‘So impressed’ cry B&M shoppers after high tech home essential scans for almost HALF the price
ONE clever customer has bagged a high-tech vacuum cleaner for almost half of its regular retail price.
The savvy B&M shopper picked up a Russell Hobbs Atlas 2 Cyclonic Cylinder Vacuum and found it scanned for just £39, down from £69.
She shared her incredible get on social media, writing: “Hoovers scanning at £39 in B&M picked one up, suction is quite strong”.
Someone commented underneath, saying: “I have this hoover it’s great, suction is great”.
And someone replied: “It is I was so impressied.
“And it was a bargain, win win,” they added.
The same model can go for as much as £48 from other retailers like Amazon.
Currys is selling it for a much larger £52.99.
Another household essential is scanning at B&M for a fraction of its retail price.
A loyal customer revealed the favourite store is selling lamps for £1 instead of the usual £9.
Along with pictures of the goods she wrote: “Lamps at B&M £9.
“Sticker on lamps says reduced to £7 but on shelf said £1 and went through the till at £1.”
The bargain hunter said she picked up the lamps at the Lytham St Anne’s branch which is near Blackpool.
Viewers were quick to praise the find with one dubbing it “brilliant”.
Another simply congratulated the poster, saying “well done you”.
Bear in mind, if you’re looking to snap up the vacuum on sale, or the lamp for £1, you might not find it in your local branch so cheap.
Retailers tend to reduce items like this to clear stock in specific branches.
So it’s not a guarantee that you will find a bargain just like other punters do.
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.
Back in May 2023, B&M announced plans to open 30 new stores in the UK over the past year, including some relocations of older sites.
Earlier this year the chain favourite opened 17 new stores, many of which were former Wilko sites.
B&M agreed to buy up to 51 locations in a £13 million deal in September 2023.
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.
