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
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone.
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.
"They're in mine, and mine's tiny!" another replied.
"These are all £5 each at Farmfoods," someone else said, sharing a picture of the three sets they'd found - the Jade rabbit, a pinata and a BrickHeadz Avatar one.
While another commented: "I got the Disney set for £19.99 the other day - plus Avatar for £4.99.
"This was Barnsley."

Jeff Bezos' $500m luxury superyacht heads to Venice for world's most lavish wedding as he ties knot with Lauren Sanchez
BILLIONAIRE Jeff Bezos is set to tie the knot with fiancée Lauren Sanchez - kicking off lavish celebrations aboard his $500 million superyacht. The couple will be joined by their celebrity friends ahead of their wedding aboard the yacht in Venice's waters this Friday. 4 The wedding is set to take place aboard Bezos' $500million superyacht, Koru, in Venice, Italy 4 Around 200 guests are expected to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez' lavish wedding 4 Koru took five years to build The week-long pre-wedding festivities are estimated to cost roughly $15 to $20 million (£12 to £16 million). Around 200 guests are expected to attend the wedding of the 61-year-old Amazon founder and 55-year-old journalist fiancée. Ahead of the wedding in Venice, local activists displayed large protest banners, reading 'No Space for Bezos' and 'If You Can Rent Venice for Your Wedding You Can Pay More Tax'. They have also staged canal-blocking and waterside protests in a bid to stop the world's richest man from tying the knot in their city. Read more world news Organiser Federica Toninello told The New York Times that protesters have obtained leaked details of the couple's schedule and plan to disrupt events - including one reportedly set for the historic Misericordia. Toninello told a crowd of 300 people: "Bezos will never get to the Misericordia", adding, "We will line the streets with our bodies, block the canals with lifesavers, dinghies and our boats." Protesters say tourism in Venice has driven housing costs sky-high, forcing many locals out of the region. But the couple's wedding organisers, Lanza & Baucina Limited, earlier hit back at suggestions that the couple's lavish wedding plans are not respectful of locals. Most read in The US Sun The organisers said in a statement to Page Six: "From the outset, instructions from our client and our own guiding principles were abundantly clear: the minimising of any disruption to the city, the respect for its residents and institutions and the overwhelming employment of locals in the crafting of the events." The wedding planning company has worked with stars like George and Amal Clooney, as well as Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault. $500m superyacht, $32k-night-hotels & a $2m ring… inside the Bezos wedding of the century in world's most beautiful city Bezos proposed to Sánchez in 2023 aboard the yacht, presenting her with a 20-carat pink diamond ring worth $2.5 million. The luxury vessel, Koru - named after the Māori word for 'loop' or 'coil' - symbolises new beginnings. Measuring 417 feet in length with three towering masts over 230 feet high, Koru is currently the world's largest sailing yacht, according to Boat International. The superyacht can reach speeds of up to 17 knots per hour, powered by twin, 1,500hp MTU diesel engines. It cruises comfortably at 15 knots - about 2.25 knots faster than the average for similar vessels. Said to have been first commissioned by Bezos in 2018, the yacht was built by Dutch yacht maker Oceanco near Rotterdam and delivered to Gibraltar in April 2023. The superyacht's support vessel reportedly added another $75 million to the already staggering $500 million cost. Its exterior design was completed by Dutch company Dykstra Naval Architects, while London-based company Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi completed its interior design. Koru can host up to 18 guests in nine staterooms, along with around 36 crew members. Its full features remain unclear, but Architectural Digest reports that Koru includes multiple outdoor lounging areas, three jacuzzis and a swimming pool . 4 Koru is the world's tallest ship
