Dunelm shoppers are filling baskets with soft furnishings with ‘massive discounts’ scanning at £17 instead of £185
DUNELM fans are rushing out to fill their baskets with soft furnishings which are being massively discounted from £185 to just £17.
A savvy shopper spotted the seemingly huge saving at the homeware store’s Aberdeen branch.
They shared their bargain find with the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK writing: “Massive curtain discounts at Dunelm Aberdeen store.”
She also attached a picture of her find which showed one set of curtains had been reduced from £180 to just £17 while another set now had a price tag of just £12 after the original price had been £130.
Other members of the group were suitably impressed.
One person wrote: “They are on hanger that usually mean they are expensive fabric and heavier compared to others. You have to have heavy duty curtain pole not a cheap one to put them on.
“I worked in Dunelm years ago so £17 for this is a huge sale.”
Another said: “The original RRP!!”
While a third added: “Who can hang my curtains?”
Of course, do bear in mind that the item is likely reduced by this much because it’s the end of the line and branches are clearing stock.
Argos is currently selling plain blackout curtains from as little as £20, or ones which are fully-lined from £40.
While The Mill Shop, which is also having a sale, has “Margo thermal lined velour eyelet curtains” for £9, down from the usual price of £36.
Prices of Marks & Spencer ready-made curtains appear to start at £30.
One of Ikea‘s best-selling curtains, the Bengta, currently costs just £12.
It comes after shoppers spotted Farmfoods had slashed the price of a Lay-Z-Spa hot tub from £450 to £199.99.
Meanwhile, Primark shoppers have been rushing to pick up a “perfect” addition for their bedrooms – and it’s scanning at just a tenner.
Plus, Dunelm has slashed the price of “gorgeous” home furniture by a whopping £70.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
