Extreme Couponing and Bargain UK/FacebookShoppers have been rushing to bag Asda’s relaxed chair scanning for 50% less[/caption]
The bargain was shared on Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargain UK, after being found at.
The poster said: “Absolute bargain today at ASDA.”
The chair has a yellow-stripe print design with a plush cushion and a white frame.
It fold for easy storage and measures 59cm by 90cm by 102cm.
The bargain hunter managed to bag such a good deal because the item was an ex-display model.
Shops often sell their ex-display models at mega discounts, so it’s always worth keeping an eye out for these deals.
Do bear in mind too that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest Asda store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
The chair is significantly cheaper than other models on sale at Asda.
For example, the supermarket is currently selling two padded relaxer chairs with a similar yellow stripe print for £58.80, reduced from £84.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
If you decide to look elsewhere for some outdoor furniture, you can pick up the Argos Home Check Folding Recliner Garden Chair in Grey for £55.
Or the Sun Lounger Recliner Relaxer Reclining Chair Seat Outdoor Garden Patio Cushion from Amazon for £44.99.
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.

Grace flashed a big smile as she arrived at the venue with her pals for the big bash.
She has every to be happy after recently bagging a huge six-figure fashion deal – despite not making it to the final.
Last month, The Sun revealed how Grace had signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO after being inundated with offers following her stint in the villa.
A rep for Grace told The Sun: “We are so excited to announce after multiple offers Grace has signed a deal with EGO worth six figures.
“Grace has always loved EGO and the creative ideas really align with her style and personality.
“No other islander has done anything like this for a first brand deal and we know it’s going to be a huge moment for Grace.”
A spokesperson for EGO added: “We’re thrilled to have Grace on board, we knew from the beginning she was the girl for us.
“She’s bold, not afraid to push boundaries and her sense of style is exceptionally EGO.
“The alignment makes complete sense.
“It’s a very exciting time for the brand, we’ve seen unprecedented growth over the past year.
“Grace has tons to give, as do we. We’re ready to get started!”
Grace, who is represented by M Models Management, was previously tipped to be the next Molly-Mae after landing a series of meetings, including one with Pretty Little Thing.
The model has been inundated with offers of work and has already had a big meeting with online retail giant PrettyLittleThing.

“She’s on course to be a millionaire already and a lot of brands are calling her the next Molly-Mae.”
The exciting news comes just days after Grace called it quits with Reuben Collins.

A source said: “Grace and Reuben have come to the mutual decision a romantic relationship isn’t right for either of them at this time.
“Grace wishes Reuben all the best and vice versa. They will remain friends and have no bad feelings towards each other.”

5 days agoNews TalkComments Off on Why ‘taking the plunge’ necklines are the ultimate power move and how stars like Helen Flanagan secretly use them
CELEBRITIES are taking the plunge when it comes to their necklines and some are even using their v-necks as a nod to their love lives.
Less fabric on top is definitely more for the likes of Helen Flanagan and Khloe Kardashian and experts say the trend has become an intentional and empowering move.

@mrscmcguinnessChristine McGuinness is proud to flaunt her curves and Judi believes there’s a meaning behind it[/caption]
Body language pro Judi James says having cleavage on show is no longer about ‘pea-cocking’ – a way of attracting the opposite sex – but it’s now a case of ‘I choose to,’ rather than ‘I have to’ for strong and independent women.
Judi explains: “Cleavages used to be seen as a form of sexual advertising or flirtation that purely pandered to men.
“All that balcony bra-uplifting and compressing was primarily seen as a form of pea-cocking to attract a mate.
“As a symbol of projected strength the breast speaks for itself.
Judi JamesBody language pro
“But this new trend of plunging necklines and flashing sides looks much more like a signal of power and independence from women who do it because they want to and no longer need to in terms of getting attention, male approval or even jobs.
“It’s also often a statement made by women who are single or in on-off relationships that are sometimes single-sex.
“This can really show off your body confidence and make a bold statement, whether you’re challenging norms or just expressing yourself, both with others and within yourself.”
“And like any good red carpet look it can also be a competitive gesture.”
Judi says it’s on the red carpet where women usually vie to wear the deepest plunge, like singer Lady Gaga and actress Julianne Moore, who wore gowns with a plunging neck line, at the Venice Film Festival this year.
Judi adds: “‘Who dares wins’ is currently the mantra in the celebrity world, where women vie to wear the deepest plunge (Sometimes right down to the lower pelvis) or show off everything apart from the actual nipples.
“As a symbol of projected strength the breast speaks for itself.
“Puffed up and splayed chests are linked with superior power and alpha status so this female version can project a similar sense of status superiority.”
From chaotic but cute to fierce and confident, Judi takes the plunge and reveals the ‘V’ nice secret messages celebs are sending out in their snaps…
Helen Flanagan
Chaotic but cute

