I bought £284 of Tesco bedding & homeware for £14 after finding an epic 15p sale – I even got kitchen buys for a QUID

Tesco and Sainsbury’s ‘secret codes’ revealed

EVERYONE loves a bargain.

So when she popped to her local Tesco and found an epic 15p sale, you can be sure that Sylvia was filling up her trolley.

A collection of bedding and a water filter jug.

While a Brita water jug, which had previously been reduced to a tenner, was knocked down to £1

And after doing so, she took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to boast about her finds.

“Saving £270, cost me £14!” Sylvia wrote alongside pictures of her haul.

The bargain buys were all laid out on the carpet, with four 100% cotton double duvet sets and one single alongside eight packs of single fitted sheets and five double ones.

The sheets were marked up as 15p and 28p respectively.

And she also managed to nab a homeware bargain too – a 2.4 litre Brita water filter jug.

The jug, which is still selling for £29.99 online, was just one pound.

It had even been a bargain before that, with the reduced sticker showing that it had previously been marked down to £10.

And people in the comments section of the Facebook post were quick to praise Sylvia for her incredible finds, with many admitting they were somewhat jealous of the haul.

“We’re lucky if our local Tesco reduces anything by 5p!” one person raged.

“Same – even the gone off meat for the day only gets 10p knocked off,” another agreed.

“I hope you run a B & B with that bedding...” a third wrote.

“Maybe she will sell it and make a profit at the end of the day,” someone else said.

“She was in the right place at the right time and got all that for the price one set would cost.

“Jealous you didn't find them!”

“I never find reduced bedding well done on a fabulous haul,” another added.

“Wicked well done!! I love getting a bargain on bedding especially 100% cotton,” someone else commented.

Insider tip from a Tesco employee

A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys.

According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random.

The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit.

If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check.

This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft.

So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.

“I have never found bargains like this in any shop… ever!! Great find, well done,” another praised.

“Bedding! Wow, I’d be grabbing loads of that! Jealous but great find,” someone else said.

“Wow!! I work at Tesco don't get anything like this, well done,” another praised.

“What an incredible haul. Absolute bargains. I'm envious haha!” someone else admitted.

“Not going to say I’m not jealous because I most definitely am!” another laughed.

“But because I never find these bargains! Go you!!!”

“Amazing. I picked up a £300 BBQ for £30 a month back!” someone else revealed.

“Was last year's stock.”

While others were less impressed, and criticised Sylvia for picking up so many of the bargain items.

“People out there struggling ya know!” one said.

“Nice bargains! But did you really need to buy that much, save some for the rest of us!” another wrote.

“How is it ‘saving' – surely you wouldn't ordinarily have bought that much bedding, even over the period of a few years?” a third questioned

“Maybe it’s for friends and family as well, maybe all her bedding needing changing but couldn’t afford to do it.

“Maybe it’s all to donate to the food bank.

“We don’t know and we shouldn’t really care! They have some brilliantbargains and this is what the page is all about – not judging or enquiring what they are doing with it.”
