Shoppers need to act fast to take advantage of the discounts because once the items are sold they’re gone forever.
And remember you might find that your closest store doesn’t have what you want in stock.

Here’s the full list of shops and chains disappearing from the high street this year.
Retailers have been feeling the pinch since the pandemic while shoppers are cutting back spending due to soaring inflation.
When prices are going up it squeezes people’s incomes, meaning many are forced to shop less – and that’s bad news for shops, restaurants and pubs.
High energy costs and a shift to shopping online after the pandemic are also taking a toll and many high street shops have struggled to keep going.
