I’m a mum & got my daughter an entire summer wardrobe for cheap – Primark was best, it had a £1.50 bargain
A MUM has revealed how she set herself a shopping challenge to get her daughter an entire summer wardrobe for cheap.
Lola, who is a first time mum, found that her daughter has just recently grown out of a lot of her clothes after having a growth spurt.
She decided to take her daughter to Primark to bag some Summer pieces and was pleasantly surprised at how little she spent.
Lola documented this by filming her shopping trip, which was then shared by Primark’s Instagram page.
Talking about Primark’s Summer range for kids, she says: “Everything is bright and colourful and definitely giving Summer.
“The temperature at the moment obviously isn’t great, so I also picked up some transitional pieces.
“Now that she is a bit older, I love that she can pick up some outfits as well.”
Lola showed off some of the kids range, which starts at £1.50, to the camera.
Lola herself got a two pack, pink, flower dress for £4.50 and a yellow and orange top and legging set for £3.50.
Lola adds: “The best part was that I was able to pick out seven outfits for less than £40, which is a very successful shopping trip.”
Their kids Summer range isn’t the only thing shoppers are rushing to bag, as they are also raving about Primark brand new Stanley cup dupes in a bigger size.
Primark has released even bigger cups of its Stanley dupes – and shoppers are going wild for them.
The retail giant now stocks 40oz cups in pink, beige and leopard print – a double in size from its first 20oz dupes.
The 40oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug with Straw comes in pink and ‘mocha’ for just £10.
And as it’s made from stainless steel, your water will stay cool for hours.
“Holding 40oz (over one litre!), this large stainless steel travel mug is perfect for ensuring you stay hydrated throughout the day,” Primark bosses said.
“With a handle for easy transportation, it comes with a metal straw for easy sipping.
“While the flat concave design means you can rest it on your desk, kitchen counter and even store it in your car’s cup holder with ease.
“Arriving in a fabulous pink and chic brown hue, you’ll love having this cup by your side.”
There’s also a beige leopard print version.
Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.
