SHOPPERS have been going wild for a wallet-friendly Christmas tree spotted at Home Bargains.
With the big day approaching many households will be looking for ways to cut costs.
One eagle-eyed shopper spotted a massive Christmas tree in Home Bargains for £35.
Writing in a social media post they said: “Need to share this absolute bargain of a tree £35 from home bargains. So full no gaps at all.”
Others were quick to chime in and praise the shopper for their find.
“That’s a stunning tree,” wrote one user, while another said they bought the same one and were “so happy” with it.
The festive find comes undecorated but has frosted white branches to give the appearance of snow.
It is artificially made so you can reuse it multiple times.
A third said they bought the larger 7ft version of the tree for £49 and it looks “absolutely stunning”.
Both items are available to buy in Home Bargains and are cheaper than what most competitors are stocking.
For example, Argos is also selling a similar 6ft tree for £55 and Dunelm is also selling a 6ft tree for £50.
However, The Range is selling a snow dip tree for £31.99 marked down £39.99.
If you are keen to pick up one of the Home Bargains trees, it may be worth ringing your local store ahead of time to check stock levels.
This is to avoid disappointment and waste time travelling.
It comes as Home Bargains has a number of Christmas products in store.
Shoppers have also been going wild for festive activity packs for children.
The Grinchmas Activity Pack includes a colouring book, activity book, write-your-own-story book, stickers and mini coloured pencils.
The bundle is on the shelves for £1.99.
Knowing when to pick up products is one way to save money at Home Bargains.
Visiting your local branch at the right time of day, week and year can help you pick up bargains from as little as 69p.
We spoke to Tom Church, a shopping expert who reveals the best times to visit the store to bag a bargain.
Also join any shopper bargain Facebook groups such as Extreme Couponing and Bargains, as people love to share the news when they have bagged a cheap deal.
Be sure to look out for seasonal stock too, like most retailers, Home Bargains shashes its prices after big public holidays such as Christmas and Easter.
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.
