SHOPPERS are racing to the tills as Dunnes Stores is currently having a big spring sale – with prices from €5.
The retailer has been bringing out its spring/summer range, and to clear some space is reducing the price of the old stock.
One shopper has urged fashion fans to rush to their local store to grab items from the “phenomenal sale”.
TikTok user Aisling Powell shared a video to the platform for her followers.
In the caption of the post, she wrote: “Run don’t walk to Dunnes, they have massive sale on at the minute, everything was €5/10/20 be quick before it’s all gone.”
Throughout the video she shows off the range of items that have drastically been reduced in price, offering a great bargain to shoppers.
First she shows a gorgeous black blazer hanging on the rail, which originally cost €40 but is now just €10.
This would be perfect to wear into the office, or even on a night out.
She then shows a leopard print maxi skirt that is also reduced to €10, which would pair very well with the blazer for a summer office look when heading for drinks after.
The viral embroidered black jacket with white detailing is also on sale, originally costing €40 and is now down to €10.
She said: “Everything was around €10 and €15.”
She then shows a blue padded coat that is perfect for the colder weather, reduced to just €20.
She then shows a range of handbags, including the foldable tote bags and smaller purses.
When showing the smaller bags she described them as “so cute”, but doesn’t reveal if any of the bags are reduced or not.
In a caption inserted into the video, she wrote: “Run to Dunnes fast the sale is phenomenal. Be fast before everything is gone”.
Next she shows a rail full of pyjamas, saying they are reduced to just €5.
She then shows the Helen Steele tracksuit bottoms which originally cost €25 but are now just €10, along with Helen Steele half-zip sweaters for €15.
Next she shows a stunning black dress with buttons up the centre and a zip around the waist, reduced to just €20.
The retailer has reduced the cropped t-shirts to just €5, which are perfect for wearing with almost any type of bottoms.
She then shows a denim waistcoat that is reduced to €15, describing it as “gorgeous” and adding that it is “really stretchy”.
Aisling then shows a grey blazer reduced to €20, noting that she picked one up.
The tied waistcoats, which are dupes for the more expensive Ganni cardigans, are now reduced to €15 and are available in black and cream.
The short sleeve waistcoats would be perfect for wearing with a skirt or pair of jeans when heading on a night out.
They also have the red long-sleeve cardigan with ties up the centre reduced, along with a denim dress down to €20.
She also picked up a black and white printed jacket that was down to just €20, and showed a gorgeous cream coloured fur gilet which is also reduced.
She then shows a grey tracksuit with white lines on both the top and bottoms, revealing that it was €14 for both pieces.
The viral barrel jeans are also reduced now, costing just €10 down from €30.
Aisling showed a gorgeous brown fur coat reduced to €20, saying she was “sorry” she didn’t end up buying it.
The retailer has reduced its cow print shirt to just €10, along with black maxi dresses for €10 and a range of knitted cardigans also on offer.
Shoppers will have to be quick if they want to get their hands on any of the reduced items, as they are set to fly off the shelves.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
