B&M shoppers spot ‘amazing’ homeware must-have for just 10p in clearance sale
SHOPPERS are racing to B&M to get their hands on homeware that has been reduced to just 10p.
One savvy shopper revealed she managed to bag casserole dishes and salt and pepper shakers that were so cheap they cost less than the carrier bag she bought them in.
The bargain hunter shared her find in the Extreme Couponing And Bargains UK group on Facebook.
The savvy shopper used the B&M scanner app to find the lower prices.
The shopper said: “Casserole Dish was £3 new price 10p salt and pepper set £2.50 new price 10p.”
Unsurprisingly the shopper bought three of the 10p casserole dishes with one set of salt and pepper shakers.
The post received hundreds of likes and comments and many group members couldn’t believe their eyes.
One user said: “Very good buy.”
Another said: “Brilliant. Makes me laugh that the bag cost more than twice the dishes.”
“I love these they are the perfect size to bake camembert too,” said someone else.
A fourth user declared the bargain: “Amazing.”
With items such as this stock will be limited from store to store and some might not have it for the same reduced price.
It’s safe to say you probably won’t find a deal like this anywhere else, casserole dishes usually go for around £20 to £30.
Some brands like Le Cruset have prices going up to a whopping £375 in John Lewis.
But it is always worth shopping when looking to buy a product as you might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.
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.
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.
What is the B&M barcode scanner?
The B&M scanner 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.
All you need to do is scan the barcode on any item in-store and see what price comes up.
Whatever price is showing is the price it will scan for at the tills.
Once you have the app on your phone, just click on the “scan” button at the bottom of your homepage.
This will then bring up the camera on your smartphone, which you’ll need to use to scan barcodes.
While the reductions can sometimes seem a bit random, it is usually seasonal stock or old stock.
Products that are usually discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
It seems B&M is the place to be to find deals on homeware, earlier this year shoppers spotted a snazzy nest of tables scanning for £1 instead of £50.
There have also been quite a few deals on the Spaceways furniture.
Last month we saw a shopper bag a drinks trolley for just £5 instead of £30.
Late last year a shopper spotted a £65 dining set down to just £10.
