SAINSBURY’S shoppers have rushed to buy a Shark vacuum slashed from £300 to £100 in a clearance sale.

If you want to leave your home clean and fresh this summer you’ll need to be quick before shelves are empty.

One customer recently spotted the handy hoover in their local Sainsbury’s branch.

They posted a photo of the steal on the B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals group on Facebook.

They said: “Not sure if allowed but Sainsbury’s better then half price shark hoovers.”

Customers could save 66 per cent on the Shark hoover if they bought it on sale with savings of £200.

The post has notched up over 460 Likes and almost 500 comments from shoppers keen to snap up the bargain item.

Viewers were stunned that the £300 vacuum was going for just £100 and took to the comments section to weigh in with their opinions.

One commented: “Best hoover I’ve had..far better than Dyson.”

While another said: “That’s what I need!”

However, other social media users were sceptical of the vacuum.

A user wrote: “Don’t waste your money this one is not good.”

Another agreed and called the product the “worst hoover I have ever had”.

Do bear in mind 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 Sainsbury’s store using the locator tool on the website.

It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.

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.

Sainsbury’s has been ramping up savings on its products this summer.

Recently, shoppers were shocked after they found a posh ready meal marked down from £6 to 10p.

The meal in question was bought at her local Doncaster Sainsbury’s before the best before date.

Elsewhere, Argos, which is owned by Sainsbury’s has also been offering savings this summer.

Shoppers went crazy for a children’s Chad Valley Easel set marked down to £34.50 from £115.

How to shop for bargains

When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around to make sure you are not being over charged.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.

Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.

Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
