Overview
- Regional outlets on Friday reported that Pippa Ashton’s quick stop for garden and bathroom basics at Home Bargains turned into a £68.70 haul.
- She listed laundry detergent, a large Head & Shoulders bottle, two Lucozade Sport Blue Force drinks, a £9.99 rucksack for her son, and two bags of compost among her buys.
- Ashton also chose a small Buddha garden ornament, which she joked was buckled into her car’s front seat for the ride home.
- She compared prices in aisle to Amazon, saying the shampoo worked out about £1 cheaper in store, while Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program could drop the price further on repeat orders.
- The trip shows the chain’s mix of low-cost staples and seasonal stock, with Father’s Day gifts, luggage and novelty items like a giant Werther’s tin nudging extra, unplanned purchases.
