Tesco shoppers flock to buy stylish essential to light up your home scanning at £4.50 instead of £45 at tills
TESCO shoppers have been flocking to buy a stylish homeware essential scanning at just £4.50 instead of £45.
The supermarket has slashed the price of a light-up ornamental tree by a whopping £40.50.
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: “After months of following and not getting bargains. I finally hit the Jackpot. Thanks Tesco.
“Bargain Firework tree for £4.50 instead of £45.”
They shared a photo of their newly purchased ornamental tree.
Fellow bargain hunters were quick to comment on the post and make plans to head to their nearest Tesco store to bag one.
One said: “I love that. I need one.”
Another wrote: “Ooooh mutter grumble etc. Ours has put all their prices back up. Well done you.”
A third commented: “Omg I LOVE it I want it I need it. I already have 3 twig trees.
“Just showed my partner he said no more trees if I do he’s moving out, best go Tesco then.”
While a fourth posted: “Omg I would love this! Just what I am looking for.”
“Well done right place right time,” another said.
Others described the tree as “lovely”, “gorgeous” and “beautiful”.
The treet is 6ft tall and is pre-lit, it works when plugged into the mains.
It was originally priced at £45, but 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 garden sets listed online but for quite a bit more money.
Amazon is selling a very similar style tree for £45.
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.