The actress, 33, has revealed her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot has stepped into the stepfather role with her three children – Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.
The former Coronation Street star, who shares her kids with ex Scott Sinclair, left fans gobsmacked last week when she disclosed that she’d been secretly dating despite her stint on E4’s Celebs Go Dating.
Judi says: “Helen seems keen to use her cleavage displays to impress the message on the world that she is now all grown up and doing things on her own terms despite what can often be seen as a chaotic love life.
It’s a statement pose and suggests she’s ready to take on the world
Judi James
“Her head tilt shows a desire to be liked and to gain approval but the emphatic cleavage looks like a gesture of choice to register some more steely sense of life objectives behind the cuteness.”
Christine McGuiness
Careful but strong statement

Christine and her ex-husband Paddy McGuiness announced they would be divorcing after 11 years of marriage in 2022.
Since then, the reality star, 36, has been regularly uploading sexy pictures to her Instagram and isn’t afraid to show off her curves.
Judi says: “This is breast plate-power from Christine, who has her boobs carefully and impressively encased in a structured, metallic-looking top.
“Amazonian warrior women were always said to bare their breasts as a sign of being battle-fit and Christine’s elegant, statement pose here suggests she’s ready to take on the world now since her split with Paddy.”
Sofia Vegara
Fierce and confident

The Hollywood actress split from her husband Joe Manganiello earlier this year and the pair were proud to announce that it was an amicable one.
The 52-year-old revealed that her marriage broke up because her “husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mum.
But her fashion sense proves that it hasn’t stopped her from feeling empowered.
It’s a show-stopping display of confidence with an ironic twist in terms of Hollywood imagery
Judi James
Judi says: “Sofia might have hit our screens as a woman with one of the most impressive cleavages on TV but now she’s shown her Emmy and Golden Globe nominated acting chops – and established herself as a businesswoman – she could clearly keep her assets under wraps for the rest of her working life if she wanted.
“But here she chooses to display a deep cleavage in what looks like a statement of pride, informing us she is in control and doing things on her own terms now.
“This wide display of breast looks like the ultimate power move by a fiercely confident successful woman coming out of a marriage split.”
Khloe Kardashian
Independent and determined
InstagramKhloe is suggesting independence and a determination with her dress choice[/caption]
She is one of the most prominent members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, which means her personal life has been well documented.
The reality star, 39, has had a roller coaster of a ride with her love life including with her former partner NBA star Tristan Thompson, who is the father of her two children.
Now that she is single, Khloe shows no remorse – especially in the figure-hugging black dress.
Judi says: “One glance at Khloe’s wide, squared shoulders, her raised chin plus hard stare to the camera and that gleaming, self-supporting cleavage shows Khloe is baring to look daring rather than sweetly man-pleasing.
Amazonian warrior women were always said to bare their breasts as a sign of being battle-fit
Judi James
“This body language suggests independence and a determination to live life on her own terms now and date who she pleases, regardless of controversy.
“Khloe has now hit 40 and, with her ex Tristan still in her life, this is a pose that suggests ‘I got this’ in terms of resilience and inner confidence.”

Known for her vibrant personality and impressive career, Denise is clearly having fun whilst she lives the life as a single woman.
The 49-year-old was previously married to actor Lee Mead, with whom they share their daughter Betsy together, before they split in 2013.

From July 2014 she was in a relationship with commodities trader Eddie Boxshall; they lived together in Chelmsford, but that ended in January 2022.
Now Denise, who reportedly joined celebrity dating app Raya earlier this year, is clearly taking the plunge with her fashion and proving that she is empowered.
Judi says: “Bared to the waistline, Denise’s boobs hang naturally with an impressive cleavage that doesn’t look pushed inward or upward to get any unnatural effect.
“This looks like an ‘On my terms’ body language statement despite the nod to the heaving-bosom glamour of the 50’s.
“It’s a show-stopping display of confidence with an ironic twist in terms of Hollywood imagery, showing her ex or any other guys watching that she is un-dented and oozing body confidence post-split.”
Is the plunging neckline back in fashion?
By Fabulous’ Deputy Fashion Editor, Abby McHale
Buying clothes with a plunging neckline such as a V shape or sweetheart style can often be the most flattering.
It draws your eye towards your decolletage which is a very flattering area of your body.
There’s nothing wrong with showing off a bit of cleavage, it’s part of your body and shouldn’t be hidden away, no matter how big or small your chest is.
I’m all for it, however, if I do wear something low cut then I often find that I wear something less revealing on the bottom half to balance out my look.
This could mean wearing a low cut top tucked into a pair of jeans, with a blazer over the top to smarten it up, as showing off cleavage doesn’t have to be smutty.
It really is all about balance and what you feel comfortable wearing.
