Fashion fans rejoice as ASOS’ sample sale returns with bargains from £3 & there’s a trick to get ‘first dibs’ on goodies
IT was a massive hit last year, with people desperate to get their hands on £3 bargains.
So it’s no wonder that the news that the ASOS sample sale is back for another run has been welcomed by fashion fans.
Sandra took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share the exciting announcement, as she wrote: “ASOS Sample sale is back!
“Lots of clothes starting at £3!”
And people took to the comments section to admit they were chomping at the bit to get their hands on a bargain.
One person even revealed a clever trick you can use to get “first dibs” on the reduced items.
“Got loads of bits this morning,” she wrote.
“If you sign up for emails you get first dibs!
“Got 4 pairs of Topshop jeans for £3 each and a load of other bits.
“I always get my clothes through this – it’s an unbelievable bargain!”
Items currently available on the website include a pair of Jeffrey Campbell bow sandals for just £15, and a stunning bridesmaid dress for £3, in size from a 6 to a 12.
While another chuffed bargain hunter took to the Facebook group to share their own must buy item – a £100 leather jacket she got for £5.
“Thanks Asos sample sale! £100 leather jacket for a fiver!” Kelly wrote.
“I won’t lie, I’m quite annoyed I didn’t manage to get the tall version before it sold out but this one will do for £5!
“Very happy!”
“Great bargain,” one person commented on the post.
“Got the same jacket for my 13 year old today, she was very happy,” another added.
“I ordered this too, unfortunately they only had a size 6 and it’s slightly too small,” a third wrote.
Other ways to save money at ASOS
HERE are some of the best ways you can save and get the best prices at ASOS and other outlet stores.
Save money with ASOS Flash Sales and promo codes
Flash Sales are mini-sales that last anywhere between a couple of hours to a few days – such as the ‘Sample Sale’.
When one occurs, an ASOS promo code will often be advertised that can be used on a particular product or range.
Flash Sales also happen around bank holidays and other ‘special’ days like Valentine’s Day, Halloween and April Fools’ Day.
Get an ASOS birthday discount code
When signing up to ASOS, or any retailer for that matter, make sure to put in all your personal details, including your birthday, for special rewards.
If a retailer knows your birthday, they’ll send you a code two weeks before for you to use on full-price items.
Sign up to the ASOS newsletter
Again, this doesn’t just apply for ASOS, but signing up to newsletters keeps you in the loop with all the latest deals and discounts as soon as they’re announced.
By signing up, you’re usually rewarded with a new customer promo code for money off your first purchase.
Buy from the multipack section
Multipack sections often go unnoticed but they’re a lifesaver for saving money on wardrobe essentials.
For example, a plain white ASOS DESIGN women’s t-shirt costs £8* when bought by itself, but a pack of two t-shirts comes in at £15* and a pack of three comes in at £22*.
Get cheaper delivery
While it’s understandable you wan’t your new product as soon as possible, try and pay for the least expensive delivery option – even if it means waiting an extra day or two for it to arrive.
ASOS offers free Standard Delivery (usually £4.50) on all purchases over £40, too.
Find deals in the sales
If you’re looking for ASOS discounts, make sure you check the outlet.
The ASOS Outlet is great for finding cheap out-of-season stock, just as you’d expect at a regular outlet shop. You can find items with huge discounts of up to 70%.
“Absolute bargain for £5 though!!”
While others explained they were really impressed by the ASOS sample sale site.
“Got my delivery today and really pleased,” one wrote.
“I ordered some of the prom/bridesmaid dresses in larger sizes to donate to the prom loan service at the local school.
“It’s always harder for the plus size girls so I got them 4 for £20 – brilliant bargain … oh and a few bits for myself lol!”
“Such a good site! I managed to get a pair of new balance trainers for £20,” another added.
“I got a Columbia coat for £20 was meant to be £200,” a third wrote.
