How to find hidden sales in B&M?
The Gold Billions Wafer features the golden caramel coating we all know and love, now with the addition of delicious crispy wafer and smooth chocolate cream.
Sainsbury's is selling them online for £0.75.
You can grab the popular treat in B&M for £2 for a pack of 14.
Ocado also has the chocolate available with £2.30 getting you the same family sized pack.
Always remember to shop around when buying something like this as well as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.
You can use websites like Price Spy and Trolley to compare prices on thousands of products across different retailers.
The Google Product tab is helpful for running a quick scan across the internet too.
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.
This isn't the first time McVities have made fans happy, earlier this year the biscuit brand brought back the white chocolate digestive after 20 years.
The new Victoria chocolate orange dreams have been spotted on shop shelves and shoppers say they "look unreal".
However, fans have noticed that Jaffa cake boxes have shrunk but the price has still stayed the same.
Boxes are the same size and still hold ten — but the cakes are now 11g from 12.2g and their total weight has vanished from the packaging.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
In other news, KitKat fans are rejoicing as a "discontinued" Nestle favourite has been spotted back on supermarket shelves.
Shoppers are "hunting down" new Bounty treat spotted on supermarket shelves but others say it "makes them want to be sick".
And Asda fans are going wild about a new "delicious" dupe that "tastes like" Caramac.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
What is the B&M scanner app?
SAVVY shoppers are using an app to find better discounts in stores.
Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Remember you can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer's store locator tool on its website.
