ADDING some tiling to your bathroom or kitchen is a quick way to give the space a touch of glam.
But it can be pricey if you’re after the latest in-trend colours and styles, with costs adding up quickly.
One lucky shopper on a mission to secure some tiles spotted an absolute bargain in her local branch of Wickes, and posted her find to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
Sina Jagpal shared her haul with the group’s 2.6 million members, who share deals, offers and money-saving tips with each other.
Sina wrote: “I got these for 1p for each box so a whopping 2p.
“Originally £21 a pack of tiles but they are scanning at 1p in Wickes apparently due to the line changing!
“Even the man at the till called a manager as he said he didn’t think it was right but it was!
“My lucky day hey!”
Sina added a pic of her bargains, two boxes of gorgeous sage green Cosmopolitan style wall tiles.
The Wickes website describes the tiles as “a timeless small format range of ceramic tiles in a stunning gloss finish.”
The tiles can be placed in line, in a herringbone effect or brick bond, meaning there’s loads of different patterns and designs you can use them for.
And they’re perfect for modernising an old room.
The Wickes website even recommends using coloured grout to make the colour of the tiles pop.
The glossy tiles are easy to wipe clean, making them easy to keep looking fresh.
They’re also water resistant, so they are perfect for washrooms and kitchens.
On the Wickes website, happy customers have given the tiles an incredible 4.8 star rating.
Other members of the Facebook bargain-hunting group couldn’t believe Sina’s luck.
One person said: “Well done you right place right time.”
Another person chimed in: “Omg amazing!”
And somebody else said: “Well done.”
