THERE’S a shop you’ve never heard of that sells top brands like Haribo and Finish and prices start from 49p.
Only5pounds.com is an online retailer that sells a range of products including homeware, garden items and food.

It launched online in 2015 before opening its first store in 2018.
It sells popular brands like Haribo, Fairy, Finish and Nivea.
And some of the products are even cheaper than Poundland and B&M.
For example, shoppers can pick up a packet of Haribo sweets for as little as 49p.
In comparison, Poundland sells the same packet for £1 while B&M has them for £1.25.
If you’re after cleaning products, you can order Finish dishwasher tablets for £5 but they’re around £9 at B&M.
These sorts of savings all add up so it’s definitely worth considering ordering from Only5Pounds.com.
Shoppers can order online – there’s no minimum spend to qualify.

Delivery from Only5Pounds.com starts from £2.95 and then goes up to £7.95.
This depends on which courier you choose.
It’s always worth comparing prices across different stores before you shop.
Even if a product is cheaper online, you might save more by going to your local supermarket and shopping in store.
You can use comparison sites like Trolley.co.uk or ComparetheMarket.
Make sure you factor in delivery costs too – it might end up cheaper for you to walk to your local store if you’re able to.
How else can I save on my supermarket shop?
There are plenty of other ways to save on your supermarket shop.
You can try looking out for yellow or red stickers on products which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh you’ll have to eat it fast, or freeze it to have another time.
Sometimes even timing your shop to stock up just as items are discounted on the shelves can help you get the best bargains – lots of shoppers have said this is in the evening typically.
Making a list could save you some money too as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
That means going for “own” or “value” type products instead of “finest” or “luxury” lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes as well where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
