How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
It’s available in stores from Sunday.
And for those seeking extra warmth this time of year B&M is selling a neckband warmer too – so you never need to feel the cold, even on the go.
At just £15 it’s another mega saving you don’t want to miss.
Saving for Christmas can be a huge task, with the festive season costing Brits more and more every year.
In fact, research by comparison sit MoneySuperMarket found that the average cost of Christmas rose to £1,811.70 per household last year.
But there are ways you can save throughout the year to cut the cost of the holiday, from savings challenges to buying items at a discount.
Here, The Sun’s money team have shared all the ways they’re cutting costs this Christmas and their top money saving tips.
Lana Clements, Sun Savers editor said Being super organised with Christmas and having an idea of expenses helps spread the cost and takes some of the pressure off the big day.
She added: “I will be doing stockings for my two children as usual this year and have already started collecting things that can be used as fillers – I simply buy as and when I see suitable bargains.
“I am also looking at buying a toy advent calendar and taking out the gifts to use as fillers which is a great way to make some savings.
“Hampers are a great gift for hard-to-buy family members. And making your own is far cheaper than ready made.
I take advantage of deals and offers in the supermarkets now to stockpile items and tailor to the tastes of the chosen recipient.”
