Posting in the popular money-saving Facebook group , Teresa Cook showed off her new solar stake lights, which she snapped up for just £1.50 each.

"My partner bought these solar stake lights yesterday in Sainsburys, four for the price of three at £1.50 each," she raved.

"The results are amazing. Like laser quest down the path," she added, alongside a snap of the bargain buy.

In the night time picture, the lights look pretty impressive - Teresa lined them along the boarders of her garden so they light up the path with their beams.

The lights are available in Sainsbury's for just £1.50 each and come in both black and copper.

The product description online reads: "If you are looking to pick out a path way, or add a touch of distinction to your front door, then these lights are ideal.

"They are solar powered, so you don't need to worry about cables or batteries.

"And being made of robust stainless steel and glass, they will carry on shining whatever the weather."

So, what's not to love?

It turns out other Facebook users also snapped up the same lights and can't get over how stunning they look in their gardens too.

One raved: "I bought some four years ago most of them are still working."

"Look amazing better get myself to Sainsbury's" a second wrote.

And a third shared a helpful hack for shoppers to try out: "Tip to stop the rain getting in the solar panel… paint a couple of thin coats of clear varnish over the top."

Meanwhile, other gardening fans noted that similar solar garden lights create the same stunning light beams, including ones from Asda.

"Asda's £1 ones do the same," one homeowner raved, sharing a picture of the lights in her own garden.

And other keen bargain hunters added that solar lights are usually available from Home bargains for as little as 79p each.

How to do up your garden on a budget

With summer just around the corner, here are five easy ways to makeover your outdoor space.

  1. Adding lights - while it might seem obvious adding a few solar lanterns can help you make the most of your space, even when it is dark.
  2. Repainting your fences - with outdoor paint starting from as little as £5 per tub, this is an easy way to revamp your garden
  3. Using decorative mulch - whether it is pebbles or gravel, these stones can help makeover your flowerbeds
  4. Turn pallets into planters - wooden pallets can be easily sourced and often are available for free. If you are tempted to try this hack, there are plenty of tutorials online
  5. Add some annuals - if you have gaps in your flowerbed, planting flowers like sweet peas and marigolds can add a pop of colour
