louise suffered a haemorrhage at home that nearly killed her.
He said: “I was in our bedroom. She was in the spare bedroom.
“And we’d done that because, well, one, there’s extra stairs to climb to get to our bedroom, and she was not mobile.
“Two, I just wanted her to go into a space where she could just rest and not worry about the baby or how untidy the bedroom was—just go somewhere that’s ready for you.
“So she was in there, and just the shriek, or the shout, or the scream—whatever best describes this—just pierced through my body.
“And I must have flown from one bedroom down the staircase to the other.
“And I would describe it as like a gunshot victim on the floor.
“I’ve never seen blood like it. Not even compared to the hospital. I’ve never seen it.”
Ryan revealed their white bed sheets turned red while he was holding Leo, who was screaming.
He said: “I can’t actually remember where Leo is in this moment in time. I feel like he’s in my arms. I think he was with me versus in the bed with Louise.
“So he’s in my arms, tiny little thing screaming, and Louise is in this bed which is filled with blood and sort of…
“Louise herself described the blood loss as if ‘someone had switched a hose on.'”
Ryan desperately tried to stop the bleeding with bath towels while holding their tiny son.
He called 999, fearing she wouldn’t survive the next ten minutes.
He told them: “’If you don’t get here in ten minutes, she’s probably going to die, because the level of blood that I’m looking at is insane’.
“And these bath towels that I was trying to plug the bleed with quickly absorbed it and turned red.
“So I’m changing the towels. Louise is sort of slipping into this state of surrender, to be honest with… And then the ambulance did show up very quickly, actually.
Louise Thompson's Full Health Battle
THE Made in Chelsea alumni has always spoken candidly about her health - yet what does she suffer from?
Ulcerative Colitis
Louise was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis before becoming a mum.
It is a condition which causes the colon and rectum to become inflamed – with her new stoma bag “saving her life” after the debilitating battle
PTSD
The Pocket sportswear founder was frank when she opened up on her post-natal birth struggles.
She told how she had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in late 2022 following the birth of her son Leo.
It came after she nearly died twice in childbirth in December 2021.
Incurable Lupus
Back in 2022, Louise was diagnosed with incurable Lupus.
The autoimmune disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your tissues and organs.
Blood loss
In February 2024, it was revealed that she had once again been admitted to the hospital.
In the aftermath, Louise told how she had “survived a second time” after losing three litres of blood.
It came after the brave star haemorrhaged at home.
Thankfully, paramedics arrived quickly and saved her life — but this was just one of multiple life-threatening episodes.
Ryan also revealed Louise suffered a third major haemorrhage following a medical procedure months later.
He described returning home from work to find Louise being loaded into an ambulance amid a scene he called “a murder scene” in their bathroom.
Ryan opened up about Louise’s devastating battle with postpartum depression after the trauma.
He said: “We even had a crisis-management team come very regularly, which—to be really honest with you—was a suicide watch because she was so mentally checked out.
“Which is absolutely terrifying, and I don’t think I’ve quite processed that one. I think that was… that was something that I wanted to reframe straight away.”
Louise has since proudly revealed she has had a lifesaving stoma bag fitted after a long health battle.
She has also been battling PTSD and anxiety since giving birth to Leo in 2021.
Ilia Topuria shows off insane body transformation after making shock career decision ahead of UFC 317 fight vs Oliveira
ILIA TOPURIA has undergone a dramatic body transformation ahead of his octagon return.
The Georgian-born Spaniard is just over two weeks away from challenging for the lightweight title in the main event of UFC 317 in Las Vegas.
Topuria, 28, will challenge former titleholder Charles Oliveira for the belt recently vacated by pound-for-pound king Islam Makhachev.
The fight will be Topuria’s first since he announced his own vacation of the featherweight strap and a move up to 155lbs in February.
The slick striker has used the last few months to put on some considerable size and is now sporting a significantly more muscular frame.
Snaps of Topuria’s bulkier physique sent MMA fans into meltdown, with one saying: “That smirk when you know you’re about to go 17-0 and add another belt to the collection.”
Another said: “He will be a menace at 155.”
And another said: “Ilia Topuria is looking jacked.”
One remarked: “My boy looking thicc as f**k.”
Another chimed in: “He’s a real problem at 155. No one else has that KO power in that division except for Charles but it’s not the same as Topuria’s.”
JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS
Topuria’s move up to lightweight came on the back of a devastating first and final defence of the 145lbs title against Max Holloway last October.
He moved up so he’d no longer have to lose over a STONE to make the featherweight limit.
Topuria’s clash with Oliveira will not only be his first at lightweight, it will also be his maiden fight since leaving his long-time trainers, the Climent Brothers.
‘El Matador’ recently left the Alicante-based Climent Club, which is run by brothers Jorge and Augustin, as he made Madrid his training base.
The split was an amicable one, with Jorge telling Submission Radio: “You feel, always, this is not good for the sentimental feeling, but this [is] life.
“We go with him on the journey and now he grow, and he wants to fly away, you know?
“We are very proud to [go as far as we did] with him.
‘We are very proud for everything he [has done].
“Of course, we are a little sad, but I want everything in his life [to] continue going well.
“I want all good for him and his brother, and I think that they do the same for us.
“I don’t know what can be in the future.
“We have our own [direction right now] We love him. We love his brother.
“We know he’s going to [beat] everybody that [he fights] because he’s the best.
“Always, he’s going to be like our son.”
