How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain:
Sign up for loyalty schemes for 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 and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. 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.
If you're planning on including it in a hamper for Christmas 2025 though, it's worth checking the date.
As it's old stock it may have a best before date prior to December 25.
The best before date is related to quality and there is no harm in eating items that have gone past "best" if they have been stored correctly though.
