Start by shopping in your local store on the right day, which, according to one ex-worker is a Tuesday or Thursday.
Dale O’Keeffe told The Sun this is when items that are already in clearance are reduced further.
The former staff member said Fridays are worth a punt too as this is when stores are at their fullest ahead of the weekend rush.
Dale said most TK Maxx shops twice a year have a “final clearance” as well – which sees massive reduction on clearance stock.
The two periods are usually around two weeks long and tend to come in January and July.
Dale said he would see items that started out at £40 reduced to as little as 30p.
Dale also advised shoppers check out the home furnishings section where you can find some serious hidden treasures.
Plus, he said heading to bigger stores like the Bullring in Birmingham or Trafford Center in Manchester, could see you snap up “Gold Label” items.
These are essentially the biggest designer items, reduced by hundreds of pounds.
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

IF you’re still adding festive touches around your home, Dollar Tree has just the thing.
Shoppers have heaped on the praise for a budget-friendly buy that “screams Christmas.”
Dollar Tree customers can pick up a Decorative Christmas Plush Gnome for $3 each.
The beloved character is available in a variety of stores but it’s unlikely you’ll find a better deal than this one.
Each tiny gnome measures 16 inches in height.
They are available in a variety of looks, including a classic Santa suit, reindeer antlers, and elf ears.
“Nothing screams Christmas more than short, adorable, bearded men scattered about your home,” said the manufacturers.
Similar decor is available from Michaels, though each gnome will set you back $13.99.
The “whimsical holiday decor” from Dollar Tree is available in a total of eight styles.
You can customize each gnome, changing their clothes and other features such as their ears.
Manufacturers recommend mixing and matching to create your own unique “stout, chubby icon.”
Each gnome is weighted with sand to keep them in place, making them easy to display.
The Christmas gnomes received an average rating of four stars from customers.
They shared their experiences with the product in the Dollar Tree review section.
“I bought 10 of these yesterday to give as door prizes for the Christmas party and am going back to get more!” wrote one shopper.
They added that the gnomes are “beautiful for the price!”
“Precious and great quality!! I would highly recommend buying these,” said another person.
Despite the name of the store, Dollar Tree recently added items that cost more than $1 to its inventory.
Most items at the store cost no more than $1.25, but items in the Dollar Tree Plus section cost up to $5.
Dollar Tree introduced Plus aisles to 100 locations in 2019 as part of an effort to diversify its products.
By 2022, Dollar Tree had added the items to over 1,500 locations.
“We believe testing additional price points above $1 for Dollar Tree products will enable us over time to expand our assortments, introduce new products and meet more of our customers’ everyday needs,” president and CEO Michael Witynski said in a statement.
“Our brand promise is that customers get great value for what they spend at Dollar Tree. We will continue to be fiercely protective of that promise, regardless of the price point.”
“Beautiful Gnomes! Absolutely love them! Great price!” commented a third buyer.
“These are so cute. Everyone loves them. Great value and just a cute decoration,” wrote another Dollar Tree customer.
“Adorable Christmas gnomes. Very well made and an amazing value for the money,” said one shopper.
“Lots of detail that you would expect to pay at least double the price. Highly recommend.”
“These are adorable gnomes for the holidays. I love them,” agreed another commenter.
THE ‘Angel of Death’ security guard with a “grudge against migrants” faced life in prison today after gunning down five men in northern France.
Paul D, aged 22, was in custody in a police station in Dunkirk following a gun rampage close to a makeshift camp full of men, women and children hoping to reach Britain on small boats.
Two Iraqui Kurds from the settlement at Loon-Plage, a suburb of the port city, were murdered on Saturday night, just after Paul D killed his former boss.
Transport company chief Paul Dekeister, 29, was gunned down in front of his wife and other family members at nearby Wormhout.
An investigating source said: “The killer arrived at the Dekeister’s farmhouse at around 3pm on Saturday and killed Mr Dekeister infront of his family.
“Mr Dekeister had employed the suspect in a security capacity, and was involved in a dispute.
“After the killing, the suspect got into his car and made his way to the area around the migrant camp at Loon-Plage.
“It is thought that he had a grudge against the migrants living along the coast, and wanted to settle some scores.”
Paul D, a Dunkirk born French national, saw the two Kurds standing by the side of a road, close to the camp, and shot them both at point-blank-range.
“He left them no chance of survival,” said the source, who identified the men by their first names as Marc, a father of two, aged 33, and Aurélien, who was 37 and also married with children.
Both were in a service vehicle belonging to the Eamus Cork Security security company, which assists the police in patrolling the coast.
They had a dog with them at the time, and the animal was unharmed.
All those killed received “precise shots to the head, suggesting the killer had a lot of experience with firearms,” said the investigating source.
Special forces police were called to a camp on the Mardyck Road soon after 4pm on Saturday afternoon after early reports of ‘a lone gunman killing people,’ said the source.
All the shootings took place within less than an hour of each other, he added.
The man then drove some eight miles to the coastal town Ghyvelde, and turned himself into gendarmes at around 5pm, before confessing to all five murders.
Four weapons were found in Paul D.’s car, and he was the legal owner of a Smith and Wesson 44 Remington rifle because he was registered as a hunter, said a gendarmerie spokesman.
Confirming the arrest, a spokesman for Ghyvelde gendarmes said the man ‘was not known to police,’ suggesting he had no previous criminal record.
On Sunday, the Dunkirk prosecutor opened an investigation into a quintuple murder, saying Paul D. faced life in prison.
David Calcoen, the Mayor of Wormhout, said: ‘I am stunned by what has happened. ‘I cannot understand how this could have happened.’
Identities of migrant victims were not immediately released, said Eric Rommel, the Mayor of Loon Plage.

