When it comes to buying bras, or anything for that matter, I’m what can only be described as a ‘massive bargain hunter’. It’s extremely rare that I’ll buy anything full price, and my lingerie addiction rarely evades this philosophy. The good news is there are so so so many options for frugal frillies – so for those of you waiting on payday or your student loan, you needn’t wait to kit out your top drawer!
Sales
It sounds obvious, but sale racks are a great shout when hunting for a bargain, plus it means that you can try before you buy. I’m a regular at the Debenhams blue cross sale!
Voucher Codes
Whenever I find myself sucked into an eCommerce website with a checkout full of bras (and this happens a lot!), I will – without fail – check out a voucher code website like myvouchercodes.co.uk for a discount or free delivery code. It always sweetens the deal when buying anything full price that you just can’t wait for.
Leia Lingerie
Next up is Leia Lingerie’s Outlet, which features a shed-load of Eveden brand bras for a fraction of the RRP. It’s perfect for when you want to treat yourself to something which is gorgeous but not strictly practical, like this little beauty from Freya:
Ooh La La Black Body
Brastop
A failsafe stop for bargain bras and swimwear is Brastop, simply because of the huge choice available and frequent deals on offer. There’s always some kind of voucher code, free delivery deal or reduction that you just can’t refuse. I especially love their wide selection of full bust swimwear.

With so many great options online and on the High Street, there just aren’t any excuses for anyone to go without updating their lingerie drawer. I’ve seen too many girls skip buying lingerie essentials as they’re deemed too expensive – instead supporting their boobs in ill fitting bras or – even worse – sticking with the old, worn out bras that they’ve had for years just to save a buck or two. I remember my days at University like it was yesterday. It’s actually the very same time that I started this blog as I learnt just how important the perfect fitting bra is and how much of a difference it can make to the way you look and feel.
Don’t Match
Everyone can spare £10-£20 for a bra which fits, even if you don’t buy the full matching set and buy some co-ordinates from somewhere like Primark. Just think: for the cost of one trip to the SU you could probably afford something from one of these outlets. Have I missed anywhere? What are your recommended destinations for cheaper lingerie?
