Home Bargains shoppers rush to buy ‘stunning’ viral designer homeware dupe scanning at £8 instead of £68
HOME Bargains shoppers have been flocking to buy a viral homeware essential scanning at just £8 instead of £68.
The discount chain is selling a dupe of a popular designer lamp for a whopping £60 less.
A keen shopper spied the item in their local store and was thrilled at the price.
Posting the find to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group Facebook page they said: “Managed to get my hands on this little beauty today.”
They shared a photo of their newly purchased cordless lamp in their home.
Fellow bargain hunters were quick to comment on the post and make plans to head to their nearest Home Bargains store to bag one.
One said: “My daughter has one in her bedroom, it gives off a lovely light.”
Another wrote: “I been trying to find some…they are lovely.”
A third commented: “Lush isn’t it. I got one in the week.”
While a fourth posted: “I have this lamp absolutely love it.”
And a fifth said: “Need these they are stunning.”
The lamp has been widely branded a dupe for the Maeve LED Lamp by Bodhi which comes with a whopping £68 price tag – plus is sold out at the moment.
Home Bargains’ lamp in comparison is just £7.99 and looks near identical.
When Home Bargains showed off the viral LED lamp on Instagram recently, it said: “IT’S BACK! Our viral LED lamp is in stores now!”
The post received a whopping 10.8k likes and 267 comments.
It sells out pretty quick so you might want to snap it up.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to buy it online as it’s only available in stores.
However do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest Tesco store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
There are dozens of similar-looking lamps listed online but for quite a bit more money.
Dunelm is selling one for £25, as is Robert Dyas.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
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.
