‘I need’ cry shoppers as Dunelm flogs lamp marked down to £10
SAVVY shoppers have gone wild after a household essential was spotted in Dunelm for a fraction of the price.
One eagle-eyed shopper could not believe their luck when they discovered a selection of leaning floor lamps marked down from £40 to £10.
The customer shared the bargain on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
Fans of the deal were quick to chime in and share their excitement.
One user said: “The [lamp] shades would cost more than that normally.”
Another simply said: “I need.”
Meanwhile, a third said that the product would “look lovely” in a living room.
The furniture piece is very on trend and features a matching black lamp shade and base.
A description on the Dunelm website said the piece is “ideal for casting a cosy glow over your favourite armchair”.
However, it appears the item is now completely sold out online, so if you are keen to check out the deal you will have to visit a store.
To be safe, it is always worth ringing up your nearest physical branch to make sure they have what you want in stock and avoid a wasted trip.
You can find where your nearest Dunelm branch is by visiting the brand’s website.
The homeware store has been ramping up sales on certain items in recent weeks.
It recently slashed the price of its children’s outdoor patio to £7.50, having been reduced from £30.
The set is designed for children aged between 3 and 6, and is made from steel and plastic, with folding chairs, a table and umbrella.
Shoppers have also been going wild for the “lovely and elegant” Sherpa Accent Chair.
How to shop for bargains
When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around to make sure you are not being over charged.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
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.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Spending less this summer
Summer can be an expensive time for families so it is important to shop around for deals to help you spend less.
Supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda all have loyalty cards which help you save on your shop.
Meanwhile, every week Aldi releases a list of special buys, which are unique bargain products you find online and in-store.
The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what’s new.
Meanwhile, fellow German discounter Lidl also has its middle aisle deals, which sell discounted non-food items.
The products are updated each week.
