Fashionistas go wild as supermarket slashes prices of clothes that are now ‘cheap as chips’ – but there’s a catch
ARE you on the lookout for new wardrobe essentials – but don’t want to fork out a fortune?
Best plan a trip to the local high street where a major supermarket has slashed the prices of several items – and you can now pick up a pair of bottoms for under a fiver.
Informing others about the epic deals, one shopper, Gail Gyi, took to the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to show off the goodies she’d stumbled across.
According to the delighted fashionista, from Glasgow, Scotland, the mega retailer Marks & Spencer is flogging numerous bargains on the cheap.
Urging fellow style lovers to not miss out on the fabulous sale, the Scottish lass said: ”If you want to find a bargain this week head straight to M&S, everything now cheap as chips.”
Amongst the gorgeous finds she found whilst strolling around the store included a stunning dress covered in light gold sequins – and although the Christmas season is long gone, this little number is a must.
The strappy dress, which seems to sit right on your knees, is currently on offer for just £10.99.
Speaking of sequins and sparkles, Marks&Spencer has also slashed the price of shiny black skirt by almost ten times.
The wardrobe essential, which comes in a regular fit, was originally going for a whopping £39.50 – but thrifty fashionistas can now snap them up for a mere £3.50.
It wouldn’t be winter without the annual return of faux leather bottoms – and if you still haven’t found that one perfect pair, it’s worth checking out the major retailer.
According to Gail’s post, cash-savvy fans of M&S can bag slim fit leggings for just £6.99 – which is over three times cheaper than the original price, £25.
However, if you want to add these fabulous items to your wardrobe, you’re going to have to be quick – as Gail warned the epic sale might be ending soon.
”I think this is the last week of their sale,” she told the 2.6millions members of the page.
”Not many shoes & boots in either Braehead or Silverburn, Glasgow.”
But there’s also another catch – not only do shoppers have very little time left, but these reduced clothing items can also not be returned unless they’re faulty, customers warned.
”Remember to try things on as if it has a yellow sticker they cannot be returned,” Gail added in the post, as one shopper chimed in and said the item had to have defects for you to get your money back.
The post has clearly impressed many fashionistas, as it’s racked up over 100 likes in just ten hours, with dozens flooding to comments.
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
Many tagged their friends to let them know about the bargains and others shared their top finds from the sale.
”I got a Wicked Oodie for £3.99 the other day!” wrote one happy customer.
Another said: ”Oooo I wanted that dress before Xmas- thanks for posting this I’m going to pop into silver burn tomorrow.”
A third chimed in: ”The flapper dress is an absolute bargain I paid £40 for it and it looks stunning on!”
”I got the faux leather trousers a leopard print shirt 2 prs of kids pj’s and 2 prs of trousers for my grandaughter for £22,” a social media user wrote.
