A WOMAN has taken to social media to show off her latest bargain buy, but it’s something else which has got people talking.
The savvy shopper was over the moon when she found a cut-price duvet set in the Sainsbury’s home range, Habitat.
The bargain hunter managed to pick up the tropical print bed set which was in the sale.
She confirmed that she saved a whopping £22 on the set, which was originally sold for £32, but she nabbed for just £10.
Sharing a post to the private Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, which has a whopping 2.2million members, the woman said: “Bought for my daughter on Tuesday and when in Sainsbury’s yday saw that the duvet was actually £32 full price. Very happy!”
The mother explained that she picked up the bedding set for just £10, as she posted a picture of the bed with her new bargain buy and noted: “Photo of bed made up with complementary pillow cases!”
