Asda shoppers rushing to buy Stacey Solomon Christmas decorations scanning for £1.50 instead of £18
ASDA shoppers can’t get enough of Stacey Solomon Christmas decorations scanning for £1.50 instead of £18.
One customer recently posted their finds on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
The savvy saver revealed how she paid just £1.50 for the festive Christmas wreath and ceramic house.
Both items are selling for £18 and £8 on Asda‘s website, respectively.
In the Facebook post, the shopper said she found the bargain-priced goodies at the Asda store in Barnstaple, Devon.
Plenty of others have commented saying they’ve snapped up the same items in their local branches for £1.50 too.
One said: “I got the wreath for £1.50 as well (at) Asda Newton Abbot.”
Another chipped in: “I got the wreaths too…for £1.50!”
A third commented: “I got both houses for £1.50 this morning too.”
Bear in mind, Asda might not have reduced the Christmas wreath and ceramic house to £1.50 in all its branches.
Retailers are allowed to price products differently across their store estates.
If you’re keen to snap either of the items up and don’t want to waste a journey, it could be worth calling ahead to see if your local branch has any in stock.
In any case, make sure you compare prices on websites like Trolley and Price Spy before buying anything though as you might find the same, or similar, item cheaper elsewhere.
CHRISTMAS AT ASDA
Asda is one of a number of supermarkets offering cheap veg ahead of Christmas.
The retailer has dropped prices on sprouts, carrots and more to just 8p.
This is the full list of the chain’s reduced festive prices:
- Sprouts: 8p (500g)
- Carrots: 8p (1kg)
- Parsnips: 8p (500g)
- Broccoli: 8p (360g)
- Potatoes: 8p (2kg)
Only one other supermarket is currently offering veg for the same 8p price – Aldi.
Asda recently slashed the price of Toblerones to just £3 as well, cheaper than rival supermarkets.
The large milk chocolate bar (360g) usually sells for £6 so shoppers are saving a hefty £3.
The same bar also retails for £6 in Sainsbury’s and £4.50 in Poundland.
Tesco is the next cheapest place to buy it at £4, but at £3, Asda beats all other retailers.
You’ll have to be quick though as the offer is only running until just after Christmas.
Meanwhile, in October Asda unveiled its Christmas dinner range including a curry-inspired dish.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
