Home Bargain shoppers rush to buy ‘lovely little plants’ scanning for £10 – they grow quickly & are cheaper than Wilko
THE Range shoppers can’t get enough of animal-themed plants scanning for just £10.
The retailer, which runs 210 branches across the UK, has had bargain hunters flocking to buy its flamingo trees.
One shopper recently posted a snap of the flora on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group after they bought some from their local branch.
They captioned the post: “Following the ‘Flamingo tree’ trend. None at my local B&M and Asda…but The Range have these marked as £14.99 each (but I) paid £9.99 each at the till.
“A very happy flamingo lover here.”
Hundreds of keen shoppers have liked and commented on the post keen to snap one of the pink plants up, which are known for growing fast.
One said: “How cute!”
Another added: “I want one of these!”
And a third chimed in: “Ooohhh that’s me off to The Range.”
Anyone keen to snap up one of the flamingo plants will have to see if their local The Range branch has any as they are not available on the retailer’s website.
It might be worth calling ahead to see if they have any in stock.
Remember you can find your nearest The Range store by using the store locator tool on its website.
Of course, whenever buying something like this remember to shop around to see if you are getting the best deal.
You can use websites like Price Spy that let you compare prices on thousands of products.
A quick scan using the Google Shopping/Product tab will bring up how much retailers are selling a particular item for as well.
Factor in extra costs like delivery fees which might make a product more expensive than another overall too.
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.
We had a quick online to see if any other stores are selling flamingo plants for less than £10 each, but couldn’t find any.
The next cheapest option is Wilko which is selling a similar size plant for £16, down from £17.50.
After that, B&Q is selling them for £18.
It comes after The Range made a major change across all of its 210 stores.
Earlier this month, the chain unveiled a new and improved click and collect service.
The free of charge service has been streamlined so customers can now order items and collect them from an hour onwards.
Products are now also held in-branch for up to five days, so customers can visit and collect any bits at a suitable time.
