Home Bargains staff were quick to provide an answer.
Home Bargains workers reveal the real meaning behind the red star stickers
One employee took to the page to reveal the meaning behind the red star sticker, saying: "It’s a product we will always stock.
"It’s mainly for staff so if we don’t have any in to leave the price there and leave the shelf space as it should come back in on the next delivery if we sell out."
Another said it represents the 75 best-selling products for the well-known retailer, adding: "It’s mainly for staff so if we don’t have any in to leave the price there and leave the shelf space as it should come back in on the next delivery if we sell out."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
