‘Keep an eye out’ warns shopper after bagging garden chair scanning for £22 instead of £215
A SHOPPER has warned people to “keep an eye out” after they bagged a garden chair that was reduced by 90%.
Lucky saver Christina shared her bargain in a post on Facebook after finally receiving delivery of the rocking seat.
The Maya Mango Rocking Chair she purchased had been reduced by a whopping 90%.
Instead of its regular retailing price of £214.99, Christina managed to nab it for just £21.99.
It had been listed on retail site Studio, which is owned by the Frasers Group alongside Sports Direct and House of Fraser.
Christina’s post on Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK read: “Studio bargain.
“Took about a week to arrive.
“I’ve seen it go in and out of stock.. keep an eye out.”
More than 100 users were quick to comment underneath the post, desperate to grab the deal for themselves.
One said: “I want one of these for my bedroom.”
Another added: “I have one so comfy would recommend it.”
Others tagged their friends and family saying “keep an eye out for me please.”
One unlucky shopper, however, had the misfortune of buying the item at a much higher price just weeks before.
They said: “Oh my gutted, I bought this 4 weeks ago at 100 quid.”
Since Christina’s post, however, the item has now disappeared from Studio‘s website, indicating it may now be out of stock.
However, Christina added that while it’s not currently showing, it “keeps coming back and going again” like many other items at the moment.
This means there may be hope it returns at its major discount soon.
Studio is currently running a warehouse closing down sale, where it offers up to 90% off countless products.
It always pays, however, to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
There are countless other garden chairs listed online but many cost much more money.
The cheapest rocking garden chair we could find is currently listed at £45 from IKEA.
However, if you want one that looks most similar to the Studio product, Temu currently has a chair priced at £101.
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.
