B&M shoppers rush to buy 10p pet toy with ‘loads’ left on shelves
SHOPPERS are racing to B&M to get their hands on pet toys that have been reduced to just 10p.
One savvy shopper, Suzie Smith, revealed she managed to bag a kitty- kins turntable track and treat toy for cats at an unbelievable price in Kettering’s B&M.
Suzie shared her find on Facebook, posting: “Anyone with cats, B&M Kettering by Tesco is selling these off for 10p.”
Usually, these treat toys can cost upwards of £3.50, but B&M has them at an absolute steal. For context, a similar track toy for cats is listed for £18 at Pets at Home.
With deals like this, stock will be limited and not all stores will have the same reduced prices.
However, B&M shoppers across the UK can find similar bargains if they know where to look.
How to snag the best bargains at B&M
Shoppers swear by the B&M scanner app, which can be used to track down the deals.
One savvy shopper shared a tip that left others shocked.
They said: “On the B&M app, search for sale items, and put it in price order – you’ll find everything in order of price starting from the lowest. That’s what I do!”
The B&M app is free to download on the App Store for iPhone and Android.
It has a scanner feature which can be used in-store to scan the barcode, often revealing big reductions. .
On the app you can also search “sale” which brings up all the items on sale.
Order the list from lowest to highest, and you’ll discover the items priced at 10p first. You can then look for the item in-store.
When we tried the app, we found a dog toy for 50p was the cheapest available at the time.
We also found a handheld mirror reduced from £2.50 to £2, and a slow cooker with accessories from £40 to £30.
However, the items on sale and availability can vary at different times, so it’s worth checking regularly.
Other shoppers were thrilled to find this money-saving trick. One said: “No way! Just found some great deals! Thanks!! Will be back tomorrow.”
Another commented: “What a great idea!! Thanks! Will try that rn [right now].”
So, if you’re looking to bag some bargains for your pets, keep an eye on the B&M app and get scanning.
You may be able to bag yourselves a summer bargain, one savvy shopper recently found a disposable BBQ for 10p instead of £4 and another found decking tiles for £1 instead of £14.
The bargain retailer also had a portable cooler for £4 instead of £20, and garden screening for just a few of pennies instead of £20.
How to get the best deals
While you’re unlikely to beat a 10p deal, it’s always worth comparing prices to get the best deal.
Just because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good 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.
Here are some that we recommend:
- 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 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 only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of
