Helping You Spend Smarter This Autumn

Quality you expect, at prices you wouldn’t

With reports of hikes in energy bills to come, and the rising cost of living biting big chunks out of our household budget, it’s fair to say everyone’s feeling the pinch a little more right now. However, with a few savvy swaps and small changes, we can all spend smarter this autumn. We’ve put together a whole host of ideas, hints and tips to help you reduce energy use, cut down on food waste, reuse more, and save money too.

Think energy-saving appliances that mean you don’t need to use your main oven, ideas for batch cooking, making the most of your leftovers, and investing in quality products that do the job they say they will, that’ll stand the test of time, all at commonsense prices. It’s not about going without but thinking differently about how we spend our hard-earned pennies.

You can also look out for our extraordinary value guaranteed products, where we’ve lowered prices on all the everyday essentials you need for a smooth-running home. You’ll always know that you’re getting exceptional value and the usual quality you’d expect from Lakeland.

Spend Smarter with Lakeland

When we’re all trying to spend smarter, it can feel counter-intuitive to buy new, but when your kitchenware is past its best and a replacement is needed, the adage of ‘buy cheap, buy twice’ still rings true. When we’re trying to be thrifty, spending a few extra pennies can seem like a stretch, but it’s often better to buy well once, rather than having to shop for the same thing again and again. And that’s where Lakeland’s quality will always make a sensible choice; backed with a 3-year guarantee, you can always shop with confidence.

All the tech without the price tag

For over 60 years, quality has remained the single most important aspect of selecting which products we add to our range. We choose practical, hard-working kitchen and homeware electricals that do the job fantastically, but without the designer ‘big brand’ price tag. In some cases, the equivalent product can be as much as half of our leading competitors.*

Recognised as a Which? Recommended Provider of household appliances, shopping with Lakeland is the smarter way to get big brand features at a much smaller price – you’ll find super-efficient air fryers of every shape and size, worktop worthy stand mixers, and bread machines that always rise to the occasion, amongst all our other kitchen electricals that are hard to beat, and all come with a 3 year guarantee as standard. So why would you pay more?

How can I save energy?

We’re all feeling the impact of rising gas and electricity bills, but there are ways you can use less energy when you’re cooking for your family, drying your clothes or staying warm and cosy on chillier evenings.

Oven off, air fryer on. Save more.

You don’t always have to switch your main oven on at mealtimes. We’ve long been advocates of air frying, and our brilliantly priced range covers every size of household, from our compact, small footprint version, to our Lakeland 12-in-1 Air-fryer Grill that take multi-tasking to a new level. There’s even one that will cook a pizza in four minutes flat!

And who doesn’t enjoy a chippy tea every now and again? But if you’re reluctant to splash out every week, an air fryer will create lighter ‘fakeaway’ versions of your deep-fried favourites. Our Dual Air Fryer has two independently-controlled baskets with a sync function, so you can cook your fish and chips at the same time.

Even though it’s on for longer, a slow cooker (or multi-cooker) uses less energy than your oven and is perfect for batch cooking delicious and nutritious meals that can be frozen and enjoyed later. And stacking your freezer properly can help you save energy (and money) too. Check out our Top Ten Freezer Hacks to see how you can make more efficient use of your freezer and cut down on food waste.

 

Quality cookware with a common-sense price tag

Experts since 1964, cookware is without doubt our speciality. Versatility meets technology with our stainless steel, 10 in 1 Only Pan Tri-Ply Pro. Bringing together all the benefits of our most versatile pan ever, combined with the expert level cookware know-how from our Tri-Clad range, this pan is seriously impressive and almost half the price of other brands. 

Pairing the strength and good looks of stainless steel, with the convenience and peace of mind of PFAS-free ceramic non-stick, this is a must-have for any hob… oh, and it even goes in the oven too!

If colour is your thing in the kitchen, then don’t worry, we have you covered. Find our new hues of Only Pans here.

Homemade is best

There are lots of costs that are going up just now – including the price of everyday essentials like food. Whilst there is an initial outlay, once you’ve got the kit to make your own the savings will come as well as the satisfaction of knowing exactly what’s in your food.

If you are in your homemade bread era, then a bread maker is a must. You control all the ingredients, and let’s face it, you can spend a small fortune on treating yourself to your favourite seeded rye every weekend. Imagine making your own at the press a button, and instead of splurging out on one ready-made loaf, you could buy the ingredients to make as many as you like.

Pound for pound, the Lakeland Artisan 14 in 1 Bread Maker costs less dough to buy than the leading competitor’s version, with all the same programmes. And the ability to make bread when you need it will save throwing away half eaten stale loaves. 

But bread is just the start of your homemade journey – find more homemade helpers here.

 

 Waste less, save more

We’re the experts in making your food last longer and we’re tackling the nation’s food waste problem head on. With more research, development and testing, our StayFresh range will help you keep food fresher for longer, so you can stop throwing away food that’s normally past its best by the end of the week.

StayFresh Sheets with Rypen Technology are scientifically proven to make fruit last 50% longer. They absorb the naturally occurring gasses that cause food to over ripen before you have a chance to eat it, giving you longer to enjoy your fresh fruit and veg. And if you team them with our StayFresh Produce Keepers, your purse will really feel the difference.  Find our food storage range here.

 

 

Dry clothes quicker without using your tumble dryer

Quicker to dry than a traditional airer and kinder to clothes than a tumble dryer, our Dry:Soon Heated Airers are the smart choice if you can’t dry your clothes outside during the autumn and winter.

Backed by over 15 years of innovation and our competitor-busting 3-year guarantee, there’s a reason our Deluxe model has been recognised as the Which? Best Buy for heated airers 3 years in a row. And don’t just take our word for it, look at the thousands of happy customers who’ve left a review to say how a Dry:Soon has transformed their wash day for the better. They cost pennies to run, and you can even speed things up further by using a Dry:Soon cover. Not sure which one is right for you? Take a look at our buying guide.

 

 

Heat yourself, not the room

Seeing the dial whizz round and the bills mount up on your meter when the central heating’s on is no fun. Hold off turning up that central heating just a little while longer with our extra snuggly heated blankets and throws. Our heated throws cost pennies to run, are thicker than most so you don’t feel the wires inside, are all machine washable, and very sensibly priced too. They’re a luxury treat, without the luxury price tag. And with Christmas coming, they’d make a thoughtful gift too.

While it might not seem like much, all these small savings will soon mount up, and it won’t be long before you start to see the benefit of using less energy at a time when we’re all so concerned about rising prices. 

 

Protect your favourite cloths

If you’ve invested in key wardrobe staples and chosen garments with care, taking steps to prevent moths damaging your clothes and carpets is a sensible choice. Our Moth Stop range will help you moth-proof your home in three easy steps: detect, destroy and protect.
