PRICE TAG

Home Bargains price tags explain how long items will be in stores for

BARGAIN hunting can be tricky if you don't know how long the items will be available for, but there's a way to find this out in Home Bargains.

The bargain shop uses different codes on price tags to indicate whether a product will be back in stock or if it’s a one-time only offer.

On its price tags, the word "REG" on the bottom left corner indicates the item is a regular product that will be restocked once it has sold out.

Meanwhile, the code "ONE" means that it's a one-time only offer.

This means the item will only be in store for a limited time and will not be restocked once sold out.

So if you spot any of these in stores, it's best to buy the product then and there - or it could be gone the next time you pop by the retailer.

Sadly, Home Bargains hasn't said how long products with "ONE" tags usually are available for.

A similar strategy is used in Asda, according to money blogger Ricky Willis, also known as Skint Dad.
