Morrisons shoppers rush to buy ‘bargain of the week’ garden furniture scanning at tills for £4.50 instead of £45
MORRISONS shoppers have been rushing to buy bargain garden furniture scanning at just £4.50 instead of £45.
The supermarket has slashed the price of a three-piece bistro set by a whopping £40.50.
A keen shopper spied the item in their local store and was thrilled at the price.
Posting the find to the Yellow sticker shopping tips, tricks and hauls Facebook page they said: “Bargain of the week! £4.50! Morrisons Yeovil.”
They shared a photo of their newly purchased garden set in its box.
Fellow bargain hunters were quick to comment on the post and make plans to head to their nearest Morrisons store to bag one.
One said: “Bl***y hell, I was in Yeovil today! Great buy!”
Another wrote: “That’s the best bargain I have seen !!”
A third commented: “Ohh boy. What a lucky find. I’m a bit envious, but happy you got a great deal.”
A fourth posted: “Well done you, amazing bargain.”
While a fifth said: “No way! Well done, great find!”
“That’s what you call a bargain,” another wrote.
The set includes a table and two chairs, made from “rust-proof” aluminium.
It was originally priced at £45, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to buy it online as it’s only available in stores.
However do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest Morrisons store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
There are dozens of similar-looking garden sets listed online but for quite a bit more money.
We spotted B&Q selling an Outdoor Garden Furniture Littlerock Glass Top Bistro Set for £69.99.
We also saw a Studio Bistro Set at Sports Direct for £39.99.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
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.
When to shop for yellow sticker bargains
Morrisons said that there is no specific time when it applies yellow sticker price cuts, which means that discounts may be available throughout the day.
Keep an eye out for yellow stickers when doing your weekly shop and register for a Morrisons More Card to save money on certain items on specific days of the week.
For example, shoppers can get 20% off the fish counter every Friday and 20% off a selection of prepared sirloin and fillet steak every Saturday when they scan their More Card or app.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
