Bargain hunters run to Primark eager to check out the cheap travel essentials – & a £3.50 buy makes packing much easier
BARGAIN hunters are racing to get to Primark eager to get their hands on the latest travel essentials.
So if you’ve got a holiday coming up, you’ve come to the right place.
One savvy shopper was left stunned when browsing the aisles of a Primark store in Birmingham, when she spotted a huge range of cheap travel buys.
There’s all things from suitcases to neck pillows – so if you want to nab a bargain, you’ll need to leg it to Primark.
Posting on social media, the Primark fan who posts online under the username ‘Annual Leave Plans’, shared a video showing off the latest travel accessories.
The self-proclaimed ‘out of office babe’ from London said: “If you have a holiday booked, I would suggest that you run down to Primark, because look at their collection of travel stuff.
“Last year there was a wide range of suitcases that Primark had to offer, and this year they’re killing it and they are not disappointing. You can see a wide range of sizes and shapes.”
The travel lover then gave her followers a close-up look at the budget buys – combination padlocks for £1.80, eye masks for £1.30 and passport holders for £2.50.
She added: “One thing I must point out, I love the colour coordination that Primark has – this is something that we did see a lot last year, but they’ve definitely gone out and pulled all the stops.
“They’ve updated some of their travel accessories, such as this travel laundry bag, which I think is a great touch – sometimes it’s great to have that little bag that you can just throw all your dirty clothes in.”
Not only this, but if you’re looking for a cheap buy that’ll make packing much easier, you’ll need to check out the two packs of shoe cubes, which are only £3.50.
The stunned shopper continued: “And then they got shoe cubes, which is new – we didn’t have that before, we had these packing cubes, so they’ve definitely upgraded their range.”
Not only this, but the travel fan also found a three pack of packing cubes for £5 and a memory foam optimum support travel pillow for £10, which left her very impressed.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @annualleaveplans, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 167,700 views.
Social media users were overjoyed with the chain’s cheap buys and many took to the comments to express this.
Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.
