How this guide works
The products in this guide were chosen for it. Their prices come from the shops' own feeds and are refreshed every morning. A product drops out of the guide if it goes over £5, goes out of stock or leaves the shop's feed. Every "Get deal" link and Amazon link is an affiliate link, which doesn't change what you pay.
