B&M shoppers itching to get their hands on ‘amazing’ £1 bargain that can help freshen up your home
B&M shoppers can’t wait to get their hands on a bargain item to freshen up their homes.
Eagle-eyed customers have spotted a humidifier on shelves for £1 instead of £15 – a 93% discount.
The devices work by emitting moisture into the air and are ideal if you’re suffering from dry skin.
They can also ease symptoms brought on by the flu or a cold.
One shopper spotted the bargain humidifier in their local B&M branch and posted a photo of it on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
The post has notched up over 170 likes and comments from savvy savers who can’t wait to snap one of the gadgets up.
One commented “need one of these” while another, tagging a friend, added “go (get one) for me then”.
A third, who already has one of the humidifiers, chimed in: “These are amazing for such a small item really works well.”
However, based on the post, it looks like the humidifier was only this price in a branch in Swansea, and has now sold out.
There is one way you can find cheap bargains similar to this on your next trip to B&M though.
You can find your nearest B&M by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.
One sure fire way of bagging cheap items like the humidifier is by downloading the B&M Scanner app.
You can access it via the B&M app, which is free to download on to your smartphone via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
You login to the app, then point your smart phone camera towards a bar code and it tells you the item’s true price – this is when you know if it’s been reduced or not.
Bargain hunters say they’ve found items for as little as 10p through the app in the past.
Even if you think you’ve found a bargain, remember though to always shop around for the best deal.
You can use price comparison sites like Price Spy and trolley, which let you trawl through thousands of products to find the best price.
A quick scan of Google through its Product/Shopping tab will bring up retailers selling a particular item 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.
It comes after B&M shoppers were left rushing to pick up a £3 barbecue set earlier this week.
How to save money at B&M
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
