The retailer doesn’t have an online store due to its budget business model. Finance Chief, John Bason previously told MirrorOnline: “Look at a £2 T-shirt. Everyone think it’s clickety-click but one third of clothes get returned.
“That means someone has to pick it up, someone has to deliver it, someone in the store has to take it back, refold it. It doesn’t work at the lower price point.”

And while an official online Primark store still hasn’t been made fans have shared different hacks to get Primark goods online.
You can currently find clothes, perfume and other products online on eBay from sellers. However, due to a surge in demand currently prices may be inflated.
Secondly, there are unofficial Primark essentials on Amazon. They include a whole range of homeware products and pyjamas, as well as men’s, children’s and women’s clothing.
Primark has previously confirmed it does not have a commercial relationship with Amazon, stating: “We do not have a commercial partnership with Amazon and any Primark products which appear on the site are being re-sold by third parties, at higher prices.
“We encourage our customers to visit us in our stores to find the best value.”
She went viral on TikTok for sharing the little known hack where hungry fast food fans can bag a Maccie’s for better than half price.
TikTok user Caroline (@caroline.shops) shared the sneaky trick with her followers where McDonald’s lovers can get a burger and fries for £1.99, saying it works ‘every single time’.
The content creator shares numerous thrifty tips and tricks on her account along with her other passions for wigs and fashion.

So how can I get a Maccie’s for £1.99, I hear you ask. Well, according to Caroline you should order something cheap such as a small soft drink at McDonalds and make sure to get a receipt.
She explains that on the receipt, there is a web address and a code. If you head over to the website and enter the code you will be asked to give feedback on your recent Maccie’s visit.
But Caroline has shared that if you skip past answering the questions by selecting that you do not want to answer, you will eventually come to the end where you will receive a voucher code.
This code will allow you to get a Big Mac and fries or a McPlant and fries for just £1.99.

According to Caroline, this thrifty trick also works on a McChicken Sandwich and fries, a quarter pounder with cheese and fries, a Filet-o-Fish with fries or six McNuggets with fries.
As she says: “This code or voucher and go and get the food – you then end up with a drink and burger and fries for £3.18, which is less than half of what it would usually be.”
If you’d rather order a medium drink it will cost you 50p more but you’ll still be saving quite a bit on a meal that would usually cost around £6.49.
And, another way to bag yourself a free meal is by playing the McDonald’s Monopoly, which is running at the moment. Caroline points this out in her clip also.
Social media users jumped to the comments to say how they are already onto this cheeky tip, with one clever person suggesting: “Order a dip next time it’s 10p still get a receipt.”
Another commented: “I have been using this for years.” And a third said: “I do this every time. I also do this all whilst logging into the app at the ordering machines so I earn points too!!”
Meanwhile, others had no idea about the handy hack and thanked Caroline for bringing it to their attention. One person typed: “I didn’t actually know this, thanks!” A second put: “Smart move,” added a second.
And, a third said: “Thinking about all the mcdonalds receipts I’ve thrown out.”
A man has gone viral on TikTok as he shared the strange method of how he cooks a fry-up, with some labelling it as ‘genius’.
TikToker Lawrence (@lawrencetiktok90) stunned followers with the rather different way he likes to make a Full English.
There’s already a huge debate around what does and doesn’t belong on the plate of a full brekky, with many who believe hash browns do not and others claiming neither do black or white puddings.

Afterall, the dish is a British staple and has been known to be the cure for many a hangover. However, we all don’t seem to disagree much over the way to put one together.
But people have been left absolutely gobsmacked at seeing how Lawrence chooses to cook his fried breakfast.
Apart from the tinned items, the rest of the food is usually fried – except those who choose to make it a little healthier and use the grill.
@lawrencetiktok90
The usual cooking method means multiple pans are being used across the hobs at once and involves quite a bit of washing up to do.
Well, not when Lawrence cooks. He likes to pack all the ingredients into just one pan, including the tinned items – and the tins aswell by the way.
In the video he wraps his hand in a tea-towel and warns his audience: “Be careful it’s not too hot.” He then removes the lid off the beans he describes as ‘lovely’, and slops them out onto the plate.
@lawrencetiktok90
Then he carefully opens the tin of plum tomatoes and scoops some out onto a plate, while using the tea towel to hold the heated tin.
If you’re not a fan of the clean up job after cooking a Full English then this hack could be the way forward. The one pan does make for less washing up and some have even called the technique ‘genius’.
Commenting on the clip, one user simply said: “That sir is genius.” While another put: “Easiest way to heat up food while camping keeping it in the tin but never thought of doing it at home.”
Someone else wrote: “Lawrence with the 200 IQ cooking move.” While someone who clearly hates doing the dishes typed: “One pan dinner, love it.” And another added: “This is pure gold!”
Others weren’t as convinced by the idea, as one penned: “Hazardous.” And someone commented: “The tea towel dipping into the food upset me more than the tins on the pan.”
Another asked: “How do you know that the tin is hygienic to be on the pan with the other food (sorry I’m a bit ocd).”
Completely against the idea, a fourth said: “Nah. Beans and tomatoes cooked in the can IN THE PAN is bananas.”
Baked beans brand Heinz has announced it will be launching a range of new flavours of its baked beans, which is sure to have fans divided.
The new flavours are sure to add a little spice to the tomatoey blend of sauce and beans as it brings out three new curry flavours.
The new twist on the original will see them come in the flavours of Tikka, Jalfrezi and Vindaloo, and will be available to shop in Asda from this Thursday (October 5th).

The launch coincides with National curry Week which celebrates traditional Eastern cuisine which became a favourite dish among Brits.
Now, households can spice up their beans on toast with all the taste of their favourite takeaway.
Around 40% of Brits already admit to adding some form of spice to their beans, but now they don’t have to with these three new flavours.
Heinz
The Tikka Masala beans come in a creamy warmly spiced sauce, the Jalfrezi has a medium kick to it, while the Vindaloo is much more fiery and intense.
But will the new curry range go down as well with baked beans fans? We’ll have to wait and see. The manufacturer already sells up to 2.5 million tins of beans a day.
Alessandra de Dreuille, director of meals and insights for Heinz, said: “We think it’s about time that two of the nation’s favourite dishes, curry and Heinz Beanz, came together, and as soon as we heard that Brits were adding spice to their Beanz, we knew we were on to something!”
Heinz
According to The Sun, the new curry range announcement comes after some Heinz fans realised the company had cut the number of beans and upped the amount of sauce in their cans this year.
The 415g cans went from 51% beans to 50%. It works out as around an estimated 10 fewer beans per tin.
Meanwhile, the price has gone up from £1 to £1.40 in the past year.
