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.
Aldi also has plenty of other pet essentials for sale.
Another bargain hunter couldn't believe her eyes when £6 worth of pooch food was massively dropped in price to just 66p a box.
Sharing the savings on the Cesar dog trays to Facebook, the shopper wrote: "Aldi middle isle - normally £6 per box so when I saw a three box pack labelled for £6.99 I got a couple.
"It's a massive bargain alone but then scanned £1.99 each. So I got six boxes for £3.98."
The boxes are priced at £1.99 - but you get three boxes with 24 sachets in each, working out at 66p per box.
A box normally costs £6 each in supermarkets.
Dog lovers raced to the comments, telling their pals about the massive discount.
