Shoppers race to Claire’s as bags are slashed to just £5 from today – but you’ll have to be quick

BAG lovers are racing to Claire’s to stock up after the retailer has launched a £5 sale in stores.

A staff member took to Facebook to share how she was discounting all bags from today (Friday), and also promoting a “buy three, get three free” bags for £15 deal too.

Various bags and backpacks on display, all on sale for £5.

This included bags themed on Hello Kitty, Gabby’s Dollhouse and the Nightmare Before Christmas.

On the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she revealed: “All sale bags going to £5 Friday the 10th in Claire’

“Claire’s own branded bags are included in the 343 so 6 bags for £15.”

One shopper asked how she knew about the sale in advance, and she explained: “ I work there and labelled they all £5 this evening for tomorrow.”

Many people seemed keen to snap up some bargains – and some have already been successful.

One person who had seen the post wrote: “Thank you for posting this, I got 6 bags for £15 down from £156!”

Another added: “thankyou we got 6 bags for £15.”

A third wrote: “Thank you,6 items for £5 because I had £10 in rewards.”

You’ll have to be quick if you want to walk away with some discounts.

One shopper said her shop assistant had said it would last until Sunday, meaning you have the weekend to have a quick browse.
