I went to The Company Shop for a last-minute Mother’s Day gift – they’ve got EXTRA savings so everything’s even cheaper
WITH Mother’s Day quite literally around the corner, many people will already have sorted gifts for Sunday 19 March’s celebrations.
However, for those who are still scrambling around before the big day, there’s one shop that can come to the rescue – and the prices are lower than ever.
Social media user Mad About Money Official visited the increasingly popular The Company Shop to see what products they had in store.
The Company Shop is the UK’s leading redistributor of surplus food and household products and stocks amazing bargains from well-known brands.
But Mad About Money Official, whose TikTok profile is @madaboutmoneyofficial, revealed they’ve taken things one step further, and taken off another 30% off prices of some items that are ideal for mums.
The money-saving tips pro explained in a video posted to her profile: “I’m at Company Shop and it’s Mother’s Day – I’m going shopping to see what bargains I can get.”
The savvy mum then gave her online community a glimpse of what they could find inside the store where you need a membership to shop.
Mad About Money began by spotting an Original Source hand wash that’s plant-based, which she immediately put into her shopping basket.
The next thing that caught her attention was a Hotel Chocolat powder for just £4.80, a pink gift bow that cost just 25p and some £2 cider for alcohol-drinkers.
And she couldn’t rave enough about their sweet selection, either.
The social media user continued to her 33.8k followers: “They’ve got so much chocolate!”
She then browsed the shelf, which was full of brands like Cadbury’s, and also checked out the ice cream section, which features big companies like Carte D’or.
But she eventually settled on some delicious sounding Hotel Chocolat Pink Champagne truffles for £2.37.
And when Mad About Money walked down another aisle, she was greeted by a nice surprise – a mega sale.
Showing some homeware on the camera, she revealed: “They’ve got some absolutely gorgeous homeware stuff and it’s all 30% until Mother’s Day.”
On the shelf, there were several great gift ideas, including an array of faux flowers products.
She continued: “I love this artificial fern – it looks really real.”

Meanwhile, she was rendered almost speechless when she spotted a £1 flower ornament hiding between the other bargains.
So what else did she end up buying to give to her mum, and how much was the grand total?
Mad About Money showed her basket at the till, as she revealed that she’d bought Lotus Biscoff ice cream, some Candy Kitten sweets, and a Radox shower gel to go alongside the plant, hand wash and Hotel Chocolat goodies.
She then said: “[It came to] £12.87 – bargain.”
She also had plenty of shopping tips for other people looking for last-minute gifts on a budget and showed them a selection of make-up brushes for £2, as well as other hair and beauty products.
The TikToker explained: “They’ve got loads of cosmetics and shower gels and make-up as well in store.
“And they’re all really cheap!”
