Have you bagged a bargain that was originally out of stock?

If you find something's unavailable in the sales, don't just give up. Goods come in and out of stock at speed, as shoppers return them or abandon online baskets. So check later, as things can change quickly.

We'd love to hear examples of when you've bagged bargains that were originally out of stock. (For example, I've been known to sit there refreshing the Zara Kids sale page every 15 minutes until I got what I wanted!)

See our Shopping Secrets guide for more tips.

    I got a pair of gold sparkly shoes from marks that were advertised as the must have shoes for Christmas and were advertised on their Facebook page, they were OOS so I kept the tab open and refreshed every morning and evening and after 2 weeks they were back in stock :D


    I also saw a swimming costume that I really wanted from Bon marche in April and had to refresh every day for a week to come back into stock.
