Shoppers rave over B&M dupe of beloved M&S favourite which is scanning at a fraction of the price
SHOPPERS are raving about B&M’s dupe of a beloved M&S favourite which is scanning at a fraction of the price.
A savvy shopper posted the dupe in the Food Find UK Official Facebook group, where bargain hunters regularly share new items they discover in supermarkets.
M&S’s Hazelnut Creme has been a favourite among shoppers – but now B&M are giving the spread a run for its money.
Shoppers are looking to stock up on some sweet essentials in time for Christmas.
And one lucky shopper’s shared an incredible deal on Facebook that has shoppers rushing to the bargain retailer.
Sharing a picture of the unbelievable find, the user wrote: “Hazelnut Spread found in B&M in Spondon, Derby.”
The Cocoa Co’s smooth hazelnut spread is priced at a mere £1.89.
In comparison, M&S’s hazelnut creme is £4.50.
By opting for the B&M version that is 58 per cent cheaper, shoppers could save themselves an unbelievable £2.61.
The post accumulated hundred of likes and comments of shoppers desperate to get their hands on the spread.
One user said: “This could save us a fortune!”
Another commented: “I love choc spread.”
And: “I need this lol!”
Similarly, shoppers are racing to get a Home Bargains dupe of a beloved M&S chocolate snack scanning at a cheaper price.
Home Bargain’s new Elkes Temptations is a dupe of M&S’ popular Milk Chocolate Custard Creams.
The knock-off treats are scanning at the popular discount chain’s tills for only £1.99.
This is just over £1 less than the price at which M&S is selling their chocolatey snack.
Home Bargain fans can choose from a Chocolatey Custard Cream or the sought-after Chocolatey Bourbon Creams.
The caption for the post read: “Found these in-home bargains today they are £1.99 bit cheaper than the M&S ones not tried them yet.”
Hundreds of fellow bargain hunters have left likes and left comments expressing their desire to snap up the tasty treats.
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.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
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.