The budget-friendly Christmas tree has received an average rating of 4.7 stars out of five from customers.
They shared their thoughts on the item in the comments section of the site.
“I got two of each color, I really wish I would have gotten more,” wrote one shopper.
“Next year I’m getting an entire case.”
“Awesome if you want a tree in your room, if you want a small tree or are on a short budget [it’s] perfect,” said another customer.
They summed up the budget buy as the “best fake tree in the world.”
“I bought this Christmas tree to prepare my room for the Christmas season and beat my family’s best-decorated room for under $35,” commented a third person.
“It added so much coziness and Christmas joy to my room.
“I would DEFINITELY recommend this tree, it is very full and mind-blowing to be sold for only $5!

FEARS have grown following mystery “drones” flying over the US as Donald Trump calls for them to be shot out of the sky.
Hysteria and conspiracy theories has swept the country as multiple sightings have been made over homes and military bases.
Firefighters have been ordered to wear hazmat suits to protect themselves from the mysterious flying objects.
Lawmakers and residents have questioned the source of these mystery devices but officials have been left stumped.
The FBI has been unable to confirm who or what is behind the apparent drone descent while Trump lashed out at President Joe Biden for his silence.
Trump launched his scathing attack on Biden and offered his solution to the problem, in a post on Truth Social.
“Mystery drone sightings all over the country,” the President-elect wrote.
“Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so!Let the public know, and now.
“Otherwise, shoot them down!”
The Pentagon and FBI has claimed there is no threat to the public but have been unable to explain the bizarre phenomena.
Suspected drone sightings have been reported in multiple East Coast states including New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
The worrying unidentified flying objects have even been spotted above a space site in California and a military air base in Virginia, near Washington D.C.
A sighting was even reported at the Trump-owned Bedminster golf course, in New Jersey.
A Trump advisor issued a warning based on a growing conspiracy theory.
Charlie Kirk, 31, a conservative political activist claimed the sightings could be linked to a Project Blue Beam conspiracy.
‘WE ARE F****D. THE DRONES ARE PROJECT BLUE BEAM,’ Kirk wrote in a X post.
Drone sightings have been reported all across the East Coast since they were first seen in Morris County, New Jersey, in mid-November.
mid-November.
Some of the locations where the drones were reported include:
“LOOK FOR VIDS OF THEM TRANSFORMING FROM BALLS OF LIGHT TO PLANES WHEN FILMED TO SEE FOR YOURSELF.
“THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT INVESTIGATING. THEY ARE DOING THIS. WHATEVER YOU SEE IN THE COMING DAYS IS NOT GOOD.”
The Project Blue Beam conspiracy claims officials are attempting to implement a new worldwide religion with an Antichrist at it’s head.
This theory, which gained prominence in the 1990s, alledges technology would be used to mimic a supposedly miraculous or supernatural event to get people to follow an Antichrist.
A New Jersey mayor fueled panic after he revealed his fire department was briefed by state officials to wear hazmat suits in case these mystery objects crash down to earth.
Belleville Mayor Michael Melham revealed the shock update on Friday.
“That guidance does say two different things: First of all, if there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we are immediately to call the bomb squad of our county,” Melham said on Fox News.
“And second, our fire department has been instructed to make sure they wear hazmat suits.”
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy also called on Biden to be more proactive on this issue.
He said: “New Jersey residents deserve more concrete information about these UAS sightings and what is causing them.
“I respectfully urge you to continue to direct the federal agencies involved to work together until they uncover answers as to what is behind the UAS sightings.”
Jeff Van Drew, a Republican Representative of New Jersey, accused the Pentagon of hiding the truth about the mysterious drones from the American public.
An Iranian ship was reportedly spotted off the New Jersey shore, day before the apparent drone sightings happened.
Van Drew launched a wild claim that these mystery objects were being sent from the supposed Iranian vessel, citing “high sources”.
“Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones,” Van Drew said.
“That mothership is off… the East Coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones into everything that we can see or hear.
“And again, these are from high sources. I don’t say this lightly.”
The congressman echoed Trump’s statement and called for the flying objects to be “shot down”.
The Pentagon refuted Van Drew’s claims and said there was no evidence of an Iranian vessel.
New Jersey’s senator Andy Kim did not discount the current drone theory after his drone finding mission with cops.
Kim and local police investigated the puzzling unidentified objects as he shared his own theory.
He believed some of the reported sightings from the public could have been planes.
Despite this, the senator has not dismissed growing fears around possible drones flying across the country.
“I don’t discount others that may have seen actual drone activity, and not all I saw is fully explained by flight paths, but much of it was,” he wrote on X.
“We have a lot of distrust in politics/government right now, and we need federal gov to respect the right for the public to be informed.”
