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.

Energy firm with 800,000 customers must give £277k compensation to customers after huge payment fail
Read on to find out how much you could get PAY OUT Energy firm with 800,000 customers must give £277k compensation to customers after huge payment fail Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of customers of a major energy supplier will receive compensation after an investigation by the industry regulator. Energy firm Utilita will pay around £277,000 in compensation after it failed to pay its Warm Home Discount payments on time. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Utilita will pay customers compensation after an investigation by the regulator Credit: Getty The regulator found that the firm failed to pass on the mandatory discount to more than 4,000 customers within the required timeframe because of an internal error in processing payments. The Warm Home Discount is a one-off annual £150 discount of electricity bills to households on certain benefits or those on a low income with high energy costs. The automatic payment is usually paid by March 31. But thousands of the customers did not receive it on time this year. In recognition of the impact the delayed payments could have had on its customers, many of whom are vulnerable, Utilita has agreed to pay £247,000 of compensation to those affected. Customers will receive a further payment of up to £150 each. The money will be paid in addition to £30,000 of compensation Utilita paid to affected customers shortly after the issue was identified. Cathryn Scott, regulatory director of market oversight and enforcement at Ofgem, said that failure to make payments on time is "unacceptable". She added: 'The Warm Home Discount is a lifeline for vulnerable energy consumers on low incomes. "Even a short delay in making these payments can cause harm to vulnerable customers, so it's vital that suppliers make these payments on time and without hassle. "Unfortunately, on this occasion, Utilita fell short of our standards by failing to pay some of their customers in a timely manner." She said that Utilita has done an audit of its Warm Home Discount processes to make sure it does not happen again. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

The retailer is looking to open four stores in Leicester, plus two in Wolverhampton and Sheffield. Meanwhile, M&S wants to open 12 new food stores across the UK, creating 500 jobs.

Family-owned Søstrene Grene is reportedly eyeing up 50 new stores across the UK as well. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

