A thrifty ASOS customer has left many in awe after snagging a pair of sought-after Adidas trainers for a mere £1.50. Amid the ongoing cost of living crisis , any discount or financial windfall can significantly boost one's mood.
This was indeed the case for the shopper who managed to secure a pair of original Adidas Gazelle trainers for less than the cost of a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. The fortunate shoe enthusiast snagged the bargain on ASOS , which offers a diverse range of clothing, shoes, accessories, makeup, skincare, and more from various brands, as well as its own in-house labels, much to the delight of fashion enthusiasts. The shopper shared her triumph on the popular Facebook page, Extreme Couponing and Bargains , dubbing it her "bargain of the year" and confirming the trainers had been delivered safely.
Stunned social media users flocked to the comments to express their astonishment, with one user inquiring, "How did you manage to get them for that price?" Another shopper replied, "they don't have to honour it. That's why a lot of orders get cancelled". Online shopping can be tricky when it comes to incorrect prices being listed, and according to the Citizens' Advice Bureau , one's legal rights depend on whether or not a "contract" exists with the retailer.
According to the bureau's website, your legal rights and contract with a company kick in either once you've paid for an item or once it's been dispatched to you, depending on the firm's terms and conditions.
