A savvy bargain hunter has revealed a simple trick that can help shoppers secure a 10% discount at Primark. The technique, which was popular decades ago, has been largely forgotten by younger generations accustomed to online shopping.
How to Get 10% Off
The bargain hunter, known online as caroline.shops, explained: "If you see an item of clothing with a small mark, such as lipstick from someone trying it on, you can go to the till, point out the mark, and ask, 'Can I get a reduction?' Staff will generally give you a 10% reduction, and these marks often come out in the wash."
Additional Money-Saving Tips
Caroline also highlighted cashback opportunities through apps like Jam Doughnut, where Primark items can be reduced by up to 90%. She recommends shopping on Friday mornings when stock is marked down ahead of the weekend rush.
Employee Insights
Primark employees responded with their own advice. One noted that reductions on marked items are possible, but not always on Fridays. Another said Wednesdays are typically when items are marked down, especially at the end of a season. A third added that 90% discounts are rare and only happen when stock needs to be cleared quickly.
The best approach is to ask store employees politely, as they may share local money-saving tips. For specific items, Click & Collect is recommended, as website stock levels may not be real-time.
