SHOPPERS are flocking to a major supermarket to bag bargain football shirts ahead of the Euros 2024 final on Sunday.
You might have got this far in the Euros without investing in footie tat – but the final is the time to go all out.
Sainsbury’s has slashed the price of footie shirts by up to 70% at it’s Tu clothing sections in-stores.
It comes as Google says searches for “football shirts” are up 798% since England’s win against the Netherlands on Wednesday.
And shoppers will want to be quick to get their hands on the last discounted stock Sainsbury’s has to offer ahead of Sunday.
Reacting to the news on Facebook, one shopper said: “I need to get one.
“I got one today, and it was only £4 with 70% off,” said another.
In response, another shopper said: “Omg, I want one.”
Shoppers have been able to bag the official FA England white and red Three Lions crest football shirts for just £4.50 – down from £15.
The same children’s shirts have had their price cut by 70% from £6 to just £1.80.
Other parents have bagged a white shirt with the England flag for their kids for just £1.05 – down from £3.50.
These offers are all now sold out online at tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk.
However, if you’re lucky, your local store may still have stock.
With the Euros final kicking off in just 24 hours, be aware that some stores will have completely sold out.

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
Tesco will have mixed opening hours on Sunday.
The UK’s biggest supermarket said it will shut 1,800 Express stores across the country at 7.30pm instead of the usual 10pm or 11pm, to give staff members time off to watch the game.
The alteration will mean thousands of shop workers can head home or to the pub in time for kick-off – and they won’t have their pay docked.
All UK branches will open as normal on Monday.
Sainsbury’s has confirmed its smaller stores and petrol stations across England will close early on Sunday.
Like Tesco, more than one thousand branches will now close at the earlier time of 7.30pm instead of 10pm or 11pm.
The German discount store Lidl has confirmed that all its England stores will open one hour later on Monday, irrespective of if England wins or not.
