The Latest offers team, made up of expert shoppers, took to social media to reveal their hacks.
The first hack that professional shoppers recommended was downloading the B&M scanner app.
The free-to-download app has a built-in scanner that allows customers in stores to check the latest price of products in the B&M system.
It may seem like a daunting task, but this can sometimes be the best way to find the best deals, especially since price tags on the shelf can be more expensive than those in the app.
The Latest Deals team said: “This is how deal hunters find crazy B&M bargains”.
In a TikTok clip, they added: “B&M cuts prices on its system without updating price tags. To find the bargains you have to scan barcodes.”
The experts claimed some offers included ‘air fryers for a few quid and chocolate for pennies’.
The expert then reveals the exact day you should head to the shops for the best bargains.
They reveal that Wednesday morning is the best day and time of the week to make the most of your B&M store.
“A B&M manager told me this is when most new discounts come in,” the savvy shopper revealed.
The third and final tip to secure affordable purchases is to simply buy for the future.
Stores are more likely to offer discounts as they try to shift old stock, such as bargains in the days after Halloween and Christmas or cheap chocolates after Easter.
It may feel strange to buy summer stuff in the winter, but prices are often lowered to the lowest level to make room for new seasonal products.
Sometimes good preparation can save you money in the long run.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner allows you to see if the price of an item is cheaper than stated on the store label.
Products that are usually discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app can be downloaded for free from the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to an ex-B&M manager: you’ll also want to visit your local branch on Wednesdays at 10am.
Here’s how you can participate in the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you install it on your device, click on the option labeled “more” at the bottom right of the app’s homepage.
- You will then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you will open a camera screen.
- Move the camera over the barcode of the product you want to check.
- If the price is lower, take it to the checkout and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- To use the barcode scanner, you do not need to log in to the B&M app.
Shoppers should also look for products with a white discount sticker on them.
This means that a certain amount is deducted from the price stated on the label.
