The post revealed that Tesco’s branch in Wath Upon Dearne is selling Status’ 12-inch Desk Fan for just £5.85.
The fan’s price was slashed by a whopping 70 per cent after the major retail chain moved the item to its reduced-to-clear section.
Shoppers can also bag Status’ 31-inch Tower Fan, scanning at Tesco’s tills for just £9.40,
It’s unclear what the original price of the tower fan was, but similar models on the supermarket’s website cost nearly £40.
Alternatively, Tesco shoppers can buy Status’ 16-inch Pedestal Fan for £6.60 after it too was moved to the reduced-to-clear section.
Similar models of the 16-inch fan cost around £25 from the popular supermarket chain, so those opting for Status’ fans will save £18.40.
The savvy shopper’s post in the bargain Facebook group garnered hundreds of likes and comments from fellow shoppers eager to grab the summer essential.
“Hope they have some left,” wrote one user.
Another commented: “Cheers pal just what I need.”
While a third, who tagged their friend, added: “If ur in at lunch have a nosey.”
Despite their eagerness, shoppers should be aware that not all of Tesco’s branches will stock these items in the reduced-to-clear section.
It’s always worth phoning ahead to your local store to check how many they have available.
As always, make sure to have a shop around before you commit to a purchase to make sure you’re always getting the best deal.
To find your nearest store head over to the Tesco website.
It follows a lucky Tesco shopper who managed to nab the “bargain” of their life when they found a pair of kids’ sports shoes priced at just 4p.
The shockingly low price sent social media into a frenzy with many wondering how shoes were so cheap.
The pair of B Sports Shoes normally costs £13 but its price had been reduced by more than 99%.
A post of the staggering deal shared on Facebook amassed countless shocked reactions.
The post stated: “Bargain of [my] life, Tesco kids School trainers for 4p, original price £13.00.”
Users were also quick to comment on the extraordinary offer.
One said: “Well done on your bargain!”
But many also shared insight into why the price was so low.
One sharp commenter claimed: “Item at 4p are old stock and meant to be removed from shelves.”
However, another said: “Shouldn’t have been sold.
“It’s meant to be for charity.”
Tesco often reduces prices to 4p on goods that are considered ‘old stock.’
How to bag a bargain
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.
