B&M shopper clears shelves of Costa coffee pods worth £75 scanning for just £7.50
B&M shoppers are clearing the shelves of Costa coffee pods worth £75 – now scanning at the tills for just £7.50.
A savvy shopper shared their find in a Facebook group where users regularly post about B&M bargains.
The anonymous member wrote: “Approx £75 pounds of coffee for £7.50.
“There were absolutely loads left! Thank you B&M.”
The photo showed stacks of Costa Latte pods, with each packet reduced from £5 to just 50p.
The post received hundreds of likes and comments from fellow bargain hunters eager to get their hands on the discounted coffee pods.
“I need these,” said one user.
Another added: “OMG!! Lucky you.”
“Look at them I bet our B&M don’t have them,” a third commented.
However, not everyone was convinced by the cheap Costa coffee pods.
“I think they’re short date the milk pods aren’t the best,” explained one shopper.
They added: “I had some and had to toss them when out of date.”
Another user wrote: “Milk is in with coffee but this is a scam.”
“Short dates won’t hurt, but if the milk, throw it away,” said another shopper.
Of course, do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest B&M store using the locator tool on the website.
The price of the pods hasn’t been reduced on B&M’s website, where shoppers can find a variety of options, from Caramel Latte to Cappuccino, all priced at £5.25.
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, so prices and stock will vary from store to store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Why B&M is so good for bargains
SENIOR Digital Writer, Abby Wilson, who loves a shopping trip to B&M, has shared her thoughts on why the chain is the place to go for bargain buys...
WE all love B&M (especially me). It’s a one-stop-shop where you can nab all things from gardenware and homeware, to snacks and cleaning supplies.
Not only do we love the variety B&M offers (because after all, who can be bothered to go to five different shops anymore?!), but the prices are brilliant too.
If you’re on a budget, B&M is definitely worth vising – as it’s full of cheap bargain buys.
Not only will you find affordable items, but B&M is full of dupes too – so if you’re after beauty buys without the designer price tag, you’ll need to take a trip.
Similar to this, the chain are eager to get on trends – so if you see something in H&M Home but are on a budget and can’t justify the price, give it a few weeks and you’ll probably spot something similar on the shelves in your local B&M.
