How can I save money at B&M?
While a closing down sale offers big discounts on already bargain prices, there are still ways to save at B&M every other day too.
TheĀ B&M barcode scanner appĀ allows you to discover discounted items before the staff has even reduced them.
TheĀ scannerĀ is located on the B&M Stores mobile app, which can be downloaded for free on your smartphone.
Shoppers can download it on theĀ App StoreĀ orĀ GoogleĀ Play.
Once you've got the app, click on the "scan" button at the bottom of your homepage.
This will then bring up the camera on your smartphone, which you'll need to use to scan barcodes.Ā
When you've found a product you want to scan, simply point your smartphone camera toward its barcode.
The app will then automatically bring up the item's price – this is when you'll know if it is reduced or not.
Bargain hunters say some items come up as Ā£1, 50p or even 10p through the app.
Shoppers should also keep an eye out for products with aĀ white reduction stickerĀ on.
This means they will have a certain amount slashed off the price shown on the label.
Shop for products at the end of the season – we've seen shoppers make huge savings this way.
