How To Save Money At FatFace (16 Awesome Tips!)
This post may contain Affiliate Links
Do you like FatFace clothing but perhaps aren’t too keen on the prices? In this post, I take a look at the ways you can save money at FatFace.
This post is all about how to save money when buying clothes at FatFace – From making the most of the Fatface sale to finding the best-discounted items on eBay.
One of the places my friends and I love to shop for clothes is at FatFace.
However, the prices can seem eye-wateringly expensive, especially if like me you tend to shop on Vinted for the majority of your clothing.
That said, the look and feel of the clothes tell you everything you need to about their quality and it’s far better to have a few expensive pieces of clothing that will last than lots of poorly made fast fashion pieces that won’t.
How To Save Money At FatFace (10 Awesome Tips!)
1. Find An Outlet Store
Outlet stores are great when it comes to saving money. While items might not all be current season, there are usually plenty of classic pieces that never go out of style.
You can expect discounts of up to 80% off the RRP which means huge savings. The dress pictured below was reduced from £65 to £25 but sadly was too small for me otherwise I would have bought it.
I took a pictured in the hope I could find it on eBay or similar.
FatFace has outlet stores at several outlet shopping centres including Clarks Village and Gloucester Quays.
2. Have A Look In TK Maxx
I was recently browsing in TK Maxx Barnstaple when I came across the lovely Fat Face jumper pictured below.
It was a bargain at just £12.99. Usually, FatFace jumpers tend to be around the £40 mark. The jumper is probably from last year’s collection.
As usual with TK Maxx you’ll need to do some serious rummaging – this was mixed in with all the other jumpers on the rail so I feel like I had a pretty lucky find.
3. Hit The Charity Shops
One of the great things about looking around charity shops is you can find some fantastic branded products at hugely discounted prices.
Often clothes in charity shops have hardly been worn or are even brand new with tags.
Last year I spotted a beautiful cream and red FatFace jumper in a local charity shop and I snapped it up for the bargain price of £6.
Although it didn’t have tags it honestly felt like it was brand new or had only been worn once or twice as it was in such good condition.
4. Visit The Fat Face Foundation/Charity Shop
If you’re lucky enough to live in Havant, the home of Fat Face’s head office in the U.K you’re in for a treat as they have just opened a dedicated FatFace charity shop.
It sells leftover outlet stock and all the profits go to charities and local community projects, so it’s a win-win for saving money and supporting local communities.
5. FatFace Military Discount
FatFace offers a military discount of 10% to members of the UK armed forces. All you need to do is present your military ID at the checkout.
Unfortunately, the discount cannot be used at outlet stores, on any FatFace sale items or in conjunction with any other offers in-store or to purchase gift cards.
FatFace offer a military discount for online purchases. To use the discount online, you will need to go through www.defencediscountservice.co.uk. and follow the instructions.
6. FatFace Student Discount
Fat Face offers students an online discount of 10%.
To use the discount students will need to verify their status as a student through student beans.com and then follow the instructions from there.
As far as I’m aware they will then be given a code to use at checkout.
7. Sign Up For the FatFace Newsletter
Signing up to the newsletter via the Fat Face website will get you 10% off your next online order or in-store purchase but cannot be used on sale items, gift vouchers or at FatFace concessions such as stores inside a John Lewis store.
It also has to be used within 30 days of receiving it so make sure you’ve found something you want to buy before signing up!
If you’re a big fan of Fat Face anyway then being signed up for the newsletter will be a great way to hear about the latest offers, discounts and sales so is worth doing.
8. Shop At FatFace Via A Cashback Site
As with any purchase, it’s always worth seeing if you can get some cash back on what you’re buying.
My preferred cashback website is Top Cashback and if you are not already a member you can sign up using this link. Cashback rates can vary so it’s worth checking a couple of sites before purchasing.
Cashback is never guaranteed and can’t always be used in conjunction with discount codes, but it’s still worth doing, especially if you’re planning on making a large purchase.
9. Follow FatFace On Social Media
If you’re a big Fat Face fan (and if you’re reading this then I’m assuming you are!) then it’s probably worth giving them a follow on Facebook.
While they mostly post pictures of full-price items there are also details of offers, work with their charity foundation and competitions to win Fat Face vouchers or vouchers with other brands. Plus you’ll be the first to see the Fatface sales when they happen.
10. Find A FatFace Second Hand Group On Facebook
While we’re talking about Facebook it’s worth mentioning there are also a load of Facebook Groups specifically for the buying and selling of Fat Face clothing – Find the full list on Facebook here.
11. Shop At John Lewis For Discounted FatFace Clothes
FatFace stores aren’t the only place to buy FatFace clothes, they often have concessions in department stores such as John Lewis.
Therefore if you’re trying to hunt down some Fat Face bargains don’t forget to take a look at the John Lewis website, especially during the January Sales.
12. Save Money At FatFace Blue Light Card Discount
FatFace offers a keyworker discount which can be accessed by using your Blue Light Card.
As with other discounts, it can’t be used on sale items or to purchase gift vouchers.
13. FatFace Discount For Teachers
FatFace also offers a 10% discount for Teachers which can be accessed via www.teacherperks.co.uk.
14. Shop FatFace On Vinted For HUGE Discounts
Vinted is my go-to for shopping preloved and if you like FatFace clothing then there are lots of bargains to be had.
Simply search ‘FatFace’ and the item you are looking for. You can filter your searches by size and price and you can save your search if it’s something you want to look at often. Liking an item means a seller might offer a lower price or you can offer a lower price if you’d like to.
While FatFace clothes do seem to hold their value quite well, if you’re searching often enough I think you can find some hugely discounted dresses, boots and jumpers.

15. Shop The FatFace Sale & Save
I find the best FatFace sale of the year tends to be the one right after Christmas, especially if you want to buy Christmas items for next year such as jumpers, gifts and pyjama bottoms.
Be warned though, that items sell out very quickly, especially in the most popular sizes so scout the thing you’d like pre-Christmas and be prepared to shop early on Boxing Day!
The end-of-summer sale is also quite perfect for grabbing items to put away for next year’s summer holidays.
16. Look For FatFace Voucher Codes
When shopping online, my advice is to always look for a voucher code if you aren’t entitled to any other discounts.
Typically these are worth more than cashback but cannot be used on sale items. Sometimes there might be an offer directly on the website or you may need to go through a voucher codes website.
If you love Fatface clothing as much as I do, I hope these tips help you to save money at FatFace.
