Shoppers rush to buy personalised Christmas stockings from department store scanning for 50p instead of £30
CHRISTMAS has come early for shoppers at this department store after they discovered a £30 festive essential is scanning for just 50p.
Savvy customers have been rushing to House of Fraser‘s website to bag up the Xmas item which has been described as “brilliant”.
The department store giant has sent fans wild by selling a personalised “Mrs Gonk Stocking” for under a pound which is 98 per cent cheaper than the original price.
It was originally priced at a whopping £29.99 – saving buyers an unbelievable £29.49.
One customer shared the find on Facebook and posted a screenshot of the item, captioning: “House of Fraser UK… 50p!”
Excited users left comments under the post and tagged their friends.
One user said: “They have the Mr Gonk aswell for 50p!”
Another commented: “I ordered 4 of these last week, they’re brilliant for the price.”
And: “Yeah I got it, it’s lovely!”
However do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
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.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
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.
Christmas fanatics have also spotted a festive essential on offer at Home Bargains.
Shoppers are racing to their nearest store to buy £4 Polar Express slippers in time for the big day.
Last month House of Fraser shoppers were hit by delivery chaos with hundreds waiting weeks for parcels that remain undelivered.
Frustrated shoppers have struggled to reach customer service to request refunds, leaving those affected out of pocket.
The issues have plagued those who placed online orders on the retailer’s website since late August.
Angry customers have taken to social media to vent their fury, branding the company’s response as “appalling.”
