IT’S one of the best places to go if you’re looking for stunning homeware on a budget. But one shopper got a bigger deal than they bargained for when they took a giant clock, marked up for £40, to the till in The Range.facebook/extremecouponingandbargainsukA shopper was left stunned when this £40 clock scanned for just 49p at the tills[/caption]facebook/extremecouponingandbargainsukThey showed their receipt, which listed the clock as a 49p pack of gold stars in error[/caption]facebook/extremecouponingandbargainsukThe bargain hunter also shared a snap of the clock on the wall once they got it home[/caption]They took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share their epic find, as they posted pictures of the chic clock and their receipt.
“Don’t know if it was a one off or just labelled up wrong on the till or something but just got this clock from The Range in St Helens,” they wrote alongside the snaps. “I expected to pay £40 and scanned through at 49p!”On the receipt, it appeared that the barcode was wrong, as it had come up as a ‘pack of gold stars’ for 49p.“Looks like an error from the description,” one person commented on the post.
“But it’s not your fault so enjoy your bargain!”“Based on the name on the receipt it looks like an error but hey! Lucky you!” another said. “Wow, now that’s a bargain!” a third wrote. “When was this today? I’m going haha,” someone else said.
When the shopper said they’d nabbed the bargain just an hour before, the woman headed to the same store in the hope of getting the same mega price drop. However, when she got to the till, it disappointingly scanned through at full price.“Love it! Lucky you,” someone else commented on the Facebook post.
“Lucky you,” another declared. “If I ever get anything with wrong price on its always more than it should be!”“Nice! I paid full price for this when it first came out. Enjoy!” a third praised.
“We’ve got this clock in black, it’s lovely. Good bargain,” someone else wrote.Hottest home trends for 2025Renovations expert Andy Simms, from MyBuilder.

For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme.BROKEN LIVING PLAN Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn’t quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces – with a twist.
