Argos shoppers rush to buy summer essential perfect for picnics and beach holidays scanning at tills for just £1.50
ARGOS shoppers have been rushing to buy a summer essential that’s perfect for picnics and beach holidays.
The retailer is selling a folding picnic chair for just £1.50.
It comes with a tropical fruit pattern and weighs 2.3kg.
Argos was originally selling for it £3 so that’s a 50% discount.
And shoppers have been raving about it in the review section online.
One said: “Just what I wanted! Fits in perfectly.”
While another wrote: “Great little fold up for picnics and surprise guests. Comfy and easy to store.”
Another commented: “Bought & used, all very satisfactory.”
Though a couple of customers did comment that the size wasn’t as big as they’d have liked.
It’s still in stock online though it’s worth checking to see if you can order it for collection or delivery.
Of course, you should always shop around when making a purchase like this as you might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.
You can use price comparison websites like www.pricerunner.com, www.pricespy.co.uk and www.trolley.co.uk.
Plus, you can always do a quick scan with the Google Shopping tab.
We had a look online to see if other retailer’s are selling something similar.
Amazon is selling one for £17.99 so that’s quite a jump from £1.50.
It comes after Argos told The Sun its standalone stores in Grimsby and Scunthorpe are in line for close in August.
Argos stores will be opened inside nearby Sainsbury’s stores in both Lincolnshire towns though.
In other news, a major bakery chain has plunged into administration, closing all but one of its branches.
Meanwhile, a high street supermarket chain is closing stores within weeks.
