B&M shoppers snap up gadget perfect for cosy film nights scanning for £1 instead of £69
SHOPPERS are rushing to buy a heavily discounted item from their nearest B&M store which is perfect for cosy nights in as autumn gets closer.
The Goodmans film projector now costs just £1, instead of the full price of £69, which is nearly 100% off.
One savvy shopper spotted the bargain buy on sale at B&M and posted it on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, writing: “Goodmans projector scanning through as £1 in B&M.”
One person commented: “Go grab me one.”
Another said: “Check these tomorrow.”
Someone else wrote: “Paid £70 for this last Christmas.”
Another added: “Has anyone managed to get one??”
The B&M website is listing the Goodmans Mini Projector for £49.00 reduced from £69.00, but stock will vary in store, and it’s advisable to check if it’s available near you.
Older stock is often significantly reduced to make way for newer items at the end of the season.
The projector is capable of displaying a picture up to 150″ wide, and is compatible with TV smart boxes and sticks, such as Now TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Google Chromecast, and Roku.
It can also work with satellite or cable boxes such as Sky, Virgin, BT, games consoles, USB sticks, USB hard drives, DVD & Blu-Ray players, laptops, smartphones and tablets.
Amazon is selling a similar mini projector with a tripod for £49.99.
You can also buy an old school style vintage film projector on eBay for £79.99.
It’s always a good idea to shop around to make sure you can find the best deals.
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.
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.
Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
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.
CamelCamelCamel is another option – but only for goods that are sold on Amazon.
To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
