SHOPPERS have been rushing to a major supermarket after the price of Lenor washing detergent was found slashed by more than 90 per cent.
A lucky shopper said that when she scanned a 55 wash bottle she found the price had been cut from £5 to just 37p.
Posting to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page, the shopper said: “Worth checking your Morrisons again.
“I popped in today and saw the 55 washes on the shelf labelled as £5 but scanned at 37p. They had a whole shelf of them.”
The discounted bottles were Lenor's Dreamy Jasmine Outdoorable washing liquid.
But, the offer does not appear to be available across all Morrisons supermarkets.
Some shoppers reported being left disappointed at the tills, while others have managed to pick up the offer.
One said: “I grabbed a few.”
Another added: “This was reduced at Tesco too but not for 37p, what a bargain you found! Wonder if they’re discounting this scent.”
A third said: “Bargain.”
On the Morrisons website the 55 wash, 770ml bottle, continues to be listed at, £5 but at least two shoppers have said that when they took it to the till it scanned at the lower price.
Tesco is selling a 742ml, 53 wash bottle, for £3.50 for Clubcard members, with Sainsbury's offering the same deal to Nectar card holders.
It's not uncommon for supermarkets to slash prices below what rivals are offering to lure customers.
But just because one store is the cheapest this week, that may not be the case the following week.
Grocers can run deals and offers at various different times to each other.
So if you are looking for a bargain you should keep an eye on supermarket websites to ensure you are not missing out.
Don't forget you can double check offers and deals using price comparison sites such as Trolley.co.uk and Google Shopping.
Earlier this week bargain hunters rushed to Home Bargains to get their hands on the latest ‘Dubai chocolate' treat,
Shoppers were shocked when they saw the product listed on shelves for just £1.50, despite similar items typically selling for around £20.
Shoppers have also been rushing to pick up discounted Easter Eggs ahead of the holiday with Asda having slashed prices t just 98p.
And just today M&S unveiled what maybe its most exciting Easter release yet, revealing adippy egg hot cross bun, comprising a chocolatey bun with a smooth yellow and whitechocolatecentre.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you – so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealois another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank themfrom the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
