‘Home Bargains smashing it again’ cry shoppers as they snap up £1.99 buy that gives your garden a ‘cute’ transformation
SHOPPERS have been racing to Home Bargains after spotting a herb planter that will gardens a “cute” transformation.
Weather experts have predicted that temperatures could hit 22C across parts of the country over the coming days.
So if you want to give your garden a makeover on a budget for the warmer weather, then you’ve come to the right place.
Especially if you’re a dog owner and want to give a nod to your pet in your outdoor space in time for summer.
Bargain hunters are going barking mad for Home Bargains’ green herb planter that’s available in two styles – French bulldog or sausage dog.
Store bosses say that the typical RRP for the item is £9.99, meaning shoppers are making a saving of £8.
The adorable planters aren’t available on the Home Bargains website, however, so you’ll have to be quick to bag one from your nearest store.
And savvy shopper Lucy did just that, sharing her cheap find with others on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, which boasts 2.6million members.
She gushed: “I don’t normally believe in the RRP price. But I did literally buy this sausage dog planter at our local garden centre for £9.99 the other week for my friends birthday gift.
“Well done Home Bargains, smashing it again.”
“Omg how cute”, piped up a second person.
A third said: “Awww they’re lush, ain’t got them in ours though.”
A fourth wrote: “You’ll find that most garden centres have the same stock as Home Bargains for triple the price.
“I almost bought something myself last week from a garden centre but luckily I refrained myself and got it cheaper.”
“I need these in my life”, cried a fifth.
Meanwhile, a sixth joked: “Another thing to add to the garden.”
Elsewhere, shoppers are going wild for a £15 bear plant stand in the B&M – and it doubles as a garden table.
The B&M team promise that the bargain buy “will make a stunning addition to your garden”.
Other shoppers have even insisted that the stand will look cute indoors.
One person wrote: “That’s so cute for kids room I’d put a little book and night light on.”
Somebody else echoed: “I want this as a bedside table for my grandson’s room, it’s so cute.”
How to find gardening bargains
Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…
You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout.
Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you’ll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.
And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying.
It’s especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you’ll get a nice kickback