I let my kid start wearing make-up aged 3 – she is now 10 & I've spent £1.5K on her 200 products, her regime has 9 steps
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 10-YEAR-OLD who started wearing make-up aged THREE has spent $2k (£1.5K) on over 200 products, has a nine-step daily skincare routine and describes herself as a "proud Sephora kid". Naiya White, 10, started wearing make-up at the age of three while performing at dance recitals. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 At the age of five, and during the 2020 lockdown, Naiya began following tutorials by make-up artists Mikayla Nogueira and Jeffree Star, under mum's supervision Credit: SWNS 3 At the age of three, Naiya had already spent hours watching mum Ashley doing her skincare and make-up Credit: SWNS 3 The little girl has dubbed herself a 'Sephora kid' - tweens and teens who are obsessed with skincare and beauty products Credit: SWNS Her mum, Ashley Paige, 38, was a make-up artist in her local Ulta store during the 2000s, and bought Naiya her first make-up item - an Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick costing $20 (£14.75) - in 2018. Since then, Naiya has developed a nine-step skincare routine and 11-step makeup routine - with $2,000 (£1.5k) worth of products - which takes her up to 30 minutes every day and refuses to be caught without seven lip glosses in her purse at once. She dubs herself a 'Sephora kid' - tweens and teens who are obsessed with skincare and beauty products, often visiting Sephora and similar stores to purchase and try products - and insists "you're never too young to start looking after your skin". Ashley, a graphic designer, from Grand Junction, Colorado, said: "The most important lesson I want Naiya to teach is: You can be a Sephora Kid and have a childhood. "For me personally, as a mum, I don't believe she needs all those products - I want her to have make-up and skincare and to play with them freely, if they're child-safe. "But, we don't believe in promoting overconsumption. "I'm not worried about what it's doing to Naiya's skin - we only use child-safe products like moisturiser, cleanser and SPF." Naiya, an elementary school student, added: "I'm a proud Sephora Kid - I like to take my cousin to Sephora and give her skincare advice. "I'm obsessed with makeup and skincare - I would honestly love to own my own skincare company when I grow up, or become a makeup artist. "I spend up to 30 minutes every morning on my skincare, and 15 minutes doing my makeup." 'Love these' shoppers cry as Primark launches new skincare range with £3.50 masks & SPF & it'll save you hundreds on the viral brand At the age of three, Naiya had already spent hours watching Ashley doing her skincare and make-up. By that time she began showing interest in playing with skincare herself and Ashley allowed Naiya to use her baby lotion, body wash and SPF. But her first make-up item, an Anastasia Beverley Hills liquid lipstick, was bought by Ashley just before Naiya was due to perform at a dance recital. "At dance, they require girls to wear red lipstick," Ashley said. "I don't believe girls should be wearing red lipstick or nail polish - it's a woman's colour. "I took Naiya to Sephora - we picked a very bright pink liquid lipstick. "That was her first, more prestige, item." NAIYA'S SKINCARE ROUTINE Here's everything the ten-year-old uses throughout the day. Morning: Bubble Fresh Start gel cleanser - $17 (£12) Bubble Slam Dunk moisturiser - $16 (£11) Tinted sunscreen - $10 (£7) Aquaphor chapstick - $8 (£6) Make-up routine: Tinted sunscreen - $19 (£14) Concealer - $29 (£21) Bronzing stick - $35 (£25) Blush - $15 (£11) Eyebrow gel - $7 (£5) Clear mascara - $3 (£2) Highlighter - $31 (£22) Eyeshadow - $29 (£21) Lip liner - $7 (£5) Lip gloss - $21 (£15) Evening skincare routine: Evereden multivitamin face wash - $39 (£28) Evereden Mini Cloud face wash - $12 (£9) Moisturiser - $8 (£6) Lip mask - $10 (£7) Lip scrub - $10 (£7) At the age of five, and during the 2020 lockdown, Naiya began following tutorials by make-up artists Mikayla Nogueira and Jeffree Star, under Ashley's supervision. The tot became "obsessed" with shimmery looks, using glitter eyeshadow and eyeliner. Her make-up collection began growing, including more "prestige" items like $19 (£14) Laneige lip glosses and $30 (£22) Drunk Elephant skincare. Now, at the age of 10, Naiya has over 200 makeup and skincare items - and has spent $2,000 (£1.5k) - which she keeps in her vanity table, dresser drawers, and three make-up bags. Naiya said: "Most of my expensive make-up products I have are from Santa Claus. "I have 200 products - my mum had to turn my dresser into a vanity table so I could fill it with all of them." Ashley added: "Naiya is obsessed with Laneige, particularly lip gloss." A year after discovering her love for make-up, Naiya began watching skincare videos on TikTok, as well as accompanying Ashley to dermatologist appointments. Together, the mum-and-daughter duo have been reading into products Naiya can use safely - and Ashley says it's "great" she's looking after her skin from such a young age. Over four years, Naiya has created a nine-step skincare routine - including four steps in the morning and five steps in the evening. "A few years ago, I was going to Botox and facial peel appointments - Naiya would come with me and get very interested in them," Ashley added. "I share a lot of my skincare products with her, as long as they're age appropriate. "I think a lot of people forget that our skin is our largest organ - you can't really teach your child to take good care of their body and not teach them about their entire body. "We're happy to teach kids about eating healthy food, exercise and mental health, so why not about skincare?" The pair say they've received messages from critics on TikTok saying Naiya is "too young" to wear the products, after posting skincare videos together. But Naiya says people would still criticise her if she was suffering from skin issues. "If a kid has a bunch of breakouts, they'd tell them to take care of their skin more," she said. "But I do take care of my skin - and they just say I'm too young. "You have to be careful and educate yourself, because there are skincare products which can harm a kid's skin barrier. "But even babies have skincare products - I don't think you can be too young." Ashley added: "We're not saying kids should be using anti-wrinkle cream, or worrying about that. "But it's important for everyone to be protecting themselves from the sun, and keeping their skin moisturised."
