True Shopping Discount Codes

Every spring, a quiet transformation rumbles through the UK’s cul-de-sacs and garden-heavy suburbs. Dusty power tools re-emerge from sheds, well-intentioned DIY projects are resuscitated, and the nation rediscovers its yearly fascination with making the great outdoors slightly more comfortable. Garden chairs are repainted. Strimmers are wielded, often for too long. Decking is reconsidered. This is the seasonal rhythm Trueshopping leans into - offering exactly the type of mildly aspirational tools and patio gear we convince ourselves we need, ideally just before a short-lived heatwave cements the purchase as a sound life decision.

The Setup

Trueshopping - despite sounding faintly fictional - is a real webstore. It sells functional, often surprisingly affordable equipment for the home and garden, with a refreshingly restrained sales pitch and the kind of low-CGI website graphics that confirm it's not owned by a Silicon Valley hedge fund (yet). Instead, you’ll find petrol garden multitools, rattan egg chairs, fire pits pretending to be ice coolers, and perfectly serviceable sheds - all aimed at homeowners who are pragmatic enough to know they won’t actually use their pizza oven weekly, but would still like that option available.

Product quality ranges from "decent" to "bizarrely good for the price," particularly during active sales. At time of writing, a Sölback 3-Piece Bistro Set is £77.92 - down from a mildly preposterous £259. It's an aggressively angular little thing that looks like it came flat-packed straight out of a 1960s Scandinavian architectural fantasy. It doesn’t pretend to be luxurious. But for under £80, it doesn’t need to.

Deals With Their Feet on the Ground

Let’s talk brass tacks. Trueshopping’s sales - notably on garden furniture - are frequent and fairly significant. Discounts regularly lacerate the RRP, often by 40–70%. For example, the Contemporary Cylinder Wall Light is down to £8.00 from £14.99, and while no one needs to be incandescent about that, it’s a fine deal if you’re fitting out a garden on a civil servant’s salary. Similarly, the elaborate 4-in-1 Fire Pit / Table / BBQ / Ice Cooler contraption - which brings Big Camping Energy to your patio - is currently half-price at £88.92. That’s less than a family trip to a mid-range local pub on a Sunday, or roughly six flat whites in central London.

Shipping is fairly straightforward. Many smaller items offer standard delivery around £5.99, while larger equipment (like sheds and bulkier furniture) may nudge closer to £20 depending on weight and delivery location. Trueshopping’s returns and refund policy is solidly middle-of-the-road: 14 days from receipt, assuming your product is unused and in resalable condition. It’s not Amazon-tier frictionless, but there’s a logical human on the other side of the email chain.

Furniture With Modest Ambition

A large part of the catalogue is devoted to seating - or rather, the illusion of a deeply relaxed lifestyle purchased via seating. The Rattan Garden Bistro Egg Set (from £187.91) is one such aspirational object. Is it comfortable? Within reason. Is it easy to assemble? Probably not without silent frustration and one realisation you’ve put the same leg on twice. But it’ll survive a season of sun and occasional drizzle, and you won't cry if next year’s decking extension renders it visually incompatible.

Trueshopping knows its customer: someone looking for cost-effective comfort with zero belief they’re hosting a photoshoot for Elle Decoration. It's a store for people who ask - sensibly - whether a £91 garden furniture set might sit level on their mildly uneven patio, not whether it pairs with artisanal slate placemats sourced from the Basque country.

Power (Tools) to the People

Then there’s the Garden Tools section, which leans heavily into petrol-fuelled multitools - the kind of machinery that either trims hedges or removes whole fence panels if wielded incorrectly. The Petrol 5-in-1 Garden Multi-Tool, praised by a reviewer named John P. for being "easy to start" (a phrase that could double as dating advice), remains a highlight at around £140. It includes a pole pruner, brush cutter, hedge trimmer, strimmer, and extension shaft. Not the sort of thing you impulse-buy - but if you know what it is, you might find the price remarkably good.

While these tools are hardly for professional arborists, they’re perfectly viable for the average garden job - provided you’re comfortable with two-stroke engines and don’t mind smelling like a chainsaw for most of Sunday afternoon.

Why It Works (Despite Itself)

Trueshopping is quietly useful. It doesn’t try to be anyone’s lifestyle brand. There are no smiling families in linen on the homepage, no ethical sourcing manifestos that read like short novels. In exchange, it offers furniture that’s often better designed than expected, tools that are solidly made, and prices that usually undercut high-street competition - even before you add in one of their regular voucher codes. Many products fall under the "good enough" category, and that’s not a backhanded compliment - especially when trying to shape a garden on a limited budget.

In short: while nobody dreams of a firepit that doubles as an ice bucket, it’s oddly reassuring to know one is available. Just in case.
