WHETHER it’s time for a refresh of your home or your child is setting off to University, there’s nothing quite like finding a bargain.
And with bedding being so varied in cost, it feels especially rewarding when you come across a stylish find at an affordable price.
Half Price Bedding
Which is why shoppers are racing to their local Tesco store.
A savvy shopper posted an image on Facebook’s Extreme Couponing And Bargains UK group.
The image showed Slumberdown duvets slashed in price at Tesco’s.
For Tesco Club card members only – single duvets are reduced from £20 to only £8.
Double sized duvets are also reduced from £24 to a better than half price saving of £9.50.
The duvets are all 10.5 tog and designed for all year use – and should be perfect for those heading off to dorms.
One shopper wrote in the comments: “I need one.”
Another asked a friend if their child needed one for University.
While a third said: “Was in my Tesco but they only had King size left.”
Huge Change in Sainsburys
Sainsbury’s has hiked the cost of its dine-in meal deal by a quarter – enraging fans of the chain’s fine dining experience at home.
The deal for two people includes four items – a Taste The Difference main, side, dessert and drink – for the new price of £15 with a Nectar card, up from £12 just a few weeks ago.
The move follows similar price hikes on rival supermarkets’ dine-in deals, with Tesco, M&S and Waitrose also hiking the cost to £15 in recent months.
But shoppers have protested, with one saying a 25% hike does not mirror inflation.
One customer wrote on X.com: “Why are you copying @waitrose and putting up your main meal deal from £12 to £15 without any notice – that’s a 25% increase!!!…
“Another supermarket losing my custom.”
Poundland changing clothing line
Poundland is planning to make a big change to its clothing ranges as it carries out a huge shake-up in stores.
The discount retailer will start developing its clothing range in-house again – meaning there will be a bigger womenswear selection and more seasonal clothing.
Major changes are being brought in at Poundland after it was bought for a nominal £1 fee in June by US investment firm Gordon Brothers.
The firm has since announced huge restructuring plans that will see 68 stores close.
A spokesperson told Drapers the business previously operated a “successful clothing business” managed by an internal team before it started sourcing through its previous owner Pepco.
“We intend to revert to that model after restructuring, with clothing ranges developed in-house for the UK and Ireland markets,” they said.
