SHOPPERS are racing to B&M after a bargain hunter landed a £25 set of ‘EarPods’ for £1 a pop.
Fans have been quick to ask which store the shopped nabbed the cheap gadget, while asking their pals to keep an eye out.
The anonymous B&M shopper took to Facebook to share their find.
They wrote: “Definitely a bargain.
“EarPods £25 and scanned at £1 so paid £6 instead of £117.”
They also shared that they’d managed to get another gadget for cheap, too.
The shopper wrote: “£14 for them power banks but scanned at £1.”
Bargain hunters quickly started tagging their pals.
One said: “Can you have a look please?”
While another told a friend: “Wow I’ll keep my eyes peeled.”
Another quizzed in shock: “How do you get such low prices on things like these?”
The shopper who landed the bargain said they’d been checking the app, and managed to land the discount.
B&M fans have always raved about the app, saying it had saved them hundreds of pounds.
It’s not unusual for fans to rave about B&M bargains.
Shoppers have been scrambling to their nearest B&M stores to find a new cleaning scent after a fan-favourite brand announced its new range this week.
Fabulosa already has an army of devoted cleaning fanatics who have cupboards full of their disinfectants.
But their new Soft Nectar collection is causing a frenzy with people desperate to give it a try.
And the best part? Everything costs just £1.
Elsewhere, B&M shoppers jokingly declared “summer’s over” after a savvy shopper bagged an incredible bargain.
The customer couldn’t believe his luck when he bought a BBQ for just 10p and posted on Facebook to spread the word.
He wrote: “Bargain of the day get yourself to B&M instant BBQ 10p bonus.”
Viewers appeared impressed with the bargain, with one writing “cheap skate,” and another joking: “Summer‘s over.”
The bargain comes as B&M drastically cuts the price of a gadget which shoppers say is “perfect for the garden”.
B&M shoppers say they’ve saved hundreds of pounds by using the store’s free barcode scanner.
The tool allows them to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.
The scanner lets you see if the item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop shelf.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, or they’re labelled “big brands” and “big savings”.
It’s a terrific hack to use, especially since the cost of living keeps rising and inflation might hit 15% by the end of the year.
The scanner is completely free as well – you just need to download the B&M app.
We explain how it works, how to download it, and the best tricks to find a bargain.
How do I find the B&M scanner?
The B&M scanner is located on the B&M Stores mobile app, which can be downloaded for free on your smartphone.
Shoppers can download it on the App Store or Google 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. We explain below.
There is also help available on Facebook with a 200,000-strong membership page called ‘B&M scanner and other bargains‘ helping people share incredible deals they have found.
How do I find bargains with the B&M scanner?
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 £1, 50p or even 10p through the app.
For example, professional bargain hunter Holly Smith previously explained how she bagged a LOL Surprise game for £1 instead of £10 by using the app.
We’ve also previously spoke to one mum who managed to find a Spiderman toy for just 10p, plus another woman found cushions reduced to 10p with the scanner.
But of course, not all items will scan at a lower price – so don’t be disappointed if the thing you’re after isn’t reduced.
Quite often, you’ll need to have plenty of time on your hands to go round and scan a lot of items in store.
While the reductions can seem random, it’s usually items that are seasonal or old stock.
For example, you’ll likely see Christmas products reduced on the app after December 25, or chocolate eggs down for pennies after Easter.
Another thing to note is that the reductions do sometimes vary between stores.
This means just because something is reduced in one B&M, it doesn’t mean it’ll cost the same price elsewhere.
But if you do get lucky and find a bargain, the product should scan at that price at the till.
We’ve asked B&M what happens if it doesn’t come up at the lower price, and if staff have to honour the scanner price, and we’ll update this article when we know more.
The scanner only works in stores.
