Earlier this week, independent analyst Richard Hyman told that many have extended their sales for the bank holiday weekend, in a bid to boost poor sales.

Some of the discounts aren't as good as we saw during the mid-season sales in March, where some retailers slashed prices by up to 80 per cent.

But there are plenty of items up for grabs, as shops try to get rid of leftover stock.

We've taken a look art some of the best bargains available this weekend at a range of high street shops.

Marks and Spencer up to 30 per cent off homeware

The high street shop has up to 30 per cent off a range of homeware, including beddings, towels, cushions and throws.

HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE GETTING A GOOD DEAL

“THESE sales are just a marketing ploy from retailers to get us to part with our hard-earned cash, so don’t buy something just because it appears to offer a good saving”, warns Gary Caffell, Deals Editor at MoneySavingExpert.com.

  • Always do your own research and price comparisons as you may find a sale item cheaper elsewhere
  • Don’t forget to look out for online codes or cashback to boost your savings further.
  • Also think about delivery costs as you should factor delivery into the overall cost.
  • Where possible, try to buy online where you have more return rights
  • It’s also worth considering places with good customer service ratings should you have any issues
