A SAVVY saver has revealed how he never pays full price on his shopping by using Facebook’s Ad Library to get discount codes.
The bargain hunter posted on TikTok under his username georgebf999 explaining how to use the hack while shopping online.

He said the first step is to search “Facebook Ads Library” on Google and click on the website.
Then, choose the “Search all” category and type the name of the shop or brand you want to get a discount for in the “Search for ads by keyword or advertiser name” box.
The TikTok sensation said once you hit search, a list of adverts for the shop should appear – some of which will contain discount codes for items on sale.
He used the flower shop Bloom & Wild as an example.

He copied and pasted a discount code he found on the Facebook Ads Library website and applied it to the checkout on the flower shop’s website.
The discount code he used – which was M3D2 – was a Mother’s Day offer the shop was running.
He managed to knock a tenner off his bouquet, getting them for £20 instead of £30.
His post was liked by hundreds of thousands of people and shared by over 45,000 fans.

Facebook Ad Library isn’t the only website you can use to get money off your next haul – and you need to make sure you shop around to get a bargain.
Make sure you do your research before buying anything online and compare prices to find the best deal.
If you go on to Latest Deals – a website dedicated to discount codes – you can hunt to see if there’s a promotion you can take advantage
Other discount code sites include Vouchercodes, which can also help you save.
How do cashback websites work?
They promise to earn you money on your shopping – but how do cashback websites work?
- Cashback sites agree offers with retailers which they pass on to customers
- This can vary from a set amount of money off whatever you are buying, or a percentage of the cost of your purchase
- The sums range from pennies for groceries to more than £100 for some mobile or broadband contracts
- You have to make your purchases by clicking through from the cashback site
- Because the sites drive traffic to retailers, they earn money from brands they support
- Membership of most sites is free – although some offer premium subscriptions which you pay more for.
If you sign up to apps from your favourite shops, you might be in for some bargains.
For example, McDonald’s was flogging triple cheeseburgers for 99p instead of £2.19 on Monday to app users.
You can also get cashback every time you shop if you use certain websites or apps.
For example, apps like Shopmium, Check-outSmart and Quidco let you claim money back on some products in your supermarket shop.
