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.

Award-winning family-run fish and chip shop suddenly closes two branches over ‘rising costs'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FANS have been left devastated after a famous fish and chip shop has shut two of its premises' doors after 60 years. The adored family-run chippy Gormans shuttered its locations on Redburn Road in Westerhope and Denton Road in Newcastle due to "rising costs". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Newcastle chippy Gormans has been forced to close two shops over 'rising costs' Credit: Google Maps "We are closed. Due to the ever increasing costs of energy, stock and wages, we are sad to announce that we have been forced to close," signs on the shops' windows read. "Thank you to all our customers for your support over the years." Diners flocked to social media to mourn the closures. One wrote: "Used to be the best chippy in the area, queues every time. "What a shame." A second weighed in: "We've had our fish and chips from there for years." It is not yet known if other Gormans chip shops have been forced to close. Gormans was set up in the early 1960s by husband and wife Douglas and Evelyn Gorman. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HOSPITALITY? Many food and drink chains have been struggling recently as the cost of living has led to fewer people spending on eating out. Businesses had been struggling to bounce back after the pandemic, only to be hit with soaring energy bills and inflation. Penneys re-open of one of their most famous stores with Dublin Mayor Emma Blain there to share her must have buy Multiple chains have been affected, resulting in big-name brands like Wetherspoons and Frankie & Benny's closing branches. Some chains have not survived, Byron Burger fell into administration last year, with owners saying it would result in the loss of over 200 jobs. Pizza giant, Papa Johns announced it would be shutting down 43 of its stores this year. Tasty, the owner of Wildwood, also shut sites as part of major restructuring plans. This year has seen the announcing of further closures including from casual dining group Chipotle and an award-winning independent bistro in Merseyside. A wave of other closures has rocked the high street, with even high end restaurants feeling the pinch. The glamorous French restaurant La Dame de Pic closed for good earlier this year, with Kora by Tom Kitchen also putting the shutters down. Some chains have blamed Rachel Reeves' decision to raise National Insurance contributions, though the Chancellor has insisted that her actions were necessary to stabilise the economy. Other restaurants, like La Goccia in Covent Garden, said that 'covid' and 'Brexit' has made it impossible to hire qualified staff - forcing them to close.

Major Italian restaurant chain forced to close another branch after being hit with ZERO star hygiene rating
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BRANCH of a major Italian restaurant chain has closed permanently after being hit with a zero star hygiene rating. The Bella Italia at the Barbican Leisure Park in Plymouth has become the latest branch to shut its doors. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Bella Italia at the Darlington DL1 complex Credit: Bella Italia A statement shared on the chain's website says: "Bella Italia Plymouth, Barbican Leisure, is now closed. "It is with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of our Bella Italia restaurant in Plymouth. "We want to take this moment to thank you for your loyalty, your laughter and the many memories you've helped us create over the years." No immediate explanation was given for the restaurant's closure. But it comes after it was told urgent improvements were needed following a hygiene inspection in October 2024. Bella Italia spokesperson said at the time that "immediate corrective actions" had been carried out - and that guest safety is a "top priority". However, despite this, the restaurant has now closed its doors for good. It comes just one month after the chain announced it would close its Darlington branch in July. A spokesperson for the chain paid tribute to the "fantastic" branch staff. They said: "We can confirm that our restaurant in Darlington will cease trading at the end of our current lease in the first week of July. "We would like to thank our fantastic team at Darlington who have done an amazing job over the years. "We would also like to thank our wonderful Darlington guests; we hope to see them again in one of our other north-east restaurants." Bella Italia remains one of Britain's most popular Italian restaurant chains, with dozens of venues across the UK and Ireland. Its parent company went into administration in 2020 at the height of the COVID pandemic. The company would be acquired and re-branded later that year.

Urgent warning as UK faces HUGE water shortages with Brits told to do two things to help
A new report also says water companies must reduce leaks TAPS RUN DRY Urgent warning as UK faces HUGE water shortages with Brits told to do two things to help Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HUGE water shortages of five billion litres a day are coming by 2055 without urgent action, environment officials have warned. A stark new report says water companies must reduce leaks while the public is urged to help by taking shorter showers and even deleting old emails. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Brits are told they can help the water shortage by taking shorter showers Credit: Alamy A growing population, changes to the climate and pressure from new industries are among factors driving up demand, according to the Environment Agency. The regulator warned that England will face a daily shortfall of five billion litres in 30 years' time — around a third of current daily use — without urgent steps. It said the wider economy faces a further daily deficit of a billion litres, amid rising demand from the energy sector, food production and businesses such as water-intensive data centres. The EA says 60 per cent of the expected shortfall needs to be addressed by water companies reducing leaks and managing demand. The rest would come from a major infrastructure boost, including ten new reservoirs, nine desalination plants and seven recycling schemes. But it also urged the public to turn off taps and use full washing machine loads as well as clearing email inboxes to ease pressure on server farms, which use significant amounts of water. EA chairman Alan Lovell said: 'This deficit threatens not only the water from your tap but also economic growth and food production.' The Government has secured £104billion for infrastructure improvement over the next five years. Water firms vow to cut leaks by 17 per cent by 2030 and half by 2050, with ten million smart meters rolled out. 2 Huge water shortages of five billion litres a day are coming by 2055 without urgent action, environment officials have warned Credit: Getty Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.
