WILKO has launched a summer sale and there's up to half price off hundreds of items including cushions, toasters and BBQs.

The Sun has spotted slow cookers going for as little as £20 and grills going for the same price too – perfect for sizzling sausages in this heatwave.

But before you splash out, make sure you compare prices online.

You might find you can get the same – or similar – items for less elsewhere.

Wilko told The Sun that the sale is available online and in stores.

Prices remain the same no matter where you shop for your haul, but stock is limited – so it might be wise to bag your bits sooner rather than later.

If you're shopping online, make sure you factor in the cost of delivery – which is pretty hefty.

How to compare prices to get the best deal

JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you – so don't be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

Here are some that we recommend:

  • Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
  • Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
  • Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
  • CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

It costs £5 for standard delivery, or £2 if you use Wilko's click and collect service and pick your order up from the store.

Here's the best deals we spotted in the Wilko summer sale:
