Sainsbury’s shoppers race to buy show-stopping £25 plants that are scanning at just 1p at the till
SAINSBURY’S shoppers are eagerly racing to their nearest store, desperately hoping to nab the show-stopping £25 plants that are now scanning at just 1p at the till.
So if you are green-fingered, or like to fill your home with gorgeous greenery, you’ll want to listen up.
One savvy shopper, Angela AP, was left open-mouthed when shopping in her local Sainsbury’s, when she spotted the cut-price buy.
The bargain hunter mum proudly took to Facebook to show off the bargain buys, leaving many stunned.
In the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, which has 2.2million members, Angela shared a picture of her cheap finds.
She said: “Habitat Hydrangea Jug gift reduced from £25 (!!) to 1p each.”
Angela explained that the plants were looking slightly tired, and so she has planted them in her garden to bring them back to life.
She added: “Hydrangeas looking a bit sorry for themselves but they are resilient so have been planted in the garden, in lovely glazed jugs.”
Angela shared two pictures in her social media post – one image showing off her two new plants – two hydrangea plants placed in two beautiful jugs.
The other image was Angela’s receipt – confirming that she bought the hydrangea jugs for just 1p each from a Sainsbury’s store in Holborn, London.
Saving herself a whopping £24.99 on each plant, it’s no surprise that Angela was pleased with her 2p haul.
In total, the savvy shopper managed to save a total of £49.98 on the plants.
Angela’s post has clearly impressed many, as it was shared just 14 hours ago, but has already amassed 137 likes and 14 comments.
Lots of shoppers were desperate to get their hands on these bargain buys, as many took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “Omg I wanted this when it was £25, I’d never be lucky enough to find that in my local, well done.”
To this, a friend replied: “If I see one in my local tomorrow, I will post it to you.”
Another added: “Wow fantastic.”
Whilst a third simply commented: “Omg.”
Meanwhile, someone else claimed: “None of these deals ever occur in London.
“The plants were dead, but they wouldn’t reduce them.”
