B&M slashes price of kitchen essential to just £1 instead of £20 and shoppers can’t believe their eyes
B&M has slashed the price of a popular kitchen gadget that is scanning at tills for just £1.
An eagle-eyed shopper spotted the bargain chopper at the discount retail store, which typically retails for around £20.
It’s designed to take the effort out of food preparation and is perfect for salads and sauces.
The chopper features stainless steel blades to ensure great performance and longevity, and with two-speed settings, including a turbo mode, you can easily tailor the device to suit your recipe needs.
Writing on a Facebook group where customers share B&M bargains, the shopper shared a photo of the product and the receipt.
She wrote: “Scanning at £1.”
Other customers tagged their friends on the Facebook post to inform them of the offer.
One person simply commented: “Bargain.”
Another said: “Mine blew yesterday! Hoping and praying mine has them in at this price.”
One person questioned: “How do you do this? Are you signing in on the B&M app? Cos I always go in there and can never find anything x”
The shopper replied: “I literally just needed a chopper and got lucky xx”
The massive reduction is likely due to stock clearance, so it’s always best to phone ahead to check if your local store is actually selling the item.
You can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer’s store locator on its website.
We couldn’t find the exact original price of the chopper on B&M, but other retailers, such as Amazon, sell it for £18.95.
The product has 74 ratings on the Amazon listing, 59 of which gave it five stars.
One customer commented: “This is a little mean machine! It is excellent for chopping, a bit noisy to be expected but it’s beautiful quality at a great price, I would highly recommend it.”
Another said: “Great chopper and easy to use. Pulse the button to chop finely and hold the button to blend into a paste.”
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
Remember to always shop around for the best deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers.
All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
Why B&M is so good for bargains
SENIOR Digital Writer, Abby Wilson, who loves a shopping trip to B&M, has shared her thoughts on why the chain is the place to go for bargain buys...
WE all love B&M (especially me). It’s a one-stop-shop where you can nab all things from gardenware and homeware, to snacks and cleaning supplies.
Not only do we love the variety B&M offers (because after all, who can be bothered to go to five different shops anymore?!), but the prices are brilliant too.
If you’re on a budget, B&M is definitely worth vising – as it’s full of cheap bargain buys.
Not only will you find affordable items, but B&M is full of dupes too – so if you’re after beauty buys without the designer price tag, you’ll need to take a trip.
Similar to this, the chain are eager to get on trends – so if you see something in H&M Home but are on a budget and can’t justify the price, give it a few weeks and you’ll probably spot something similar on the shelves in your local B&M.
B&M has also recently slashed the price of a handy phone gadget that is scanning at tills for just 10p.
The 10-watt Illumalight wireless charger with LED light usually costs £10, but a customer got it for just 10p.
The product is compatible with iPhone and Android and comes with a charging cable included.
Likewise, the bargain was shared just days after another B&M customer found that some popular dog food was scanning for just 10p.
An excited shopper alerted the group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK” on Facebook of her Naturo Natural Pet Food find.
Posting a photo of multiple packs of 12 cans, she wrote: “Deal or what…10p yes 10p each!”
She said she snagged the deal in B&M in Cannock.
