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 vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
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.
Do you have a money problem that needs sorting? Get in touch by emailing money-sm@news.co.uk.

Morrisons teetering as UK's fifth-largest supermarket
Beleaguered Morrisons could lose its place as the UK's fifth biggest supermarket when industry figures are published this week. The Bradford-based retailer has already been elbowed out of the top four by discounter Aldi and is now close to being overtaken by cut-price Lidl too. Britain's supermarket sector – where Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons previously formed the big four players – has been transformed by the German-owned brands. The pair have offered an alternative for increasingly cost-conscious consumers worried about rising bills. Industry research group Worldpanel will provide latest figures on the grocery market tomorrow, that could see Lidl clinch the number five spot. Morrisons' boss Rami Baitieh has been attempting to revive the business after its fortunes slumped following its takeover by private equity.

And another said: "Ordered the other day. 24 items for around £20!" A different person said they had bought two power banks reduced from £129 each to £16. The majority of items on the marketplace are under £10 - and with the sale on today, they'll come to even less at checkout. The service is offering free delivery on orders over £15 and you can get an extra 5% off if you spend £30.

The launch comes as Amazon battles the rapid growth of Chinese-linked rivals such as Temu and Shein which have seen sales soar in recent years. Shein has rapidly become one of the biggest online marketplaces but has come under intense scrutiny over welfare standards.
