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.
B&M has also recently slashed the price of a handy phone gadget that is scanning at tills for just 10p.
The 10-watt Illumalight wireless charger with LED light usually costs £10, but a customer got it for just 10p.
The product is compatible with iPhone and Android and comes with a charging cable included.
Likewise, the 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.
Posting a photo of multiple packs of 12 cans, she wrote: “Deal or what…10p yes 10p each!”
She said she snagged the deal in B&M in Cannock.
