Flash Sales: How to Grab a Bargain
Flash sales have taken the shopping scene by storm, offering customers incredible savings on a wide range of products. But how can you make the most of these blink-and-you-miss-it promotions? In this article, we’ll explore the best ways to grab a bargain and make your money go further.
Daily Deals: Mark Your Calendar
Many retailers offer daily deals on specific days of the week. For example, Boots offers £10 Tuesdays, where best-selling brands are reduced to £10 for 24 hours. Asda, on the other hand, offers “mega event price drops” from Thursdays to Sundays, with up to 50% off. Lidl’s Middle of Lidl and Aldi’s Specialbuys arrive on Thursdays and Sundays, offering great buys while stocks last.

Over-60s can also get extra deals, with Iceland offering 10% off every Tuesday with a free bonus card. The Original Factory Shop also gives over-60s with a TOFS Club card an extra 10% off until 1 pm on the first Wednesday of the month.
Bank Holiday Bargains
With the May bank holiday weekends approaching, get ready for a deluge of flash sales. Most big retailers have yet to announce their offers, but garden deals are a perennial favourite at this time of year. Online stores like Partyrama and Sweet Hamper Company are also offering discounts over the bank holiday weekend.
