‘Bargain!’ shoppers say as they race to Primark to snap up £60 suitcase that’s scanning at just £20 at the tills
WITH glimpses of sunshine and lighter evenings, it won’t be long until spring is officially here and we all start thinking about those dreamy summer holidays.
But if your suitcases are a little worse for wear after years of use, then now could be the perfect time to invest in a new one.
That’s because eagle-eyed holiday goers have been going wild after spotting a bargain buy in Primark that’s scanning at much cheaper at the tills.
Kirsty Godbold took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and posted a snap of the bright pink large-sized suitcase, which was clearly labelled with a £60 price tag.
However, rather than forking out full price, she was delighted to find out that it has been hugely discounted.
Alongside the image, she penned: “Bargain!! Primark marked as £60 asked a member of staff for a price check and it was marked down to £20!!”
Deciding not to gatekeep exactly where she snapped up the bargain, Kirsty noted: “This was at the new Primark in Bury st Edmunds.”
It wasn’t long before bargain hunters raced to the comments section, with many eager to get their hands on one.
“If you see one please get me one,” one person wrote, tagging a friend.
A second penned: “Same size, in blue, £20 Dunfermline.”
A third commented: “The smaller cabin size in pink was scanning at £10 on Friday in Canterbury, Kent. The label said £45 reduced to £20 but scanned at £10.
“I didn’t buy but a lady in the queue in front of me did.”
Meanwhile, a fourth pointed out: “The price really depends on the individual store.
“I got the blue one yesterday it scanned at £20 but my friend got the pink one and it scanned at £30 so she got them to double check it as mine went through at £20.
“They said it all depends on how much stock they need to get rid of in their store to how cheap it is.”
Another commented: “I need!”
And a further chimed in: “lol I paid £30 on Monday,” followed by a sad face emoji.
It’s not the first travel bargain from Primark that’s sent shoppers into a frenzy in recent weeks either.
Customers have also been going wild for the high-street store’s ‘Quilted Under Seat Cabin Bag‘ which is the ideal size for fitting under your seat.
Priced at just £12, it features a main zipped compartment for clothes, shoes, phones or other technology.
Not only that, but the handy addition of side-zipped pockets is perfect for grabbing toiletries or chargers while you’re on the go.
