‘They seem great quality’ mums cry as they rush to Deichmann to nab memory foam school shoes that are scanning for £5
BARGAIN hunter mums are legging it to get to their nearest Deichmann store, eager to get their hands on a pair of school shoes that have been slashed.
So if your little one is heading back to school soon, and is in need of a new pair of shoes, then you’ve come to the right place.
And particularly if you’re on a budget and don’t have loads of spare cash to splash, you’ll be thrilled to see that these cheap shoes have been slashed down to just £5 – yes, you heard that correctly.
One excited mother was left thrilled with her find and took to social media to alert others, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, Amanda Mason shared a snap of the cheap shoes.
Alongside the post, she wrote: “My bargain of the day at Deichmann. £5!!
“Reduced from £20.”
Amanda praised the quality of the shoes and confirmed that she couldn’t resist buying two pairs.
She continued: “They seem great quality and are memory foam.
“I bought a size up as well for when he grows out of that pair.”
Amanda was lucky enough to get her hands on the Memphis One Junior boys black school shoes.
Originally priced at £19.99, it’s no surprise that she was thrilled to spot the velcro strap footwear for just £4.99, saving an impressive £15.
But if you want to get your hands on these bargain school shoes, you’ll need to run down to your local Deichmann store, and fast.
These reduced shoes are now out of stock online, and with a whopping 75% off the original price, are sure to sell out in stores fast too.
EXTRA HELP WITH SCHOOL UNIFORM COSTS
IF you can't get targeted help from your council, you might have some other options available to you.
In some areas, you can talk directly to your school, which might be able to offer you clothing.
Or, you might be able to get cheap garments from low-budget shops or charity stores.
Some charities offer help to families in need too.
But bear in mind charities often have a limited amount of money to give and usually have specific criteria which must be met in order to get a grant.
Charity Turn2Us has a free grants search tool on its website which you can use to find out what help is available to you.
Meanwhile, you can always try approaching your nearest Citizens’ Advice branch.
If you don’t know where your nearest Citizens’ Advice branch is, you can find out by visiting www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/nearby/.
If you’re not eligible for a school uniform grant you might be able to get help through the Household Support Fund.
Facebook users were very impressed with Amanda’s bargain buy and were keen to express this in the comments.
Not only were shoppers impressed with the discount, but they were keen to nab them too.
