There are always ways to save money at Everything5pounds.com*, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs further.
Ways to save include:
Check out promotional categories. Everything5pounds sometimes has specific categories where you'll be able to select a free item - you'll just pay postage.
Sign up to its newsletter. If you sign up to the Everything5pounds newsletter* (scroll down to the bottom right of the page) you'll be the first to hear about new items and offers. It's also worth keeping an eye on our newsletter for exclusive codes and deals.
Keep an eye on Facebook. New items are added every day, if you check the Everything5pounds Facebook page you'll be the first to see items going live at 9am the following day.
Buy in bulk. If you've several people to shop for, or can club together with friends, the most postage you'll pay is £20 on orders of up to £170. For orders over £170, the £20 Royal Mail option will disappear and be replaced by a more expensive DPD option, so be sure to check. Postage is usually based on size and weight, so you'd normally pay more for, eg, three pairs of shoes than three tops.
Refer a friend. When you're placing an order, at the end there's an option to refer a friend for the chance to receive £5 off each. See full T&Cs* (click 'Promotional voucher usage').
Check out similar retailers, eg, H&M, New Look, Zara. If you're not committed to buying from Everything5pounds, check out our deals from H&M, New Look, Asos, Next, Topshop, and Zara, where MoneySavers told us they have previously received products (with the labels clipped/marked) from.

Online retailer Everything5pounds.com* is having a clearance sale, with clothes as cheap as £1, and accessories from 40p. It sources unsold stock from top high-street and online brands – in the past MoneySavers have told us they've seen M&S, Topshop, H&M, Dorothy Perkins, and New Look goods – and other unbranded items direct from manufacturers.
What's more, we've blagged free standard delivery (normally £3.95+ on orders under £50) when you enter the code MSEFINALDEAL at the checkout by 11.59pm on Sunday 18 August. The code can only be used once per person.
When we checked on Tuesday 13 August, there were over 4,400 items in the clearance sale – Everything5pounds says it's the biggest sale it's done and it's doing it to clear out its warehouse. Here are a few examples we found with a decent range of sizes available at time of checking:
Gathered shoulder printed mini dress* – £1.20, was £5.95
Ruched heeled boots* – £1.50, were £5.95
Wrapped textured top* – £3, was £5.95
Chantily lace overlay fitted dress* – £4.20, was £7.50
Plain long-sleeve shirt* – £4, was £7.95
As it's a clearance sale, items are likely to go quick and popular sizes may be limited (you can filter items that match your size).
Usually, you won’t know in advance if what you'll get is branded and most items will come de-tagged, so if you only want branded items, which could normally cost up to £50 each, it can be a bit of a game to find them (see 'More info' below) – but as you can see from the image below, they're not always that well disguised.
If you're worried about its legitimacy, Everything5pounds told us: "All our branded items are real. We don't sell fake items or knock-offs. We do sell similar items but they would never contain the brand logo/name."
It’s not guaranteed everything you pick will be from a well-known brand or store and if it is, it may have the tags clipped or otherwise marked to prevent returns to the original store.
Everything5pounds told us: "Branded and non-branded stock varies depending on what we are able to buy and time of year. There is never a set amount but there is always something. We deal with loads of suppliers so it can be extremely varied at times."
You won't be told where an item is from online but it's worth checking the photos closely – sometimes you can see a logo or other branding which can tip you off. It's also worth checking the reviews – they won't mention the actual retailer, but often say the item's from a "well-known store". You may even recognise the item from the high street.
Feedback has been generally positive and as MoneySavers know, branded doesn't always mean better. In 2019, we put this to the test and asked 10+ people at MSE Towers whether they could tell the difference between a selection of branded items from Everything5pounds.com with the labels cut out and non-branded – most said they'd be happy with either.
The odd item could smell like it had been kept in storage, but nothing a quick wash wouldn’t sort out. It’s always worth checking the comments online next to each item as often you’ll find feedback on the quality as well as tips on sizing.
If you return an item because it's not to your liking, you'll get a refund but you'll have to pay delivery to get it back to Everything5pounds.com. However, if an item is sent in error (for example, size different than your order) or faulty, you'll be sent a pre-paid returns label. If you have any problems, you can contact customer services at sales@everything5pounds.com or give them a call on 0208 997 3331.
