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.
How else can I save money at Boots?
The clearance section – both online and in-store – is a good place to find bargains at Boots.
Not all stores have a clearance section though so it’s worth calling your local to double-check.
You can also save some extra cash by shopping in-store or online on a Tuesday where you’ll be able to get up to 80% off.
Plus, Boots regularly runs offers on its electrical goods which are worth snapping up.
It can see you get up to 70% off Oral B toothbrushes, 50% on hair dryers and often Fit Bits at a discount.
On top of that, there’s certain items you’ll want to keep an eye out for where you’ll get the best value for money, including perfume and hair care products.
