HIGH street chain Matalan has launched an online clearance sale with prices starting from 50p.
Customers will find up to 80% off clothing for kids, women and men, as well as homeware products.
As all physical Matalan stores remain shut, the deals are only available online.
This does mean you may end up paying extra for delivery.
Standard delivery costs £3.95 on orders under £40. If you spend over this amount, delivery is free.
Sadly, click and collect is not available on sale items – so that includes everything in the clearance.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
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.
Here are some that we recommend:
- 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 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.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Before you part ways with your cash, you should still compare prices in case you find the same product – or something similar – elsewhere.
You should also keep in mind that you’re only really making a saving if you were planning on making a purchase anyway.
Here are some of our top picks from the Matalan sale, or you can find everything included here.

There are several different designs of face masks that are reduced to 50p in Matalan, including these pink ones with a rainbow pattern.
Children under the age of 11 aren't required by law to wear face masks, while those under the age of three aren't advised to wear them at all.
Parents should always supervise their kids when they're wearing a face mask.
