NEXT’S popular clearance sale has started today with up to 70 per cent off clothing and homeware both in store and online.
The fashion retailer’s website promises that most items will be half price or less, and when HOAR checked we found a whole host of products with 70 per cent off.
In stores, the sales began at 5am – use Next’s store finder tool to find your nearest – although VIP customers have had priority access online over the past few days.
Discounts can be found on women’s, men’s, and kids’ clothing, as well as on the fashion brands Next sells from the likes of Lipsy, Florence & Fred, and River Island.
Homeware, including duvet sets, curtains and cushions, are also in the sale.
If you order online at Next bear in mind that delivery fees start from £3.99 depending on the size of the items ordered, although you can click and collect to store for free.
Also, just because Next has a sale on doesn’t mean you can’t find similar items for less elsewhere so always do a price comparison using an online tool such as Google Shopping.
Here’s our pick of the sale.

This light-up mirror could jazz up dressing tables or bathrooms, measuring in at 50cm (width) x 60cm (height) x 4.5cm (depth), although it’s unclear if it needs or comes with batteries.
We found a third party Amazon seller selling a similar light for a cheaper £9.49, plus free delivery, but there are no product reviews so it’s worth doing your research on the seller before taking the plunge.
Boohoo also had one for £7 reduced from £10, plus £4.99 delivery, but it’s currently sold out.
Clothing and non-essential retailers were forced to shut shop when the UK went into lockdown because of coronavirus back in March, although they were allowed to continue selling online.
In England, high street retailers have only been allowed to reopen since June 15 – the rules are different in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
