How can I save money at B&M?
The B&M barcode scanner app allows you to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.
It lets shoppers see if the item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop shelf.
It is completely free to get and use, you just need to download the B&M app from the Google Play store or Apple store.
Shoppers should also keep an eye out for products with a white reduction sticker on.
This means they will have a certain amount slashed off the price shown on the label.
It’s cheaper to shop for products at the end of the season.
Get friendly with staff too, they’ll be able to tell you when the sales will hit, or if there are bargains out the back – so you get the best bits.
“On these six items alone, she saved £199 by switching to the B&M alternative, rather than the luxury option.
“It’s worth bearing in mind that dupes aren’t identical to the original product. But, if you’re on a budget, they can give you a similar look for a fraction of the price”.
