B&M slashes price of handy phone gadget scanning at tills for just 10p instead of £10
B&M has slashed the price of a handy phone gadget that is scanning at tills for just 10p.
An eagle-eyed shopper spotted the bargain at the discount retail store.
The 10-watt Illumalight wireless charger with LED light usually costs £10, but a customer got it at a much lower price.
Writing on a Facebook group where customers share B&M bargains, the shopper shared a photo of the product and the receipt.
He wrote: “10p bargain today.”
When asked by a fellow group member whether the charger actually works, the shopper replied: “Yeah it’s fine.”
Other customers tagged their friends on the Facebook post to inform them of the offer.
The product is compatible with iPhone and Android and comes with a charging cable included.
If you’re keen to snap one of the chargers up, it could be worth calling your local branch to see if it has any in stock.
You can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer’s store locator on its website.
But you should always remember to shop around before buying anything like this as you might find the item cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Price Spy let you compare prices on thousands of products to find out where it will cost you the least.
You can also have a quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab to see how much retailers are selling a particular item for.
A similar charger from the Nanami brand is being sold for £13.99 on Amazon.
A wireless charging pad is also available at Argos for £12.99.
Ikea sells its Livboj wireless charger for just £5.
The latest bargain was shared just days after another B&M customer found that some popular dog food was scanning for just 10p.
An excited shopper alerted the group “extreme couponing and bargains UK” on Facebook of her Naturo Natural Pet Food find.
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.
Posting a photo of multiple packs of 12 cans, she wrote: “Deal or what…10p yes 10p each!”
She said she snared the deal in B&M in Cannock.
She was unapologetic about clearing the shelves, adding she had three big Rottweilers to satisfy.
The post blew up on Facebook with many raving over the deal.
One commented: “What a bargain! That food is expensive too. And having a Rottie I know how much they love their scran.”
Another said: “Brilliant deal, I have 6 rescue dogs that have Naturo and it’s not cheap. I would have cleared the shelves.”
A third shared the sentiment, writing: “Good find! I would have also taken them all.”
