First, go on a weekday morning. Avoid the weekend warriors with their overflowing trolleys. They are crafty, but they are also merciless.
Second, check the damaged goods corner. A slightly squished box of sequins is still a box of sequins. Nobody looks at your finished project and says, “Hmm, that sequin seems bruised.”
Third, get weird. Buy the strange wooden cutout of a frog. Get the pack of multi-coloured pipe cleaners shaped like people. You don’t need a reason. It’s on sale.
The Ultimate Quirky Find
Here’s a funny fact: someone found a box of “Sticky Fingers.” It was a kit for making fake, gooey hands. It was 80% off. Why did it exist? The world may never know.
Another shopper scored a three-foot-tall unicorn made of papier-mâché. It was meant for a window display. Now it guards their living room. Value: priceless.
These sales aren’t just about saving money. They’re about stories. You’ll remember the day you bought a box of 500 tiny clothespins for £2. You’ll tell your friends. They’ll be jealous.
