A SAVVY shopper has revealed the little-known clearance store you need to go to if you want to nab a haul full of bargains.
So if you’re on a budget but want to get yourself some new holiday clothes, or maybe some cute homeware items, you’ll have to check this out.
Rhi, a content creator from Wales took to social media to give her followers a close-up look inside an epic outlet store.
Rhi took a trip to the Matalan Clearance Store, in Newport, South Wales, where she spotted rails of affordable clothes, with prices starting from just 70p – yes, you heard that correctly.
Thrilled with her purse-friendly finds, Rhi beamed: “They’ve got 30% off everything in store at the moment and that’s on top of the already insane prices – look at all the shoes they’ve got.
“You can get absolute bargains, everything you need for your holidays here and they’ve even got loads of school shoes as well.”
Not only did Rhi spot sandals, swimwear and more, but she also found masses of kids’ clothes too.
She continued: “I just wanted to show a little bit of how big this place actually is, you can’t even tell that much from this video, but it is massive and there was so much stuff, so many different colours, everything you could possibly need.”
If that wasn’t enough, Rhi was also left impressed with the store’s interior items, with all things from cushions and mirrors, to vases and bedding.
Clearly overjoyed, she expressed: “They’ve got a massive homeware section as well, there’s really nice stuff there and they had bedding as low as £4 and then remember, 30% off on top.”
As she headed to the checkout, Rhi spotted children’s sliders and slippers for just 70p each, as she said: “Then you get to the till – look at these bargains, absolutely insane.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @rhi.life.xo, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 141,200 views in just two days.
Rhi’s video has also amassed 3,071 likes, 158 comments and a whopping 2,514 shares.
Social media users were gobsmacked by the huge selection of bargains and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.
It’s always discounted up to 70% off but they currently have 30% off those already discounted prices

Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s’ shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They’ve been on runway models’ arms at nearly ever designer show – think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it’s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The ’80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we’re likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good – but only as it’s just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life – until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S ’25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
A third commented: “I was here the other day! Madness how cheap it is and even cheaper at the checkouts!!”
At the same time, someone else claimed: “I went yesterday got a bag full for £30.”
Madness how cheap it is and even cheaper at the checkouts!!

Whilst another begged: “Sshhh!!!! This is top secret.”
Meanwhile, one bargain hunter wondered: “Is it only discounted at certain times?”
To this, Rhi replied and confirmed: “No it’s always discounted up to 70% off but they currently have 30% off those already discounted prices.”
