Martin Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert reveals shop you’ve never heard of selling M&S, Next and Zara clothes with 80% off
MARTIN Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert.com has revealed how you can bag 80% off branded clothes and foot wear.
Thrift+ is an online second-hand retailer selling fashion items for men and women.
And it recently launched an up to 80% off sale on more than 100,000 items, MoneySavingExpert.com reports.
Shoppers can pick up discounts on pre-loved clothes from a number of high street brands including Zara, Next and Marks and Spencer.
Prices start at £3, ranging up to £184 on everything from skirts to jumpers, shoes to accessories and jackets and coats.
There’s a pair of Boden jeans on sale for just £14 and a Next top for £3.50.
Meanwhile, savvy shoppers can pick up a Mango mini dress for just £3.50 or Luxe scary for the same price.
Bear in mind delivery costs £5.95 for England, Scotland and Wales while for households in Northern Ireland it is £9.95.
Baskets worth £50 or more get free delivery, but only spend this amount if you were going to anyway.
Remember too, to always shop around before buying any product.
Just because one website or retailer has slashed prices, that doesn’t mean you can’t get the same items cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley are useful for supermarket groceries while Price Runner and Price Spy help you compare clothes and household items.
On this occasion it’s hard to make a straight comparison as these items are second-hand, but the websites can be helpful if you are buying items new.
