Primark superfan reveals how to find sold-out items and claims it works so well she even nabbed the viral grey jumper
A PRIMARK superfan has shared how you can find sold-out items in your local store.
So if you’ve had your eyes on a viral product that blew up your social media feed, like the grey and pink jumpers, but have struggled to get your hands on it, you’ll need to listen up.
Amy Rebecca Owen, a fashion and beauty fan shared her top tip that she swears by for finding sold-out items in Primark.
Sharing her advice on social media, Amy asked: “Is this really obvious or am I onto something here?”
She then explained: “This is my number one tip for finding anything decent in Primark, or anything that’s gone viral and is now sold-out and you can’t get your hands on, especially the viral knits.
“This is something I have found works every single time I go in, specifically looking for something.
“First things first, you cannot go into Primark and expect to find something decent, or something that’s TikTok viral, within five minutes.
“You need to give yourself an hour to be rummaging around, you need to be checking every single rack, at least five times.
“Trust me, you will see something on the fifth time that you did not see the first time. You need to give yourself time.”
Not only do you need to rummage around, but the content creator also suggested looking at racks with similar colour items to the item you are after.
She added: “If you are going in looking for something specific, like this grey jumper, don’t go in and be looking for a rack, full of these viral grey jumpers, because the chances are, they are sold out, so there isn’t going to be a rack full of these.
“When I found this [jumper], it was at the very back of a rail of grey cardigans, exactly the same colour and this was just one of its own. Probably because there isn’t a rack anymore that exists of it.
“I don’t know if that’s really obvious, but you want to be checking all of the racks of the similar colours to the item that you’re looking for.
“I have noticed this happen quite a few times.
“Essentially make sure you’re rummaging through the racks of the same colour and that’s where you will typically end up finding the viral pieces that are typically sold out.
“That’s something I notice and I always find the really decent stuff because there’s always one hiding and people aren’t bothered to actually look and rummage.
“If you are bothered and you do find the time, then you’re going to get lucky.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ames.ro, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 11,700 views.
Social media users were thankful for the tip and were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “Such a good tip and now you’ve said it, it’s obvious but I would not have thought of it on my own.”
Another added: “That’s exactly how I found that jumper, behind another grey jumper! Great tip!”
Whilst a third commented: “Someone maybe hid it to go back later you discovered their stash haha!”
Meanwhile, at the same time, one savvy shopper claimed: “I wait a few weeks until all the hype has died down and girlies have run out to buy.
“I usually find Primark pieces on Vinted a few weeks later. I’ve found Rita Ora stuff for £3 and I got the pink jumper for £5.”
